A different way of telling a story
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
1st Match: Tatanka vs Bam Bam Bigelow. Wow, was that really Tatanka's gimmick? I'm not offended or anything, it just surprises me that's all. I'm gonna have to get used to these older wrestlers, but whatever, the match is pretty good. There's some good back and forth action, and the crowd's super into it. Rating: 3/5 2nd Match: Bret & Owen Hart vs The Quebecers, WWF Tag Team Championships. So this is the moment when Owen turned on Bret, huh? Kind of a shame the match drags on a lot. The story of the match is that Bret won't tag in Owen because he's too selfish. That's fine, but Bret getting his leg almost ripped off for 10 minutes was too long, the ending is also pretty lame. I've heard of refs stopping matches before, but this isn't handled all that well. Rating: 3/5 3rd Match: Razor Ramon vs I.R.S., WWF Intercontinental Championship. A good bounce back from the first two OK matches. I'll give this PPV something, the crowd is white hot throughout the whole thing. Rating: 3.5/5 4th Match: Yokozuna vs The Undertaker, Casket match for the WWF Championship. The first half of this match is good, the second half of this match drags on forever. I've heard the joke of Taker needing the interference of 100 guys to lose a match a million times, this goes too far. And don't even get me started on his spirit rising out of the casket, it goes beyond ridiculous to just stupid. Rating: 1.5/5 5th Match: Royal Rumble match. So I've never reviewed a Royal Rumble match before, so I'm not sure how to talk about this match. I guess I'll just cover the highlights. Scott Steiner apparently wasn't always on steroids. Diesel is a force to be reckoned with. Doink is really creepy. Lex Luger and Bret Hart both win the match, which is so drawn out it's not even funny. This is one of the weaker Rumble mates I've seen, but I don't think I can judge it like that, because this came out before the others. Rating: 3/5 Final Rating: 6 out of 10. Probably not the best PPV to start off my return to wrestling, but I tried. I wouldn't watch this again, but there were some good moments. The good thing is that Wrestlemania X is coming up, which I hear is great.
1. Tatanka Vs. Bam Bam Bigelow - Nice moonsault from BBB, rest was nothing special. 5/10 2. WWF Tag Team Championship: Champs (went first)-Quebeckers Vs. Bret & Owen Hart - Raven aka Johnny Polo at ringside :) Hart loses and Owen Turns on Bret. But the match was great, mostly because of Owen. 7/10 3. WWF Intercontinental Championship: I.R.S. Vs. Champ-Razor Ramon 6.5/10 4. WWF Heavyweight Championship: Champ-Yokozuna (went first) Vs. The Undertaker - No DQ, so 1 against 10 match and Taker lost, hmm not so much wrestling. 5/10 5. Royal Rumble: Scott Steiner, Samu, Rick Steiner, Owen Hart, Kwang, Bart Gunn, Diesel, Billy Gunn, Double J, Randy Savage, Virgil, Crush, Doink, Bam Bam Bigelow, Mable, Bob Backlund, Sparky Plugg, Shawn Michaels, Mo, Greg Valentine, Tatanka, The Great Kabuki, Lex Luger, Tenryu, Bastion Booger, Rick Martel, Bret Hart, Fatu, Marty Jannetty, Adam Bomb, Notes: Steiners aren't so much popular like in WCW, push for Diesel... 6/10
People usually say things like the 1992, 1995, or 1997 Rumbles are the best, but Royal Rumble 1994 always comes to mind as the best Royal Rumble ever. It serves at the starting point for one of the most bitter feuds in World Wrestling Federation history; Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart. The incident with the Undertaker is cheesy and supernatural, but this is sports entertainment dammit! The events leading up to his "death" (10 superstars interfering in the match) is pretty cool which is revisted in 1998, and the most controversial finish of the Royal Rumble takes place here when Bret hart and Lex Luger and eliminated simultaneously thus having co-winners of the Rumble (which means double main event at WrestleMania X)!10/10
An event full of twists and turns. Owen Hart turns on his brother during their attempt to capture the tag team titles. The Hitman fights off a bad knee to limp to the ring and win the 30 match Royal Rumble. Great event - with the Undertaker involved in a casket match with Yokozuna and the Bad Guy Razor Ramon defending the Intercontinental Title against IRS.
