    Storyline

    • Trivia
      During the show, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin was seen as a marked man with The Godwinns, Nation of Domination and Los Boricuas all trying to get him. Before the Royal Rumble match, it looked like Los Boricuas had attacked Austin with nobody entering at #22 but it turned out they attacked Skull (who was supposed to come out at that spot).
    • Goofs
      Commentator Jim Ross states that this is only the 2nd Rumble match for Honky Tonk Man, when in fact, it is his 3rd. He previously appeared in the 1989 and 1990 Rumble matches.
    • Quotes

      Jerry Lawler: Just look at the idiots that are in this ring right now. Chainsaw, Mosh, Cactus Jack. I feel like calling "Unsolved Mysteries" and saying "Hey, I found everybody."

    • Alternate versions
      Bonus footage contained on the video:
      • After the Rock/Shamrock match, they show Shamrock attacking The Rock backstage, being pulled off by the referees. The Rock tells the refs to "get that piece of shit out of my dressing room."
      • After the casket match, WWF crew members put out the fire, then open the casket to reveal it's empty. The Undertaker's voice comes over the PA, saying that until he & Kane meet again, he will never rest in peace.

    Great event

    This is a great video. I mean you have many great matches including the royal rumble itself. There is also a midget match with the legendary Max Mini. This is a must see for any wrestling fan preferably WWF.
