One of the worst Rumbles ever. The crowd was dead throughout most of that match.

That period of Jan 97 - May 97 for WWF was brutal.

The roster was crazy thin...the end of the rumble isokay but the first half :goldusure:

TERRY FUNK got no response IN TEXAS

Bret hart starting to heel it up at the end though was gold

wcw took majority of the wwf's roster at this point

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

JR - That's the Latin Lover!
Vince - It certainly is...

 

[CJ]

One of the WOAT. Only StoneGOAT and HitGOAT saved that. Austin's reaction when Bret's theme hits

Good finish though which set up that Fatal Fourway the following month and Bret's eventual heel run.

Was this around the time Russo became the head writer?

Maybe but he couldntve saved this considering how shyt the roster was...digging into AAA roster for royal rumble

That aint good.

Hell the booking for this at the end was actually good....clearly placed taker, austin, bret hart, and hbk upon his return at the top of the card..and furthered the ahmed/nation beef.

the RR was before Russo took over. I believe he got the gig around May/April of 97. It was right after that historically bad Raw in Kuwait.

South Africa, no?

Looks like you're mostly right and Im a little bit right. Most of the show was simulcast from South Africa, but there was one segment on the show from Kuwait where Bret shot an interview from, supposedly, but he was just in a room the whole time.
