    Macho Man is my pick to win it all though.

  • I remember this theme. I miss it.

  • @2:45 i can still remember mean gene telling everyone to call their local cable company and demand to order the royal rumple only on pay per view lol

  • 20 years later, I still get goosebumps hearing this. They should update this and use it today.

  • I remember when Sid eliminated Hogan and the fans went crazy! Only for the WWF to re-dub the footage to make the crowd boo instead of cheer and make Heenan and Monsoon re-do their lines favouring Hogan. Ahh good times.

  • Its Time To Rumble,Its Time for the Royal Rumble. 

  • ROWDY RODDY PIEPER SHOULD OF WON A RUMBLE SHOCKING THAT HE DIDNT WHAT A LEGEND THAT WOULD OF BEEN GREAT TO HEAR GORILLA MONSOON SAY MY GOD BOBBY HEENAN PIPER HAS DONE IT!! HES WON THE ROYAL RUMBLE OH WELL ONLY IN MY DREAMS NOW

  • I wish they'd use this theme again. Saliva sucks!

  • Royal Rumble It's every man for himself!!!

  • fuck me, this along with the Wrestlemania theme is just about as iconic as it gets. Talk about taking me back to 8 years old suplexing my little sister on the sofa....

  • It's time to Rrrrrrrumble! It's time for the Rrrrrroyal Rrrrrrumble!

  • "But remember boys, and that's to all 29 of ya! I've lived one way, and one way only. And that's with the belief: To be THE man, you gotta beat THE man! And today! At the royal rumble, I am THE man! WHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

  • I remember this theme theme from the very first WWF Summerslam in 1988

  • This will always be our era...the golden days of the WWF. Nothing will ever compare to this & the memories we had growing up to this theme.

  • Oh My Gosh Our Era Of Wrestling Was Golden The Memories

  • The WWF had a thing with the mild-winter cities hosting the Royal Rumble back in the vintage days:

    1989: Houston, Texas

    1990: Orlando, Florida

    1991: Miami, Florida

    1995: Tampa, Florida

    1997: San Antonio, Texas

  • OOOOMMMGGG this is so old school

  • It's time to Rumble.... It's time for the Rrrrroyal Rrrrumble!

  • Classics were the best. Was it '89 when both number 1 and number 2 were Ax and Smash of demolition only to be followed by number 3 Andre the giant?

    All in all '92 was the best ever. Flair put on a great show. He literally squared off with almost everyone that came into the squared circle and you had Monsoon and Hennan calling the action with Hennan constantly panicking over Flair.

  • @VisionofOrion Flair tangled with everyone at the Rumble EXCEPT for Ted DiBiase; too bad Teddy couldn't hang onto the ropes or something as Flair entered. Ric could've not only won the title, but fought with the other 29 guys :)

  • @fivebearrugs Would of been cool. If I remember right, Dibiase was injured thats why he was gone in under two minutes. That was the WWF back then, hurt or not you still had to show up and work, even if it was only for 2 minutes.

  • @VisionofOrion Wow...I never knew that. I believe you, but was it specifically stated somewhere that he was injured at the time? Another example would be Survivor Series 95 I think, where an injured Shawn Michaels was on the apron for the entire match (his hand was taped up) and then decides to tag in, and accidentally superkick Diesel. It was also a few couple of years ago that I learned that Perfect's back was in bad shape at SummerSlam '91 when he fought Bret Hart.

  • @fivebearrugs I remember hearing it through the wrestling flyers back then (long before the internet.)...

    Michaels was still recovering from being jumped in a bar fight so his role was limited in the '95 SS. His knee was also messed up in '90 Summerslam (rocker days) and was "jumped" before the Rockers match with Power and Glory leaving Michaels out of the match.

    Perfect injured his back when he was feuding with British Bulldog. He competed under injury just to drop the title.

  • @VisionofOrion I was reading an old weekly Usenet column and it indicated that DiBiase was knocked out of the 92 Rumble so quickly because he was on the outs with WWF and talking with WCW about coming in. The author could have been incorrect though.

  • @peterp21 That could be the case. My source was (at the time) a good friend who read about it in one of the wrestling flyers (Possibly "Wrestling Observer") I actually met Dibiase in person about a year and a half later at an independent promtion which gives credibility to what you heard.

    No matter what the reason it was strange to see Dibiase go out so early in a Pay per view.

  • COLONEL MUSTAPHA , NASTY BOY SAGGS , DINO BRAVO , TEXAS TORNADO THE WAAARRLOORDDDDD

  • IT'S TIME FOR THE ROYAL RUMBLLLLLLLLLE!!!!!!

  • how did you get it?

  • Does anyone think that the orignal 24 Track tapes, and 1/4" masters, producers of the WWF Theme tunes have value.

  • I don't know why, but I love this song! Brings back a lot of wrestling memories from those days

  • ITS TIME TO RUMBLE!!!!!!

  • "If you haven't called your cable company yet, do so now, as time is running out!" Thanks Sean Mooney and Gene Okerlund, for reminding a generation to "MAKE THE CALL!"

  • this was used in the Summerslam 89 intro lol

  • In 2012, to honor 20 years since the 1992 Rumble, have McMahon do intros for the 40 Man Rumble for old time sake. CM PUNK! CODY RHODES! JOHNNNNNN MORRR-UH-SAAAAAHN! ALLEGED SPORTS ENTERTAINER GREAT KHALI! HAKUUUUUUUU!!!!!!

  • @HGWJay I LMAO'd at that, hearing Vince's voice in my head. He should totally do it this year!

  • @HGWJay That would of been tremendous. It's bad choice Vince didn't do it bad business decision could you imagine how much people would of loved to of seen that Vince never thinks of these things forget this crappy generation. #Vince2012Sucks

  • Alleged real World Champion Ric Flair!

  • People dont understand how important ppvs felt back then, this is why it feels so nostalgic just remembering how long you had to wait to see hulk hogan wresttle etc.

    4 frikkin months to wait for a ppv. Royal rumble 90 to wrestlemania 6 was the biggest anticipation ever, hogan, warrior and they never layed a finger on eachother unlike these days.

  • what a theme love it

  • I hated how they removed this theme from the DVDs

  • IT'S TIME TO RUMBLLEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

    Gave me goosebumps when I used to hear that back than.

    Now - Who gives a sick fuck with the ppv's?

  • the tug boat

  • This was wrestling. This was wwf... F'n awesommmmmme

    Good old days... Only a true wrestling fan knows what I'm talking about. This is classic stuff... Love it and miss it.. Wwf rip

  • The 2 people that disliked this were eliminated early from the Rumble.

  • Also The Headshrinkers Samu and Fatu

  • the model rick martel

  • Rosanne made a porno with Vader and had this song as the backdrop.

  • JAAAAAAAAKE THE SNAAAAKE RAWWWBERTS!

  • The good ole days when you either had to order a special cable box to hook to your tv or have the big ass satellite dish in your yard...way before directv and dish. If Vince ever did his old intro, I'd lose my mind and mark out crazy and I'm 30 years old.

  • Someone please take me back to about 1993 and don't EVER let me grow up!!

  • Man hearin this theme brings a tear to your eye but makes u smile at the same time cause u remember the classic days of WWF....This reminds me of how I used to watch the PPV's scrambled and jus listen to it on TV cause I couldn't order it sometimes...Good ol days baby!!!

  • @SoopamanLuva1

    You are not the only one broothaaa!!!!

  • You're not the only one brotha!!!

  • @SoopamanLuva1 I did the same.... I miss classic WWF :(

  • @SoopamanLuva1 Man!! that comment brings back memory s. I remember doing that same thing. We had a old tv, that i could sometimes unscramble and watch it. Sometimes, it would just be on as if i ordered it...Maybe mom and dad secretly got it for me, Ahhh memories.

  • @SoopamanLuva1 : **rapidly presses A/B button on cable box** :)

  • @SoopamanLuva1 I feel so old saying this, but kids nowadays just don't understand how much better wrestling was in our day. These guys were larger than life, our era's superheroes. Every character was unique, the generic ones were mostly jobbers, and even a lot of the jobber's had charisma.

  • @SoopamanLuva1 that's what i did too. I use to listen to it just to hear what's going on instead of watching the matches because i couldn't see. Man great times

  • It's time to Rumble.... It's time for the ROYAL RRRRUMBLE!

  • THIS WAS THE BEST THEME SONG WWF/E HAS EVER HAD FOR ANY PPV EVENT, THEY SHOULD BRING IT BACK WITH A LIL TWIST, BUT THIS THEME, I THINK, SHOULD GO TO WRESTLEMANIA THEN THE ROYAL RUMBLE...

  • RIP MACHOOOOOOOO MAN RANDY SAVAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!

  • I'M ABOUT TO THROW 2 PEOPLE OVER THE TOP ROPE !!!!

  • @jettcenterfold Here, let me help! :) ;)

  • @jettcenterfold Yeah!!!! I"ll help you man.

  • Classic theme takes me back.

  • Aw man...nostalgia. I remember my Dad would get the PPV early in the day then me and my bro would have it on that channel all day to listen to this song, watch the countdown and wrestle each other...then I think in the last hour or so they had the preview with Bobby Heenan and Mean Gene. This was the Zenith of Pro Wrestling. It'll never be this good again.

  • @RedPaladin I remember that too. Miss the good ol days i come here to remember the days how the real wrestling was now a days it just sucks now. i only watch now cause of kelly kelly she is beautiful. but again these were the good ol days best memories.

  • great memories from my favorite ppv

  • ITS TIME FOR THE RUMBLE-----THE ROYYYAAAALLLLL RUUUMMMMMBBBBLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEE

  • IT'S TIME TO RUUUUUUUUMMMMMMBBBBBBBLLLLLLLL­EEEEEEE!!!!!!!

  • the Ullllllllllllllllllllllllllllt­imate Warrior

  • i kno it was used for summerslam first, but i think it was the right move to give it to the royal rumble instead, suits the event more

  • It was still used in the 1994 Rumble.

  • Welcome to the ROYAL RUMBLE!

  • Welcome Everyone To the 1989 WWF Royal Rumble Hello everyone i'm gorilla monsoon And Along Side Jesse The Body Venture

  • classic! better than the shitty themes they use these days

  • I used to love when Vince would run down the list of superstars entering that years Royal Rumble to the sounds of this theme.

  • god, are you there? make it so wreslting gets shut down and they can just reair replays from the 80s and 90s.. please.

  • @1EPowerUp you can get WWE Classics On Demand.. that section has *everything* from all eras

  • @TahishaArvo Yeah although one third of the crap that they are peddling on that channel is stuff that was done a year ago. When you put on pay per views from 2010 you sort of loose the prestige of being a "classics" channel.

    Of course thankfully we have youtube.

  • @VisionofOrion i have that On Demand channel.. *half* of the section features the older "crap"

  • @TahishaArvo Yeah I know I had it for a month. I started getting annoyed when they were calling it a "classic" channel and they had pay per views from like four months ago.

    I would of loved the channel a few years ago, even if it had some of the modern day stuff on it just with you tube its sort of pointless.

  • @VisionofOrion not pointless if you get some good surprises you didn't know existed.. at times, it's like Christmas

  • @VisionofOrion Completely agree... it is pointless and stupid!

  • I miss wrestling being wrestling. it tries to be something it isn't nowadays. just be wrestling!!!

  • Luv this!!=)

  • Breat Hart wasn't in the Royal Rumble in 92...he wasn't even on the Pay-Per View. He was supposed to be westling The Montie for the Intercontinental Championship but missed the show. This was the only show he missed during his WWE days.

  • SHEMUS THROWN OVER THE TOP ROPE BY ANDREEEEEEE THE GIANT!!!

  • The alleged world champion, RIC FLAIR.

  • the british bulldog,bret hart,ric flair,mr perfect,the berzerker,the model rick martel,the immortal hulk hogan,shawn michaels and so many others in the 1992 royal rumble

  • Bret Hart wasn't in the Royal Rumble in 92...he wasn't even on the Pay-Per View. He was supposed to be westling The Montie for the Intercontinental Championship but missed the show. This was the only show he missed during his WWE days.

  • one of the greatest event theme music ever!!

  • THE UUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNDDEER!! *LOL* Vince was great at this!!

  • vince mcmahon intros used to make me have the sugar rush shakes lol wrestling was so cool back then as a kid.

  • THE UUUUUUUUUUULTIMATE WARIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOR! HA VINCE WAS ACTUALLY GREAT ON COMMENTARY IF U ASK ME

  • THE BERZERKERRRR

  • I'd like to se all 30 or 40 wrestlers in the Rumble cut that short promo before the Rumble match like back in the day.

  • the rumble gonna be good tonight

  • What an absolute belter of a theme. It still gets me in the mood every January when its time for the Royal Rumble !!!!!

  • koko b warrre, nikolaaii vooollkoffff and thhhheeeee iiiimmmmmmoooooooooorrrrttaaaa­aaaaaaaalllll huuuuuuuuuuuullllk hoooogaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnn!

  • After the old school Raw they really do need to do an old school Rumble intro. AN UNPRECEDENTED 40 SUPERSTARS COMPETE IN THE ROYAL RUMBULLLL! including Jack Swagger! The Shaman of Sexy John Morrison! TRIPLE H! KINNNNNG SHEAMUS! Alleged real Nexus leader WADE BARRETT! The UNNNNNNDERTAKER! The World's Strongest Man Mark Henry! The Uso Brothers! CM PUNNNNNK and JOHHHHHHN CENA!

  • @TheKenolaBar An intro like that would take forever but knowing the WWE they'd want that. Why ya think they have 40 this year, so they won't have to worry about the undercard as much.

  • @steeltownbrown52 I think it's more trying to pretend someone other than Cena or HHH have a chance in hell of winning it.

  • @TheKenolaBar

    Cuz Alberto Del Rio has no chance at all.......

  • @michiyoyoshiku I typed that before the show happened. Kudos to them for picking someone not obvious for once.

  • @TheKenolaBar

    Yeah I know you actually Del Rio was pretty obvious but no more satisfying as a winner. Lets just hope they don't botch this and make him a huge star

  • Thriple H,Zack Rider,Kofiii KINGSTON!,Ted Dibiase(Jr),Randy Orton,The MIZZZZZ,John Morrison,Jack SWAGGER!,MVP,GOLDUST,THE UNDERTAKER!!!!!,Shelton Benjamin,Shamus,REY MYSTERIO JR!!!!!,EDGE!!, KANE!!,Dolph ZIEGLER!,R-TRUTH,CRYME TYMES's JTG, AND 2:40 THE IMMORTAL HULK...(wait) JOHN CEEEEEEEEEEEENA!!!!!!!

  • william regal, zack rider, the master peas chris masters, the dassing cody rodes, mvp,goldust , the wold strongest man mark henry, Tyson kidd.

  • @Joshparnell "master peas"?LOL

  • these were the days when i used to look forward to the royal rumble cause it had so many huge name wrestlers. without a doubt royal rumble 1990 was the best and the biggest. wwe nowdays is dull and too many boring no talent wrestlers with no personality either. even the crap back then like koko b ware and akeem even had character. i miss the true old days.

  • Yeah, I miss the good old days myself. this song was great for the rumble. and I loved how they introduced eact wrestler in the rumble and did quick promos every other introduction...

  • HAAAAAAKUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!1

  • @LeeClaxton DEFINITELY HAKU.....KING HAAAAAKUUUUUUUUUU

  • @LeeClaxton THEEE UUUUUNDERRRRTAKERRRRRRR

  • @LeeClaxton and the macho king randy savage

  • The clock is ticking down to the royal rumble. What means no friends only enemys. 30 men. But 1 winner. What means 29 opponents are getting nervous the more the time passes by. But not me. Im cold, im calculating. I will take my time. I will make no mistakes. While the 29 other opponents will make mistakes and fall one by one in they own defeat. And when you make a mistake. I will be there to take advantage of your mistake. Intil all 29 opponent are eliminated.

  • fucking tune!

  • I would mark out if they brought this song back!!!

  • @JoshOrtiz88 You already mark out for everything else you faggot mark.

  • My era of wrestling was the attitude era. I remember ordering the 2000 Royal Rumble and loving every minute of it. After watching early 90's Rumbles, I don't even think I'd rate the 2000 Rumble in the top 3 of all time! Just goes to show how awesome wrestling was back then when I favour it over Attitude. Not by MUCH though!

  • @zzDzCzCzz

    I wished i could sent you back to my era man and see Hogan do what Austin did but 3X as better. For example, Feburary 5 1988, The Main Event Hogan vs Andre WM3 rematch garnered 15.8 ratings, doubles the amount of Austins 1999 8 man tag event which had *taker, rock, kane, ect.* and that was an 8.1. Just watch the match on here and see why its better then any of austins. *I'm not trying to make you GE over Attitutde, just trying to let you watch them*

  • @tonshaad1230 I'm jealous lol. I love wrestling from 1985-2002 pretty much. The Rock was my favourite growing up as I watched Raw is War. I love the old feuds and characters from the glory days. So many wrestlers like Hogan, Macho, Jake the Snake, The Model, Bret Hart, Ric Flair, Razor Ramon, Shawn Michaels, Warrior and the list goes on. Loved the old stories, gimmicks and effort they put into the story lines. SummerSlam 1992 was awesome as well as pretty much every Pay per view back then.

  • HEERCULESSSSSSS

  • I couldnt of imagined what the hype for the early years of WWE PPV would of been like, I guess we take PPVS now for granted considering back then there was only like 4 PPVS a year.

  • @thisisshane90 They were very special back in the day, lol. RR was in Jan on a Sat night, WM in March/April, SSlam in Aug on a Mon night and of course SSeries on Thanksgiving night, and later Tgiving Eve. About a month before the event, Mean Gene Okerlund would do weekly updates for the cards. The first one was always the date and location of the event and maybe the main event. In the weeks to come, there would be more matches added, or wrestlers replacing others...so fun :)

  • It's time to RUMBLE! It's time for the ROOOYALLL RRRRRRRRRRRUMBLLEEEEE!

  • SUUUUUUUUUPERFLLLLLLLLLLY!!!!!­!!

    *Insert Jimmy Snuka facials here*

  • They're changing the name to Over The Top?You might as well just change the names of the World Series or the Stanley Cup Finals.

  • @landrykkb Not at all. WWE have said time and time again the big 4 will never be open to name changes.

  • i remember they had a few saturday night ppv for royal rumble,,, the slaughter vs warrior title match comes to match

  • 2 people must like todays crap

  • 2 people are WCW fans

  • TO BE THE MAN.....YOU HAVE TO BEAT THE MAN!!  WHOOOOOOOO

  • this was when wwf kicked ass back than and we could hardly wait for the ppv's to start. Now it just sucks balls

  • Everyone, ignore the troll known as nicedarren. If you can't be bothered to go to WWE's website and see the PPV calendar still says ROYAL RUMBLE and instead just take what the troll says at face value, then I feel sorry for you.

  • The Uuuuuunnnnnnndertakerrr

  • God I can still hear mean gene yelling over this music ...ORDER NOW WWF ROYAL RUMBLE !! ...:::( The great day's as a kid growing up waiting to see these PPV event's !!

  • How about Vince's... IT'S TIME TO RUMBLE, IT'S TIME FOR THE ROYAL RUMBLE! Classic.

  • Rumble was too violent? LIKE REALLY WTF? Back in my era no kid paid attention to the name, it was justified by the actions of our heroes! Man Vince you'd do anything for money wouldn't you? Ruin your own company with changing traditional PPVs? Whats next, give Wade Barrett the title and expect people to ACTUALLY get behind him? HULK HOGAN WE NEED YOU MORE THEN EVER NOW BROTHER!

  • the word rumble is too violent thats why there replacin it with over the top lol whooooooooooooooooooooooop

  • wellllllllllllllllllllllllllll­lllllllllllllllllcome everyone to the 2011 edition of the wwe's over the top!!!!!!!!!!! 30 men 1 goal 1 man left standing lol

  • cant wait till they finally get rid ov the royal rumble the word rumble its very violent over the top which is the new name they've chosen is much nicer lol

  • rip wwf/wwe royal rumble (1988-2010) as we welcome 2 the 2011 wwe ppv calender wwe over the top 2011 lol

  • @nicedarren 0_0 noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!­!!

  • I can't be the only one who wants a Ska cover of this am I?

  • Comment removed

  • This is how i remember the WWE as a kid. 4 PPVs a year, always with the same logo, and the same theme tunes. Awesome. Hype was built up on SuperStars, Wrestling Challenge, and Saturday Nights Main Event. Loved it.

  • Those were the days. This music would be playing and Vince would be hyping up the event and the wrestlers like crazy. Even the jobbers in the Rumble got the classic Vince introduction.

    Nowadays it wouldn't be the same, even if VInce did it again. "Kofiiiiiiiiiiiii Kingstonnnnnnnnnnnnn!" "Jack Swaaaaaaggerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" and such.

  • @MrNotbadyou lmfao@ kofiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii kingstonnnnnnnnnnnnn & jack swaaaaaaaaaaaaaagger......that­s funny, and nope, it wouldn't be the same and might i say...this is the best theme song for this pay-per-view...it was well orchastrated along with the wrestlemania theme...i always loved it when i watch the ending of the pay-per-view and they show the highlights along with the tune...

  • @MrNotbadyou

    "JOOOOOOOHHHNNNN CEEEEEEEEEEENAAAAAAAA" "WAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDEEEEEEE BBBBBBBAAAARRRETTT!!!!"

  • @MrNotbadyou You are right because he is all worn out from screaming to long over the past couple of years. It just wouldn't sound as great as it did back than.

  • @MrNotbadyou Besides the hype that surrounded the PPV's, another thing i always liked was the "countdown" shows that took place BEFORE they began! Those were awesome! They ran down the card for the evening and showed highlights of moments that led up to the match! They put 30 minutes up and as you started counting down, those 30 minutes felt like an eternity! You couldn't wait to lose your mind once the countdown ended and they started the event!

  • @MrNotbadyou

    "THE CELTIC WAAAARRRIORRRRR SHHHHEEEEEEEMUUUUUUUUUSSSS!!!!­!"

  • It's in 1993 too. I have the tape.

  • best rumble theme ever
