Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

In reviewing the four previous Royal Rumble installments before this one, one of my chief complaints on every single one of them was the event was used more as a vehicle for Wrestlemania than as a stand-alone event. Well, this changed with Royal Rumble 1992, where the WWF World Championship Belt was at stake for the winner of the big Rumble.Unfortunately, what with the decreased popularity of Hulk Hogan (one can only be on top for so long) and the utter failure of the Ultimate Warrior character to carry that torch, there really were no interesting plot angles to keep things fun and interesting. The WWF still didn't quite know what to do with Randy "Macho Man" Savage, the Hulk-Sid Justice feud was never all it was hyped to be, and Ric Flair as a major participant in the WWF cannon...you have to be kidding me. It just goes to show how desperate the company was at that time to procure top-tier athletes and entertainers.Thus, although the stakes for this Royal Rumble were higher than they had ever been before, the entire event fizzled due to lack of interesting characters or impressive athletes. The preliminary matches are almost unwatchable, the Rumble features genuine excitement only for about every fifth or sixth participant, and even the broadcast booth isn't as strong as it once was, this time populated by Gorilla Monsoon (always very good) and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan (a terrible "negative man" compared to Jesse Ventura).Unless you are a huge WWF fan and are watching all the events in order, this is one you could easily skip, as it will leave you unsatisfied and feel like a huge waste of time.

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.

wow, I watched this one live as a kid and my heart was beating. Owen Hart carried the opener to a great match. It was good to see Piper finally get a title. Beverlys and Bushwhackers sucked. LOD and Disasters was not bad but LOD should have gone over. Ric Flair killed it in the Rumble it's the best performance in Rumble history. His confrontations with Piper, Valentine, Bulldog, Hogan and so many others made that match. Savage running around like a maniac looking for Jake Roberts was also great. The ending was done really well upsetting me and I was 9! If Hogan could've made me mad at 9 there must have been a lot of mad people. It's too bad that for whichever reason Sid didn't get the big face push he deseved at the time he would have been over the top. It was an outstanding event

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.
