Royal Rumble entrances and eliminations
A new entrant came out approximately every 90 seconds.

Trivia

 * This was the first Royal Rumble to have 90 second entrance intervals rather than the previously traditional 2 minute intervals. It was announced by commentator Vince McMahon that WWF President Jack Tunney reduced the interval times for timing constraints. The following year would go one step further and reduce the time intervals to one minute each.
 * Ludvig Borga was scheduled to be Tatanka's opponent (as well as compete in the Rumble match), but was unable to due to (legit) injury (Borga was never seen on WWF TV again).
 * Thurman "Sparky" Plugg, who later went on to prominence under his own name of Bob Holly, made his first televised WWF appearance in the Royal Rumble match, replacing an injured 1-2-3 Kid.
