I graded the pre-match Royal Rumble 1990 promos

Inspired by my latest rewatch of Royal Rumble 1990, I decided to grade the pre-match promos from the show for my latest blog post: fromtheringapron.tumblr.com/post/182311072177/the-pre-rumble-promo-report-card-the-1990-edition

I didn't include the Ted DiBiase, Mr. Perfect, and Heenan family interviews because those take on a different context with Mean Gene asking them questions. They need to do something like this again. It did so much good in getting characters over to the audience.

Jake's is the best by miles (at all of the Rumbles in fact), but I do like the Harts, Macho Man telling everyone to watch him, Shawn Michaels casually throwing shade on Marty Jannetty's chances, and Dusty: "I don't care if you in there when I get there, I don't care if I have to go all night long, I'm gonna get you Randy Savage!"

Also, Hercules. Rumble royals, finger pointing, "you better listen real good!", slips into mock Irish accent at one point. One of my all time favourite shit promos.

And yes I would be down for an Explain Hercules' Character column.

I kinda want to rank the fan’s Rumble picks from that segment on the Coliseum Video version.

That toothless woman who loves Jake Roberts is an icon.

Jake The Snake's promo was the best one.

But for Jake, that's Tuesday.
