10 Unbelievable Royal Rumble Moments

#8 Vince McMahon breaks records with a Royal Rumble win

Did Vince McMahon really win the 1999 Royal Rumble match?

The feud between WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and everyone's favorite alcoholic misanthrope Stone Cold Steve Austin is legendary. McMahon wanted to do everything in his power to keep Stone Cold from having the WWE world title and representing the company.

This led to Vince McMahon using every dirty trick in the book to cause misery for Stone Cold. In order to prevent Steve Austin from winning the Royal Rumble, he stacked the deck against the Texas Rattlesnake. Not only was Austin going to be the first man in the ring, his opponent was going to Vince McMahon himself.

McMahon mostly spent the opening minutes of the match running from Steve Austin. In fact, they both disappeared for most of the Rumble match, having gone through the middle ropes and not technically being eliminated.

Later, when the field was down to only a few, the pair would return to the match. Through dirty tricks and a fluke, McMahon managed to eliminate Stone Cold, giving him an ignoble record; McMahon is the only man to ever win the Rumble while only having a single elimination.
