With the upcoming Royal Rumble just days away and the Road to WrestleMania 42 about to officially get underway, I’ve been thinking about the event’s storied history a lot lately. From Ric Flair’s epic 1992 victory to Gunther being an absolute unit in recent years, there’s been a lot to think about, all things considered. That includes Drew Carey’s appearance in the 2001 Royal Rumble.
Wait, did he say Drew Carey, the star of The Drew Carey Show and host of The Price is Right? Your eyes aren’t deceiving you, and now that longtime WWE executive and podcaster Bruce Pritchard has given the Cleveland, Ohio native his flowers, I have some thoughts about the man, the myth, and one of the best WWE celebrity appearances of all time.
