This week on the Grenade #112, it's the inaugural ROYAL RUMBLE event as aired on the USA Network! We head back to January 24, 1988 and take a look at the first-ever 20-Man Royal Rumble match featuring the likes of "Hacksaw" Duggan, "King" Harley Race, The Hart Foundation, Tito Santana, The Junkyard Dog, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, One Man Gang, "Rock" Don Muraco, Butch Reed, The Ultimate Warrior, & many more! Plus, it's the official contract signing between WWF Champion Hulk Hogan & Andre the Giant for their WrestleMania 3 Rematch at "The Main Event". The Glamour Girls defend their Women's Tag Titles vs. The Jumping Bomb Angels. Rick Rude takes on Ricky Steamboat, The Islanders vs. The Young Stallions, and Dino Bravo attempts to break the World Bench Press Record. All of that, plus Ray breaks down the change in the announce team, the Rumble running against the Bunkhouse Stampede, TV ratings for the event, and so much more! A very insightful and entertaining piece on the 1988 ROYAL RUMBLE!
