7/10

Decent

Overall, I thought that Royal Rumble 1992 was all right. The highlights include Ric Flair's herculean effort to win the World Title, and Rowdy Roddy Piper winning his only WWF title, defeating the Mountie for the Intercontinental belt. However, there were a lot of terrible gimmicks used (ie: "El Matador" Tito Santana, Skinner, The Barbarian, etc) which brought down my rating. I give it a 7 out of 10.

It was refreshing to see someone other than Hulk Hogan win.

Wissenswertes
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper replaced Bret "The Hitman" Hitman Hart in the WWF Intercontinental Championship against The Mountie. In kayfabe, Bret's temperature was 102 degrees and was too sick to wrestle on the day of the event. In reality, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Bret believed his WWF contract was up, and was talking a guaranteed contract with WCW. The plan was to have Bret debut at Clash of the Champions XVIII (1992) two days after the Rumble, possibly with the IC Title (as retaliation for Ric Flair bringing the NWA/WCW World Championship onto WWF programming). Bret's contract, however, had rolled over and he was unable to give notice. His 2007 autobiography "Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling" confirmed the Observer's notes about the plan to lose the belt to Mountie, only for him to regain it from Piper at WrestleMania VIII (1992), but made no mention of agreeing to a WCW deal at that point in time.

Patzer
The rules of the Royal Rumble match are that elimination occurs by leaving the ring over the top rope and onto the floor. Randy Savage forgot this when he exited the ring by jumping over the top rope to chase his on-screen nemesis Jake Roberts down the aisle. Savage's scripted elimination was to take place later in the match as part of the final four remaining wrestlers. However, he was let back into the ring, with the announcers covering for him by saying that a wrestler had to be thrown over the top rope by another wrestler in order to be eliminated from the match.

Zitate
[Rowdy Roddy Piper has just pulled Jake "The Snake" Roberts off of Ric Flair]
Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan, Announcer: I never thought I'd say this, but thank you Piper. It's a kilt. It's not a skirt, it's a kilt.
[Piper then nails Flair]
Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan, Announcer: You no good creep! You skirt-wearing freak! It's not a kilt, it's a skirt.

Alternative Versionen
On the original PPVbroadcast, the crowd when cheering loudly when Sid Justice when he eliminates Hulk Hogan, who then got booed for trying to pull Sid out. Hogan wanted Sid to be his opponent for WrestleMania VIII, so in recaps shown on WWF Superstars of Wrestling (1986) and WWF Wrestling Challenge (1986), the sound is dubbed so the crowd is booing Sid and cheering Hogan. However, on the Coliseum Video/Silver Vision release, as well the Anthology and WWE Network versions, the original crowd reaction is still there.
