Summary

The first time ever looking at WWF Wrestling Challenge and today we are taking it back to January 12th, 1992. Rumors have been swirling all over the place, even WWF Magazine, about what is going on with Shawn Michaels and Marty Janetty. The Rockers relationship is a very rocky one indeed. Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake invited both of them to come to The Barbershop and get to the bottom of the drama. Marty thinks that Shawn is only looking out for himself and that they are one of the best teams of all time and need to get back on track. Shawn agrees and they end up hugging. However, Shawn Michaels superkicks Marty Janetty and throws him through The Barbershop glass window! This changes the trajectory of both men and turns Shawn Michaels from a tag team wrestler into a singles superstar! Also, the road to WWF Royal Rumble 1992 is ongoing. The Undertaker, New Foundation, The Bezerker, Jake Roberts, Rowdy Roddy Piper are all in action! The Vacant WWF Championship is on the line in the Royal Rumble match on PPV. Plus, Ric Flair is calling himself the Real World’s Champion and Hulk Hogan wants the title back, but who will be the winner of Royal Rumble?!
