92 was overall, a great year I feel. Despite the downturns in business, we saw the historic rises of Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart into the main event and upper midcard respectfully, Ric Flair making his debut and both Macho Man and Roddy Piper holding the top titles.
As great as it was to see Shawn and the Harts in their glory days I feel the debut of Mankind years later made for some of the best televised matches in WWF up to that point. Austin too was apart of that roster.
That rumble was awesome. I clearly remember hoping Piper would win both belts that night. As the Royal Rumble itself progressed you could tell that it was gonna be Flair's night though. And yes I agree The Brain's performance on the mic was a career night also. And, up against everything he did in professional wrestling, that's really saying something. To any younger viewers or any wrestling fans that haven't seen this pay per view, I highly recommend sitting down and watching that whole event. IMO it is one of the best events of that decade and probably the best pre attitude era events WWF did full stop.
1992 is my favorite year and the year I became a wrestling fan. I was born in 88 but Rumble 92,Mania 8 and Summerslam 92 are all my earliest memories of wrestling. I hold this yr really close. Been a Bret Hart fan ever since 💀💕💕💕💕
Yup. There was a definite shift in the second half that took the WWF in a completely different direction. 92-96 was not a good time for the WWF. The best wrestling talent came out the 80s.
The steroid scandal crippled the business. The year started off with maybe the best talent roster it ever had and by the end of the year many of the biggest names were gone. It was a bad time.
The New Generation became official at Wrestlemania 10. I do agree New Generation more or less started end of 1992 or end of 1993 depends how you look at it.
92 was epic. The rumble itself is in my top ten matches of all time (it counts!) Mania had great matches (especially Bret v piper). Summerslam was super, with my favourite match (bulldog v bret) and survivor series (I still remember my dad picking me up from school and telling me Perfect had turned face!) They came to my hometown in 94 (Owen kept pointing and shouting at me!!) I stopped watching all wrestling in 96 - I was drawn back in around 99/2000.
It was a Saturday afternoon during the summer of 1992, I was in my mom’s room I flipping through the channels, trying to find something to watch. A nine year old me came across WWE Superstars, and from that point on………
1992 was a interesting year in the wwf Hogan was gone and we didn't see him until wrestlemania 9 and you saw the rise of Shawn Michaels Bret Hart and many others and some pretty fun storylines at the time.
People rip on Marty for not staying clean, but as a formal party monster myself and still struggling and on methadone for my issues, unless you have been there you don't have a clue how hard it is to even take a short break for your career, it don't work that way
This series is now a must watch for me. I was 6 years-old when Hitman became champ so while I remember people telling me about Hulk-a-mania I was too young to have an emotional attachment. This is when I learned what wrestling is, and should be: The Excellence of Execution.
You never mentioned the Saturday Night main event that was on Fox network shortly after the Royal Rumble. It was the first one that was on television in years.
The work rate/quality in the main event come the end of the year was truly awesome..... Flair/Bret/Savage/HBK/Perfect/Razor.... Just a shame it didn't last.
Shawn Michaels turning on Marty at the Barbershop still to this day is the most iconic moment in WWF history followed by Sensational Sheri getting hit with the mirror by Marty. This is when I feel in love with wrestling at the whopping age of 9 years old 😹❤️💜
Im actually going back and watching the old years. If you go back and recap all the years like you did with this one, that would be awesome! Coincidentally, I am watching first season of Raw and this video is perfect!
6:41 it was a possible swanson, but he came back 10 months later. WWF was the end of a era of the golden wrestlers. And in general also. Bret was launched at the right time as a main event player.
Great video! I remember that Hart vs Smith match in 92. The ovation after Davey won was epic. I thought u were going to talk about that ring boys scandal a little more as it got mainstream attention as well. Crazy stuff man! Good job Andy.
Great vid! I loved shawn micheals in the early 90's bret and the undertaker was great too but i was watching wcw caused i liked the dangerous alliance! Great time then!
Yeah I was watching WCW as well. Steamboat and Rude were both there. I always liked Sting. Arn Anderson was always a classic. Jake the snake Roberts would be over there soon and I also liked cactus jack bang bang!!!!
Still don't understand the rush to get the belt off Macho in late 92... on a TV taping of all places! Should've kept it on him to build up to Macho Man vs Hitman at WM9.
Great video! W8 was a botched opportunity for WWF though. Flair vs Hogan should have been the main event. The house circuit may not have drawn the crowds, but I knew tons of people expecting it to be W8 main event (and disappointed that it was not). I remember Sid vs Hogan being a rather boring main event (plus it was the first without the title as the main attraction). Sid kicking out of Hogan's leg drop was the beginning of the end for finishers always leading to a pinfall. I never felt the British Bulldog was a legit singles wrestler though. He was always associated with Dynamite Kid and their tag team. 1992 was Bret Hart's year no doubt. Michaels was rocketing up as well.
At 5:25, the Natural Disasters did NOT defeat Money Inc. for the tag team titles. Earthquake & Typhoon won via count out and did not win the gold on this occasion.
Brilliant video upload thanks really enjoyed watching it everything about the video different matches like ive got them all on tagged classic dvds I've got the UK ranpage 92 and 93 on dvd very rare to to get on dvds now bloody brilliant done at Sheffield arena thanks again anyway ok 👍
Unfortunately by then Kerry Von Erich was too far gone in all the drugs by then to even be trusted as anything more than as an enhancement talent let alone WWF champion

@@WRESTLEWITHANDY The story of the episode was WWF was close to going out of business due to the WCW war and couldn't afford Bret anymore, so Vince nobly allowed Hart out of his contract so he could negotiate a better deal with WCW. Actually, Dave says, Vince first talked to Bret about deferring some of his contract to later on but that was a couple months earlier. At the time, WWF really was having some financial struggles, but it's an exaggeration to say they were almost driven out of business. They were never even close. But regardless, that's irrelevant because in Sept. 97, they raised the price of PPVs by $10. That added revenue, which was nearly $1 million per month in pure profit, was easily enough to get them out of financial trouble. By the time Survivor Series 97 rolled around, WWF was doing just fine, money-wise, and were only a couple months away from catching fire and getting nuclear hot. So no, they did not need to get rid of Bret's contract. And in fact, in October, a couple weeks before Survivor Series, Vince changed his mind and asked Bret to stay, saying that the financial situation had turned around. But by this point, Hart's negotiations with turned around. But by this point, Hart's negotiations with WCW were full speed ahead and Vince allowed Hart to continue negotiating. But after talking to both sides, it was clear Vince had no real plan for Bret and he didn't really seem like he wanted to keep him, so Bret took the WCW deal and the rest is history. But of course, none of that is mentioned in this show. The episode also claimed Hart refused to drop the title to anyone (again, not true. Only Shawn. Bret even offered to lose it to Brooklyn Brawler if they wanted. In fact, Dave breaks down all the different scenarios that were presented here, and Bret was willing to lose the title to anyone other than Shawn, anywhere other than that show in Montreal, at any date before or after the PPV. They had actually presented Bret with dozens of different scenarios, all of which he agreed to, only for Vince to keep coming back around to Shawn at Survivor Series, which was the one anuntil Dec. 1st, and he was booked on more than a dozen house shows after Survivor Series and had even agreed to work the early December PPV because Bischoff had given his blessing. There was zero chance Bret was going to show up with the belt on Nitro. There was concern that Bischoff would go on Nitro the next day and announce he had signed Bret, and Dave says it's true that Bischoff certainly was planning to do that. But Bret had also asked Bischoff to hold off on the announcement and Bischoff had agreed. Vince knew about that too, but in recorded conversations with Bret (from the Wrestling With Shadows documentary), Vince didn't seem concerned since the word was already out and everyone knew Bret was leaving already. This just goes on and on. We all know the story already. Anyway, TL;DR - interesting show, but WWE's version of the story is bullshit. But we all knew that.
@@WRESTLEWITHANDY Time for some number crunching, as Dave looks at both WWF and WCW and compares TV ratings and house show attendance numbers for the last 5 years in great detail. There's a lot of numbers and stuff here but I'll try to sum it up easily. When it comes to WCW, they're obviously in the midst of their hottest run ever. But there's a misconception that WCW winning the cable ratings war is some new thing, when in reality, WCW has pretty much always beaten WWF in cable ratings, with the Saturday Night show beating early Raw and Prime Time ratings all the time, but they weren't in prime time. And no one really paid attention until the companies began going head-to-head on Monday nights. The truth is, yes, WCW is winning the war but the alleged "decline of WWF" is overrated. 1996 was WWF's strongest house show year since 1991, even though their TV ratings have hit new lows. But overall, WWF is still doing strong business everywhere else and TV ratings haven't shown to have that much effect on ticket sales. In fact, WWF's house show business grew at a faster rate than WCW's did last year and with increased ticket prices, their house fact, WWF's house show business grew at a faster rate than WCW's did last year and with increased ticket prices, their house show business became even more profitable. There's a perception from people who believe the Monday night ratings are the entire business and believe WWF is in trouble because they're losing the ratings war, but overall, they're still pretty strong (I find stuff like this interesting, because the revisionist version of history is that WCW damn near put WWF out of business until Vince heroically fought back and conquered his enemy. Reality is, they were never even remotely in danger of it and aside from TV ratings, they were doing their best business in years on every other front. Sure, they were a distant second in TV ratings but in all other aspects of the business, WCW was only barely winning)
My favorite year in wrestling altogether. 92 wwf and 92 wcw were the best quality wrestling to me. I even have a top 10 of my favorite 92 matches. 10. Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels Ladder Match 9. Pillman vs. Liger-Superbrawl 8. Sting vs. Cactus Jack-Beach Blast 7. Bret Hart vs. Roddy Piper-Wrestlemania 8 6. Flair vs. Savage-Wrestlemania 8 5. Sting vs. Vadet-GAB 4. Royal Rumble match 3. Wargames-Wrestle War 2. Rick Rude vs. Ricky Steamboat-Beach Blast 1. Bret Hart vs. Bulldog-Summerslam
92' was a good year. Hogan and Warrior era transitioned to Bret and Shawn. Bret vs Shawn at Survivor series 92' was the best match they had I think. Mania 12 match was good but Shawn didn't wrestle the way he usually did, he wrestled a more technical mat based style in that match. Survivor Series 97' was good because of the feud and the controversy surrounding it, and they had a nice brawl, but overall If I want to watch them wrestle I like their 1992 match the best. It's a shame they didn't have a few early In Your House matches or something. Also they had a ladder match in 92' but I think I've only seen it one on a grainy youtube video.
Bret Hart: - The Hitman - The Best there is The Best there was The Best there will ever be - The Canadian - Montreal - 1992 King of the Ring - 6× time WWE Champion - 2× time WCW Champion - The Icon - The G.O.A.T - Sharpshooter
The 1992 Royal Rumble is the greatest Rumble of all time in my opinion. Ric winning the Rumble and WWE title, debut of Razor Ramon, the rise of Shawn Michaels, Bret vs the Bulldog with their classic at SummerSlam in Wembley stadium later that year, Hart vs Piper at WrestleMania 8, Bret becoming World Champion for the 1st time. 1992 was a great year.
Love these year in reviews!! Will u ever do the 80s?? Edit- I believe the 92, 2001, 2002 rumbles were the best.. Believe you me the Hulkster's elimination hurt his ego Savage NEVER disappointed at Mania
I know a lot of people were upset that we didn't get Flair/Hogan at Mania that year but the match we got was no slouch either. Macho Man Randy Savage grabbed that brass ring again and became a 2x WWF World Champion. Originally, SummerSlam was going to be held at the USAir Arena in Landover, MD and Bret was going to drop the IC Title to Shawn that night but he pitched dropping it to Bulldog if the event were held in London. 1992 was the very first year that I was a huge fan of the WWF and I enjoyed watching it as I was still very much a mark of the product. I remained a huge fan until 2007/2008 when I began to lose interest in the current product.
Year of my birth!! 92 gang wya. Wish i could have been conscious to witness the early 90s, seemed like such a genuinely fun and goofy time in between the coke fueled 80s and grungy late 90s
Just one title change you missed. The Natural Disasters dropped the tag tittles to Money Inc on a tapped Wrestling Challenge in October 1992 when the Million Dollar Man beat Earthquake with a Million Dollar Dream. There was a lot of tittle changes of PPV & on house shows in 1992.
@@lexkanyima2195 shame that Warrior and Davey Boy Smith getting fired that year was looking forward to seeing the Warrior and Macho Man take on Ric Flair and Razor Ramon at Survivor series it would have been the first time that Warrior and Ramon would face each other
To be fair the traditional Survivor Series matches continued into '93, '94, '95 and beyond. Although, admittedly more single bouts were finding their way into the card...
Can you make a quick video about Mandy that was with Too cool and Victoria during the fall and end of 2000 with the WWF so she can respond if you have time? Thanks
One thing i hate about the WWF is how it casually breaks it’s own rules. Hogan helping Flair eliminate Sid is interference and so it cant be a legitimate win for Flair….yet they kept the show going….they done this numerous times over the years. Like how originally using closed fist strikes in wrestling was illegal and called out by ref but inexplicably it became legal when Stonr Cold used closed fists in every match without gettinh DQ’d for that

6:41 it was a possible swanson, but he came back 10 months later. WWF was the end of a era of the golden wrestlers. And in general also. Bret was launched at the right time as a main event player.
Great video! I remember that Hart vs Smith match in 92. The ovation after Davey won was epic. I thought u were going to talk about that ring boys scandal a little more as it got mainstream attention as well. Crazy stuff man! Good job Andy.
Great vid! I loved shawn micheals in the early 90's bret and the undertaker was great too but i was watching wcw caused i liked the dangerous alliance! Great time then!
Yeah I was watching WCW as well. Steamboat and Rude were both there. I always liked Sting. Arn Anderson was always a classic. Jake the snake Roberts would be over there soon and I also liked cactus jack bang bang!!!!
Glad I found your channel. These are so good!
I love these YEAR IN REVIEWS. Please keep making more of these.
The moment you see your trainer in old WWF pictures lol
Still don't understand the rush to get the belt off Macho in late 92... on a TV taping of all places! Should've kept it on him to build up to Macho Man vs Hitman at WM9.
Great video! W8 was a botched opportunity for WWF though. Flair vs Hogan should have been the main event. The house circuit may not have drawn the crowds, but I knew tons of people expecting it to be W8 main event (and disappointed that it was not). I remember Sid vs Hogan being a rather boring main event (plus it was the first without the title as the main attraction). Sid kicking out of Hogan's leg drop was the beginning of the end for finishers always leading to a pinfall. I never felt the British Bulldog was a legit singles wrestler though. He was always associated with Dynamite Kid and their tag team. 1992 was Bret Hart's year no doubt. Michaels was rocketing up as well.
It's crazy how much wwe changed from 1992 to 1999
True
Attitude Era thanks to the NWO. Just wait for the 1995 video. The company hit rock bottom
At 5:25, the Natural Disasters did NOT defeat Money Inc. for the tag team titles. Earthquake & Typhoon won via count out and did not win the gold on this occasion.
Brilliant video upload thanks really enjoyed watching it everything about the video different matches like ive got them all on tagged classic dvds I've got the UK ranpage 92 and 93 on dvd very rare to to get on dvds now bloody brilliant done at Sheffield arena thanks again anyway ok 👍
Those glasses Bret wore are so iconic that many in my school wore them.
Would have been cool to see Kerry von Erich beat Flair for the WWF title and the NWA title
Unfortunately by then Kerry Von Erich was too far gone in all the drugs by then to even be trusted as anything more than as an enhancement talent let alone WWF champion
He committed suicide that year didn't he? 92 ? I'm going to search that and come back.
Feb 18 93 I apologize.
I love it as Wrestle with Andy keeps saying "Party Marty" LOL
Another fantastic documentary, thanks Andy!
Appreciate the support 🤟🏻👊🏻💪🏻

@@WRESTLEWITHANDY The story of the episode was WWF was close to going out of business due to the WCW war and couldn't afford Bret anymore, so Vince nobly allowed Hart out of his contract so he could negotiate a better deal with WCW. Actually, Dave says, Vince first talked to Bret about deferring some of his contract to later on but that was a couple months earlier. At the time, WWF really was having some financial struggles, but it's an exaggeration to say they were almost driven out of business. They were never even close. But regardless, that's irrelevant because in Sept. 97, they raised the price of PPVs by $10. That added revenue, which was nearly $1 million per month in pure profit, was easily enough to get them out of financial trouble. By the time Survivor Series 97 rolled around, WWF was doing just fine, money-wise, and were only a couple months away from catching fire and getting nuclear hot. So no, they did not need to get rid of Bret's contract. And in fact, in October, a couple weeks before Survivor Series, Vince changed his mind and asked Bret to stay, saying that the financial situation had turned around. But by this point, Hart's negotiations with turned around. But by this point, Hart's negotiations with WCW were full speed ahead and Vince allowed Hart to continue negotiating. But after talking to both sides, it was clear Vince had no real plan for Bret and he didn't really seem like he wanted to keep him, so Bret took the WCW deal and the rest is history. But of course, none of that is mentioned in this show. The episode also claimed Hart refused to drop the title to anyone (again, not true. Only Shawn. Bret even offered to lose it to Brooklyn Brawler if they wanted. In fact, Dave breaks down all the different scenarios that were presented here, and Bret was willing to lose the title to anyone other than Shawn, anywhere other than that show in Montreal, at any date before or after the PPV. They had actually presented Bret with dozens of different scenarios, all of which he agreed to, only for Vince to keep coming back around to Shawn at Survivor Series, which was the one anuntil Dec. 1st, and he was booked on more than a dozen house shows after Survivor Series and had even agreed to work the early December PPV because Bischoff had given his blessing. There was zero chance Bret was going to show up with the belt on Nitro. There was concern that Bischoff would go on Nitro the next day and announce he had signed Bret, and Dave says it's true that Bischoff certainly was planning to do that. But Bret had also asked Bischoff to hold off on the announcement and Bischoff had agreed. Vince knew about that too, but in recorded conversations with Bret (from the Wrestling With Shadows documentary), Vince didn't seem concerned since the word was already out and everyone knew Bret was leaving already. This just goes on and on. We all know the story already. Anyway, TL;DR - interesting show, but WWE's version of the story is bullshit. But we all knew that.
@@WRESTLEWITHANDY Time for some number crunching, as Dave looks at both WWF and WCW and compares TV ratings and house show attendance numbers for the last 5 years in great detail. There's a lot of numbers and stuff here but I'll try to sum it up easily. When it comes to WCW, they're obviously in the midst of their hottest run ever. But there's a misconception that WCW winning the cable ratings war is some new thing, when in reality, WCW has pretty much always beaten WWF in cable ratings, with the Saturday Night show beating early Raw and Prime Time ratings all the time, but they weren't in prime time. And no one really paid attention until the companies began going head-to-head on Monday nights. The truth is, yes, WCW is winning the war but the alleged "decline of WWF" is overrated. 1996 was WWF's strongest house show year since 1991, even though their TV ratings have hit new lows. But overall, WWF is still doing strong business everywhere else and TV ratings haven't shown to have that much effect on ticket sales. In fact, WWF's house show business grew at a faster rate than WCW's did last year and with increased ticket prices, their house fact, WWF's house show business grew at a faster rate than WCW's did last year and with increased ticket prices, their house show business became even more profitable. There's a perception from people who believe the Monday night ratings are the entire business and believe WWF is in trouble because they're losing the ratings war, but overall, they're still pretty strong (I find stuff like this interesting, because the revisionist version of history is that WCW damn near put WWF out of business until Vince heroically fought back and conquered his enemy. Reality is, they were never even remotely in danger of it and aside from TV ratings, they were doing their best business in years on every other front. Sure, they were a distant second in TV ratings but in all other aspects of the business, WCW was only barely winning)
My favorite year in wrestling altogether. 92 wwf and 92 wcw were the best quality wrestling to me. I even have a top 10 of my favorite 92 matches.
10. Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels Ladder Match
9. Pillman vs. Liger-Superbrawl
8. Sting vs. Cactus Jack-Beach Blast
7. Bret Hart vs. Roddy Piper-Wrestlemania 8
6. Flair vs. Savage-Wrestlemania 8
5. Sting vs. Vadet-GAB
4. Royal Rumble match
3. Wargames-Wrestle War
2. Rick Rude vs. Ricky Steamboat-Beach Blast
1. Bret Hart vs. Bulldog-Summerslam
92' was a good year. Hogan and Warrior era transitioned to Bret and Shawn. Bret vs Shawn at Survivor series 92' was the best match they had I think. Mania 12 match was good but Shawn didn't wrestle the way he usually did, he wrestled a more technical mat based style in that match. Survivor Series 97' was good because of the feud and the controversy surrounding it, and they had a nice brawl, but overall If I want to watch them wrestle I like their 1992 match the best. It's a shame they didn't have a few early In Your House matches or something. Also they had a ladder match in 92' but I think I've only seen it one on a grainy youtube video.
In Your House did not exist in 1992
@@pablosanchez6558 in 95' it would have been a great match at the early IN Your House ppvs.
LOVE These year reviews..really takes me back. Love this channel
Bret Hart:
- The Hitman
- The Best there is The Best there was The Best there will ever be
- The Canadian
- Montreal
- 1992 King of the Ring
- 6× time WWE Champion
- 2× time WCW Champion
- The Icon
- The G.O.A.T
- Sharpshooter
The 1992 Royal Rumble is the greatest Rumble of all time in my opinion. Ric winning the Rumble and WWE title, debut of Razor Ramon, the rise of Shawn Michaels, Bret vs the Bulldog with their classic at SummerSlam in Wembley stadium later that year, Hart vs Piper at WrestleMania 8, Bret becoming World Champion for the 1st time. 1992 was a great year.
Wwf
15:00 the early stages of the Brett Hart - Shawn Michaels rivalry.
Love these year in reviews!! Will u ever do the 80s??
Edit- I believe the 92, 2001, 2002 rumbles were the best..
Believe you me the Hulkster's elimination hurt his ego
Savage NEVER disappointed at Mania
WWF 1992 was the best with the Attitude Era rightfully taking the #1 spot
My favorite year of WWF!
Flashback in the 90's
This is so good! I can't wait till you get to 1997 and 1998!!!
Still amazes me to this day that Marty Jannetty cowardly dived through a window to escape Shawn Michaels
😀
Lol
Please keep going 93 onward!!! You are the best 🙏🏾
Thanks Andy
Appreciate the support man 💪🏻🤘🏻
I know a lot of people were upset that we didn't get Flair/Hogan at Mania that year but the match we got was no slouch either. Macho Man Randy Savage grabbed that brass ring again and became a 2x WWF World Champion. Originally, SummerSlam was going to be held at the USAir Arena in Landover, MD and Bret was going to drop the IC Title to Shawn that night but he pitched dropping it to Bulldog if the event were held in London. 1992 was the very first year that I was a huge fan of the WWF and I enjoyed watching it as I was still very much a mark of the product. I remained a huge fan until 2007/2008 when I began to lose interest in the current product.
Great job as always. It’s tough to come up with content that hasn’t been heard before especially with all of the podcasts readily available.
Awesome video and well said I think you said it the best
Year of my birth!! 92 gang wya. Wish i could have been conscious to witness the early 90s, seemed like such a genuinely fun and goofy time in between the coke fueled 80s and grungy late 90s
I absolutely love these videos.
Appreciate it man 👊🏻🤘🏻💪🏻🤟🏻
The 92 Rumble is my favorite Rumble match ever, and Wrestlemania 8 is my favorite Mania ever.
I’ve seen every 1992 ppv…I never realized until now 😂
Just one title change you missed. The Natural Disasters dropped the tag tittles to Money Inc on a tapped Wrestling Challenge in October 1992 when the Million Dollar Man beat Earthquake with a Million Dollar Dream. There was a lot of tittle changes of PPV & on house shows in 1992.
92 was awesome
You should a year in review for WCW also. It gives a reference of what was going on between the two biggest companies at a given time.
🤜🏾🤛🏾
Hitman won the title at a Prime Time wrestling taping. The next day in Regina SK at Superstars taping he was announced as champ
Of course 1992 was awesome, because it's the year I was born 😎
Highlight of 1992 was the masterpiece of Bret vs. Bulldog at Wembley. Simple amazing.
Great stuff the year in review is really well done and amazing videos
I remember this year very well.... one of the BEST wwe ever had!!! And the talent....top notch 👌 💪🤩
LOVED THE VIDEO, SMASHED THE LIKE BUTTON, MORE PLEASE🤣
Like these videos, any chance you could wind back and do 87, 88 and 89 before you go way ahead... I started with Wrestlemania III
3 things What I liked about in 1992. of the WWF Summerslam at Wembley and Bret Hart winning the world heavyweight championship and the slam jam song
It was his best year
Definitely his best year Bret Hart became the face of the WWF
Wwf
@@lexkanyima2195 shame that Warrior and Davey Boy Smith getting fired that year was looking forward to seeing the Warrior and Macho Man take on Ric Flair and Razor Ramon at Survivor series it would have been the first time that Warrior and Ramon would face each other
@@wadepool8081 indeed
🔥 vid
Back in the day when there was only 4 PPVs. Royal Rumble in January, Wrestlemania in April, Summerslam in August and Survivor Series in November?
To be fair the traditional Survivor Series matches continued into '93, '94, '95 and beyond. Although, admittedly more single bouts were finding their way into the card...
is there also 1993 ? love these videos
Yeah man, uploaded 1993 today, check it out on the channel 👊🏻🤘🏻
Gonna love this one!
Can you make a quick video about Mandy that was with Too cool and Victoria during the fall and end of 2000 with the WWF so she can respond if you have time? Thanks
One thing i hate about the WWF is how it casually breaks it’s own rules. Hogan helping Flair eliminate Sid is interference and so it cant be a legitimate win for Flair….yet they kept the show going….they done this numerous times over the years. Like how originally using closed fist strikes in wrestling was illegal and called out by ref but inexplicably it became legal when Stonr Cold used closed fists in every match without gettinh DQ’d for that
There’s no DQ’s in the rumble
The absolute BEST Royal Rumble EVER
I guess nailz really got into his gimmick.
March 25, 1991 - April 5, 1992

We really need a Nailz tell-all interview or something
Mr Perfect was super underrated imo.....and so is staying up all night doing crack cocaine
Only just noticed the UK SummerSlam floor seating was a Union Jack :)
Small note: the Natural Disasters beat Money Inc. at WM8 by countout... They didn't beat Money Inc. for the titles until that Summer in Worcester, MA...a show I was personally at, no less...
What was the finish? I always wondered how the Disasters won the title.
