And '95 is definitely the worst.
Other than the HBK skin-the-cat finish, it has the worst Rumble lineup in history (the Blu brothers, Kwang, Well Dunn, Mantaur, Aldo Montoya, the second version of the Headshrinkers featuring Sionne instead of Samu, face Doink, the Heavenly Bodies...)
The tag team title match was the finals of a tournament. WWF decided their two most marketable teams for the Rumble undercard were Bam Bam Bigelow and Tatanka, representing the Million Dollar Corporation, and the eventual champions Bob Holly and the 1-2-3 Kid. This has the added crap-bonus of being the kick-off (no pun intended, but it's still delightful) of the Bam Bam/Lawrence Taylor feud that would MAIN EVENT FUCKING WRESTLEMANIA.
Undertaker fought IRS because something about dead people not paying taxes, and this was apparently surprising to the Internal Revenue Service. Taker was attacked by King Kong Bundy. Once again, this built to FUCKING WRESTLEMANIA!
Diesel/Bret was decent (for a Diesel match) and I actually enjoy the Razor/Jarrett contest, but those combined 45 minutes couldn't make up for the rest of it.
