This is the show that set the stage for one of the best Wrestlemanias ever, Wrestlemania X. Going into the Rumble, Lex Luger was considered the favorite to win. Luger had defeated Yokozuna via countout at Summerslam '93 but was never granted a rematch because of a clause in the contract that Jim Cornette had weaseled in on behalf of Yokozuna. But the winner of the Royal Rumble Match automatically gets a shot at the WWF Champion at Wrestlemania whomever he may be, and that would override Cornette's stipulation. As a result, this is Luger's only chance at earning a shot at Yokozuna's WWF Title.The Royal Rumble Match ends at : 55:32. **** One official thinks Luger has won it, another things Bret has. The announcers are split as well. Nobody knows who the winner is. After announcing Luger as the sole winner, then Bret (who got a much bigger pop), Howard Finkel announces that Lex Luger and Bret Hart are co-winners of the 1994 Royal Rumble. Both are disappointed, but shake hands. The Wrestlemania theme plays, and the Royal Rumble ends without a clearcut #1 contender for Yokozuna's WWF Title for Wrestlemania X.One of the best WWF Royal Rumbles ever and a great lead in to Wrestlemania X another great EVENT!

After the mediocre 1993 Royal Rumble, it was great to see a return to form for what has long been one of the WWF's favourite events.The undercard was pretty spectacular. Tatanka had a reasonable match with Bam Bam Bigelow. Razor Ramon also had a decent match with the taxman Irwin R. Schyster.Also on the undercard was The Undertaker VS the late Yokosuna in a WWF Title Casket Match (get your opponent in the casket to win). This was a good match memorable for about a dozen wrestlers interfering at the end.The most memorable undercard match pitted Bret Hart and his late brother Owen Hart against WWF Tag Team Champions The Quebecers. This wasn't the greatest match ever but it set the ball rolling for the Bret Hart/Owen Hart feud which I still rate as one of the best feuds ever (Bret VS Owen at WrestleMania X was awesome).Then we had the Rumble where for the second year in a row, the winner would receive a title shot at the following WrestleMania. It was quite a memorable Rumble in many ways; rising superstar Diesel eliminated the competition, heel Shawn Michaels acted like a coward for most of the match and the competition really got hot towards the end. As for the ending itself, it was bizarre because two wrestlers won the Rumble (they were Bret Hart and Lex Luger).Classic WWF shows like this have been deleted on video/DVD due to the 2002 court ruling brought by the World Wildlife Fund against what is now World Wrestling Entertainment. However, if you can, do try and track this cracking event down.

People usually say things like the 1992, 1995, or 1997 Rumbles are the best, but Royal Rumble 1994 always comes to mind as the best Royal Rumble ever. It serves at the starting point for one of the most bitter feuds in World Wrestling Federation history; Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart. The incident with the Undertaker is cheesy and supernatural, but this is sports entertainment dammit! The events leading up to his "death" (10 superstars interfering in the match) is pretty cool which is revisted in 1998, and the most controversial finish of the Royal Rumble takes place here when Bret hart and Lex Luger and eliminated simultaneously thus having co-winners of the Rumble (which means double main event at WrestleMania X)!10/10

An event full of twists and turns. Owen Hart turns on his brother during their attempt to capture the tag team titles. The Hitman fights off a bad knee to limp to the ring and win the 30 match Royal Rumble. Great event - with the Undertaker involved in a casket match with Yokozuna and the Bad Guy Razor Ramon defending the Intercontinental Title against IRS.
