The Royal Rumble is a professional wrestling pay-per-view event, produced every January by professional wrestling promotion WWE. The event was created in 1988 with the inaugural event held on January 24, 1988 at the Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario. The event however was not a pay-per-view but was originally shown as a television special on USA Network. The following year's event was the first Royal Rumble pay-per-view event. The first Royal Rumble match was won by Jim Duggan. The event's main feature is a Battle Royal-type match, entitled the Royal Rumble. The pay-per-view is a part of WWE's "Big Four", along with WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series. The Royal Rumble has been classified as being one of WWE's most popular pay-per-view events.
The match is based on the classical Battle Royal match, in which a number of wrestlers aim at eliminating their competitors by tossing them over the top rope, with both feet touching the floor. The winner of the event is the last wrestler remaining after all others have been eliminated.
Coming from the hills on the far horizon
Where the winter bites like hardest steel
Loosing many wives and children
So we are beggin' for the mercy of the Lord
Coming from the hills where snow is fallin'
We are searchin' for the promised land
If we stay there is no tomorrow
So we are beggin' for the mercy of the Lord
Now it's time my mighty warrior
Now it's time for you again
Let your sword taste blood of thousands heads that are
rolling bloody in the sand
Find every one and take no prisoners
Let us swear the oath once more
Hunt these dogs out of my kingdom
That's the mercy they are beggin' for
For each head you bring to me I will give you a
daughter's hand
For each body taht you rape I will promise you a land
For each arrow that you shoot I will let a valkyrie fly
For each woman that you get I will let her husband die
Waste no time my mighty warrior they are waitin' for
your steel
When the wives and children cry luck is everything you
feel
When it's done and you'll be back you'll be proud to
kiss my hand
I hope that no one will survive so they have their
