I and many other wrestling fans agree that the worst Royal Rumble was that in 1999, which suffered from bad booking. Almost all of the popular and upper-card wrestlers were saved for the last third, resulting in barely any major starts for the first half of the match. There was also too much nonsense going on with an abduction, Austin being put in an ambulance only to return later, Vince McMahon winning, etc. I've decided to write a better version of 1999 Royal Rumble match with the following guidelines
Changes
Better Distribution of upper-midcarders and main-eventers
Vince McMahon doesn't win
No goofy run-ins or incidents
Better final four
Rules
Use the same line-up (admittedly not putting the Undertaker in)
Austin and McMahon must start the match
Chyna must be the final entrant
90 second intervals
Provide Statistics at end
Background
Steve Austin and Vince McMahon are forced to enter at #1 and #2 respectively. McMahon has posted a hundred thousand dollar bounty on Austin. Whoever eliminates him will collect it.
Chyna has won a Corporate Rumble, earning the coveted #30 spot.
Ongoing feuds are Dan Severn vs. Steve Blackman, DX vs. the Corporation, and Goldust vs. Al Snow (Goldust has stolen Al Snow's Head).
Another storyline is Kane's rebellious behavior towards the Corporation.
