Big John Studd in 89
By Scott Keith on 19 September 2017
So BJS wins the rumble in 89 but then doesn't even have his own match at WM5- What gives? And he was gone by June of that year…
Do you think at the time Vince wishes he had someone else win that Rumble? Seems like a wasted opportunity to push someone to the main event?
Yeah, Studd was not particularly happy with how that went down, either. It was a big reason why he left. Definitely in retrospect having him win the Rumble was a huge waste. Probably should have been Randy Savage winning it and he could have "accidentally" eliminated Hogan at the end.
