10 Most Shocking WWE Royal Rumble Eliminations
The most shocking WWE Royal Rumble eliminations in history!
3. Sid Justice Eliminates Hulk Hogan - 1992
Having won the 1990 and ’91 Rumbles, Hulk Hogan was the favourite to make it three in a row in ’92, which is the first time the match was contested for the WWE Title.
The odds of the Hulkster walking away with the gold seemed to increase when he entered at number 26. Hogan canned The Undertaker and The Berzerker, before joining forces with Sid Justice to oust The Warlord.
It came down to Hulk, Sid and Ric Flair in the final three and, with Hogan turning his attention to The Nature Boy, Justice crept up behind him (as gracefully as a six-foot-nine, three-hundred-odd pounder can creep up) and threw him over.
But Hulk thought they were friends! How could he do this? Well, just as easily as Hogan could then hold onto Sid’s arm and assist Flair in eliminating him to win the match and the title.
Even though Hulk Hogan had the last laugh, his elimination at the hands of the Master and Ruler of the World was truly shocking at the time.
