The 1992 Royal Rumble was the best Royal Rumble ever. It is equaled only by the 1989 Royal Rumble. The action was hot.
(SPOILERS AHEAD)For the first time since the Rumble made it's debut we had a brilliant undercard. The charismatic Rowdy Roddy Piper won his first ever WWF belt by beating the hateful Mountie for the Intercontinental Title. The Legion of Doom battled the gigantic Natural Disasters in a good tag team match. The Bushwhackers had their usual comedy match with The Beverly Brothers and the New Foundation had a non-stop match with the Orient Express.
Let's not forget the Rumble itself. The winner of this Rumble would automatically become WWF champion. The stars really went at it. Ric Flair competed for an hour taking blows from nearly every star. At the end it boiled down to Hulk Hogan, Sid Justice and Ric Flair. Justice eliminated Hogan but Hogan wouldn't accept the loss and grabbed Justice allowing Flair to eliminate Justice. Flair was the new champion-and despite being one of the bad guys I think the fans actually enjoyed seeing the Nature Boy as champion.
I'll never forget this event.
