This is my favorite
Royal Rumble moment, the night the real World Champion was crowned. President
Jack Tunney stripped the title from Hulk Hogan, because of two controversial
title changes between Undertake & the Hogan, so the title was on the line
during this particular Royal Rumble. Ric
Flair entered the Rumble as the third man and was in the match for over one
hour. On this evening the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair out lasted 29 other men, to become
the undisputed WWF Heavyweight Champion. The post-match interview proves that
Ric Flair was the greatest wrestler on the mic, and that he can be a star in
any Wrestling Organization. The “finish” has always bothered me, but now that I
am older I realized that WWE doesn’t “push” anything that wasn’t created by
them. The fact that this man was a former NWA & WCW champion means nothing
to the WWE, they need to make it seem that without the almighty Hulk Hogan,
Flair would have never thrown Sid Justice over the top rope. Probably this is
the way poor Daniel Bryan feels right now. Bryan is regarded as one of the
greatest Independent Wrestler’s in history, and he has not defeated any of the
top superstars in the WWE, cleanly. Bryan keep your head up, and remember that
the fans can always make you a star , look at CM Punk, seven year ago no one believed this guy can
be a Superstar, but he is on top of the WWE right now.
