Roddy Piper winning both titles in one night (RR '92)

[Aceorton]

Has there ever been any indication that the WWF even briefly considered going with this outcome? What have people said about it in shoots?

Not to say Flair's Rumble win wasn't iconic, but the reaction to Piper winning that night after already winning the IC would have been INSANE.

I doubt this was ever considered. With the way the WWF worked back then, they had who was winning the Rumble and the World Title worked out months in advance and weren't about to change things just for a big one-night pop.

It was just a tease, but given he lasts 34 minutes in the Rumble and makes it to the final six, it works well as one. Modern rumbles could do with more of the "well he clearly wont win the Rumble say ITK folk, but they've booked his Rumble story so clearly maybe he might just have chance" people.

It was a tease but a good tease, as a Piper fan I would loved to seen him win the title at less once. Him winning the IC title I don't think was the original plan but feel into place. The fact he got close to the end (I would made him a final 4 myself to really tease it.) made it such a good tease but it was a could it really happen?

Piper was on fire at that time. His “dare to dream” promo Was one of my favorites as kid.

Because Warrior had needed to forfeit the IC title after WM6, I couldn't get too excited about Piper possibly winning two titles. While it would have been a great story and a fitting end to the Rumble - though I was ecstatic that Flair won - you knew he'd not be able to keep both belts.

I bought into it. I would have actually liked to have seen that.
