This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
The 1999 Royal Rumble (marketed as Royal Rumble: No Chance in Hell) was the 12th annual Royal Rumble professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). It took place on January 24, 1999, at the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim in Anaheim, California. The tagline and subtitle of the event was taken from a promise by WWF Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mr. McMahon that the first entrant in the Royal Rumble, Stone Cold Steve Austin, had "no chance in hell" of winning the match. The theme song for the event, based on the phrase, would go on to become the entrance music for McMahon's stable The Corporation and later, just McMahon himself, which he uses to this day.
As has been customary since 1993, the Royal Rumble match winner received a world championship match at that year's WrestleMania. For the 1999 event, the winner received a match for the WWF Championship at WrestleMania XV. The main event of the card was the 1999 Royal Rumble match. The event centered on the continuing heated rivalry between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Mr. McMahon, with those men entering the Royal Rumble match at #1 and #2, respectively. Mr. McMahon won the match by last eliminating Austin. The penultimate match was for the WWF Championship and was an "I Quit" match between Mankind and The Rock, which is remembered both for its brutality and its place in the documentary film Beyond the Mat; The Rock defeated Mankind to win the title. Lower down on the card, the WWF Intercontinental Championship and WWF Women's Championship were both defended.
