Royal Rumble quotes

[on Virgil] Don't forget, at one time, he had that Million Dollar Championship belt.

He certainly did.

Of course, he stole it, but he still had it.

He did not!

Virgil just came out, right? #23, right?

Yes

Just think, who knows how many bags he's gone through in the back!

Oh, will you stop?!

I'm soaking wet, I need something to drink. Hey, you, stupid, get me something to drink!

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.

All right, by virtue of winning the Royal Rumble, we have a brand new World Wrestling Federation Champion. As the press watches on, at this time, to present the title belt to the new Champion, our president, the distinguished Jack Tunney.

[shaking Ric's hand and handing him the title] Congratulations, Ric Flair, on becoming the undisputed Champion of the World Wrestling Federation.

Let me just say, after video-distorting the belt that proclaimed me the REAL world's champion, I'm gonna tell you all, with a tear in my eye, this is the greatest moment in my life. When you walk around this world and you tell everybody you're #1, the only way you get to stay #1, is to be #1, and this is the only title in the wrestling world that makes you #1! When you are the king of the WWF, you rule the world! Think about it like that. Mr. Perfect, the Brain — WOO!!!

Let's give a big one...

WOOO!!!

You did it! I was never so impressed with anything I've ever seen in all my life! He went out there for over sixty minutes, never took a bad step! Took it to Hogan, took it to the Undertaker, took it to whoever got in that ring! That's why he is — and you call him now — the real world's heavyweight champion!

Bobby, we're not the kind of guys to say, "we told you so," but we...

Told you so!

Very good. Ric Flair, you have made World — [off-camera] put that cigarette out! — you have made World Wrestling Federation history here tonight.

It's the greatest moment of my life. I wanna jump, I wanna party, but I gotta tell you like this. For the Hulk Hogans, and the Macho Mans, and the Pipers, and the Sids: now it's Ric Flair, and you all pay homage to the man! WOOO!!! I love it!

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.

Last time I saw Tugboat... Typhoon... Buffoon, whatever he is, run that fast is when they opened up a lunch line at the free buffet.

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?

Now remember that, when a man sticks his hand out to shake hands with you, you shake it...and then kick him really hard when he's not looking.
