Royal Rumble Matchlists Thanks goes to my man Travis for some of these matchlists. I did work on some of these Rumble matchlists myself, but he helped me out by doing a large number of matchlists on these and all of my WWF/WWE shows. You'll probably be able to tell which shows I did and which ones he did matchlists for.....styles are different.
