Looking forward to this, wondering who you are going to have win other than Flair. This should be good, hoping you keep it going for a while.

'92 was a really interesting time in the WWF, as there are so many directions you can go with this. I'd love to see Perfect be all "screw the managerial contract, I'm winning the title" and do so, but he was still sitting out injury-wise, although I believe his back was fine by that point.

The WWF Presents The Royal Rumble!:The New Foundation beat the Orient Express: [/u] A decent at best opener, but it was basically a squash. Owen won with a small package on Tanaka. (67%) Promo: Hulk Hogan[/u] Hogan was backstage with Mean Gene. He said that tonight, he's taking back the WWF Title, no matter who he has to go through. He said that he will win it all three years in a row. WHATCHA GONNA DO, WHEN THE LARGEST ARMS IN THE WORLD RUMBLE ON THROUGH!? WWF Intercontinental Title: The Mountie beat Roddy Piper[/u] This was a better match than expected. Mountie won the belt recently from Bret, while Bret had a fever. Mountie attacked Piper after said match. Here, Mountie won by shocking Piper after Jimmy Hart distracted the ref. Mountie and Hart ran away post-match, Piper looked livid. (78%) Promo: Legion of Doom[/u] Hawk opened with, "IF LIFE..IS LIKE A ROLLER COASTER..THAN YOU DON'T WANNA TAKE A RIDE ON EITHER OF US." They proceeded to hype their match with Typhoon and Earthquake, saying that they were going to take them out once and for all. WWF Tag Titles: Legion of Doom beat The Natural Disasters[/u] Another good match, all four men gave it their all. Jimmy Hart got sent to the back early on after holding Hawk's foot when Typhoon pinned him. The Legion retained when Animal powerslammed Typhoon. (62%) Hype: Royal Rumble Promos[/u] We saw promos from Jake Roberts, Randy Savage, Sid, Hogan, Undertaker, El Matador, and British Bulldog. The common theme between the interviews: Every man is gunning for the WWF Title. Every man wants that win. Every man is looking for the top spot. WWF Championship Royal Rumble: Sid Justice (Entrant #30) eliminated Hulk Hogan (Entrant #27) to win the WWF Title[/u] The final six men were Ric Flair (Entrant #28), Randy Savage (Entrant #1), Rick Martel (Entrant #29), Hulk Hogan (Entrant #27), Warlord (Entrant #20), and Sid Justice (Entrant #30). Martel was eliminated by Hogan, Savage was thrown out by Justice. Flair eliminated Warlord. Hogan eliminated Flair, and Flair assisted Sid in becoming WWF Champion. He celebrated with the belt as we go off the air. (53%) [/center]

I actually predicted Sid winning, mostly because I thought you might go with Flair/Hogan at Mania.
I'm looking forward to seeing more from this diary. Good Rumble, glad Sid won. Hoping for some awesome matches at Mania.

Sid was a pretty good choice for champ although Piper would've been BETTER It opens a lot of doors for Mania, wondering where you go. Good show.

That was amazing.
Having Hulk Hogan lose the rumble made my day. Good to see the tag titles on the LOD. I am SO going to be reading this diary, I'm looking forward to your amazing work.

I never was too high on Sid but he is still an interesting choice as champ. Retro diaries are always good fun and I expect this to be no different. Keep it up.

Diary looks very interesting. I do question Sid winning the title, since personally, I don't think he was ready at the time. But this leaves the door open to go many directions.
Could see Perhaps a Savage/Justice feud (might be interesting) which would leave a Hogan/Flair feud (really hope you do this). Perhaps you'll bring the Warrior back to fight for the championship, which that would be pretty cool as well, just by name value alone. I do hope that he'll be back and actually hyped for some form of contest at WM.

I really like this "what If..." concept. Yeah same card, but some changes, sorta glad The Mountie won, he could have a nice long heel title reign. LOD retained, Rumble was good. I don't really like that Sid won, but It's better than Hogan, can't wait to see the fallout.

WRESTLING NEWSLETTER:[/u]
- The WWF is planning to split the New Foundation for a "reformation" of Strike Force. The speculated team right now would be Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty. The team is set to debut around WrestleMania.
- The lead candidate to face Sid at WrestleMania VIII is the Undertaker. Other names that were brought up were Jake Roberts, Ted DiBiase, and Ric Flair. But it's most likely right now that Undertaker will be facing Sid for the title at WrestleMania VIII.
- The second half of WrestleMania's 'double main event' is expected to be Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair. This match is just about as likely as you can get.
- Leading into WrestleMania VIII, we're expected to have "The Model" Rick Martel taking on a face Intercontinental Champion. Now obviously WWF management does not want to turn The Mountie face, so they may have him drop the belt before then.
- "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka was released from the WWF the night after the Rumble for reasons unknown at this time.
- All Japan Prowrestling is expected to send over two men for an AJPW vs. WWF Tag Match at WrestleMania VIII.
- Shawn Michaels is expected to find a partner and feud with the newly recreated Strike Force going into WrestleMania.

credit to stuffsPrime Time Wrestling 1/20/92 [/u] We opened up with a recap video of how Sid won the WWF Title in the Royal Rumble. We moved on to Heenan and Gorilla, who talk about who Sid's first challenger might be. Gorilla says one man has already threw his hat into the hunt, and here he is now. Promo: Undertaker[/u] The Undertaker laid down a challenge to Sid Justice. He told Sid that at WrestleMania VIII, he would Rest...in...Peace. (83%) Repo Man def. Barry Horowitz[/u] A semi-short squash, Repo totally dominated. Repo used the Crow Bar on Horowitz to win. (64%) Promo: Hulk Hogan[/u] Hogan is shown, and he says that he's disappointed in himself, because he's not the WWF Champion. He says that thanks to Ric Flair, he's not the WWF Champion. He tells Ric Flair that at WrestleMania VIII, he'll feel the power of Hulkamania. WHAAATCHA GONNA DO, RIC FLAIR, WHEN THE LARGEST ARMS IN THE WORLD RUN WILD ON YOU?! (94%) Royal Rumble Recap[/u] We saw a recap video of LOD vs. The Natural Disasters. (74%) Rick Martel def. El Matador[/u] This was a good back-and-forth bout between the former members of Strike Force. Martel pushed the ref away, blasted El Matador with Arrogance, and locked in the Quebec Crab to win. (79%) Post-Royal Rumble Report:[/u] Mean Gene is shown in front of the usual "Royal Rumble Report" background. He runs down what happened at the Rumble, from the New Foundation beating the Orient Express, The Mountie retaining the IC Title over Roddy Piper, The Legion of Doom beating the Natural Distasters, and Sid Justice winning the Royal Rumble. (53%) Video Package: Strike Force[/u] We see clips Owen Hart and Marty Jannetty wrestling, driving around, and with girls as "Girls in Cars" plays, and we see that Strike Force will debut soon! (50%) Ted DiBiase def. Jim Duggan[/u] This was moreorless another squash. Duggan barely got offense in on DiBiase, and he eventually fell victim to the Million Dollar Dream. DiBiase stuffed $100 bills in Duggan's mouth post-match. (72%) Promo: Sid Justice[/u] Sid talks about the Undertaker's challenge, and how the Undertaker intimidates everyone with his size, he doesn't scare Sid Justice. He tells the Undertaker that at WrestleMania VIII, he's the one who will Rest in Peace. (71%) WWF Championship: Sid Justice def. Warlord[/u] This was a good match for what it was. Sid took a beating in the early going, but once Warlord locked the Full Nelson in, Justice broke it, fought back, and drove Warlord through the mat with a Powerbomb to retain the WWF Title. (86%) [/center]

I like.
Prime Time Wrestling was a very good show, imo, from the Hulk Hogan promo to the main event. I like how your putting Sid Justice over.
Keep up the phenominal work, I imagine this will be another work of art from you Ricky, I'll DEFINATLY be reading this.

why are you jobbing out Duggan? DO YOU HATE AMERICA?
The Strike Force thing seems kind of forced, considering the New Foundation won the night before. I'd have definitely put it off a few weeks, let the NF drift apart a little or something. Of course, Neidhart could be a good partner for Michaels...

Really like the Rumble. Sid was a good choice for champ. Wish Piper had won the IC title. WM is looking good so far. I dont like the new Strike Force, I would have built up a rift in the NF and then have Neidhart turn heel or something down the line.
