hulk hogan wins royal rumble 90 - end of the match

[gtz1975]

So with Hogan winning the Royal Rumble and being World Champion, does that mean he gives himself a title shot at Wrestle Mania?

HULKAMANIA WILL LIVE FOREVER!!!!!

Hulk Hogan is my favorites wrestler.

Hogan holding that banner in the ring at the end will forever live in my memory as one of the defining moments of the legacy of Hulkamania... Perfect's status as a main event heel wasn't negatively affected in the least by Hogan's win...

[BobbyUK1979]

I'm probably one of the few that liked Hercules as he did a great job putting over bigger talent. It was a shame he was so low in the pecking order in the WWF. Incidentally, the accidental elimination of Rick Rude by Mr Perfect mirrored the same sequence that occurred between the pair of them at Survivor Series 1989 as a tag team - only Perfect got the wrong end of it that time. I would have preferred anybody but Hogan to have won Royal Rumble 1990. At that time it didn't seem right.

Hulk Hogan is a real American^^

@4:07 Brutally stiff forearm on Henning by Rude!

[fivebearrugs]

Okay, so the rumor that I've read online was that Perfect was supposed to win the Rumble (and thus keeping his perfect winning streak), since he and Genius were feuding with Beefcake and Hogan at the time, but apparently Hogan vetoed it and Hennig's consolation prize was Last Man Out.

[scottb80]

@fivebearrugs would've been cool if Mr. Perfect won and continued the feud with Hogan but that probably would've led to a Perfect vs Hogan at Wrestlemania 6 instead of Hogan vs Warrior.

[fivebearrugs]

@scottb80 Hmmm, OR...Genius beats Warrior in a match, due to Perfect interfering. Perfect/Hogan wrestle, Warrior runs in and causes Perfect to win by DQ. Hogan throws a hissy-fit, Warrior growls, and we have the main even for WM VI :)

[scottb80]

@fivebearrugs In a way I think Hogan/Perfect would have been better in the long run for the WWF. They could've had Perfect beat Hogan, and then Warrior beat Perfect later on which would've been better for Warrior. As good as Hogan/Warrior match was I always felt that it ruined the Warrior in a way, I remember a lot of Hogan fans at the time who started not liking the Warrior anymore after their WM6 match.

[Neoquaker111]

Commentator Shiavone in WWF?? never knew that

[simonross1977]

Amazing that people like Rude and Hennig were never WWF World Champs yet goofs like Yokozuna, Sgt (S)laughter, Diesel etc were

[chatrapathi6]

This Royal Rumble was the first video my mom ever rented for me yeah I'm 30 years old and I first watched this when I was 10, I think I'm getting old..lol

[davide453]

I remember watching this rumble back in 1990 and one thing has stayed with me since then: At 2:04, Jesse Ventura says in utter disgust 'Oh and he scratches 'im,' after Hogan the supposed manly superhero, scratches Rick Rude's back.

I found that hilarious at the time.

[lettersfromaboy]

@davide453 - I too loved that line by Jesse. I always loved how Jesse was disgusted all the time at Hogan and his so called 'heroic actions". Do you remember when Hogan scratched Randy Savage in the eyes at WrestleMania 5, I believe? Jesse said, "Oh and he rakes Randy across the eyes". Then he said, " I tell you what, this guy Hogan, is as low as they come". He said that too in a disgusted manner. It was great.

[davide453]

@lettersfromaboy - Yeah I remember that too! Jesse was always disgusted with Hogan.

For ages, those were the only 2 moves me and my friends used to do: the devastating back scratch and the eye rake and when we executed them, we'd do the Ventura commentary.

Shame Mr Perfect didn't win.

I always hated Hulk Hogan and thought he got too much coverage. I was eight at the time!

And that reality show he did didn't change my mind... a vain, stupid prick.

[urbanstroller]

@wickywhite Fair play to you dude - you were one sharp eight year old! As a kid I used to think Hogan was awesome - now with hindsight he was definitely style over substance. Athletically poor, stiff, bad seller &essentially a one trick pony. Savage, Mr Perfect, Rude, superior wrestlers that never got their real worth!

[wickywhite]

@urbanstroller Well I wouldn't go as far as sharp, but I can remember thinking he looked old, couldn't wrestle and generally being rubbish. And his dominance did mean that other better wrestlers didn't get their chance. Perfect, Rude, British Bulldog... even wrestlers like the Barbarian, Haku and Million Dollar Man never got top billing.

All for a perma tanned, arrogant Grandad!

[urbanstroller]

@wickywhite No, no- take the compliment! You've earned it! I studied History for my sins in University & only now am I applying "dispassionate objectivity" to the former WWF. I know - too much time on my hands right? But I remember when I first got broad-band/high-speed internet connection at home & nursed a hang-over one Sunday, researching 90's WWF wrestlers on the web - to realise how many child hood heroes had died so young - absolutely appalling! I've ordered Harts bio & can't wait!

[danxiq1]

it was good to see Rude and Perfect together again. I think they should have let those two become a tag team.

[acetrain81]

That would've been a tight tag team

[fivebearrugs]

@danxiq1 So you wrote this comment a year ago, but I think it would've been cool if Perfect and Rude did team up; they could've been called Perfectly Ravishing :)

[jnryfn]

Mr. PERFECT was robbed of the Perfect victory!!!

[whodizzel]

I miss those days...

[peterathwal99]

this was the best rumble. great line up of superstars and the storylines the led to wrestlemania 6. 2 thumbs up from me
