The Royal Rumble Begins.
A wrestler is eliminated when leaving the ring over the top rope, and then having both feet touch the floor (although this latter specification was not specified until the 1995 Royal Rumble, where the "both feet" stipulation played a crucial role in the final moments of the match). Going out between the second and third rope or under the bottom rope is not a valid elimination. In this case, not only does second place receive the I-C title, first receives the WWE Champion title, and a guaranteed main event match at the grandest stage of them all, Wrestlemania.
