When Shawn Michaels and Davey Boy Smith were revealed as the first two entrants of the 1995 Royal Rumble match, not even a single person in the World could have predicted that they were about to be part of a history making moment. After all, they were just two upper mid card superstars, even if they were among the favorites to win the match.In
In what is till this date the only instance of two superstars starting as well as finishing the Rumble match, the two legends dispatched the subsequent 28 superstars to keep it to just themselves, and while the infamous 1 minute interval reduced the length of the match to just a little over 38 minutes, it was still a big deal at that time.
Even though this face off was not as highly anticipated as their much later bouts in 1997, over the years it has gone on to attain a cult status among the fans.
