Great PPV.

I saw this event. It was live from the Knickerbocker Arena a.k.a. The Pepsi Arena In Albany, New York. It was great to see Ric Flair surviving the battle royal and elimenating both Hulk Hogan and Sid Justice at the end and becoming the WWF World Heavyweight champion. Also I liked seeing Rowdy Rowdy Piper taking the I.C. Championship belt away from The Mountie after he won it from Bret "The Hitman" Hart 2 days earlier. This was a great Pay-Per-View event.

Fast Action Rumble

What a Rumble none stop action some great stories and superstars competing in this one does not lose pace like most Rumble from the moment the first two hit the ring the action never stops. Forget the surrounding matches and turn off when the rumble is done. Bobby the brain outworks everyone in the ring on fire on the mic .

Greatest Rumble ever

This to me was the greatest Rumble ever. Not only was the Rumble match itself one of the longest and in my oppinion one of the most unpredictable as far as who would win e.g. Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Sid Justice, Randy Savage, Undertaker, but it was perhaps one of Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan's greatest commentary masterpieces. It was their commentary that even made matches such as the Bushwackers vs the Beverly Brothers which would normally be a sleeper matchup quite entertaining. Definitly worth at least one view for the hard core, long time, wrestling fans.

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.

Ric Flair's One Man Show!

Royal Rumble (1992) will forever be known as Ric Flair's one man show. A 42 year old Ric Flair put on a one hour plus performance in the W.W.F.'s main event of the Royal Rumble, the battle royale itself. The winner of the match won the W.W.F. undisputed World Heavyweight Championship title. He proved to everyone that he was the man and at his age he cold still perform at a high level. Many older stars (and newer ones) participated in the match. A couple of his old N.W.A. stablemates "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Greg "The Hammer" Valentine. It was like a who's who of wrestling. It was one hell of a main event. The promos before and after the match were priceless as well.

Highly recommended.

The main event of the Royal Rumble (1992) is availible uncut on the Ultimate Ric Flair DVD set.

Anecdotes
"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.

Gaffes
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.

Autres versions
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.
