The title was actually vacated after the rematch at This Tuesday in Texas where Hogan regained the belt. Jack Tunney said as there was outside interference in both matches, he vacated the belt
I remember all this going down. and wishing they would do a ppv match between Hogan and Flair. and found out through 1 of the wrestling youtube channels, that the reason they never did that was they did test runs on house shows and it did not go over well. cause the Flair vs Hogan was suppose t take place at Wrestlemania 6 I believe
Yep, Hogan won the rematch but I THINK, he hit Taker with the belt and was able to just barely schoolboy him to win...weirdest storyline I've ever seen WWE do, as it was obviously supposed to be heading to a Hogan/Flair Wrestlemania but somehow ended up Hogan/Sid and Savage/Flair.
I watched the replay of Hogan/Undertaker II and Hogan threw ash from the urn ⚱️ in Taker's eyes and Jack Tunney saw it go down. After Hogan won the belt, the belt was then vacated and the rest is history.
Was supposed to be wrestlemania 8 with flair and hogan, but if you’re (TH-cam channel) going to do this, educate yourself on facts bc you’re so wrong on so many things.
Is that the Macho Man Jake feud where Jake had a Cobra bite Macho....I saw that on TV as a 10 year old kid and it was so terrifying. Your Rumbles bring back memories.
I wasnt a huge fan of Texas Tornado when I was growing up. But I gained a hell of a lot of respect for him when I found out he lost his foot after a motercycle accident in the 80s and he'd been wrestling ever since with a prosthetic foot. Very sad that he passed away jist over a year after this rumble
It was and still is, never been topped. There have been awesome moments in Rumbles since 92 obviously but as a whole match, with such a star-studded cast, 92 remains the best ever.
One of the greatest matches of all time in my opinion. Ric Flair and Bobby Heenan on commentary told literally the most amazing story you could possibly tell in a clusterfuck like the Rumble. And it may be the only time a commentator was fully there to tell a story for one performer in the match. Not only that, there were two other huge storylines that got addressed in the match. Randy Savage trying to get his hands on Jake Roberts. And Sid vs Hogan, though that was some really stupid writing.
I love these videos and am now subscribed. Great trips down memory lane with a different outcome and you have such a great demeanour and love for all this it is infectious.
Ricky, these Rumble videos are awesome! The Royal Rumble has always been my favorite PLE going all the way back to 89. Thank you for all of the hard work in recreating these!
I’m loving the replays of the royal rumbles hope you go all the way till 2024 would be cool to see history change love the work Ricky J you make my day
Hey Ricky J, another awesome Rumble as always. So to explain what happened with Texas Tornado, he was stunned against the ropes and was in the process of being bodyslammed over the top rope, when Volkoff made his entrance, sliding into the ring at the exact spot the Tornado was about to be thrown over. When Volkoff slid in, it moved Kerry and whoever was bodyslamming him over, back just enough to make Kerry land back in the ring instead of outside. His name bar disappeared at the exact moment he landed on the canvas of the ring and he got up as though he were on the outside and he was trying to walk to the back, but the ropes prevented that. So, when the next entrants' name appeared on the screen, The Tornado blew away out of existence. 😂😂😂
Random Wrestling Sketches *Asuka, Nia Jax and John Cena all walk into the stadium, carrying bags full of grocery supplies. The figure of The Rock can be seen in the foreground, motionless and pointing* Nia: Hey, cousin. We just came back from shopping. You want some celery? *The Rock doesn't reply. They approach him, and suddenly realize how grey he is* Nia: Cousin? Dwayne? Can you hear me? (taps him on the shoulder, and gets a sudden realization) OH, MY GOD!! HE'S BEEN TURNED TO STONE!! John: What?! (rubs the Rock with his fingers, then winces at how rough his surface is) Ouch! Yeah, he's definitely more "rock" than normal. Asuka: (speaking in Japanese) Hang on, how do we know this really is him? How can we tell it's not just a statue? Nia: (puts her head to The Rock's chest) No, I can hear his heart beating in there. He's *not* a statue. John: Well, now I've got a question: how the heck did this happen? *Suddenly, a deep, mysterious voice speaks over them* Voice: If you want to free your friend/cousin from his grim fate, you must face the one who petrified him in combat! John: Who said that?! Who are you? Voice: I am Ares! The ancient Greek god of war! And I know it was Medusa the Gorgon who was responsible for petrifying your Rock friend! Asuka: (whispering in Japanese) "Ancient Greek god of war"? Is he for real? Voice: This is not a joke, Asuka. I really AM Ares, and you really are about to fight the real Medusa. So, before she arrives, provide yourselves with these protective sunglasses that I have left for you in a bag at the side of the ring. *They glance over at the bag in question, then walk over and take the sunglasses out, all except John* John: Oh, one more thing, Ares. Where are you speaking to us from? Ares: From the observation booth, of course! (They look up to the observation booth to see a man in a Greek helmet looking back down) I paid your Mr. McMahon generously to allow me a ringside seat. Now, enough talk, warriors! Ready yourselves, for the Gorgon arrives! *With a nightmarish hissing, Medusa herself walks down to the ring. She is an imposing, scaly figure, with long snakes hanging down from her head, tusks like a boar and a protruding tongue, and her hands end in big bronze claws* Auska: (in Japanese) Is she as ugly as she sounds? Ares: Worse than that, Asuka! Now, be warned, warriors. Blood from the Gorgon's right side can heal anything, including her own petrification. But blood from her *left* side will poison and kill! And as you know, anything Medusa makes eye contact with, she can and will turn to stone! So keep those sunglasses on- (sees John) *Cena, why aren't you wearing sunglasses, you fool?!* John: Because that way, I get to do *this!* (Just as Medusa starts crawling up into the ring, he slides in front of her, narrowing his eyes and waving his hand in front of his face) Hey, Medusa! You can't see me! *Astonishingly, Cena does NOT end up turning to stone in that moment. Even more astonishingly, Medusa's head ends up darting around in confusion* Medusa: Who ssssssaid that? Why can't I sssssee you? (she climbs into the ring, while John dodges around her, now focusing on Nia) Wasss it you who sssssspoke? Nia: (with a tone of barely-restrained anger, even though she can't see Medusa) Wow. You deaf as well as blind, snake-face? Medusa: (seething) Look into my eyessssssss and ssssay that again! Nia: I've got a better offer. (She throws up a kick into Medusa's groin, knocking the Gorgon backwards, but immediately cries out in pain and shakes her foot) AAGH!! SON OF A-!! WHAT'S SHE MADE OF?! Ares: Oh, did I forget to tell you? Medusa's skin is also coated in iron scales, so going at her with your bare hands and feet *might* not be the best idea! *Medusa glares at Nia and starts rushing towards her, only for John to attack the Gorgon from behind and beat her head with a chair* Medusa: OW!! WHO DID THAT?! *She wheels around and lashes out, but misses John by inches, whereupon he hits her again. Asuka then joins in, hitting Medusa with a barbed wire bat, before leaning in and spitting green mist into her eyes* Medusa: AAGHH!! MY EYESSSSSSSS!! I CAN'T SSSSSSSEE!! I CAN'T SSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEE!!! Asuka: (in Japanese) You were not ready for Asuka, were you? Ares: YES! BATTER HER, MY WARRIORS! *Now blinded, Medusa is helpless to defend herself from the rapid-fire volley of blows directed at her with every weapon John, Asuka and Nia can find. Yet, however much they stun her, not one drop of blood is spilt* Nia: Right, screw these weapons! I'm getting hands-on! *Nia grabs Medusa by her neck, chokeslams her into the floor, and then pins the Gorgon down below her weight, grabbing her wrists when Medusa tries lashing out with her bronze claws* John: Whoa, Nia, what are you doing?! Nia: She petrified my cousin! (to Medusa, while forcing the Gorgon's clawed hands upwards towards her eyes) Eye for an eye, you snake-haired b***h!! *Just as Nia shoves Medusa's hands forwards, the camera cuts to John covering his mouth and gagging, while Medusa lets out a pained scream accompanied by a vile squelch* Nia: (slowly rises to her feet, her hands visibly wet with blood, while she breathes heavily) We wanted blood? We've got blood. John: Ughh... Wow, Nia, I can't believe you just... Ughh.. Ares: ...Well, it's certainly not a classic decapitation, like Perseus did, but, points to your originality! Congratulations, champions, Medusa is now blind and unable to petrify you anymore! Please take off your sunglasses, collect some right-side blood, and go to wake the Rock up. *Nia and Asuka both take off their sunglasses, and start collecting blood from Medusa's right eye where her bronze claw has... you know. John, meanwhile, raises a paper bag to his mouth to breath into until he calms down* Asuka: (in Japanese) Do you reckon we've got enough blood now? Nia: Yeah, we should have. Come on, let's go give my cousin a drink. *They all quietly slide out of the ring, and walk over to The Rock. Nia pulls out the small flask she was collecting blood in and pours it into his mouth. Seconds later, he starts shaking and twitching, and then the grey stone coating over his skin starts flaking off in big patches, until he's back to normal again* John: HE'S ALIVE!! (walks over to The Rock to put a hand on his shoulder) How're you feeling, man? Rock: (panting and grimacing) Like I got gravel in my mouth... Ugh... How long was I petrified for? Nia: You don't need to worry anymore, cousin. You're okay now. We'll get you over to the hospital until you're good to go around outside again. *She and John lift The Rock's arms onto their shoulders, and start slowly escorting him out of the arena, while Ares teleports into the ring in the background to get the blinded Gorgon to her feet. As they leave...* John: I still can't believe you did that, Nia! I still can't get that out of my eyes! Asuka: (In Japanese) Neither can Medusa, apparently. *Nia and John both give her a dirty look, while The Rock just looks totally confused*
I thought the same because of an interesting thing: In the actual 1992 Rumble, Hogan clotheslined Taker out then immediately turned around and backflipped Berserker out right behind him.
I just recently found this channel, I have not been disappointed! You my man are hilarious, I love the commentary on this one. Especially with Texas Tornado disappearing lmao😂😂😂😂😂
Dude, please tell me you’re gonna do the big four! Watching these alternate rumbles make me want to see the SS, WM, and SS! Great content, commentary and great job. I can’t wait for the next one. And hopefully all of the main 4!!
The Texas tornado looked like a glitch, he got thrown over the top and glitched back in the ring, then he was walking in the corner and I think he was supposed to be walking to the back. Then he vanished bc he went “through the curtain”
Nasty Boy actually did a finisher to eliminate the tornado , but somehow he hit the ring , if you watch at 14:16 they grapple but nasty boy does his rope finisher then the rest is history , he even goes through the elimination animations in the corner.
When Kerry entered the ring the first thing that popped into my head was damn he dies the following year. So imagine me watching him glitch all alone in the corner, nobody “checking on him” and then poof, he disappears! Not to mention my niece reminded me he died days before( early February ) I’m watching it( I didn’t fact check this) and his birthday is coming up. The commentary made it extra scary RIP Kerry!
11:45 You know who else had great chemistry with Gorilla Monsoon RickyJ? Lord Alfred Hayes! Those two were fantastic together. Also anyone with Jesse Ventura were great as well. Thank you for another Epic Rumble! Flair was doing his thing with Heenan going crazy with the announcements. Wooo! Yes Ricky! Macho Man and Jake Roberts had a great fued. 😂
YES! Another in our small group of Gorilla and Lord Alfred loving duo! Hayes would be the cheeky little companion to Gorilla, bringing out Gorilla's humor more and I liked that. Their bits about the ladies of WWF were always funny to me...like two teenage boys they were...I believe MSG or the Spectrum telecasts were usually those two
@RickyJSports I have truly been enjoying these Royal Rumble videos. Can someone explain where/how to download these characters? I want to relive these golden years again! Have not bought a wrestling game in 30 years but want this game now.
That was freaky Sags eliminates him but instead of Texas Tornado going to the floor he lands on the apron and his meter is removed. That is one of the weirdest eliminations in Rumble History crazy Ricky J.
I always heard that the person Mean Gene was yelling at to put the cigarette out was Pat Patterson. Been loving this series, I can't wait for 95-01 :)That was probably my peak of fandom. Those are some of my favorites even if the matches themselves aren't very good.
Stumbled across your channel at random, your commentary is 😂😅. Ric Flair was my favorite wrestler growing up along with Randy Savage and Roddy Piper too many to name so i guess im biased to the '92 Royal Rumble being my favorite. I haven't bought or played a wrestling game since like 2K14 i think so your definitely making me wanna go get it!! Love the channel i subscribed
It's all about the memories, in this Rumble! Nine Deuce was such a crucial year...I already had 3 younger bros growin up, but I would get to have sleepovers every now and then, meaning up to 5 more of my friends! I started up this "Midnight Wrestling League" where we get the bedroom pitch dark. I coerced my younger bro to join, and soon after the lights went out: BAM! I saw just a flash of light. When I ordered lights on, my lil bro was the one holding the cardboard box that I was clocked with!
"Barbarian doesn't like Flair." - Gorilla Monsoon "Barbarian doesn't like anyone. When I managed him he barely like me." - Bobby Heenan Thank you for the memories man!
14:25 That Texas Tornado glitch. He was thrown, did the reaction that he got eliminated then walked to the corner. It's funny that glitch wasn't registed
Demolition separated in the fall of 1991 and ax left WWE just a year earlier and on TV was mentioned that there can only been two members of demolition
Ric Flair won in 1992 at №3 at the time nobody who got №1to №5 had lasted until the final 4 . №1 and №2 have won since then the first to win from №1 was Shawn Michaels in 1995 British Bulldog got №2 in 1995 and was runner up the first to win from №2 was Mr McMahon in 1999 he won by eliminating Stone Cold who got №1 .
Virgil and DiBiase had a tag team match against Dusty and Dustin Rhodes at Royal Rumble 1991 after the match Virgil turned against DiBiase and knocked him out with the Million Dollar belt . At WrestleMania 7 Virgil beat DiBiase by count out and at at SummerSlam 1991 Virgil won the Million Dollar belt . They were on opposite team at Survivor Series 1991 .
They weren't booing Snuka, they were chanting "SOOOOOOOOOOP!" Dibiase and Virgil parted ways a year earlier at the Rumble. Actually I think the crowd was chanting "WHOOO! WHOOO!"
As a Scot I used to watch Wrestling in the UK every Saturday afternoon, and Davey Boy Smith was thin as hell back then, when he went to the WWF he came out as this muscular figure lol He was juiced for sure.
At a about the 14:30 mark Jerry Sags eliminated the Texas Tornado as he was thrown over the rope, the Texas Tornado glitched going over but his name disappeared from bottom. that is why what at about the 15:39 mark of video he disappeared
Undertaker wasn't stripped of the belt. They had an event after Survivor Series called "This Tuesday In Texas" in which there was a rematch for the title. Hogan won the rematch with some controversial interference from Ric Flair again. It was after that the title was vacated and decided at the Royal Rumble.
The Repo Man was originally Smash. He later had a gig as Hole in One, a golfing wrestler. Also, Barry Darsow wasn't the original Smash. Moondog Rex was.
The best Rumble was when Cena and Batista fell out the ring at the same time in the end.....and Vince McMahon all pissed off stormed into the ring tearing both his quads
Cena and Bautista. I really thought they timed it so they both hit. Craziest thing I ever saw to end a rumble. A tie!! Then being completely baffled as to why Vince was sitting down after storming to the ring!
My dad always said Texas tornado and brothers was good wrestlers and fun to watch it sad what happen to von brothers I found out more about them by watching the movie that came out about them it was a good movie even though they left out some details which is understandable still get movie about them
I was never a fan of Sid, either as a heel or face. Was rooting for Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. That was a pretty intense fun rumble to watch. I had a feeling Ric Flair was not going to win? I guess it's good to have a different variety of wrestlers, so congrats to Sid. So the Texas Tornado..., what happened was Saggs actually eliminated him like Snuka's move to pick him up & throw them over the ropes. That's what happened, but it looked like a glitch when he was supposedly thrown over the ropes & was tangled in the ropes instead, but then the computer counted it as an elimination, hence why TX Tornado looked possessed in the corner? Thanks Ricky, a good rumble to watch! Can't wait to see the 1993 Royal Rumble!
That was the weirdest glitch I have even seen in one of these game plays with the Texas Tornado....Sags threw him out, but he sorta "flipped" back in...but if you look at the bottom of the screen, his power bar disappeared at that point, so he was eliminated when Sags threw him over the top rope...thats why he just started walking like a zombie in the corner...he was gone from the match, but the computer character was still in the ring for some reason lol...thats why he just vanished a couple minutes later...the game realized he was already gone, but forgot to actually remove him when it was supposed to lol...Pretty funny glitch...I wish he stayed stuck in the corner for the whole match lmao
Hogan beat Undertaker in a rematch at This Tuesday In Texas but due to the controversial title changes between the two wrestlers Jack Tunney vacated the title and said whoever won the 1992 Rumble would be the new WWF/WWE champion . Hogan and Undertaker were given preferential treatment in the random draw in that they could randomly pick between 20 and 30 .
@@christophergarner6815 Also Mr Hole In One Stewart Payne a golfer turned wrestler the name was a reference to Payne Stewart , after the death of Stewart WCW dropped the gimmick .
Demolition became a 3 man team in 1990 with Ax , Smash and Crush . Ax left WWE just after Survivor Series 1990 . Crush left in 1991 . Smash was repackaged as Repo Man . Crush returned as a singles wrestler in 1992 and beat Repo Man by submission at SummerSlam 1992 at Wembley Stadium .
The physics of this game with finishers is wild, the bigger the opponent the bigger draw on your characters stamina and will take him a second to get up.
I wish 2K would make it that every time you select The Royal Rumble 92 Set when you have The Royal Rumble Match you win The Championship every time. That would be so cool.
Undertaker and Hogan had a rematch at a PPV called This Tuesday in Texas where Hogan regained the title after throwing ashes into Undertaker's eyes. Due to the shenanigans for both that and the Survivor Series match, Jack Tunney vacated the title and put it up for grabs at the Royal Rumble. Hogan and Undertaker, as the previous (champions) were given an advantage of being guaranteed a number between 20-30.
It’s definitely my personal fav RR match and it’s certainly one of the best and I honestly believe a lot of that has to do with the commentary from Bobby “The Brain” Heenan. He was hilariously brilliant all throughout the match lol
Hello Mr. Ricky J. I watched your last two rumbles and I heard you mention about your Mount Rushmore of favorite wrestlers. Well if I had a Mount Rushmore of favorite wrestlers my Mount Rushmore would be and all these guys would be during their Babyface days. mine would be. 1. Shawn Michaels 2. Triples H 3. The Rock with hair 4. The Undertaker My Mount Rushmore of favorite music would be 1. Ultimate Warrior 2. The second version of The Hardy Boyz 3. LOD 4. Demolition
Aw, man. I was hoping to see someone holding up the classic Winged Eagle at the end of this one. Any chance you can make the rest of the champions Rumbles for a title that the winner gets to hold up at the end of the video +?
The rule is if you go over the top rope and both feet touch the floor you are eliminated, Savage I think forgot he was in the Rumble and was doing something for the crowd, and the back team staff must have systematically slapped their heads and came up with something to get him back in lol
Texas Tornado was never seen again😮
The title was actually vacated after the rematch at This Tuesday in Texas where Hogan regained the belt. Jack Tunney said as there was outside interference in both matches, he vacated the belt

My favorite rumble. Heenan and Gorilla were GOLD on commentary.
“Put that cigarette out!” 😂
omg thanks so much brother for the kind donation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You made my night man.. thank you so much!!
In 92 Sid Had The Best Elimination When He Threw Sgt Slaughter A Crossed The Ring And He Hit The Top Turnbuckle And Went Over The Top Rope
Is that the Macho Man Jake feud where Jake had a Cobra bite Macho....I saw that on TV as a 10 year old kid and it was so terrifying. Your Rumbles bring back memories.

He was my favorite when I was 10-12 with The undertaker at the time
I even had his Poster in my room
Rip Kerry Von Erich
thats crazy that he had the will to continue wrestling
What an awesome Rumble. Congratulations to the winner and the new WWF CHAMPION. I am liking the replays of the old rumbles.
This rumble was and still is hands down the best .the commentary of gorrila and bobby Heenan was hilarious the ."It's not fair to flair" I loved it
Congrats on the surge of views you've been getting for this series man, looks like people are pretty interested in these Rumble replays.
I always thought it was funny how Slaughter put on a red/white/blue wristband so you knew he was no longer a heel 😂
I haven't watched yet but I just hope they're fair to Flair.😁
Rick “The Model” Martel: “Smell the power, smell the beauty, smell the ARROGANCE” on the Brother Love show 😂
he was huge man!
It was and still is, never been topped. There have been awesome moments in Rumbles since 92 obviously but as a whole match, with such a star-studded cast, 92 remains the best ever.
Hogan being a sore loser and costing Sid was the exact moment I reconsidered being a Hulkamaniac😂😂 thanks for fulfilling SIDS destiny 😂🤙🏼

"His mother must be strong raising dumb bells like him". Is one of my favorite Bobby quotes from this Rumble.
Snuka got rid of Piper because he was still angry about getting hit in the head with a coconut on Pipers Pit.🤣
Nice work Ricky. Glad to see how popular these have been lately. You deserve it.
Loved that Texas Tornado glitch. 😂🤣
This was the best rumble ever, so many legends in that one.
so many pops beavis!! haha

The Texas Tornado exit is even stranger after seeing The Iron Claw
Snuka made so many eliminations here that was crazy
Marty Janetty was supposed to be in this but was suspended due to drugs
Damn Marty
Marty had to screw it up as always
Yes Volkoff replaced Marty. Also Haku replaced Brian Knobbs because of an Shoulder injury.

*Nia grabs Medusa by her neck, chokeslams her into the floor, and then pins the Gorgon down below her weight, grabbing her wrists when Medusa tries lashing out with her bronze claws*
John: Whoa, Nia, what are you doing?!
Nia: She petrified my cousin! (to Medusa, while forcing the Gorgon's clawed hands upwards towards her eyes) Eye for an eye, you snake-haired b***h!!
*Just as Nia shoves Medusa's hands forwards, the camera cuts to John covering his mouth and gagging, while Medusa lets out a pained scream accompanied by a vile squelch*
Nia: (slowly rises to her feet, her hands visibly wet with blood, while she breathes heavily) We wanted blood? We've got blood.
John: Ughh... Wow, Nia, I can't believe you just... Ughh..
Ares: ...Well, it's certainly not a classic decapitation, like Perseus did, but, points to your originality! Congratulations, champions, Medusa is now blind and unable to petrify you anymore! Please take off your sunglasses, collect some right-side blood, and go to wake the Rock up.
*Nia and Asuka both take off their sunglasses, and start collecting blood from Medusa's right eye where her bronze claw has... you know. John, meanwhile, raises a paper bag to his mouth to breath into until he calms down*
Asuka: (in Japanese) Do you reckon we've got enough blood now?
Nia: Yeah, we should have. Come on, let's go give my cousin a drink.
*They all quietly slide out of the ring, and walk over to The Rock. Nia pulls out the small flask she was collecting blood in and pours it into his mouth. Seconds later, he starts shaking and twitching, and then the grey stone coating over his skin starts flaking off in big patches, until he's back to normal again*
John: HE'S ALIVE!! (walks over to The Rock to put a hand on his shoulder) How're you feeling, man?
Rock: (panting and grimacing) Like I got gravel in my mouth... Ugh... How long was I petrified for?
Nia: You don't need to worry anymore, cousin. You're okay now. We'll get you over to the hospital until you're good to go around outside again.
*She and John lift The Rock's arms onto their shoulders, and start slowly escorting him out of the arena, while Ares teleports into the ring in the background to get the blinded Gorgon to her feet. As they leave...*
John: I still can't believe you did that, Nia! I still can't get that out of my eyes!
Asuka: (In Japanese) Neither can Medusa, apparently.
*Nia and John both give her a dirty look, while The Rock just looks totally confused*
These videos are amazing. Such nostalgic gold. All I can think of, though, is that I'd love to see you run the Wrestlemanias after the Rumble
Okay unreal! Your Royal Rumble Runner Up Revenge Tour continues!!
Hogan throwing out Virgil and Jake in quick succession was hyper-realistic!
I thought the same because of an interesting thing: In the actual 1992 Rumble, Hogan clotheslined Taker out then immediately turned around and backflipped Berserker out right behind him.
I just recently found this channel, I have not been disappointed! You my man are hilarious, I love the commentary on this one. Especially with Texas Tornado disappearing lmao😂😂😂😂😂
i love these throw backs seeing these old time wrestlers bring backs memories..thank u
Dude, please tell me you’re gonna do the big four! Watching these alternate rumbles make me want to see the SS, WM, and SS! Great content, commentary and great job. I can’t wait for the next one. And hopefully all of the main 4!!
Great idea maybe after the Rumble series???
The Texas tornado looked like a glitch, he got thrown over the top and glitched back in the ring, then he was walking in the corner and I think he was supposed to be walking to the back. Then he vanished bc he went “through the curtain”
Nasty Boy actually did a finisher to eliminate the tornado , but somehow he hit the ring , if you watch at 14:16 they grapple but nasty boy does his rope finisher then the rest is history , he even goes through the elimination animations in the corner.
When Kerry entered the ring the first thing that popped into my head was damn he dies the following year. So imagine me watching him glitch all alone in the corner, nobody “checking on him” and then poof, he disappears! Not to mention my niece reminded me he died days before( early February ) I’m watching it( I didn’t fact check this) and his birthday is coming up. The commentary made it extra scary RIP Kerry!
11:45 You know who else had great chemistry with Gorilla Monsoon RickyJ? Lord Alfred Hayes! Those two were fantastic together. Also anyone with Jesse Ventura were great as well. Thank you for another Epic Rumble! Flair was doing his thing with Heenan going crazy with the announcements. Wooo! Yes Ricky! Macho Man and Jake Roberts had a great fued. 😂
yeah hayes was great back then!!!
YES! Another in our small group of Gorilla and Lord Alfred loving duo! Hayes would be the cheeky little companion to Gorilla, bringing out Gorilla's humor more and I liked that. Their bits about the ladies of WWF were always funny to me...like two teenage boys they were...I believe MSG or the Spectrum telecasts were usually those two
@RickyJSports I have truly been enjoying these Royal Rumble videos. Can someone explain where/how to download these characters? I want to relive these golden years again! Have not bought a wrestling game in 30 years but want this game now.
This was totally different from the real version. I think that's why I love these so much. Awesome video Ricky!!!!!
These are excellent Ricky, I hope you do all of them!
thanks my dude!
That was freaky Sags eliminates him but instead of Texas Tornado going to the floor he lands on the apron and his meter is removed. That is one of the weirdest eliminations in Rumble History crazy Ricky J.
Welcome back Ricky J, I added this Rumble to my playlist!!!! Lets GOOOOO!!!!
woohoo!
Your reaction to the Texas tornado just made my day and made the video even better.
Thank you for the joy this channel bring I can be having a crap day and you post and it’s always laughs so thanks man
My absolute pleasure man
Heenan made that rumble so much better, and monsoon playing off him. Prob the best commentary of a rumble ever too
I always heard that the person Mean Gene was yelling at to put the cigarette out was Pat Patterson. Been loving this series, I can't wait for 95-01 :)That was probably my peak of fandom. Those are some of my favorites even if the matches themselves aren't very good.
Legen thx I needed that answer
@@RickyJSports Hey no problem man.
Stumbled across your channel at random, your commentary is 😂😅. Ric Flair was my favorite wrestler growing up along with Randy Savage and Roddy Piper too many to name so i guess im biased to the '92 Royal Rumble being my favorite. I haven't bought or played a wrestling game since like 2K14 i think so your definitely making me wanna go get it!! Love the channel i subscribed
Thx brother!!!
What about the tombstone that he gave koko b ware? That wasn’t careful
What do you play on? How can i get a these characters from your series?
Ps5
@@RickyJSports I'm on xbox. Figured it out. Can't wait to get going. Love your videos man
Ricky J I truly mean this with this redo rumble you been getting them right with who should have won them
Yeah man I am noticing that too
I admit to you I'm not really a Hogan guy, but if you ever when he ever got eliminated he screws someone over. Big boss man 1989, Sid Justice 1992.
I appreciate your energy and content and history (wwf,wwe etc )
thanks man i have so fun making this
I.r.s. looks like that senator guy from metal gear solid revengance.
I actually met the late John Ritter
That was awesome! SID!! The ruler of the world!! brings back great memories, love these old school Rumbles.
Glad you enjoyed it
It's all about the memories, in this Rumble! Nine Deuce was such a crucial year...I already had 3 younger bros growin up, but I would get to have sleepovers every now and then, meaning up to 5 more of my friends! I started up this "Midnight Wrestling League" where we get the bedroom pitch dark. I coerced my younger bro to join, and soon after the lights went out: BAM! I saw just a flash of light. When I ordered lights on, my lil bro was the one holding the cardboard box that I was clocked with!
"Barbarian doesn't like Flair." - Gorilla Monsoon
"Barbarian doesn't like anyone. When I managed him he barely like me." - Bobby Heenan
Thank you for the memories man!
gotta love that nostalgia! awesome videos, love them
Most eliminations:
6 - Jimmy Snuka
4 - Jerry Saggs
3 - Jake The Snake
2 - Nikolai Volkoff, Big Boss Man, Undertaker, Hulk Hogan
thanks for this bro!
14:25 That Texas Tornado glitch. He was thrown, did the reaction that he got eliminated then walked to the corner. It's funny that glitch wasn't registed
The Texas tornado used flash step to get out of the ring.
Demolition separated in the fall of 1991 and ax left WWE just a year earlier and on TV was mentioned that there can only been two members of demolition
Ric flair was one of the earliest participants in the 1992 royal rumble and lasted the entire thingand one im pretty sure thats unheard of
Ric Flair won in 1992 at №3 at the time nobody who got №1to №5 had lasted until the final 4 . №1 and №2 have won since then the first to win from №1 was Shawn Michaels in 1995 British Bulldog got №2 in 1995 and was runner up the first to win from №2 was Mr McMahon in 1999 he won by eliminating Stone Cold who got №1 .
Good one. I actually met Ted DeBiase in the airport fly from Texas to NM. He is a great down to earth guy.
Virgil and DiBiase had a tag team match against Dusty and Dustin Rhodes at Royal Rumble 1991 after the match Virgil turned against DiBiase and knocked him out with the Million Dollar belt . At WrestleMania 7 Virgil beat DiBiase by count out and at at SummerSlam 1991 Virgil won the Million Dollar belt . They were on opposite team at Survivor Series 1991 .
I'd be up for a big Sid title run now he's a retired pensioner, let alone in 1992. There's just something magic about that guy.
They weren't booing Snuka, they were chanting "SOOOOOOOOOOP!" Dibiase and Virgil parted ways a year earlier at the Rumble.
Actually I think the crowd was chanting "WHOOO! WHOOO!"
Your texas tornado rant had me dying
A Three's Company reference while recreating the '92 Rumble?
Subscribed.
As a Scot I used to watch Wrestling in the UK every Saturday afternoon, and Davey Boy Smith was thin as hell back then, when he went to the WWF he came out as this muscular figure lol He was juiced for sure.
At a about the 14:30 mark Jerry Sags eliminated the Texas Tornado as he was thrown over the rope, the Texas Tornado glitched going over but his name disappeared from bottom. that is why what at about the 15:39 mark of video he disappeared
Nice video series, greetings from Chile
Undertaker wasn't stripped of the belt. They had an event after Survivor Series called "This Tuesday In Texas" in which there was a rematch for the title. Hogan won the rematch with some controversial interference from Ric Flair again. It was after that the title was vacated and decided at the Royal Rumble.
thanks man for the clarification
Just starting the video so LETS GO SID!!!!
The Repo Man was originally Smash. He later had a gig as Hole in One, a golfing wrestler.
Also, Barry Darsow wasn't the original Smash. Moondog Rex was.
The best Rumble was when Cena and Batista fell out the ring at the same time in the end.....and Vince McMahon all pissed off stormed into the ring tearing both his quads
haha yeah Cena was in hot water for messing up the ending
This was the best rumble ever.1-30 are all legends and all had a couple really good runs in their careers.
Yes it was great
The fans weren't booing when Snuka came out. They were mimicking his bark, similar to what they did with Rick Steiner.
Always great to watch another great rumble another great time. In my opinion, the 90s are the best.
Cena and Bautista. I really thought they timed it so they both hit. Craziest thing I ever saw to end a rumble. A tie!! Then being completely baffled as to why Vince was sitting down after storming to the ring!
My dad always said Texas tornado and brothers was good wrestlers and fun to watch it sad what happen to von brothers I found out more about them by watching the movie that came out about them it was a good movie even though they left out some details which is understandable still get movie about them
“The Repo Man’s thinking of his ex-girlfriend and weeping on the turnbuckle”😂😂😂😂😂 ah that really made me laugh! Hahaha
I was never a fan of Sid, either as a heel or face. Was rooting for Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. That was a pretty intense fun rumble to watch. I had a feeling Ric Flair was not going to win? I guess it's good to have a different variety of wrestlers, so congrats to Sid.
So the Texas Tornado..., what happened was Saggs actually eliminated him like Snuka's move to pick him up & throw them over the ropes. That's what happened, but it looked like a glitch when he was supposedly thrown over the ropes & was tangled in the ropes instead, but then the computer counted it as an elimination, hence why TX Tornado looked possessed in the corner? Thanks Ricky, a good rumble to watch! Can't wait to see the 1993 Royal Rumble!
That was the weirdest glitch I have even seen in one of these game plays with the Texas Tornado....Sags threw him out, but he sorta "flipped" back in...but if you look at the bottom of the screen, his power bar disappeared at that point, so he was eliminated when Sags threw him over the top rope...thats why he just started walking like a zombie in the corner...he was gone from the match, but the computer character was still in the ring for some reason lol...thats why he just vanished a couple minutes later...the game realized he was already gone, but forgot to actually remove him when it was supposed to lol...Pretty funny glitch...I wish he stayed stuck in the corner for the whole match lmao
Hogan beat Undertaker in a rematch at This Tuesday In Texas but due to the controversial title changes between the two wrestlers Jack Tunney vacated the title and said whoever won the 1992 Rumble would be the new WWF/WWE champion . Hogan and Undertaker were given preferential treatment in the random draw in that they could randomly pick between 20 and 30 .
You guessed right, Repo Man was Smash from Demolition
Barry Darsow, who was also Krusher Krushchev and the Blacktop Bully
@@christophergarner6815 Also Mr Hole In One Stewart Payne a golfer turned wrestler the name was a reference to Payne Stewart , after the death of Stewart WCW dropped the gimmick .
Shouldn't andre be in the 1989 royal rumble then If savage jumped over the top rope cause andre eliminated himself when jake went at andre
Demolition became a 3 man team in 1990 with Ax , Smash and Crush . Ax left WWE just after Survivor Series 1990 . Crush left in 1991 . Smash was repackaged as Repo Man . Crush returned as a singles wrestler in 1992 and beat Repo Man by submission at SummerSlam 1992 at Wembley Stadium .
The physics of this game with finishers is wild, the bigger the opponent the bigger draw on your characters stamina and will take him a second to get up.
I wish 2K would make it that every time you select The Royal Rumble 92 Set when you have The Royal Rumble Match you win The Championship every time. That would be so cool.
Undertaker and Hogan had a rematch at a PPV called This Tuesday in Texas where Hogan regained the title after throwing ashes into Undertaker's eyes. Due to the shenanigans for both that and the Survivor Series match, Jack Tunney vacated the title and put it up for grabs at the Royal Rumble.
Hogan and Undertaker, as the previous (champions) were given an advantage of being guaranteed a number between 20-30.
If this is now season 10, I'm all for it. You can even extend the season and finish it with a 30+ chanpion rumble.
The undertake take glove off in 1997 to the black one cut off
nice man thanks it looked like it was bugging him!
Sgt Slaughters elimination in the 92 rumble looked painful.
Certainly did when I saw that live on Sky Sports I thought "Damn"
yeah i forgot to mention that.. if you look at the replay.. the fans look down to see if he is okay. He knocked his skull right on the metal post
Totally safe! Slaughter would be stuff like that and more in the 70s. Plus he could play heel or babyface. He was a great wrestler.
It’s definitely my personal fav RR match and it’s certainly one of the best and I honestly believe a lot of that has to do with the commentary from Bobby “The Brain” Heenan. He was hilariously brilliant all throughout the match lol
Hello Mr. Ricky J. I watched your last two rumbles and I heard you mention about your Mount Rushmore of favorite wrestlers. Well if I had a Mount Rushmore of favorite wrestlers my Mount Rushmore would be and all these guys would be during their Babyface days. mine would be.
1. Shawn Michaels
2. Triples H
3. The Rock
with hair
4. The Undertaker
My Mount Rushmore of favorite music would be
1. Ultimate Warrior
2. The second version of The Hardy Boyz
3. LOD
4. Demolition
Aw, man. I was hoping to see someone holding up the classic Winged Eagle at the end of this one. Any chance you can make the rest of the champions Rumbles for a title that the winner gets to hold up at the end of the video +?
Don’t forget Henan’s commentary! He was amazing on mic. Nonstop laughs with him and Monsoon.
yeah they were just great
The rule is if you go over the top rope and both feet touch the floor you are eliminated, Savage I think forgot he was in the Rumble and was doing something for the crowd, and the back team staff must have systematically slapped their heads and came up with something to get him back in lol
Hell yes been waiting on this one
