Gorilla Monsoon quotes from Royal Rumble

He is right now the all-time record holder, in excess of 55 minutes. Congratulations are in order for Ric Flair.

Give him the title, that's good enough for me!

No, I'm not giving him the title.

We've only got one entry left. No secret involved here; the guy who drew #30 is gonna be coming out in five seconds. It will be no surprise—it is the Warlord.

But you never know.

What do you mean, you never know?

You never know what Tunney and the WWF'll pull on you!

It could only be one guy.

[as #30, The Warlord enters the arena] I told you—the Warlord. I was right. I knew it, I was right.

[as Hogan tries to kick Flair out of the ring] Justice just watching. Flair hooking that bottom rope... [Sid Justice tosses Hogan out completely, eliminating Hogan and allowing Flair to inch back in] And look at from behind, Justice got rid of Hulk!

Uh-oh. I don't like the looks of things now. There are no friends...

[to Hogan, who's complaining to the referees] It's every man for himself, big boy!

There are no friends, only enemies!

Boy, is Hulk upset. Look, he's...he's saying, "you've stolen my belt!" [Hogan grabs Sid's arm, trying to pull him out] Look at this! Hulkster holding on, trying to pull him out. It's Flair from behind.

OH YES! YES! YES YES YES YES...

Flair did it!

YES! YES! YES! YES! He did it! I told you, Monsoon! I told you, Monsoon! I told you, I told you! YES! YES! YES! [continues over Howard's announcement] YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! I told you!

Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the Royal Rumble and undisputed World Wrestling Federation Champion: Ric Flair!

Flair did it, I don't believe it!

He did it! He did it! I knew he'd do it! I knew he'd do it! All you humanoids know!

What a man Ric Flair proved to be...

I'm gonna meet him! I'm gonna meet him!

Where are you going? The Brain has just left the broadcast position to join the new World Wrestling Federation Champion, Ric Flair! [Hogan and Sid get into a shoving match as several officials get between them] And two would-be champions left inside that ring. Oh, a lot of hatred shown here as we've got all kinds of referees and WWF officials to step between these two behemoths. Look at Justice, look at the Hulkster. He said, "you robbed me of my title." These guys want at each other. Terry Garvin out there, Pat Patterson, Rene Goulet, Tony Garea—I don't know whether there's enough guys out there to keep these two apart. Lot of trouble in paradise here. As the Hulkster was about to, earlier on, get rid of Ric Flair, and Justice was just standing by watching, and then from the back, flipped out the Hulkster. There are no friends in the Royal Rumble. And now there are enemies, that's for sure. Two guys who were odds-on favorites; of course, Ric Flair was a favorite as well, but drawing the number 3, well, just about said goodbye to his chances. [Sid exits the ring] But he proved everybody wrong. Everybody in the world now knows what Ric Flair can do, what kind of man he is.

Come on, shithead! Come on! I'll kill ya!

Take a look at Justice just hanging in the corner, biding his time here. [Sid eliminates Hogan from behind] From behind, look at this! I don't believe it! Snuck up like a thief from the night from behind and dumped the Hulkster out of there! Holy mackerel!

Listen Monsoon, he's calling him big boy! He's rubbing it in too. I like Sid Justice! I like his style. Come on Ric!

Look at that, he said "Every man for himself!", but yes, be a man and face the guy! At least turn around and look in your face when you dump somebody out. [Hogan pulls Sid's arm and Ric Flair eliminates Sid winning the match and the title] Look at this! Ric Flair, dumping Sid out! I don't believe it!

YES! YES! WOOOOOOOO!!

It is official! I can't believe for over one hour! Ric Flair is the new World Wrestling Federation Champion!

YES! I TOLD YOU! I TOLD YOU! YES! YES! YES! HE DID IT!

What a display of guts by that guy!

And what a great move by Sid Justice to outsmart that big dummy, Hulk Hogan! YES!

What a creep Sid Justice turned out to be!

Hey, I gotta go Monsoon!

Where are you going?

I'm going to me the WWF World Champion! You wrap it up!

The Brain out of here! And look at this once again, sneaking up from behind, Sid Justice! Give me a break here! Now it's even, face to face! This is the way it should've been from the beginning.

DiBiase, one half of the reigning WWF Tag Team Champions along with Irwin R. Schyster, and now he and Ric Flair are doubling up on the former champion Bob Backlund.

Can you get arrested for beating up the elderly?

Will you stop?

You know, Jerry "The King" Lawler is the host of Superstars.

I thought Vince McMahon was the host of Superstars.

No, he goes and gets him coffee and stuff.

Will you be serious?

I think there was a little bit more sting on the reverse knife-edges of Tenryu.

Well, where do you think they got the word "chop suey"?

Not from that!

Are you talking to me?

Forget about it. It's so deafening in here, you can barely hear yourself.

WHAT?

Look, he's got him by his tongue!

That's his tie. If Irwin is stupid enough to wear a tie in there, then he deserves it.

Boy, you're gonna get audited now.

Oh, who's coming out now?

Well, why don't you just wait a minute and find out?!?

I'm sorry, I'm excited! So what? [the buzzer sounds] Is that you blowing your nose or is that the horn?

[on Backlund] How long's he been in there now?

46 minutes and counting!

HOW COME YOU KNOW THIS STUFF AND NOT ME?

Fatu is bye-bye!

Who eliminated him, Brain? There's so much going on!

I think he threw himself out, I don't know.

Threw himself out? NOBODY WOULD DO THAT!

Backlund's been in there so long, when he entered the ring, his shoes were up to his knees!

WILL YOU STOP?

There goes Backlund, there goes Backlund.

Tito Santana trying to get him outta there, and Backlund came down on the apron and scooted underneath the bottom rope.

This guy's like a spider monkey! He just hooks onto things and you can't get him off!

And he got one hell of a reaction from this capacity crowd for that move.

That was just totally out of respect. He's like a leech! I had an aunt once like that.

You resemble that remark.

[as Earthquake and Yokozuna face-off] Look at this. Look at this. It's like the two Sears Towers meeting.

Earthquake says, "let's get it on!"

And look at Yokozuna. "Come on, big boy. Try to make me shake!"

It is deafening here in the arena as we are live at the Royal Rumble!

I see your lips moving, but I can't hear you!

Look at this. Carlos Colon got "The Rocket" Owen Hart perched up there.

No, that's Martel!

That's Martel, I'm sorry!

You should be! If you can't do it right, take a hike!

I'm outta here.

Don't go yet, wait a minute, I've gotta ask you another question.
