WWE ROYAL RUMBLE 1999 FULL
I am officially giving them credit for the full match, but I did time their absences as well.
In each of these four cases, I simply took the midpoint of the given time interval endpoints as the official time that I would use for each of these events.ĭetermining the survival time for Austin and McMahon was also a bit troublesome, as they each disappeared for more than half of the match duration. So it is hard to know exactly when he stepped foot into the ring to start his survival time. The camera cut back to Vince during Shamrock's entrance and Shamrock was not shown on camera again until 13 seconds later, at which point he had already walked across the entire ring.
Towards the middle of the match Vince McMahon returned to an empty ring, only to see Ken Shamrock walk out as the next entrant. Therefore his survival time can't be determined very accurately. The lights were out for 22 seconds, so Mabel could have been eliminated at any time in that interval. When the lights came back on, Mabel was already on the outside of the ring and officially eliminated from the match due to an attack from Undertaker's minions. The lights went out at one point and Undertaker's music began playing. Once again, his exact starting time in the match is unknown due to this occurrence. This lasted for 33 seconds before they finally showed the ring again, and Singh was already battling it out with other superstars. But early on during his entrance the camera once again ditched the action in the arena to show Stone Cold's situation backstage. Tiger Ali Singh was the 9th entrant into the match. By the time the ring was shown again, Droz was just hanging out in the far corner by himself, as he was the only man in the ring. But right as the buzzer went off for Droz's entrance to begin, the camera was focused on the backstage area for the next 24 seconds, so it is really hard to know at what exact point Droz stepped into the ring to officially begin his survival time. Droz was the 4th entrant into the match. As a result there were 4 important events that could not be properly timed. The consequences of that ambush resulted in both Austin and McMahon disappearing for large chunks of the match, as well as the camera focusing on what was happening backstage to Austin rather than what was going on in the ring. The main story early on revolved around Austin being lured into a trap in the women's bathroom. The timing of this match was a nightmare. McMahon claim victory after eliminating Stone Cold Steve Austin from the ring. McMahon opened and closed the match together. This match is generally regarded as one of the worst Royal Rumble matches in history. The 1999 Royal Rumble match lasted 56 minutes and 38 seconds (56m 38s).
