If you would like to support the channel and my work, please visit Patreon: / wrestling_bios Official Website: www.wrestlingbios.com Twitter: / wrestlingbios
When it comes to the very best Royal Rumble match in WWF / WWE history, many will say that nothing is better than the 1992 edition of the famous showdown between 30 superstars. With the WWF championship on the line, the top stars of the World Wrestling Federation met in the ring on the 19th of January 1992 in what many consider the true “greatest” Royal Rumble of all time.
After Ric Flair had got involved in Hulk Hogan’s WWF championship matches at Survivor Series 1991 and This Tuesday in Texas, the WWF championship was vacated. WWF President Jack Tunney announced that the winner of the 1992 Royal Rumble would also become the new undisputed WWF Champion, so there was a lot at stake in the rumble match. Along with Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan, the 1992 Royal Rumble was truly star-studded… the match also featured guys like Roddy Piper, Macho Man Randy Savage, Sid Justice, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Kerry Von Erich and loads more. This video looks at the entire Royal Rumble match along with the famous promo afterwards delivered by “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair.

What's GENIUS about Heeenan's commentary is, not only is he putting over Flair, but every time he sounds scared when other wrestlers either come down and/or attack Flair, its also putting over that particular wrestler as well. Just so genius. RIP Bobby Heenan

[@OptimumTaurus]

Well of course. Heenan understood that if your opposition never looks credible, you don't either. Flair didn't outlast 29 jobbers, he outlasted the best 29 other guys in the company and came out on top.

[@Z_hri]

[@YouTubeistheworst]

I will never get tired of Heenan yelling "It's not fair to Flair!"

[@THEBODYPRACTICE]

This is easily the best RR of all time for a myriad of reasons. Heenan and Monsoon on commentary. Classic wrestlers and at least a dozen of them could have viably been the new champion. Having Flair at #3 win it all is so much of a good business move. Seen it at least 1/2 dozen times and never get tired of these moments.

[@canuckster24]

@@alanguages yeah and then they put it on the Macho Man who had a nothing run with it.

[@alanguages]

@@canuckster24 The likely main reason Savage did not care about his 2nd championship run, was his relationship with Elizabeth went into the gutter. The bright side though, Flair had a 2nd run with the WWF belt and Savage made Razor Ramon a star. Then Flair lost the belt to the most deserving Bret Hart.

[@kenianpark2216]

Vince doctored the audio on repeat highlights to portray him as a babyface too.

[@RichSmithson]

Kind of reminds me of WW3 1995 in WCW. Giant pulls Hogan from under the rope, which the ref doesn't see. Then the ref see's Hogan outside the ring and eliminates him giving Macho Man the victory and the WCW Heavyweight Championship. Hogan then gets in the ring and has a tantrum and demands a title shot while the crowd all boo him.

[@Rando1975]

I love it when Flair comes out at #3 Heenan: DAMN IT!

I think Flair as #3 was a better decision, than from the beginning as #1 or #2.

[@michaelmadden8269]

@@alanguages Agreed. It gives him his solo entrance to walk the aisle.

[@alanguages]

@@michaelmadden8269 It was the best decision, as Ted DiBiase was already an emphasized heel coming in at #1 from a previous RR. This way it was more of a surprise and Flair still competed for over 60 mins. It wasn't overdone either, just have big odds against Flair to beat. If Flair was #1 and threw people left, right and center, through the entire hour, it would be excessive and not enjoyable. I think Royal Rumble 92 was perfect.

The crowd isnt booing Snuka they are all doing his “ Hoo Hoo” that he finished his spots and interviews with surely? Brilliant channel mate!

[@ArchangelSteve]

I was saying Booo-ka...

My 28 years old doubt has been finally cleared. Thank you.

[@TheSBleeder]

Boo-urns.

[@johnmarr2695]

I was there. I was 8 years old and it was my first wrestling show ever. It. Was. Magical.

[@markkhardaway2017]

You lucky man

[@MarkHyde]

Ric Flair stayed true to the whole old wrestling ethos throughout this Royal Rumble - he earnt the win throughout the whole match. Hogan showboating at the end just showed how hollow 'Hulkomania' was by the tail end of his first time with then WWF. Great summary of an epic and titanic battle. So glad the whole match is available to see on WWE's YT channel.

[@eklypised]

Royal Rumble for SEGA Genesis was my favorite wrestling game back in the day

[@markkhardaway2017]

Me too it’s in my top 5 it had a nice roster I think The SNES Roster was a lil better, but Sega had Hogan on there

[@eklypised]

@@markkhardaway2017 if it only had the Great Muta it would have been the best ever lol

I still enjoy Sid's work even if he wasn't always a fan of wrestling.

[@nathanwagner9895]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH i just watched the bump that slaughter took when Sid eliminated him, like 15 times.. perfect.

[@hydradominatus3641]

Slaughter takes the best bumps ever. Remember the stunner he took? Lol

[@nathanwagner9895]

@@hydradominatus3641 lol yea, but honestly as far as selling stunners goes.... everyone always talks about the rock or the way that scott hall took it at WM18.. but truth be told, Vince took it the best, the very first time he ever took it all those years back on Monday Night RAW... it literally looked like he died hahaha

[@justinmartin1831]

He made Sid look like a killer.

[@begpard]

Just watched this yesterday with my girlfriend and 10 year old son and all 3 of us had an amazing time!! We watched royal rumble 2000 tonight

[@willdoc6754]

I just rewatched this rumble last week. Still one of my favorites all time

[@JLvatron]

Ric Flair's hair was so entertaining as it shakes when he tumbles, especially when he begs and falls flat on his face. I counted 7 falls and 11 begs!

[@manongslifestylepassion8539]

That's why Pit Bulls are also very fond of Ric Clair. They can't stop saying WOOOOO when they're in the mood and happy!

[@GermanWehrmacht]

i love this song that was played for the early 90s PPV

[@Matucks]

The font and effect that was used to write "ROYAL RUMBLE" in those times were so eye catching it was just fun when the Rumble season came around it was such a spectacle... the GRAND OLD DAYS

[@lordcrayzar]

I watched this the other day and it was the first wrestling match I’d ever actually watched and it was incredible.

[@PhillipTracey]

Awesome work as always man. 98 Royal rumble, I can remember it like it was yesterday. The build up was nuts and when the glass shattered, we nearly lost it at home and the pop was insane!

[@chadkimmel8957]

Ric Flair and Rowdy Roddy Piper, my two favorite wrestlers.

[@rasslindazzlin3327]

Excellent video essay on why Royal Rumble '92 is indeed, the greatest. Great video!

[@greatestgoalie25]

Snuka was getting a "hoo hoo hoo" chant, like that noise he made in his promos, not boos.

[@jb888888888]

I was saying -Boo urns- Snoo-kah.

[@ceeal2943]

Boo-Urns

[@grayfox1471]

Yes, this is exactly what happened. Paul got it right

[@markcox1028]

Oh man, this brought back some memories. I had this on VHS, I must have watched it 25/30 times and well into 1995.

[@BudSchnelker]

The greatest show I had the honor of attending live. Even without Heenan's five-star commentary, it was heart-in-your-throat excitement. To craft an hour match that never loses the plot and keeps the audience frantic the entire time was no mean feet. I assume much of the structure came from Patterson. And man, did that building come unglued when Flair won it. As we all filed out of the arena that afternoon, every stairwell and corridor was filled with people going "whooooo!!"

[@therealdomingo]

This was my first rumble I ever watched. Still the greatest!

[@TheoAndHisPedals]

40 minutes of Bobby Heenan quotes would be amazing. Hell, you could probably make a best of and just cut together him talking about Helen Hart.

[@jjun2891]

that's amazing. I would love to see Ric Flair's career covered as well. He seem to have a finger in every important event for so many years.

[@g-dub5272]

2001 Rumble is right up there as well

[@damienkirksey7026]

No

[@ceeal2943]

Maybe third or fourth

[@jermaineivey4699]

Very good piece and I'm in total agreement, particularly on the commentary's part in it. There's a moment where Flair is on offense despite having taken a real beating late in the match, and Heenan says something like: "Look at that Monsoon - I told you, the man's a champion" and Monsoon says "Well he's proving that to me Brain". And for me, those moments where they break the 'cheer-the-face-boo-the-heel' dynamic you usually have in commentary are what are priceless and feel honest.

[@filipepaiva6799]

I really like Royal Rumble 2001 and 1997, I also really like 1992, I think those are the 3 best. Great video, good 2021 to you .

[@marlowstanfield6815]

Lol I always thought the 1992 Royal Rumble was the best, it had the most legends in it out of all of them

[@davidashcroft9825]

The ‘tear in my eye’ promo is my favourite promo ever. It’s clear how much it means to Flair.

[@crushthecrushermachinewwel6500]

The ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH 1992 is my favorite Royal Rumble all time

[@joshgranger78]

This is the 2nd best thing to actually watching this Rumble, bravo sir. No crowd reactions like when Piper went after Flair happen anymore.

[@justafanofnerdculture7602]

The WWF's roster was absolutely insane during this time! One of their best rosters ever, in my opinion.

[@markmenning1804]

They didn't boo Superfly Jimmy Snuka. They were saying Hoo Hoo Hoo. That was his saying.

[@12mrshaw]

This match hooked me into wrestling I was 8 years old I must’ve watched the event hundreds of times I’m now 36 and still watch wrestling every week. God bless Ric Flair

[@mitchellima4736]

What a great period that was, watching this era at the time was excellent, the arrival of flair was a shot in the arm with his feud with piper and hogan.

Bobby heenan and gorilla monsoon were the best commentary team ever they had amazing chemistry
