The Best Royal Rumble Matches Ever: Ranked

#23 1996 (Shawn Michaels):

The only good part about HBK winning again was his excellent match with Bret Hart at WrestleMania 12

If you ever had any reason to believe WWE’s roster was stretched thin during the mid-1990s, look no further than in this match. It featured non-regular wrestlers like Dory Funk, Jr., Takao Omori and Doug Gilbert, none of whom had a lasting impact on the match.

Much of the action itself was limited, with most wrestlers spending their time against the ropes trying to eliminate someone else or avoiding being eliminated. Too little action, not enough to really remember.
