HBK Breaks Rumble Record, WWE Promoting Dante’s Inferno and More

Posted by Marc Middleton on Monday, February 1st, 2010

- The Undertaker vs. Batista for the World Heavyweight Title is being advertised for the SmackDown/ECW event in Stockton, California on March 13th.

- William Regal was advertised for last night’s 30-man Royal Rumble match but did not appear.

- Dante, a character in EA’s Dante Inferno video game, has been added to WWE’s SmackDown roster as a part of WWE promoting the game.

- Ted sent word that Shawn Michaels broke Steve Austin’s record of most Royal Rumble eliminations at last night’s pay-per-view. Austin’s previous record was 36 while Shawn now has 41.

    Um…that’s cause Nacho Libre WAS a wrestler, whereas Dante is not. I’ve seen half a dozen characters on the Smackdown page that WWE was promoting and only 1 ever showed up on TV

    good i’m glad hbk broke austins record, i never was a fan of austin and especially not a fan of him winning THREE rumbles AND holding that record, ridiculous imo, also kane can’t be far behind now surely?

    Awesome HBK! Michel Cole also said something last night about Shawn and Kane sharing the record for most Rumble match appearances can anyone confirm this.

    Well, considering that shawn has participated in more royal rumble than austin, for me, austin still holds the record
