The WWF officially claimed the King Kong Bundy-SD Jones Wrestlemania 1 match was 9 seconds, but those who have kept track know it's a lot longer. Why would they do this?

The 1992 Royal Rumble was widely considered the best Royal Rumble ever. Why? I always found it strange that the critics' golden boy Ric Flair just happens to be the winner of what is considered the best ever.

How do you fake the head-butt? For the most part you can tell wrestlers put their hand in front, but Dynamite Kid, Junkyard Dog, and Harley Race are three wrestlers that didn't.

In Shawn's book "Heartbreak and Triumph", he says, "Business wasn't great, but it had picked up a little during Kevin's run." Yet other stuff I've read has said the WWF was at its lowest point during Diesel's run. What's the truth?

The 1992 Royal Rumble IMO was the greatest beause the Winner was crowned champ that night. I always wanted Sid to win it and am always pissed whenever I watch and see Hogan pull him out. SHouldnt Hogan have become the heel that night?

and business started to slow down when Diesel was champ however I think it was the lowest when HBK was champ...

I hope that happens again, but it doesn't make me enjoy the match any more. A large amount of the Rumble consists of wrestlers trying to throw another one out of the ring. It's still enjoyable, but it makes it harder for me to judge matches compared to your typical match.

Royal Rumble 92 isn't the best one, but it had the best overall talent pool easily.

Best Royal Rumble of all-time was 1990.

I'm just going by Match of the Year polls. From what I've read, it's the only Rumble match that's considered one of the best matches of any year.
