The 1992 Royal Rumble: WWE's Most Talented Rumble?
The 1992 Royal Rumble was a star-studded affair. This was the first and only time that the Royal Rumble match was for the World Heavyweight championship. In the match there were 11 current WWE Hall of Famers and at least five more who will soon be in. This Royal Rumble should go down as the most talented Royal Rumble ever. Should it be considered the best Rumble ever as well?
The British Bulldog
1 of 17
The individual who drew No. 1 was The British Bulldog, who lasted 23-plus minutes in the match and had three eliminations. The British Bulldog should be in the WWE Hall of Fame one day. He was a two-time tag champion, two-time Hardcore and European champion and an Intercontinental Champion.
The Million Dollar Man

A young Shawn Michaels competed in this star-studded Rumble, Michaels was beginning his heel run as the Heart Break Kid. He lasted 15 minutes and had one elimination.

Jake "The Snake" Roberts has never held any titles in the WWE, yet he is still considered one of the best wrestlers in the history of WWE due to his in-ring psychology. Jake is a fan favorite and feuded with some of the biggest names in the WWE. Roberts held titles in the AWA and NWA. I think he should be part of the Hall of Fame.
