2017 marked the first Royal Rumble I attended. I'm not much of a traveler -- a lot of my work I can do remotely. It's always been a bucket list item, however, so I jumped at the opportunity to🦹 go. To prepare, I re-watched every Royal Rumble event, and used the #RetroRumble hashtag (originally #RumbleRetro). I'll be bringing you these in installments of every ten years, with links to additional series. Enjoy, we'll be reposting these annually.

1988 and 1989: The Nothing Happenin' Dark Ages

Th🅰is didn't main event. The Islanders vs. Young Sta🌄llions did. Wow 88
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Tito Santana, Hart Foundation and Jake Roberts early. Already blows 2012 out𝔍 of the waterಞ 88
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

It is so weird 𓂃to h🔯ear the crowd go wild at a SAM HOUSTON/DANNY DAVIS exchange 88
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Danny Davis was TINY by 1988 WWF standards
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Hillbilly Jim was a specimen. Geez 88
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

People have said Duggan didn't get anything for winning this, but he got a couple of booꩵkings down the line from it 88
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

De𝐆molition battling against each other helped establish the point of the match, but made them look like fools 89
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Demoliti𝓀on, Andre, Perfec🐎t, Jake. Another more star studded in the first 7 entrants than 2012 89
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Shew, Bossman was in horrible shapജe in ওthe 89 Rumble
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Bos꧅sman 🀅also used to hit the ropes like he wanted to break the ring
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Good god✅, Hogan was working SNUG. Then Bossman hits a FREAKING PILEDRIꦇVER!?! 89
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

The Twin Towers eliminate Hogan. Of course he throws a fit and pulls out Bossman. SCUMMY BAB🔯YFACE 89
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Studd wins. 89
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

1990-1991: Hulk Hogan Runs Wild

Babyfaces w🔥ere real bitches when they got eliminated 90
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

We need more fac💫eoffs like Hogan/Warrior. But that requires super over people 90
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Hogan's elimination of Mr. Perfe🤪ct was RECKLESS 𝓡90
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Hulk Hogan was a scummy in ring babyface
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

💯The ridiculou🍨s steroid usage from some of the competitors makes my heart hurt 91
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

People talk about lack of psychology today. Hogan had some terrible babyface and Ru🅘mble psychology 91
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Undertaker even seemed li𒁃ke a star 2 months in 91
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Everybody took badass bumps over the♎ top rope back in the day 91
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Hogan's back-to-back Rumble wins shouldn't have happened, but no numℱber one contender rule in 1990 90-91
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

1992: Ric Flair shines

It's w✤e🙈ird to think Brian Knobbs was ever 26 years old, much less in this match 91
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

I've finally reached the 1992 Rumble :) 92
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Ric Flair's music-less entrance at the 92 Rumble is one of my favorites ever. A look of poise on his fa🌺ce. Iconic 92
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

God, there was a lot of racism on commentary back in ♒the day ไ 92
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Heenan's commentary was such a ꧋big part of Flair's performance. He made #3 seem ev꧃en more hopeless 92
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

God, there was a lot of racism on commenta🐈🀅ry back in the day 92
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

"Shawn Michaels is face down in the middle of the ring, not the place🧜 to be." That's not a terrible place to be in a Rumble 92
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

It's so refreshing to have Heenan on color commentary instead of Ventur💮a or Piper 92
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

I love Undertaker's old gear. 92
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

I wish they'd go back to the old rule of having to be eliminated by yourself or someo🐻ne active in the match 92
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

The Berzerker was a giant, less talented, crappy working version of WrestleMania 30 Daniel Bryan. Just look 92
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Colonel Mustafa. Hoo boy 92
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Hogan el𝓀iminated Taker. Wond🌳er who made that call 92
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

The end of the match makes Hogan look like such a ꩵdick. Imagine how crowds would reject him tꦑoday like that 92
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

And Flair𓃲 can't have his moment. G🅰otta be Hogan/Sid 92
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

1993-1994: The New Generation

Backlund and Flair starting is pretty sweet 93
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Three hall o🃏f famers st💃art off. Ric Flair, Bob Backlund...........Papa Shango 93

— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Oh damn. Earthquake/Yoko faceoff 93
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Imagine a guy Smash's level turning into a Repo Ma💞n tod🍌ay 93
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Whoever came up with Savage 🐎pinniꦅng Yoko should be smacked 93
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

If the Steiners really entered at numbers 1 🦹and 3, they'd also end up being the la♏st two in the ring 94
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Bart Gunn, Savio Veg🃏a and Scott Steiner in the ring. A few BILLYS 94
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Diesel power.....and pooor Bob Backlund 94

— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

I remember when Luna was the only female charact꧑er on the WWF game. ꩵ94
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Diesel, Mabel, Bam Bam, Cru🥀sh. Nash is the only one still with us :( 94
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Man Kabuki looked like shit here 94
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

What's the most people in the rumble at once? Ther✤e's 12 right now 94
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Jannetty and HBK slugging it out! 94
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Adam Bomb looks like Ellis from Die Hard didn't die, he just stayed in Nakatomi fueling up on coke and roids and emeᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚrged 94

Bam Bam's elimination was cool 94
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Weak finish 94
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

The crowd HATED that finish 94
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

1995: HBK Coast To Coast

Bulldog and HBK starting 1 and 2 and ꦉlasting set the stage for future Rumbles 95
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

I'm glad Rumb🐽le psycho♓logy has improved. A press slam has to lead to an elimination 95
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Duke "The Dumpster" Droese wa𒉰s 24 in this ♛Rumble 95
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

These 🎶entrants were rapid fire. What did you all think about it? 95
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

HBK and Bulldog just start chucking fools 95
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Man, the WWE midcard was trash in 95 95
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Why would Lex Luger save HBK from eli♚mination? Weird 95
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Why would Lex Luger save HBK from eliminat🅠ion? Weird 95
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Damn. Henry🍬 Godwinn's elimination scare was solid 95
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

I wonder what would have been of Crush 𝔍ha📖d he not been arrested in 1995 95
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

The Crush elimination w𝔍as set up really, really well 95
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

The three HBK elimination teases at the end of the Rumble were coo♚l 🍌 95
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

93 ended with a guy trying t🦩o pin, 94 with a double winner, 95 with a swerve. 95
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

1996: HBK Dominance Continues

Why'd theyꦇ have to dub over Henry🥃 Godwinn's music? 96
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

That slop bucket.....egh 95
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

The Rumble 96 snake was ridiculous 96
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

What the fuck is a Squat Team? 96
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

T♔his is probably the most st𓄧ar studded Rumble since 92 96
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

They need to bring b🍨ack the rule that people not active in the Ru💝mble can't eliminate people 96
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

Like a dozen guys in this Royal Rumble were✤n't in the company or wrestli🎃ng six months later 96
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

I had ♏forgotteꦓn Lawler was under the ring, lol. 96
— Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp)

I'll bet Horowitz and Michaels cou🤡ld have had a hell of a 20 minuteꦚ match 96

Marty Jannetty was my favor♎ite wrestler as a kid 9🅠6
