5 greatest Royal Rumble moments

#3 The stalemate

The show of respect

In 1994, Lex Luger was as patriotic as they came, wearing star-spangled trunks and possessing a hearty American attitude. Bret Hart, on the other hand, carved a niche for himself as the workhorse of the WWE, gaining appreciation from fans and critics around the world.

Both men, Hart in particular, became fan favourites and their double elimination at the 1994 Royal Rumble was easily one of the landmark moments of the event. The spot with two final contenders hitting the floor at the same time was executed for the first time and it would not be replicated until more than a decade later in 2005, when John Cena and Batista end up eliminating each other, though this was actually an accident.

I believe that a moment like this deserves recognition for its history-making value. However, if you were to tell me that Luger and Hart deserved to be co-winners, I would respectfully disagree. Even when the referees started arguing about who the winner was, it was clear that the crowd in Providence, Rhode Island was rooting for The Hitman.
