I recently got the WWE Royal Rumble anthology a few weeks back and have been watching through them all. While watching the 1993 Royal Rumble I pondered a question that maybe one of my fellow Fannies could help answer.
Does anyone know who portrayed Caesar and/or Cleopatra before the Royal Rumble match? I tried looking on Google and couldn't come up with an answer. So now I turn to you, faithful reader, to answer mu question.
By the way, this isn't for anything important. I was just curious about this bit of trivia.

It was really Caesar and Cleopatra, Vince owns a time machine Shame he doesn't use it anymore. He really put himself off it after trying to save the tag division in 1995 by getting a team from the future and ending up with Tekno Team 2000. |

It was really Caesar and Cleopatra, Vince owns a time machine Actually, that was the real Cleopatra, but it was Caesar's body-double. It was originally supposed to be the actual Caesar, but Caesar pulled out of the appearance at the last minute, citing security concerns. It must be said that Caesar's double did bare a striking resemblance to Caesar and it is said that only Caesar's closest confidants were able to tell the difference. Anyway, most people close to the situation say that WWE's time machine has had a major malfunction and has not been operational for many years. Supposedly they wanted to have Clark Gable, Judy Garland, and Marilyn Monroe at WrestleMania 21 for 'WrestleMania Goes Hollywood,' but they couldn't get the time machine to work. |

Caesar should just be glad Brutus Beefcake didn't stab him in the back.

Fun fact: Jim Neidhart helped build the time machine. In fact, the Who gimmick from 96 was going to be a doctor who gimmick in honor of jim's involvement, but they couldnt find a trenchcoat in time.

He gave it to Edge & Christian, that story line in SvR 2011 was actually what happened backstage & why Edge retired & Christian's "injured", they're both off time travelling! |

On a serious note, wasn't it because WrestleMania that year was going to be Roman themed?

I would so totally watch the Time Traveling Adventures of Edge and Christian!!! BTW, maybe they used the time machine to get John Cena's spaceship a few years ago. And yes, Caesar and Cleopatra were used for the Wrestlemania IX Roman theme (not that that was the OP's question, although none of us are really doing a good job of answering that anyway). But yeah, I have no idea who they were. Maybe just some random hired performers. |

I've only been out of my hometown once in my entire life. I last watched the 1993 Royal Rumble in 1993. I'm sheltered. Have mercy.  |

That last string of posts is the best non-Photoshop back-and-forth I've seen on this forum.

Even as a ten year old, I noticed Cleopatra's boobs were much, much, much larger at Mania than at Rumble. Assuming it was even the same chick.
