On this weeke's Lawcast Classic, we're flashing back to our show covering the 1997 Royal Rumble. This is a show with a fascinating story from a business perspective, as Vince McMahon decided to run a stadium during a weak period for their business. Complicating matters, the stadium was in San Antonio, which was not an especially strong market for the WWF. Yet somehow they managed to draw over 60,000 people to the Alamo Dome, a remarkable feat. This is the story of how they pulled that off.
In front of the camera, we've got San Antonio's own Shawn Michaels challenging Sycho Sid for the WWF Championship. We've got The Undertaker against Vader, Hunter Hearst Helmsley against Goldust, and of course the Royal Rumble Match!
