YEAR IN REVIEW | The WWF in 1992 (Full Year Documentary)
The year 1992 brought us a lot of great things, in film we first saw Wayne’s World, in music Dr Dre brought us The Chronic, and in the WWF; things would really start to evolve. Yes, with the steroid trial heating up and causing the landscape of the company to change forever; and whether he liked in or not, a New Generation was about to dawn for Vince McMahon, but first he would have to let go of the old one. But how did it all happen? Well; join us today as we take a deep dive into the entire story from start to finish in; The WWF in 1992: A Year in Review.

    That rumble was awesome. I clearly remember hoping Piper would win both belts that night. As the Royal Rumble itself progressed you could tell that it was gonna be Flair's night though. And yes I agree The Brain's performance on the mic was a career night also. And, up against everything he did in professional wrestling, that's really saying something. To any younger viewers or any wrestling fans that haven't seen this pay per view, I highly recommend sitting down and watching that whole event. IMO it is one of the best events of that decade and probably the best pre attitude era events WWF did full stop.

    92 was epic. The rumble itself is in my top ten matches of all time (it counts!) Mania had great matches (especially Bret v piper). Summerslam was super, with my favourite match (bulldog v bret) and survivor series (I still remember my dad picking me up from school and telling me Perfect had turned face!) They came to my hometown in 94 (Owen kept pointing and shouting at me!!) I stopped watching all wrestling in 96 - I was drawn back in around 99/2000.

    92' was a good year. Hogan and Warrior era transitioned to Bret and Shawn. Bret vs Shawn at Survivor series 92' was the best match they had I think. Mania 12 match was good but Shawn didn't wrestle the way he usually did, he wrestled a more technical mat based style in that match. Survivor Series 97' was good because of the feud and the controversy surrounding it, and they had a nice brawl, but overall If I want to watch them wrestle I like their 1992 match the best. It's a shame they didn't have a few early In Your House matches or something. Also they had a ladder match in 92' but I think I've only seen it one on a grainy youtube video.

    Great video! W8 was a botched opportunity for WWF though. Flair vs Hogan should have been the main event. The house circuit may not have drawn the crowds, but I knew tons of people expecting it to be W8 main event (and disappointed that it was not). I remember Sid vs Hogan being a rather boring main event (plus it was the first without the title as the main attraction). Sid kicking out of Hogan's leg drop was the beginning of the end for finishers always leading to a pinfall. I never felt the British Bulldog was a legit singles wrestler though. He was always associated with Dynamite Kid and their tag team. 1992 was Bret Hart's year no doubt. Michaels was rocketing up as well.

    @@WRESTLEWITHANDY The story of the episode was WWF was close to going out of business due to the WCW war and couldn't afford Bret anymore, so Vince nobly allowed Hart out of his contract so he could negotiate a better deal with WCW. Actually, Dave says, Vince first talked to Bret about deferring some of his contract to later on but that was a couple months earlier. At the time, WWF really was having some financial struggles, but it's an exaggeration to say they were almost driven out of business. They were never even close. But regardless, that's irrelevant because in Sept. 97, they raised the price of PPVs by $10. That added revenue, which was nearly $1 million per month in pure profit, was easily enough to get them out of financial trouble. By the time Survivor Series 97 rolled around, WWF was doing just fine, money-wise, and were only a couple months away from catching fire and getting nuclear hot. So no, they did not need to get rid of Bret's contract. And in fact, in October, a couple weeks before Survivor Series, Vince changed his mind and asked Bret to stay, saying that the financial situation had turned around. But by this point, Hart's negotiations with turned around. But by this point, Hart's negotiations with WCW were full speed ahead and Vince allowed Hart to continue negotiating. But after talking to both sides, it was clear Vince had no real plan for Bret and he didn't really seem like he wanted to keep him, so Bret took the WCW deal and the rest is history. But of course, none of that is mentioned in this show. The episode also claimed Hart refused to drop the title to anyone (again, not true. Only Shawn. Bret even offered to lose it to Brooklyn Brawler if they wanted. In fact, Dave breaks down all the different scenarios that were presented here, and Bret was willing to lose the title to anyone other than Shawn, anywhere other than that show in Montreal, at any date before or after the PPV. They had actually presented Bret with dozens of different scenarios, all of which he agreed to, only for Vince to keep coming back around to Shawn at Survivor Series, which was the one anuntil Dec. 1st, and he was booked on more than a dozen house shows after Survivor Series and had even agreed to work the early December PPV because Bischoff had given his blessing. There was zero chance Bret was going to show up with the belt on Nitro. There was concern that Bischoff would go on Nitro the next day and announce he had signed Bret, and Dave says it's true that Bischoff certainly was planning to do that. But Bret had also asked Bischoff to hold off on the announcement and Bischoff had agreed. Vince knew about that too, but in recorded conversations with Bret (from the Wrestling With Shadows documentary), Vince didn't seem concerned since the word was already out and everyone knew Bret was leaving already. This just goes on and on. We all know the story already. Anyway, TL;DR - interesting show, but WWE's version of the story is bullshit. But we all knew that.

    @@WRESTLEWITHANDY Time for some number crunching, as Dave looks at both WWF and WCW and compares TV ratings and house show attendance numbers for the last 5 years in great detail. There's a lot of numbers and stuff here but I'll try to sum it up easily. When it comes to WCW, they're obviously in the midst of their hottest run ever. But there's a misconception that WCW winning the cable ratings war is some new thing, when in reality, WCW has pretty much always beaten WWF in cable ratings, with the Saturday Night show beating early Raw and Prime Time ratings all the time, but they weren't in prime time. And no one really paid attention until the companies began going head-to-head on Monday nights. The truth is, yes, WCW is winning the war but the alleged "decline of WWF" is overrated. 1996 was WWF's strongest house show year since 1991, even though their TV ratings have hit new lows. But overall, WWF is still doing strong business everywhere else and TV ratings haven't shown to have that much effect on ticket sales. In fact, WWF's house show business grew at a faster rate than WCW's did last year and with increased ticket prices, their house fact, WWF's house show business grew at a faster rate than WCW's did last year and with increased ticket prices, their house show business became even more profitable. There's a perception from people who believe the Monday night ratings are the entire business and believe WWF is in trouble because they're losing the ratings war, but overall, they're still pretty strong (I find stuff like this interesting, because the revisionist version of history is that WCW damn near put WWF out of business until Vince heroically fought back and conquered his enemy. Reality is, they were never even remotely in danger of it and aside from TV ratings, they were doing their best business in years on every other front. Sure, they were a distant second in TV ratings but in all other aspects of the business, WCW was only barely winning)

    One thing i hate about the WWF is how it casually breaks it’s own rules. Hogan helping Flair eliminate Sid is interference and so it cant be a legitimate win for Flair….yet they kept the show going….they done this numerous times over the years. Like how originally using closed fist strikes in wrestling was illegal and called out by ref but inexplicably it became legal when Stonr Cold used closed fists in every match without gettinh DQ’d for that

    The 1992 Royal Rumble is the greatest Rumble of all time in my opinion. Ric winning the Rumble and WWE title, debut of Razor Ramon, the rise of Shawn Michaels, Bret vs the Bulldog with their classic at SummerSlam in Wembley stadium later that year, Hart vs Piper at WrestleMania 8, Bret becoming World Champion for the 1st time. 1992 was a great year.
