randy savage
randy savage eliminated himself and got back in
You can't eliminate yourself. If he exited, and was untouched by someone else, he's still legal.
shareBut what about in 1999 when Kane, after beating the s**t out of those hospital dudes, exited the the ring so he could chase the remaining guys? He eliminated himself, fare and scare. Ditto with Drew Carey in 2001. Or Mil Masqueras in 1997? Ahmed Johnson the same year? I think it was a mistake. He forgot he was out. So did the referees, which could be why he did nothing more than staying low-profile in the ring, getting betten up by idiots like I.R.S. or Martel for 20 minutes, before beeing eliminated low-profile style at the end.
shareWell I don't think that Kane or Ahmed Johnson had any reason getting back into their matches, or they really didn't care, because they were either chasing after someone or just got caught up in the moment that they forgot about the match. It's scripted anyway, heh heh.
As for Mil Mascaras (yeah it was 1997), he climbed to the top rope from the inside, and did a flying body press move to those other masked guys who were already eliminated and on the floor outside the ring. I guess if you attack others while you go over yourself, you're out. Ahmed and Kane never did that, but they were more concerned about the distractions. This is sort of confusing me, lol.
Drew Carey had no chance, heh heh I guess he didn't want to come back so he just said the hell with it.
Back in 1989, Andre the Giant eliminated himself after Jake the Snake brought his python in the ring, he never came back either.
Well I guess however you go out over the top (by yourself, by someone else, etc) you're out, unless your name is Randy Savage. That was the only time a wrestler went over the top rope himself where he was allowed back in. Well that and Steve Austin in '97 where the refs "didn't see him" after he was clearly and cleanly tossed by Bret Hart.
If you do a running charge at someone, dive, and go over the top, whether the other wrestler touches you or not, you're out. It's happened quite a few times (Marty Jannetty in 1990, Paul Roma, Jim Duggan in 1991, Big Boss Man in 1992, IRS in 1993, etc).
Savage SHOULD have been out in 1992, he ended up in the final four but was immediately tossed out, wouldn't have mattered anyway if he was eliminated or not. Might as well have had either IRS, Piper, or Martel in the final four with Sid, Hulk, and Flair.
This is my signature, nice eh?
If Savage had been eliminated in those first two minutes I think that would have been the worst moment of the match. The royal rumble is my favorite match and I hate it when guys are tossed out in the first 30 seconds. The longer the match the more I like it, I like getting my money's worth. Especially since this was a year after the Royal Rumble where he didn't even show up. The worst part for me in a Rumble is when nobody shows up. At least Foley took Test's spot after beating him up. No one has given a clear explanation why he didn't wrestle in the Royal Rumble, they said it was because the Warrior chased him out but it seems like a huge waste of talent not to have Savage wrestle when he was billed for the match, especially with all the fans wanting to see him. Even if the Warrior attacked him halfway down the aisle and threw him in to have someone dump him would have been better.
But after Jake was eliminated Savage spent most of the night laying around the ring getting beat on. Made him look weak, out of shape, or injured.
His 1994 Appearance was a real letdown. That match made him look like a wash up.
Which was weird because he went to WCW a year later and wrestled there for another 3 and a half years and put on some great matches.
His last two years in WWF he acted like he was out of energy by the 5 minute mark. But then he would pull out the win out of nowhere.
