Questions[edit]

Wasn't it Ric Flair, not Jerry "The King" Lawler, who helped eliminate Mr. Perfect from the outside after being eliminated by him? Didn't Lawler hide when Giant Gonzales came out?

How come more isn't said about Giant Gonzales and The Undertaker? And what happened to Bob Backlund during this time?

And what was the deal with Typhoon and Earthquake going after each other?

Answers[edit]

Ric Flair was long gone by the time that Mr. Perfect was eliminated. It was Lawler who helped eliminate Perfect from the outside. Damien Demento and I.R.S. did not get into the ring while the GIant Gonzalez was still there. Lawler was long gone by the time Gonzales made his appearance.

Bob Backlund was lying on the outside after being struck by the Berzerker with a chair and being bodyslammed on the concrete during the whole Gonzalez incident.

I suppose that the Earthquake going after Typhoon was upon the instructions of someone backstage just to liven up the crowd (the crowd was pretty dead by that point in the match) 70.73.26.231 00:35, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yokozuna vs. Hogan - who holds the record?[edit]

Hogan may very well hold the record. Is there a reliable source for him exceeding Yokozuna's number of eliminations? Thesportster isn't a reliable source. You posted a link to a Royal Rumble (a legitimate link, as it is from the official WWE account), but it appears to be from 1992, and you are stating that Hogan's record is from 1989. Can you offer a source to prove your statement? I don't claim that Yokozuna holds the record, but that statement should stay (because it is cited to a reliable source) until a reliable source states otherwise. As for the redundancy comment, I was referring to the "singles match" statement being repeated in the results table--it is included multiple times to ensure that it will be in the top result regardless of how the table is sorted.
