WATCH: Vince McMahon's shock Royal Rumble win in 1999!
Last Updated: 21/01/19 1:13pm
To paraphrase (kind of) the Beatles, it was 20 years ago today... that one of the greatest upsets in the history of the Royal Rumble took place.
Some might even go as far as to call it one of the ultimate shocks on all time, and that in an industry which has generated billions of dollars by springing the unexpected on its fans.
With January 1999 punched into the DeLorean we revisit the famous moment as part of our build-up to this year's Royal Rumble, which is live on Sky Sports Box Office on Sunday night.
A red-hot "Stone Cold" Steve Austin entered at #1 that year, following by a tentative-looking but enormously muscle-bound Mr McMahon, whose chiselled physique was combined - somewhat uniquely - with black dress trousers and a leather belt.
The pair made it all the way to the end, when a certain electrifying superstar made his presence felt at ringside.
Words cannot really do justice to the conclusion of the '99 Rumble, so click on the video above and let the nostalgia wash over you...
