After debuting in the WWE in late 1989, Earthquake was quickly put to the top of the card feuding with headline star and WWF Champion Hulk Hogan. The two faced each other in a series of matches in 1990, culminating at Summerslam with Hogan victorious over his bigger nemesis.

A few months later, Earthquake enters his second Royal Rumble match, this time as the 22nd entry. Earthquake would eliminate a series of wrestlers, including Animal, Tito Santana, Bushwhacker Luke, and the British Bulldog, making it all the way to the final 2 wrestlers left in the Royal Rumble. Across the ring from the giant Canadian wrestler was former rival Hulk Hogan.

The two would go at it with Hogan eventually eliminating the giant Earthquake, with Earthquake clocking a final Royal Rumble time of 24 minutes and 42 seconds.
