WWE Royal Rumble winners: Where are they now? (1988-1999)

1. Royal Rumble 1999 - Mr. McMahon

Mr. McMahon

That's right. Vince McMahon. He won the Royal Rumble.

This was at the height of the McMahon/Steve Austin feud during what I suppose some people call the "Attitude Era." McMahon had put a "bounty" on the head of Austin, with a heap of cash going to whomever could eliminate the Texas Rattlesnake and prevent him from going to WrestleMania. He even entered it himself to help ensure it wouldn't happen.

By the end of the match, it was just Austin and McMahon and... well... the video above will tell you exactly what happened.

McMahon would give up his title shot, as the current champion at the time was his "Corporate Champion" The Rock. Of course, Austin would still go on to challenge Rock for the title at that year's WrestleMania, anyway, but it was a good plan while it lasted.

Nobody has heard from him since.

Just kidding. If I had to guess, he's probably backstage at the ThunderDome, getting things ready for this year's Royal Rumble. Even in his 70s, Vince McMahon doesn't take a day off.

Please, Vince. Take a day off. Go to a spa or something.
