It's crazy to think that in 1993 that nobody could toss over the 550 lbs Yokozuna to eliminate him, yet in 1996 Shawn Michaels eliminated both the 648 lbs Yokozuna and 450 lbs Vader at the same time in one go!

Not in WWF at the time but Jake Roberts. If were going with non-WWF guys, Ravishing Rick Rude would have been a good choice. |

I don't hate this statement.... it now makes me want to watch everything from HBK's face turn after Wrestlemania XI to him winning the WWF Title at Wrestlemania XII

It’s a corny phrase but works for me as a wrestling fan. His run from WM XI-XII is pretty great. |

Backlund. Bulid him up as the Opie baby face through promos then have him only eliminate faces in a shady way throughout the Rumble. Then have him last eliminate Savage in a dirty way. Bret comes out to congratulate the winner, Backlund shakes his hand, pulls him in for thr chicken wing until officials get it broken up.
Final shot will be Bret laying in the ring and Backlund at the entrance looking at his hands the way he did when he turned in '94.
Next time you see Backlund (raw) he would have the shaved head and crazy gimmick.

Yeah it was always going to be Yoko because Vince wanted to time travel to 1985 and have the whole USA vs then world craic again. Bam Bam is a great choice and Ive said for years that Savage as an anti NG heel paired up with Lawler would have been GOLD.
