**spoilers ahead**
If you are a fan of endurance and longevity like I am, then you'll absolutely love this show, preferrably the royal rumble match. While all the regular matches on the card were exciting and entertaining (especially the opening Rockers/Orient Express bout), obviously, none could compare to the 30-man (actually 29-man), over-the-top-rope contest at the end of the show. It is fantastic. Non-stop action and excitement for well over an hour.
Some of the interesting spots in the rumble include the Undertaker (no tattoos), who debuts in his very 1st royal rumble match, and is led to the ring by Brother Love, Rick Martel faking eliminations left and right throughout the battle, and, oh yes, the incredible endurance shown by almost 2-dozen of the participants. I'm not giving away the names, but there were a total of twenty wrestlers involved in the match who ended up remaining inside the ring for ten minutes or more. It's just incredible how there were so many, my goodness. There were also ten wrestlers who lasted twenty minutes or more, and an amazing five guys that lasted for at least 30 or more. Now that's what I love, a true rumble match. In royal rumbles, there are usually two wrestlers that get remembered, the one who wins, and the one who lasts the longest. But in this case, in this show, you can forget about that. It's just brilliant.
Some other interesting and exciting spots in the show: The entire Rockers/Orient Express match, it certainly was a terrific opener with lots of high-flying crowd-pleasing action, Virgil's face turn from that "heel" the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase, the Sensational Sherri/Ultimate Warrior segment....Hell, even the Big Boss Man/Barbarian match was interesting. I loved the entire show, and I will continue to watch it over and over and over again. It is certainly one of my favorites of all time in the Royal Rumble catalog, but nothing could or will ever top the 1992 edition. Thank you.
