BONUS: WWF Royal Rumble 1988 (ft. Jacob Grondy from Curtain Jerkin')

Main Event Marks

It's bonus show time again, and Jacob Grondy, from Curtain Jerkin' on WrestlingWithWrestling.com is back! It was the first official Royal Rumble in WWE history. It was on USA Network; not on pay-per-view, the Royal Rumble match was a 20-man match, and it was made entirely to counter-program the NWA's Bunkhouse Stampede pay-per-view. The Rumble match wasn't even the marquee thing at the event; Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant's contract signing for the WWF Title match at Saturday Night's Main Event was THE big segment on the show. On top of this, the show was held in Ontario, Canada while half the roster was in British Columbia on the other side of the country, holding a house show. Get a deep dive into this moment in history, 33 years ago!SPONSORED BY: FuboTV (fubo.tv/welcome?irad=34) and Fanatics (http://fanatics.ncw6.net/jxzKM)LISTEN EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 8PM EST: unhingedsn.com/FOLLOW US ON TWITTER & INSTAGRAM: @MainEvent_MarksFOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: facebook.com/maineventmarkspodFOLLOW JACOB ON TWITTER: @JGProWrestlingSEARCH FOR US ON YOUTUBE AT: Main Event Marks
