Episode 138: WWF Royal Rumble 1997 (Shawn vs Sid)

The boyhood dream for HBK came true, and now, he returns home a man! Or some such nonsense. This Rumble wasn't beloved by all and didn't get amazing ratings, but the Marks genuinely enjoyed it. This was the first time ever an entrant in the Royal Rumble (Stone Cold Steve Austin) was eliminated, referees didn't see it, so they entered back into the ring and won the match. We discuss that as well as reviewing the rubber match for Sycho Sid and Shawn Michaels in the Alamodome for the WWF Title, Mexican lucha libre company AAA is involved in this gigantic show, Ahmed Johnson and Faarooq get their hands on one another, and much more. In the news, we discuss a wrestling legend making a pit stop in ECW, ECW preparing for their 1st ever PPV, Scott Hall getting beaten up as a shoot after concussing someone, tons of WWF gimmicks that went nowhere, and much more!
