Wasn't televised and it was just meant to be for the fans and there's probably tons of rumbles like that for all we know so then we might as well say everyone's been in it And I don't feel right counting his battle royal win because big difference between a battle royal and a royal rumble and he shared the win with Rick Mattel and I'm not counting Rick Bogner because if I counted fake razor it would be a complete disservice to Razor Ramon & Scott Hall

Bit of something about the Ramon vs. Goldust match that got edited out of the network version was the fans chanting a certain slur at Goldust somewhere in the match. Wasn't the best showing of the fanbase at the time. Also, on paper this card seemed to be better than the IYH PPV before it, and though it wasn't too great from a match quality standpoint, it did set up a lot of future storylines. The Shawn journey obviously, but the next night on Raw had the famous beatdown on Gorilla from Vader, Goldust's run as the IC champ and his Bizzare gimmick that was only supposed to be until Rumble but was received so well they just stuck with it, the Undertaker vs. Diesel feud really got started here and it leads to one of my favorite moments at the following IYH show (along with the 123 Kid and Razor setting up what would be a very....odd gimmick match). I think the PPV succeeded in setting things up for the storylines they would end up going with, even if they struggled with the match quality.
