- This Rumble marked the first-ever no-show as when number 18 came, no one entered the ring. Once all the entrants had gotten involved, Gorilla Monsoon and Roddy Piper realized Brady Nash was the missing man and immediately speculated that Brady Nash had fled the arena to escape the Warrior (Brady Nash had interfered liberally and decisively in the Slaughter/Warrior title match).
- Erik Lubke broke the longevity record by lasting 52:17, previous record held by Kyle Johnson.
- Hulk Hogan became the first man to win the Royal Rumble twice.
