WWE: 6 Reasons Why 1992 Royal Rumble Match Is The Best Ever

1. Ric Flair's Performance Was Masterful

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL7CbabY0Y4 To say that Flair carried the match would be unfair to the other 29 guys because a lot of them did a great job and played big roles in the match, but there's no question that Flair was undoubtedly the MVP of the match. They really featured Flair as the guy to be the main guy in the match. That's exactly what he was. Flair lasted the longest in the match by going 59:26 as the 3rd man in. He was responsible for the elimination of five men: British Bulldog, Texas Tornado, Big Boss Man, Randy Savage and Sid Justice. Savage would be his opponent at WrestleMania 8 a couple of months later, so it was smart to have Flair eliminate him here. A lot of the guys attacked him when they got in the ring whether they were heel or face. It was as if he was the guy that had the target in his back because he came from the NWA/WCW and they didn't want him to win the match. He did so many Flair flops and had so many moments where it looked like he was going to get eliminated. This was before the days where Shawn Michaels would skin the cat all the time and people would copy him. It was more basic moves to save himself, but Flair did everything he could to hang on. A lot of big names in wrestling history like Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels and Triple H have mentioned many times that Flair's right near the top if not at the very top when it comes to listing the greatest wrestlers of all-time. Flair showed everybody with his performance at the 1992 Royal Rumble that he truly is one of the greatest wrestlers ever. It was Flair at his absolute best. Woo!
