#Wwe roster 1995 series#
Then there was Doink, who was never inducted as a character, but who was responsible for two horrific Survivor Series matches that were, and was accompanied by Dink, one of the first inductees to the site. Now, you might think that the famous ending was the only memorable moment of this match… but not if you’re Earl Hebner, who surely remembers taking this unexpected plancha by “The Dumpster.” Next out was the wrestling garbageman Duke Droese, the second consecutive Wrestlecrap inductee of the match… Eli Blu, by the way, is the first Wrestlecrap inductee in this match. Keep in mind that “reality” in 1995’s WWF was pretty weird. Then reality hit in the form of an Appalachian mountain man dressed as Bruiser Brody with Nazi tattoos. Judging by the caliber of the first two entrance, you’d think the WWF was really pulling out the stops to put on a Rumble worthy of Pam Anderson, since it looked completely stacked. The second man in was The British Bulldog.ĭavey Boy didn’t wear his heart on his sleeve, but he did wear this penis on his tights. If I could re-arrange the Congressional districts, I’d put U and I closer together! No, actually it stood for “Themis Klarides,” the former Raw girl who would become the only wrestling personality to win an election in Connecticut.
The Heartbreak Kid made a kissy face while flashing the letters “TK,” standing for up-and-coming country singer Toby Keith. The first man to enter the match was Shawn Michaels. Nearly every misfit and weirdo on the scene was in the Rumble match that night. When the WWF did this in 1995, it was them showing off their actual roster. When WWE gathers up all of its oddballs into one segment nowadays, it’s always a set-up for Ron Simmons to walk in and say “Damn!” So when Pam arrived at the arena, who should greet her but a mob of freaks! The other special stipulation for this Royal Rumble was that the winner would not only receive a title shot at Wrestlemania XI, but would also be accompanied by Pamela Anderson. It’s a bit like trying to get in shape by driving to work every day, since it’s way faster and therefore more strenuous than biking or running. In fact, it required less conditioning than any Rumble before it, since a wrestler had to last only half as long to make it to the end. Yes, the Rumble itself was faster-paced in that people entered at shorter intervals, but it didn’t mean anyone in the match actually had to move any faster. Vince hyped up the 1995 Rumble as the fastest-paced ever, requiring great conditioning. That's not the worst move, assuming Razor was booked to go far in the tournament, if not win it all, but that's not what we got.ĭespite escorting Savio to the ring at the event, The Bad Guy did not perform in the ring and it didn't help the quality of the show.That year, the Rumble match would have only sixty seconds between entrants, rather than the usual two minutes. Instead of giving Razor one final chance to regain the Intercontinental Title, considering he pinned Jarrett clean at In Your House, WWE threw Razor in the tournament. The Bad Guy had just come off a victory over the Intercontinental Champion Jeff Jarrett and The Roadie in a 2-on-1 handicap match at the very first In Your House. This is the one entry that won't fall on the shoulders of Vince McMahon, Pat Patterson, Bruce Prichard or anyone else involved in booking WWE at the time, as it involved a legitimate injury to a talent that couldn't have been avoided. Schyster with the winner getting Razor's freed-up tournament spot. A last-minute match took place on the countdown show, Sunday Night Slam, that saw Savio Vega battle Irwin R.
