And here we get another bonus Royal Rumble which featured members of the Corporation and D-Generation X to get the coveted number 30 spot, which was meant to be a plus but nobody had won from this spot by this point. I'll talk more about 98 and 99 product better in the actual 99 write up, but the commentators are Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler joined by Shane McMahon.
#1 is Corporate member KEN SHAMROCK, wearing a Raw is War t-shirt and trousers and #2 is BILLY GUNN, Shamrock jumps over the top rope to get Billy Gunn - Randy Savage would be proud of this - and he continues to beat on Billy, as Shane screams from the commentary booth, Shamrock is still beating on Billy Gunn, as #3 Corporation member BIG BOSS MAN who had returned to the company in later 98 and rather than be a policeman he is dressed like s S.W.A.T team member, Shamrock as finally buggered off, #4 is The New Age Outlaws music but it's TEST, another Corporate member and is backstory was that he was a roadie for Motley Crew, #5 is X-PAC of DX, he returned the night after Wrestlemania and was formerly the 123 Kid and was Syxx in wCw, and Test sends out Billy Gunn in impressive fashion, and it's still 2 on 1 in favour of the Corporation, #6 is actually now ROAD DOGG JESSE JAMES stained in blood (from the Brood earlier in the night), #7 is KANE who was part of the Corporation at this time and was an odd choice for the group (years later he would be part of the Authority in slacks) and he sends out Road Dogg, #8 is TRIPLE H, who is said to be the last participation in this Rumble, Kane holds Triple H for Test to kick but H moves and that pisses of Kane who eliminates Test, and then Kane is gone, we are left now tih H and Big Boss Man. The horn goes off and we have another participant and it's #9 VINCE MCMAHON, accompanied by Pat and Gerald, and Triple H is future Son in Law is distracted by him as Vince comes in and eliminates both Triple H and Big Boss Man and we have a winner with no music, Boss Man gives the thumbs up as he tears his shirt like Hogan and the buzzer goes off and we have one more participant and it's #10 CHYNA, they said it was open to all Corporation and DX members that did especially say they all had to be male. Gerald and Pat try to stop her getting in the ring but she punches them out, Steve Austin then comes out and distacts Vince, and he is thrown out by Chyna. Your winner of the only Corporate Rumble is Chyna.
You know what this is actually an enjoyable mini-Rumble, there was something at stake and at the time the winner was a genuine surprise, so yeah it's worth checking out in your Rumble completion.
