WrestleZone’s Top 10: Royal Rumble Match Moments

Number 6: It’s a Tie

With a shot at the WWE Championship at WrestleMania X, Providence hosted one of the most controversial endings to any Royal Rumble match. Bret Hart, an established veteran who was great in the ring, would be left with a young and powerful stud named Lex Luger. Both men, two different styles, would be eliminated simultaneously. Both men were considered winners, deemed by WWE President Jack Tunney. The crowd did not know who to cheer, or what to do. This would create suspense to leak over into the next night, where it was decided that both men would fight two matches at WrestleMania. We remember Bret Hart losing to Owen, but then walking out with the WWE Championship after defeating Yokozuna. What a mess this was to figure out, and shocking considering how they went about booking WrestleMania X. Hart lost the opening match to his brother, but revenge was sought after when he was WWE Champion. For Lex, he would become champion later on but never reached his pinnacle.
