WWE commissioned a new version of the classic 1991 Royal Rumble poster, using wrestlers from this year’s Royal Rumble match.
From WWE.com:
Created by famed comic and fantasy artist Joe Jusko, the promo depicted Superstars like Hulk Hogan, “Macho Man” Randy Savage and Big Boss Man looking like a beefed-up version of a street gang from the ’70s cult classic “The Warriors.” The image left an indelible mark on a generation of WWE fans, including half of our staff, so we commissioned artist Steven Chorney, creator of memorable posters for Hollywood blockbusters like “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”, “Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade” and “Deadpool,” to reimagine the scene for today’s roster.
Here’s the original from 1991:
Kyle Fletcher on Being a Rising Star and Living His Dream in AEW, Kevin Knight Being in Same Star Position He Was Two Years Ago, & Wrestling Kazuchika Okada Two Years in a Row in AEW’s Continental Classic
WWE SmackDown Notes: Jey Uso & LA Knight Advances in The Last Time Is Now Tournament, Charlotte Flair Wins Advantage for Women’s WarGames Match at Survivor Series WarGames, The MFTs Wins Survivor Series Elimination Match
AEW: Samoa Joe & Eddie Kingston Face-off Segment Set for 12/3 AEW Dynamite Show, Claudio Castagnoli on Belief Continental Classic Has Become “The Tournament” In Pro Wrestling, MVP on Him Turning Down “Unrealistic Moves” On Bobby Lashley’s Behalf
