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:
“Speedball” Mike Bailey on JetSpeed’s First Match with Young Bucks Being His Favorite AEW Match, Potential Future Heel Turn in AEW, & His Favorite Ring Gear
Backstage Update on Aleister Black Potentially Returning to AEW Following WWE Release
