WWE Royal Rumble winners: Where are they now? (1988-1999)

7. Royal Rumble 1992 - "Nature Boy" Ric Flair

The fact that we live in a world where 'Nature Boy" Ric Flair not only won a Royal Rumble match - but won the WWF Championship because of it - means that we somehow live in a just world.

Ric Flair left WCW back in 1991 after decades of being the face of the NWA/Jim Crockett Promotions organization. Following the purchase of the organization by Ted Turner, Jim Herd was put in charge of the promotion. Jim Herd used to run Pizza Hut. Jim Herd wanted Ric Flair to shave his head and call himself 'Spartacus'.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

So, Ric Flair told Jim Herd to stick it and then joined the WWF. And then Ric Flair won the 1992 Royal Rumble and became WWF Champion.

Ric Flair won the Royal Rumble - and the title - in 1992. And he still managed to be The Man for years afterwards. He's Ric G'D'd Flair. Nowadays, he's involved in the career of his daughter... someone you might have heard of by the name of Charlotte.

Over the past half decade, Flair has gone through a lot - medical scares, marriages, family tragedies, bad suits. These days, he's involved in an angle between Charlotte and Lacey Evans, where's he's... well... being Ric Flair with Evans.

Granted, despite the really crummy booking The Queen has had to deal with over the years, and despite the fact that 2020 has been a garbage bag of years set on fire - it's still something to behold.
