1988 Royal Rumble-5 Entrants Remain

[MasonK565]

And Ultimate Warrior is pumped! He is shaking the ropes! But oh no! Muraco and Hillbilly Jim are trying to eliminate him! Ultimate Warrior is teetering on the edge of despair! But One Man Gang comes from behind and eliminates both Muraco and Hillbilly Jim over Ultimate Warrior as he hangs on the ropes! Both are eliminated! Hillbilly Jim hit the floor first as Muraco lands on him. Warrior comes back and picks a fight with One Man Gang! Duggan is working on Roberts as JYD is resting in the corner observing the playing field! 5 men are left!

I would like to see Roberts either win or Runner-Up. I see JYD as the sleeper out of the men remaining.

We still have plenty of time left to vote! Anyone could still be eliminated?! Could we get another tie?

That's what I'm hoping for either Roberts winning or at least being Runner Up

I voted to rewrite the history books and vote Duggan out.

That's what I've been doing the last few days nothing against Duggan I just don't want to see the same person win that won in real life in 89 I'll vote out Studd, 90 & 91 I'll vote out Hogan, 92 I'll vote out Flair (though I wont vote him out right away I'll try and save him for the end) 93 I'll vote out Yoko in 94 I don't know since both Bret & Luger both won we'll just have to see how that one goes.

That's how I plan on using my votes for future Rumbles even though some of the original winners was the right way to go in real life (Flair in 92, Michaels in 96, Austin in 98, etc...) but I like to go a different route.

I think there should be an added bonus after the Rumble with the winner getting a shot at the WWE/WWF Championship at Wrestlemania (Against whoever the champion was at the time) we could have an extra poll up after the Rumble with the winner facing the champion and who gets the most votes determining who wins even though the first few Rumbles didn't get a shot at the title for winning it would be a nice bonus to decide who would win the title, we could do that every year except 92 since the title was on the line in that Rumble.

That might be difficult with 88 since the title was vacant at Wrestlemania but I think that would be a good move for later Rumbles.

MasonK565 if you don't want to do that I could it myself as a side feature.
