Reversing the Rumble Entrants and the Resulting Winners

[BigJerichool222]

Inspired by the WATCHING RUMBLES IN REVERSE thread, I did all this on another forum, but thought it'd be cool to share here, too. Basically this is what would happen if you flipped the entrants of the rumbles (#30 is now #1, #29 now #2, etc) and the results of those rumbles. The winning spots remain the same; 2004 winner is still #1, 2007 is still #30, etc. Runners-up, too.

1988: Sam Houston eliminates Tito Santana to win.
1989: Mr. Perfect eliminates Ax to win.
1990: Roddy Piper eliminates Ted DiBiase to win.
1991: Saba Simba eliminates Jake Roberts to win.
1992: Sgt. Slaughter eliminates Ted DiBiase to win the WWF Championship.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

I would totally rewatch 2010, 2011, and 2012.

JBL and HHH would have tore Puder a new asshole

[SkullTrauma]

95 and 96 are literally dream scenarios for me. 97 would be cool too

Wouldn't Khali be the runner-up in 2014 instead of Reigns?
