Ric Flair (jan 19, 1992 – apr 5, 1992)
Description:
WWE ChampionshipEver since coming over from WCW, Ric Flair had been professing that he was the real heavyweight champion. He flaunted his "Championship" title claiming it was the only one that mattered. The Royal Rumble was his chance to put his money where his mouth was. He had to outlast 30 other men to become the undisputed WWE Champion and that's exactly what he did. Things didn't look good in the beginning, though, as he drew No. 3, but he fought for more than an hour. Along with Flair in the final four were "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Sid Justice and Hulk Hogan. Justice was able to eliminate Savage and Hogan, but Hogan didn't take to kindly to the elimination. He held onto Justice from the outside, allowing Flair to dump the big man for the win and his first WWE Championship.
