Easily it's Hogan in the 1989 Rumble!
I feel that entire Rumble could have been greater than what it is if some things had changed.
1. Studd and Andre should have had a meeting in the ring, they kept them as far away from each other as they could
2. Demolition and Powers of Pain worked some spots and perhaps lead to eliminating each other somehow
3. If Hulk Hogan had won the freaking event!
I watched this event just a week ago and when Hogan got eliminated, the entire arena just went quiet. It sucked the air out of the arena. Not even Brutus Beefcake of Big John Studd could save the last 1/4 of that Rumble match.
I feel Studd winning it would have been a bigger deal if Hogan had not even been in the match.

1. Hogan being eliminated in 1989 (although I don't necessarily see it as a bad thing). 2. Hogan helping Flair eliminate Sid Justice in 1992. 3.  |

Rikishi eliminating Taker in 01 was crazy

Probably Sid eliminating Hogan. At that point, it always felt like Hogan was going to win.

Also, after just watching the 1994 Rumble, I gotta say it was quite surprising that Owen only last like a minute in the Rumble. You would think to help build him up he could have gotten a good run in the Rumble.

Still boggles my mind all these yrs later how they had Hogan pull on Sid's arm which would lead to the Natich win. Like he was thrown out fair and square. Just made em look like a big sore loser... How the hell was Sid the heel in this situation??!!! |

How the hell was Sid the heel in this situation??!!! To be fair, they had done that kind of stuff with Hogan before (Bossman in 1989), but never against a babyface. They really didn't need to change much, just have Hogan and Sid arguing with one another like they were, then have Flair come up and dump Sid out. This way, Hogan wouldn't help eliminate Sid and look like a sore loser, and they still reach the same goal. After Sid is eliminated, Hogan climbs back in and chases Flair out of the ring, then Sid comes up behind Hogan and shoves him. Now Sid kind of looks like the sore loser, he was focusing on Hogan and not Flair and it cost him, now he's blaming Hogan. |

You would think to help build him up he could have gotten a good run in the Rumble. Yeah I wouldve had em have a decent run until near the end. Have that moment where the buzzer goes off and nobody comes out, they show him all smiles thinking its Bret and the reason he no showed is all because of him. Then you have Bret come out lil bit after and throw em out. |

Shawn eliminating Yoko & Vader in '96. Tell tale sign of a rocket strapped to your ass when all 200 lbs of you soaking wet can throw out two super heavyweights at the same time.
Bryan being eliminated so early in '15 is up there for me
Undertaker/Shawn being eliminated halfway through '08 Rumble was rather shocking
Shawn being eliminated first in the '03 Rumble
Maven eliminating Taker in '02

Have the camera show Owen's reaction, maybe a scared one. He starts attacking Bret as he enters the ring, goes to clothesline Bret out of the ring and Bret dips his shoulder and out goes Owen to a huge pop. |

Heenan tried to tell everyone Hogan was the villain...lol
My all time favorite is Kane choke slamming Sabu through the table in 2007. Not necessarily shocking or surprising.
Maven eliminating Taker in 2002 probably shocked me the most. 12 year old me was a Taker fan so I was wide eyed for sure.

Austin going out in 2002. I felt sure we were gonna get Austin vs Jericho @wm18. Man did the air get sucked out of the building when he was eliminated. To this day it surprises me...crowd wanted Austin.
