- On this episode of Something To Wrestle with Bruce Prichard, Bruce and Conrad take us back to 1989 and the development of the first Royal Rumble PPV! Bruce recounts how the original Royal Rumble was on broadcast television, so this one had to be bigger and grander in his home state of Texas. The guys discuss the naming of the event, the return of Big John Studd, the set up for WrestleMania V and so much more!

These ones from this era always my favorite. Love 87-93 WWF episodes the most.
1987 was the first full year I watched WWF. I agree with you about this timeframe being the best. I might include 1994, but it went to shit in 1995.
87-93 is great for wrestling, but terrible for collecting baseball cards lol (the wrestling fans who happen to collect know what I mean😉)
@@karlepaul6632 I def get you Karl
From 89 to 92 was the best rumble matches of all time in my opinion
I agree, with the exception of 1991. That Rumble wasn’t very good.
Hopefully next week's show (assuming Bruce is able to record) is a tribute show to the Genius Leaping Lanny Poffo.
Hannibal a real piece of shit for how he did Lanny!
This was my second favourite rumble with 92 being the best
The first two Rumbles on PPV 1989-90 were the best. The Royal Rumble match was excellently booked.
Crazy to leave out 1992.... Gotta be fair to Flair.
My family went to this rumble when I was just a youngster. It was very cool.
So glad you spent some time talking about Big John Studd. My favorite big man of all time and we don't hear a lot about him.
As a kid I loved his tights and boots. Great look for a big dude
True we don't hear too much about him i remember when I was a little kid in 1994 I saw a vhs tape featuring him and thought it was my uncle Robert
Big John Studd…. The most unlikely, not over, unmotivated, Royal Rumble winner ever.
Born in 1987, Started watching in 1989. First PPV my family bought was SummerSlam 1990. Ultimate Warrior vs Ravishing Ric Rude. I'm off topic beings this is RR89, but this was a very sentimental time for me as my fandom was just starting to take off.
This is the golden time of the WWF.
U know it!!
This is what most people refer to this era as. The golden era.
Absolutely. Pure magic
Yes wwe really makes you appreciate the wwf times...
The golden time is always the era you watched as a kid
Yessss love it when they do these older ppvs and shows.
I don’t know how I just found this channel, but I’ve been binge watching these. Brings back so many memories!
First Survivor Series = 1987 ... First Royal Rumble = 1988 ...
Meltzer actually said Rick Rudes body was "Nothing Special"??? What kind of drugs was he on when he wrote that WON issue?? Rude was a damn specimen!
Meltzer was trippin!
Great to see Bruce feeling well and so energetic. Some of the edge is missing compared to the early days of this podcast, but that is to be expected seeing as Brother Bruce is working with the company in a major role. This is leaps and bounds above what the show was for a couple years when it felt the passion for it was gone a bit. I commend Connie and Brucie for staying committed to bringing us this awesome show. I appreciate how the show has reclaimed it's glory in my opinion. 3.5 doots out of 5
I give your comment 2 stars out of 5 and my response to yours a 1 out of 5.
@@thegoughandbordenfamily8234 2 and 3 quarter stars for your comment on my Meltzer scale but if it was in the Tokyo Dome then...
I think heel Luger vs babyface Hogan couldve been an interesting feud..Mania main event worthy imo
OMG my whole office coworkers turned and looked at me while I LOL'd at Bruce yelling about taking pictures of your junk and sending to get developed....old man yells at cloud is correct.
This ppv was one of the first wrestling shows I rented from Blockbuster back in the day. I ended up hooking up two VCRs so I could record it and I still have it today. The King Haku vs Harley Race match wasn't included on the Coliseum Video version of the show, sadly.
There was also some edits to the Rumble as well. For example there was a stretch of wrestling during the battle royal where Studd, Akeem, Martel, Beefcake, Dibiase and Barbarian wrestled longer in the end but in the edit after Martel eliminated Barbarian he does a cross body on Akeem immediately and is tossed out. In the original seen on the dvd box set in 07 that Martel cross body happens about 90 seconds later. You can tell because the other wrestlers were in different spots in the ring during those segments.
Yup. The Network version doesn't show Demolition drawing their numbers.
Out of all the podcast I love these two
Love listening to Bruce tell these stories
Studd was 1 of my favorites and I loved the stars on the tights I saw him in person he was gigantic
Around 1:52:30 you can see Bruce takes a sip of his "tea" or his "gaterade".... You can clearly tell that it's not tea.... He gives a scrunched-up face. Because whatever he was drinking packed a little bit of a punch...if you know what I mean....Bruce be getting his drink on during the STW podcast ;-)
The belt in the bottom right of Conrads picture looks like a little lost face 😢
Damn! I totally forgot about The Astro arena lol! I remember I went there for the Rodeo on a school field trip lol!
thank you
"I wish I had an unspecial body like that" 💯
John Studs story, it sounds like he was bullied by Andre and by the office and he was given the cold shoulder by the rest of the talent because some 7 plus foot pea brain felt challenged
Seems a lot of Andre's bullying and general unpleasantness towards some of the other stars often goes forgotten. Iconic and legendary for sure and just lucky he came along when he did and not 10-15 years later when his lack of verbal skills and general lumbering around the ring would have made Giant Gonzales look like Shawn Michaels.
Andre was a bully POS period
@@adrianriley753 you must have never seen andre in his prime then, because he was fast, athletic, and good at wrestling. even at his worst he was better than gonzalez. nobody was as bad as gonzalez
That story about him and the late Paul Boesch made me tear up a little bit 😢
Fun to hear these stories. If Haku was shoot fighting, run the other way!
I would LOVE a Barry Horowitz show! Will you guys consider it?
Surprised no mention of warrior no selling getting sprayed in the eyes. Heenan had to empty the entire bottle into his eyes before he reacted.
Myself I love this specific Rumble match I thought it did a great job bringing up the current fueds at the time. Telling the story between Hogan and Savage. And a fun question would be if Big John Studd wasn't in the match then who would have won this match, Hogan, Andre, Debiase, or maybe even Brutes Beefcake
Hamilton, Ontario in the house here!
I would love to hear from Bruce what Vince McMahon thinks about Dave Meltzer.
He doesn't
I remember always saying, that after Big John Studd won the Royal Rumble, he looked high or on some kind of drugs standing in the middle of the Ring, after his name was announced
Damn you cloud made me laugh so much
i really wish we could see some of these Royal Rumble Beta tests. didn't anyone on staff of these house shows think...in the future these house shows may be worth seeing? dang lost treasures
Damn Bruce's Macho impression is almost as good as his Vince's.
Ooooooooooooo oooooooo ooooooòooh whoooooaaa oooòòooooooh ooooooooooh oooooooh whoa.... I LOVE YOU
Old school open!
Chat everybody up ,Bruce
around 22:00 minutes in the discussion about inter promotional matches never working is true.. like it’s the equivalent of sending the CEO of Coca-Cola and the CEO of Pepsi to meet but one has to admit the other one is actually better like it’s just not gonna work 😂
1:06:52 Bruce explains why Texas and the Royal Rumble go together lol
I disagree, John's music was great. It was essentially Hacksaws theme but just a bit slower. I think it's cool when a favorite doesn't win, it's all so predictable now. I miss the golden era of WWF, it was the absolute best.
Here's switching Jersey's 🤣🤣🤣

Meltzer is the worst; saying Rudes body/build is nothing special just topped the list of reasons why no one should take him seriously passing up giving Hogan v Andre like no stars
I'm glad the Rumble was financially successful, but the men's match was the worst in the history of the event.
I would love to hear how the order is determined/why, etc, in one of these Royal Rumble episodes
Storylines and getting people over
Is there a STW 372? I'm not finding it for some reason?
Someone please explain to me the numbering on these episodes. A month ago we jumped from the 350s to the 360s, last week was number 356 and now this week its in the 370s. Are these numbers picked randomly?
Maybe Big John was having an off day? 450lbs is a lot for an average guy to deadlift but I'd have to think it'd be easy for him with those long arms and massive body. I always heard he was a keen lifter too. Maybe he was in great gym shape but his injuries had wrecked his strength. He slammed Akeem easily enough in a match around this time and I have to think he could've easily slammed Andre too, if Andre didn't hate him.
Anybody know when they’re doing royal rumble 1993 or did they already do it???
Four years listening and I still can't get a question asked to Bruce.. how does this work? Where do I send the cheque?? 🤷♂️
What is your burning question?
Nothing against Ronnie Garvin but i wouldn't say he's a attraction.
Conrad:what a small World the Wrestling World can be at times..Bruce:and it gets smaller every day..yap nothing to learn there...
Starts at 4:01 (and what's up with Conrad always misspeaking about years? "Of course we're coming off the heels of the very first Survivor Series 1998..." lol Seriously, he does it a LOT)
As a dude that hates wrestling these days, the Royal Rumble was so good!
I was an 80s kid who checked out at the end of attitude….but Was the Logan Paul clip of jumping off the ropes for a double clothes line this Rumble? That was one of single best moves i’ve seen
@@Compassiron1 Yes! And it was exciting as fck. Im just like you; 80s fan, checked out after Attitude.
The end of this Rumble injected a little “Attitude”.
I urge you to take some time and watch it.
@@HereIsWisdom1318 awesome stuff. Thanks. I got the network so will check it out!
@@Compassiron1 Did you ever watch it?
The regal rumble.
When Dusty left Turner already owned the company.
Dusty got fired because of the blood thing.
Bruce, had it not occurred to you why Barry Horrowitz was cheap? What was that "jobber" contact like?
Dammit Bruce where was this pre-Rumble
Someone's a VinWiki fan.
the royal with cheese.
Oh man!... The 89 Heenan Family was so good....... Rude, Andre, Tully Arn, Haku.......... (F'k Brawler & Rooster obv.)
Pruce Brichard
Can I ask Bruce will brother love ever appear on TV again
He will be the one to defeat Roman reigns and win both belts brother love vs Roman at WrestleMania
So we're talking about the second Rumble in 89 not the first one in 88? I'm lost...
Know what you mean. They mixed the RR origin story a bit with ‘89… there is a separate ep. On 88 one which is great. 89 was ‘the first PPV rumble’
First rumble on pay-per-view
Yea that was weird. They discussed the origin of the 88 Rumble and then discussed the 89 Rumble without really explaining they were two different shows. Very odd way to do it.
All these different managers helping get people over who weren't good talkers. Why don't we have more managers in the WWE?
Conrad did all that complementing to try to get Bruce to say a single syllable about the bloodline and Bruce says "you're a royal rumble record"
Bruce is too rich for a podcast... He doesn't care if it's good or not
This pod used to be for the marks now they act like it's being consumed by the casuals.
Then don’t listen. It’s still very entertaining. He can’t comment on current stuff because of his job. It’s not hard to understand.
Garvin was anticlimactic in WWF. Didn't feel it. I Loooooooove Youuuuuuu. Dom Deluise had a bigger member than Lanny Poffo. Thank you for the sex guys, go bluechew.
Without a doubt, DiBiase should have won this Rumble........
Paul had Houston but not a territory.
Big John Studd went on to bigger and better things. He became a massive Hollywood star after his critically acclaimed performance in "Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man".
That movie kicks ass
I was thrilled when big John studd won as were many people I knew. So I completely disagree
I November watch Royal Rumble 1989 won by Big John Studd, who last eliminated The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase.
N.
All these adverts are interrupted by a small amount of wrestling talk
Piper touched you. Can't recall who did it first
1:14:00 Who would have guessed someone with the last name Horowitz would be extremely cheap
Hey Conrad....how bout you save me some money by reimbursing me for my RUclips premium account which I specifically purchased so I could listen to Bruce with out all the advertisement interruptions
3:00 to skip the aweful plug
Poor bruce with the archaic view of not possible for companies work together, meanwhile new japan has been doing that for years with ring of honor and now aew. While aew and impact also worked together. Need to get with the times bruce, this ain't the 80s and 90s no more
Kurt Angle said that Hogan told HIM that he could not feel his legs anymore so it wasn't "rumor" made up by anybody. It was just Hogan doing Hogan-stuff.
He may have a measure of permanent numbness in his legs which is certainly believable and quantifiable, but with Hogan you know he always has to stretch the truth beyond what it needs to be.
Hernias are caused by straining too hard. I've had 3 throughout my life so I'm kinda knowledgeable. I'll still don't understand how Harley falling on that table caused a hernia
Because you are straining when you fall. Except most would call it bracing.
Shane McMahon got an umbilical hernia when he jumped off the cell and landed on the announcer’s table at Mania 32. I assume the same thing happened to Race.
You’ve done so much damage to this industry
This one one of the worst researched shows to date. The first RR was in 1988. That was the answer to Bunkhouse Stampede. I mean these are basic facts most semi-wresting fans know. The 1989 Royal Rumble was the first one on PPV. Smh.
