10 best Royal Rumble performances ever

#2 Ric Flair - 1992

With a tear in his eye, the greatest moment of his life

After being the flagship performer of the NWA throughout the 80's, the 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair shockingly came to the WWE after a fall out with WCW boss Jim Herd. Just a few months after his debut, Ric would enter the 1992 Royal Rumble match, which would feature something a little different that year, instead of advancing to face the WWE Champion at WrestleMania, this match was for the then vacated WWE Championship.

Ric Flair entered the match at number #3 and eliminated 5 men over the course of 1 hour to win the match and his first WWE Championship. This was the first time someone would enter the match so early and go the distance. Flair entered one of the best if not arguably the best performance of his career and upstaged the like of Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Randy Savage and more.
