Notes: 

1.     This was the first Royal Rumble in which the winner (Hulk Hogan) would receive a shot at the WWF Champion (Sgt. Slaughter) at WrestleMania XII.

2.     Ric Flair was awarded the vacant WWF Title after his Royal Rumble Victory

3.     Both Bret Hart and Lex Luger’s feet touched the ground at the same time.  Therefore, they were both declared winners, and both received a title shot (vs. Yokozuna) at WrestleMania X.

4.     Shawn Michaels drew #1 and won the Royal Rumble.  This has never been repeated.

5.     Austin was eliminated, but the referees did not see it.  He went back in the ring and eliminated Bret Hart.  The last 4 members (Austin, Hart, The Undertaker, & Vader) were placed in a 4-way match at IYH: Final Four.  Bret Hart won this and the vacant WWF Championship.  Psycho Sid defeated Hart for the title on Raw.  The Undertaker went on to face Sid for the WWF title at WrestleMania 13.

6.     Although Vince McMahon won the Royal Rumble he did not want to face his “corporate champion” The Rock so he withdrew his Royal Rumble victory.  Commissioner Shawn Michaels ruled that the runner up, Steve Austin would face the Rock for the WWF title at WrestleMania 15.

7.     The Rock clearly and fairly won the Royal Rumble but the Big Show complained that he had eliminated the Rock.  The WWF rules committee decided to make the match a Triple Threat match between The Rock (w/ Vince McMahon), The Big Show (w/ Shane McMahon), & Triple H (w/ Stephanie McMahon).  The Raw before WrestleMania Linda McMahon entered the retired Mick Foley into the match to represent her, in the now 4-way match at WrestleMania 2000.
