The fact that the Earthquake could drop kick a 6' plus man and sell the clothesline by getting himself parallel with the matt is impressive. Earthquake was actually a great worker and exciting to watch. If you pay attention you can see how respectful and careful he was with his opponents. He knew he could really hurt someone with all that weight if something went wrong, but he really was always careful.

[@danc3488]

Earthquake and Yokozuna are, to this day in my opinion, the 2 safest working big men in wrestling history (outside of Andre, who always took care of his opponents unless he hated them).

[@joem.8277]

@@danc3488 I have heard from Bret Hart and Demolition that Bam Bam Bigelow and One Man Gang were also very safe workers. Can you imagine the damage those men could have done if they botched a power slam or a splash? Also, you are right about Andre, albeit Andre did not permanently hurt people, he just made his point. Bobby the Brain Heenan would tell a story about Andre punching the Ultimate Warrior because the Warrior would "potato" him with his clothesline. Also, Andre would fart on his opponents, and actually shit on Bad News Brown. And according to BBN, it was not just a little bit.

no, they were booing him cause they knew he was a murderer

[@RiC_David]

@@jbfarley Is that how crimes work? Lol. If you weren't there at the crime scene, you have no business saying what happened?! Well the victim's dead, that leaves only the killer and he says it wasn't a murder so seeing as he's the only one who was actually there...we'll have to take his word for it! "You weren't there" - Good Lord, the logic! And while you're right that very few fans knew about it at the time, there _were_ newsletter subscribers (e.g. The Observer, The Torch) who could have been following the story but their numbers were far fewer than today. Anyway, Slap was obviously just joking.

[@TeemoQuinton]

@@RiC_David I mean to this day I still doubt that he murdered her. Murder is a big thing, we often joke about "Manslaughter" but there is a big difference in it not just legally but also in actual definition. Without a doubt Snuka was responsible for her death but in no way do I think there was ever a case nor enough evidence for it to be called murder. Manslaughter, yes. Just call him a killer, it's more apt and more realistic. Manslaughter - noun - the crime of killing a human being without malice aforethought, or otherwise in circumstances not amounting to murder. Murder - noun - the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.

[@wrestlingstuffv2]

You can't even do an affirmation here because snowflakes go *hE wAs A mUrDeReR*, yeah we know that. What Mr. Campbell said is right. Snuka would go "VWOOF, VWOOF" signaling wind sounds because he was a high flyer (the Superfly).

One of my favorite Heenan moments from this show is during the LoD/Disasters match in which he tries to call someone over to go in the back and try to find out Flair's entry number to which Monsoon calls over security to get the guy out of there. Also, it's interesting to note that at this point, people were starting to grow tired of Hogan's shtick which is why Sid got such a big pop when he tosses him from the match. In subsequent replays throughout the following weeks though, Vince would have the footage edited from the crowd reaction to having new lines recorded by Heenan and Monsoon.

ric flair did something roman couldn't do at the 2016 royal rumble which is actually being able to survive the entirety of the rumble while the wwe champion was at stake while ric had to deal with the entire match , roman was sent to the back for the majority of the match which doesn't show that he was a "fighting champion" enough because he didn't try to survive a challenge like this

[@tyson1fan487]

This was my all time favorite ppv and I always loved the rumble especially back then.

[@Exiled_Rouge]

First time seeing this new intro. Love it. I appreciate the attention to increasing the quality and format of the shows on the channel for the last few months. Great job.

[@scrapinator8910]

There will never be another commentator as good as Bobby Heenan.

[@tysonmiller8258]

The Barbarian doesn’t like anyone when I managed him he barely liked me-Bobby Hennan

[@antoniosmith5350]

This was the first wrestling show I ever watched. And I was hooked!!!

[@InuKingdomFan]

A while back someone had the entire rumble match itself uploaded to YT, and watching it was an experience. So different from what we know nowadays, and yeah, this really is up there with one of the best WWE matches.

[@CABNoLimit]

I remember watching this live with my Dad and Sister. We all picked our winner of the Royal Rumble. My Sister picked Sid, Dad picked Hogan and with a tear in my eye! I picked Flair.

The More You Know

[@antatomik]

I remember having this on VHS just seeing those floating letters gives me nostalgia and a hunger for Twix.

[@kashmere7980]

When Virgil comes out heenan says 'he's coming out quite late-imagine how many bags he's gone through in the back' wow

[@RoyStantz]

The shoot reason for Mountie beating Bret for the IC Title was that according to the Wrestling Observer, 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 18 two days after this PPV, possibly with the IC Title (as retaliation for Flair bringing the NWA/WCW World Title 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 8, but made no mention of agreeing to a WCW deal at that point in time.

[@davidescanio2929]

I couldn't agree more about this being the best Rumble of all time. Awesome from the promos to the perfect ending to the post match gem with mean "put that cigarette out" Gene. I even liked the other marches and and rowdy winning the Ic was icing on the cake plus LOD natural disasters and a Young Undertaker! Can't say enough!

[@AndrewAnstrom]

I watched the beginning of this in the bathroom and my wife thought I was watching porn because of the music.

[@SKMCTV]

This was the first PPV I saw live as a kid, not on VHS, Ric Flair lasting the whole time was incredible.

[@CaptianBastard7]

Digging the new intro, MUCHO excited to start this one...one of the first PPVs I ever saw

[@pepito2847]

I’ll admit it was very petty for hogan to distract sid by pulling his arm when all sid did was eliminate hogan in a match thats EVERY MAN FOR THEMSELVES

[@KB-qk1ic]

I remember at 8 years old how Hogan was a jerk for doing that, and rooted for Sid to get even.

[@119Agent]

Hogan constantly did this to his friends -- Macho Man, Tugboat, Koko B Ware.

[@ChrisWolff2013]

Hogan was always a selfish fuck. He even admitted he politicker his way throughout his career. Never liked the guy and never got the hype. Overrated talker and shit wrestler.

[@DueMan66]

guillermo acosta one of the heel things Hogan did as a face 😂😂😂

[@tommytaylor4336]

I get so confused by this 'Hogan is a jerk' thing people mention from RR92. Like, Hogan isn't the only person to eliminate someone even though he's not part of the match. Far from it in fact. So why is Hogan considered such a jerk at the Rumble? When it's fine whenever anyone else does it?

[@christianhafer9819]

The star power in the Rumble is unbelievable! How many Hall of Famer's? Absolutely classic.

[@christopherstead1203]

Like the added touch of that old school TV for the intro. Nice touch

Oh dear Jesus is that WWF Attitude (The Game) Triple H (No pun intended, honestly) in your profile pic? There's something disturbing about that low poly flat faced model looking at it now. Looks like the missing link or something.

[@jesseslack2089]

This is my favorite Heenan ppv, even at 12 years old, he had me rolling especially his line about trying to lift The Undertaker when flair low--blowed him.

[@toptenguy1]

That must have been incredible to watch live, no spoilers or anything. It was super exciting to watch even on Coliseum Video 2 months later when I knew the result! lol
