Learn about the Undertaker's victory, the 1992 Royal Rumble won by Ric Flair, and Wrestlemania IX events in League of Legends Part 7.

The Undertaker won his bout, leading to official outrage and a rematch ordered for 6 days later. Hogan won back the title, but under controversial circumstances, and the title was again declared vacant. The vacancy was to be filled by the 1992 Royal Rumble, which Ric Flair won. At Wrestlemania VIII, Hogan had his final match in the WWF against Sid Vicious. He was forced out of retirement when Money Inc. assaulted his friend, Brutus Beefcake. Hogan returned and formed a tag team with Beefcake, managed by Money Inc.'s former manager, Jimmy Hart. They challenged Money Inc. for their Tag Team titles at Wrestlemania IX, but lost via disqualification. Hogan then watched the main event where Yokozuna threw salt in the eyes of WWF Champion Bret Hart and pinned him. Mr. Fuji dared Hogan to challenge Yokozuna for the title immediately, which Hogan did and won for a fifth time. Due to this match, Yokozuna had the shortest title reign in history, approximately 180 seconds (3 minutes). At the King of the Ring, Hogan defended against Yokozuna and lost due to a mysterious photographer and a fireball that burned Hogan's face. Hogan then left for WCW, where he won the WCW World Title 6 times, before returning to the WWF with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall as the NOW when the two federations merged.

The Iron Sheik was discovered at the 1972 Olympics by AWA promoter Verne Gagne. In 1983, known as the Great Hosein, he won his first title, the Canadian Tag Team Championship, with partner the Texas Outlaw in 1978. He debuted in the WWWF in 1979 and won the first ever Battle Royal in Madison Square Garden, earning a title shot at then-champion Bob Backlund, who pinned him later that night after a 30-minute battle. The Iron Sheik returned to the WWF in 1983 and defeated Bob Backlund on December 26, 1983, with his finisher, the Camel Clutch. He lost the belt later to Hulk Hogan and teamed up with Nikolai Volkoff to win the Tag Team Championship at Wrestlemania I. He eventually left the WWF, then returned again in the early '90s with little success, wrestling in various independent promotions beyond the age of 60 before retiring.

Ivan Koloff began wrestling at age 23 in 1965. He ended up in the WWWF in 1970 and ended Bruno Sammartino's record-breaking 8th title reign on January 18, 1971. Pedro Morales won the title 3 weeks later. He spent the rest of his wrestling years in tag teams, with his best teammates being Nikita Koloff and Krusher Kruschev. He continued wrestling through the mid-1990s until he retired and now trains new wrestlers.

Ivan Putski was known for his huge physique. He won the World Class American Tag Team Championship with partner Jose Lothario in 1973. He teamed with Tito Santana to capture the WWWF Tag Team titles from Johnny and Jerry Valient on October 22, 1979. They held the titles for 6 months before losing them to the Samoans. When his son Scott Putski stepped into the ring, Ivan retired until 1997 when he teamed with his son to defeat the father-son team of Jerry "the King" Lawler and Brian Christopher.

Jerry "the King" Lawler helped to create the USWA, the United States Wrestling Association, a federation out of Memphis, Tennessee, where he was the main star and held the title numerous times. His most notable feuds in the WWF were with Bret "Hitman" Hart from 1995-1996, and with Jake "the Snake" Roberts in 1996. He is now one of the main ringside commentators for the WWE.

Jimmy Hart started out in Memphis with Jerry Lawler. He managed many wrestlers up to main event status, most notably the Honky Tonk Man, Hulk Hogan, and Jesse "the Body" Ventura. He also composed entrance themes for WWF and WCW superstars.

Jimmy Snuka began wrestling in the NWA and, teamed with "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff, captured the NWA Tag Titles in 1978. In the early 1980s, Snuka made his way to the WWF, where he was managed by Captain Lou Albano. Albano got Snuka a title shot against the current Champion Bob Backlund in a steel cage match. Snuka performed his Superfly Leap from the top of the cage, but Backlund moved and won.
