The 1990 WWE Royal Rumble took place in front of over 16,000 fans at the Orlando Arena, in Orlando, Florida. In 1991, Miami, Florida was host to the event where another 16,000 plus fans witnessed the show.

There were several preliminary bouts leading up to the Royal Rumble main event. One intriguing match was the culmination of a nearly two-year feud between Ronnie Garvin and Greg 'The Hammer' Valentine. It was a submission match in which Garvin came out victorious after locking Valentine into the 'hammer jammer.'

Other matches on the card included a tag team match in which the Bushwackers defeated The Fabulous Rougeaus. Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake defeated The Genius, and Hacksaw Jim Duggan defeated Big Boss Man.

The main event of the evening featured some of the greatest wrestling superstars of all-time. Ravishing Rick Rude, Roddy Piper, The Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man Randy Savage and Andre The Giant. When the dust settled, there could be only one winner, and that winner was Hulk Hogan.

Where is he now?

When fans discuss the "wrestling Mount Rushmore," there is always one name automatically included. That name is 'The Immortal" Hulk Hogan. The legendary superstar was one of the key figures in bringing professional wrestling to the mainstream public. Today's superstar owe a lot to Hogan for what he has done for the industry.

Despite being 68 years old, Hulk Hogan maintains an active lifestyle. He currently resides in Clearwater Beach, Florida, with his wife Jennifer. Hogan owns and operates two wrestling themed stores in Florida called Hogan's Beach Shop. The first was opened in Clearwater Beach and the other one was opened later, in Orlando. If you are a wrestling fan and you have not visited one of these shops, you are certainly missing out! Everything from autographed memorabilia, to shirts and souvenirs can be found at Hogans Beach Shop.
