7 Things You Should Know About WWE Royal Rumble 1992

The 1992 Royal Rumble was the most unique Rumble PPV of all time because it's the only time the WWE Title was up for grabs in the Royal Rumble match. Due to that reason, it was arguably the most important Rumble match ever. It's actually surprising that WWE hasn't duplicated that aspect of the show because it put such a huge importance on the winner of the match. Perhaps it is something that Vince McMahon only wanted to do one time and never again, which makes a lot of sense. The WWE Title was up for grabs because of controversial finishes in matches between Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker. This was only a year after Undertaker's debut and he was a heel. Due to the controversy, WWE President Jack Tunney vacated the title and announced that the winner of the match would be the new WWE Champion. Hogan and Undertaker were promised spots between 20 and 30 although we would have to watch the show to find out. In the undercard, they actually had two title matches. That's a nice change from some of the previous years when the Rumble PPV lacked title matches. The fifth Royal Rumble event took place in Albany, New York on January 19, 1992.
