#1 Randy Savage [--] (11-3-0) (WWF)(World Heavyweight Champion)
Densely packed multi-man matches have been key to elevating WWF stars to the upper ranks of the Pay-Per-View Players countdown. The annual 30-man Royal Rumble plays it both ways, delivering a guaranteed mass of humanity in the main event, but affording only one victory between them. In 1989 the winner would be Big John Studd -- the #27 entrant who outlasted a massive list that included Top 2 Mega Powers: Randy Savage & Hulk Hogan!
The share of defeat offers some default elevation to a couple of names in the Top 10. Davey Boy Smith joins his partner thanks to Brutus Beefcake's unsuccessful Rumble participation. NWA mainstay Dusty Rhodes benefits from the #1 elimination: Smash. Singles stars weren't the only ones benefitting from Demolition's participation in the Rumble! Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart emerge from a 6-man best 2 of 3 falls tag match to forge a foundation in the tag team Top 3!
With the blokes busy tossing each other over the top rope -- the women return to WWF pay-per-view! Rockin' Robin enjoyed a successful defense of the WWF Women's Championship against Judy Martin. Will the NWA finally fire back in the lady's division? Or will tag team supremacy be theirs once again? Chi-Town Rumble is coming in February!
