The 1989 WWE Royal Rumble was the second annual Royal Rumble professional wrestling event produced by the World Wrestling Federation, and the first one to be held on pay-per-view. It took place on January 15, 1989 at The Summit in Houston, Texas. The main event was the 1989 Royal Rumble match won by Big John Studd, who last eliminated Ted DiBiase to win the match. Featured matches on the undercard were Jim Duggan and The Hart Foundation versus Dino Bravo and The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers, Rockin' Robin versus Judy Martin for the WWE Women's Championship and "King" Haku versus Harley Race.

This would only be fun for those who (like myself) still miss the "rock-and-wrestling" cartoon-ish days of WWF glory. There was so much goofy stuff, goofy characters, silly storylines, etc that it - today - is almost hard to watch. Back then, however, it was a lot of fun and it was easy to overlook all the goofy hype and overkill. Some of these characters were essentially a "one-hit wonder" in the WWF, as they made a brief appearance and then vanished from the scene. Others hung around for literally decades and definitely left their mark on the world of professional wrestling. Many (if not most) of these are sadly either already deceased or well into retirement and/or disability. For those of us who still like to recall the days when pro wrestling was "fun", this is a neat experience.
Aside from the women’s title match, everything else is pretty entertaining. Well, minus the final portion of the Rumble. It advanced the Mega Powers tension and made a big star out of Studd. Oh, wait. But in all seriousness, it was a fine show.
