Fly me to the moon Ricky! I want a high flyer Rumble! Please Please Please. Throw some Hardy Boyz, Rockers, RVD, Sabu, Billy Kidman, Kota Ibushi and your favorites :)
You called Raphael Raphael in the beginning, you started calling him Michelangelo. Lol. Easy mistake, bro. Hahaha. Thank you so much for this nostalgic Rumble. You’re right, cartoons back in the 80’s were indescribably amazing. Saturday mornings were awesome. I couldn’t wait for every Saturday. I think I could live to be over 100 and I’ll always miss those days.
My goodness! Papa Smurf must have taken a little sipp from one of Gargamels Elixiers 😂 What a fun Rumble, Ricky. I had a blast watching it. Especially Papa Smurf gave me a good laugh. Also Megatron was clearly MVP.
Lion-O had to face all the ThunderCats in trials to earn the title of Lord. He faced Panthro in strength, Tigra in stealth, Cheetara in speed & the kittens in cunning. Side note: I had a huge crush on Cheetara when I was younger. Megatron absolutely was the MVP of this rumble. Hope he gets a second chance. When I was younger, I had almost all my action figures wrestle. I wrote up move lists & played it like D&D with dice rolls & rolling for control. A suggestion I have for a Rumble is the Rivals Rumble. 15 pairs of rivals, whether friendly or deadly enemies, face off for a chance at the Champions Rumble.
I was born in the late 70's but was a kid in the 80's, so I love these 80's Rumbles. I even like a lot of the 90's cartoons too. Entertaining as always, keep up the good work. 😀
You're very welcome Ricky. I get my wrestling fix through you. My friend always gets a kick out of my favorite wrestling time period being the 80's and up until WCW fell apart, but to me it was more fun then. I have a funny, maybe not funny story about Lex Luger and Kevin Nash that I probably shouldn't tell on RUclips.@@RickyJSports
Best part of growing up in the 80's was Saturday Morning Cartoons. Glad to hear are friendly neighbors in the north had them as well. THUNDER...THUNDER...THUNDERCATS...Hooooo
@@RickyJSports Have you thought about starting your own E-Fed? I've always wanted an all Simpsons type wrestling show. Mr. Burns would be Vince MCMahon and Smithers would (naturally) be his assistant/Stooge. I think that would be cool.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane with this Rumble. I had a lot of great memories with the cartoons featured here. I would love to see a part 2 to this Rumble. Keep up the great work with the videos and Rumbles. Can't wait to see the next one. Congratulations to the winner of the Rumble.
Fantastic rumble as always Ricky! Just thought I'd put forward my final bosses rumble suggestion again. Hopefully you can make it happen at some point! 🤞

The following thirty combatants have been featured several times in this series, few of them have won this rumble before and yet only ‘one’ of them would be going to this season’s finale. We’ve seen many surprises take place during this match, and we’ve seen some unlikely competitors making it farther than initially. Appropriately, it all came down to two rivals from one of the most popular eighties cartoons in the history of television. And for one superstar, this victory marked the biggest moment in the history of this series. Lion-O, the ‘mane’ protagonist of the ‘Thundercats’ series, first brought to life by Count Chocula himself, Larry Kenney. The leader and hereditary ‘Lord of the Thundercats’, Lion-O arrived on Third Earth as an adult but didn’t get a chance to age naturally (So one would say he’s a child in an adult’s body). With his super strength, endurance, and agility, this cunning, skillful fighter fought tooth and nail against Mumm-Ra and his horde of sinister demonic foes. We’ve seen him fight in this series before and winning rumbles like this are rare and a few. Lion-O should make the most of this victory, for if he picks his spots well, he may stand a chance at winning the champion’s rumble. Who was my MVP of this 80’s rumble? Let’s get down to the numbers: Of the thirty superstars featured in this bout, only THIRTEEN competitors secured the most eliminations. The highest count reached ‘5’ eliminations, which is four times higher than the average ‘1’ elimination. I give the Golden MVP for ‘coolest’ performance to… ‘two’ candidates today: Voltron… and Megatron Coming in at number one, Voltron delivered the highest elimination count of the entire match and for a moment it seemed as though he could’ve made history this season as the superstar to enter number one and come in as the victor. However, it was Megatron who ultimately ended Voltron’s run and while he was one elimination short, he was able to secure the longest time in this match, if not the longest time I have ever seen take place during this season. Neither one of these competitors emerged as the victor, but it would be a delight to see these guys compete again in the near future. The Dull Participation Medal for the ‘lamest’ performance goes to: Optimus Prime How ironic that Megatron’s ultimate rival and someone who introduced this match at the start of the episode would be receiving this medal. Many of my fellow readers would ask: Why? Optimus had high expectations of coming into this match as the heavy favorite to win, only for his time to be cut short by one of the dumbest characters in cartoon history, and yet one of the most popular, Homer Simpson. Ironically enough, these two have competed together on CAW shows like SCAW, and they’ve had their share of matches with each other before. For Prime, we know he can perform better than the way we’ve seen him in the past. If he can prove so by securing a vital win before this season is over, he may stand a chance at making it to the finals. Another match is wrapped up this season as ‘Thundercats’ star Lion-O prepares to storm his way into the finals. Will the results of this match call for a ‘90’s’ rumble? Are there any cartoons between the 2000’s and 2020’s who’d make for worthy candidates into the finale? Will this series branch its way to stars from animated ‘movies’? But the biggest question of them all: Who’s next?
Love your analysis. Can you also start listing the contestants who fall victim to the RickyJ curse? That would help later doing a RickyJ cursed rumble later (which I suggested already)
I totally remember those episodes of the ThunderCats where Lionel had to challenge each other ThunderCat in their individual strength and prove he was the legitimate leader... they were among the best all time '80s cartoon episodes
New subscriber and love the content (especially the rumbles)! I know I am new to the channel and maybe he has made an appearance, but one iconic late 80s/90s dad I would love to see is Dan Conner (John Goodman) from Roseanne. I think he would make a great addition to the TV dad lineup! Keep the content coming! Thank you!
That was excellent Ricky. I could tell you loved calling it too. The Voltron-Megatron feud was epic. Hope you’ll do a 1 on 1 CPU vs CPU match between the 2. Megatron’s performance was epic. Loved the final 3. We seem to be seeing a pattern here of competitors celebrating too early. I too am partially colourblind btw.
Thanks again for entertaining all of us Ricky! Mumra for MVP! A Thundercats final 3 reunion and a great win for Lion-O! Thundercats ho!!🦁🐆 Cheers, Mike L 😎🇨🇦✌🏼
Hell yeah Voltron and Megatron both need to be in an MVP rumble they both kicked some major but and lasted into the 20's. Would love to see them go at it again
You can ask your momma, your sister, your wife, and your daughter, why they call me the big blue booty daddy! BIG POPPA SMURF IS YOUR HOOK-UP, HOLLA IF YOU HEAR ME!
As always a fantastic Rumble! I'm not a WWF historian, but I'd say that Sgt Slotter WAS a good guy at first, taking on the likes of The Iron Shiek, but then after he went on Rowdy Roddy Piper's show he became a bad guy. Piper convinced him that he was being disrespected and made fun of by the U.S. civilians for serving in the military and using violence to defend his country.
I absolutely love these rumbles , more than the real people rumbles. I think maybe because I pretty much had all these toys and played with them in a similar fashion. Sure , Megatron for MVP but I think Voltron gets a look in. Also , one of the best finishes, good always wins in the end . Keep up the good work Ricky 😊
I agree. I'm an early 80's kid so these slap. I stopped watching wrestling in the mid-90's so don't really have a reference frame for all the newer real people.
I cheered on the Overgrown Homer elimination just as much as I did for fake Kirb in one of the previous rumbles. That Homer was a cheater Papa Smurf had to be Hogan is disguise! WTF!!! Panthro and Megatron are the real MVP in this Rumble!
Two of my two cousins who are twins were named after the Chipmunks as my mom and my uncles and aunts had probably seen the Chipmunks cartoons growing up: each of them had Alvin as the first name while Simon and Theodore are second names.
Voltron was the shit! If you ever get the chance watch the episode of robot chicken with Voltron. He's to another 8 season of rumbles. Love these rumbles and always puts a smile on my face when I'm having a rough day.
I did that with my figures. But Lion-O would always get screwed. Until he finally won the title. And through a fluke, three seconds later Alfred E. Neumann won the title.
You should do an arch enemies rumble including both wrestlers and characters from all different things! Eh- Hulk Hogan and Andre, Batman and Joker, etc
Another excellent one. I'm still waiting for the "forgotten cartoons" one. And IF you do that one, you should put it in one of those great High School arenas you used to hold a few past rumbles in! Like because they're "forgotten" cartoons they don't have the budget for a big-time arena! I had my action figures have street fights, not wrestling matches. Would you qualify King Of The Hill, or The Terrible Thunder Lizards as "Forgotten"? Dinosaurs could also qualify there, and there was some old cartoon which had like 5 dinosaurs, each with special abilities. And another "forgotten" At least now, could be the Original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Hello Mr Ricky J. Just watched your 80s cartoon rumble and I came up with an interesting idea. I don’t know if you can do this but if it’s possible maybe you could do a movie/cartoon villains rumble. You could have 1. Megatron 2. Skeletor 3. Mumm- Ra 4 cobra Commander 5 Darth Vader 6 kylo Ren 7 The emperor 8 The joker 9 Lex Luthor 10 magneto 11Gargamel 12. Lord Zedd 13.Shredder 14.Dr Claw 15.Count Dooku 16. Darth Maul 17.Loki 18 Thanos 19. Serpentor 20 Gaston 21. Captain Hook 22. Bane 23. Freddy Krueger 24. Terminator 25. Agent Smith 26. Red Skull 27. Dr. Doom 28. Lord Voldemort 29.Jafar 30. Hans Gruber
Hi Ricky, if you put wrestlers into a tag team in the settings they WILL team up in rumbles! It would be lengthy but I just thought I'd let ya know! Much love!
Hi RJ did u know Vonton was remake by power rangers. Thanks for this RR now i can watch the 80s and ,90s cartoons
Not gonna lie, that was a very satisfying finish. And yeah, Megatron absolutely earned his MVP status.
thx dude
@@RickyJSports Bigger question, why wasn't Sgt Slaughter in the Live Action movie?
The short lived Mummra and Papa Smurf alliance was kind of fitting. They could be a tag team: the mommas and the papas.
Or The Mummra and the Papa. 🎉
And i am sure that would be a Californian Dream to see happening.
The Undertaker dressed up as Homer Simpson!!! LMFAO!!!! That really got me, for some reason 🤣
Me expecting a 4ft skinny smurf to enter the arena and having my mind blown. Loved this Rumble.
What an ending brother! You couldn't write a better story. He is the leader for a reason.
Fly me to the moon Ricky! I want a high flyer Rumble! Please Please Please.
Throw some Hardy Boyz, Rockers, RVD, Sabu, Billy Kidman, Kota Ibushi and your favorites :)
Oh I'm gonna enjoy this Rumble. Bringing me back to my childhood and watching cartoons on Saturdays. Thank You for making this Rumble
Starscream sneaking up on Megatron and trying to eliminate him was perfect
Love your videos.they remind me of growing up in the 80s.Ithink homer was saying prayers and eating his vitamins
Hahaha my dad will love this! Definitely will remind him of his childhood
You called Raphael Raphael in the beginning, you started calling him Michelangelo. Lol. Easy mistake, bro. Hahaha. Thank you so much for this nostalgic Rumble.
You’re right, cartoons back in the 80’s were indescribably amazing. Saturday mornings were awesome. I couldn’t wait for every Saturday. I think I could live to be over 100 and I’ll always miss those days.
Great to see all these heavy hitters showing up and dropping intros for Ricky, mad respect
My goodness! Papa Smurf must have taken a little sipp from one of Gargamels Elixiers 😂
What a fun Rumble, Ricky. I had a blast watching it. Especially Papa Smurf gave me a good laugh. Also Megatron was clearly MVP.
How am I just seeing this? Love it!!
Thanx Macho Optimus Diaz for another gr8 tumble 😁👍
...and we also have Scott Steiner as Big Poppa Smurf HAHAHAHA!!!!!
This was freaking great! Please do some more of this, I will watch them all.
I will man!!
Lion-O had to face all the ThunderCats in trials to earn the title of Lord. He faced Panthro in strength, Tigra in stealth, Cheetara in speed & the kittens in cunning. Side note: I had a huge crush on Cheetara when I was younger.
Megatron absolutely was the MVP of this rumble. Hope he gets a second chance.
When I was younger, I had almost all my action figures wrestle. I wrote up move lists & played it like D&D with dice rolls & rolling for control.
A suggestion I have for a Rumble is the Rivals Rumble. 15 pairs of rivals, whether friendly or deadly enemies, face off for a chance at the Champions Rumble.
Finally, Lion-O gets a break, and gets to go to the champions rumble!
I was born in the late 70's but was a kid in the 80's, so I love these 80's Rumbles. I even like a lot of the 90's cartoons too. Entertaining as always, keep up the good work. 😀

Awesome rumble one of my fav this season keep it up ricky u are so great making these videos
Great rumble the characters were off the chart homer and bart lol but took me down memory lane put a smile on my face thanks bud
Holy cow, is it me? or do the Chipmunks look like rejects from the StarFox universe, hahaah!
Hahaha
@@RickyJSports Have you thought about starting your own E-Fed? I've always wanted an all Simpsons type wrestling show. Mr. Burns would be Vince MCMahon and Smithers would (naturally) be his assistant/Stooge. I think that would be cool.

Such a sic watch man!!! 💔 over that Panthro elimination. Great job!!!
Thx so much!!!
As the host of Saturday Morning Cartoons N Cereal show this was so fun thanks man
Absolutely loved this Rumble
Oh man. I gotta give mvp to Megatron. Runners up to panthro and voltron. You the man Ricky J. Great Rumble.
Seeing Megatron and Voltron go at it, I kinda need a Robotic Rumble! And Johnny 5 has to win
What a blast from the past! Very entertaining, absolutely loved it 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
An amazing rumble to watch and awesome final 3 as well, the thunder cats took over this rumble!
Fantastic rumble as always Ricky! Just thought I'd put forward my final bosses rumble suggestion again. Hopefully you can make it happen at some point! 🤞

Love the stats man !
I totally remember those episodes of the ThunderCats where Lionel had to challenge each other ThunderCat in their individual strength and prove he was the legitimate leader... they were among the best all time '80s cartoon episodes
I agree I miss the 80s so much

I think he would make a great addition to the TV dad lineup! Keep the content coming! Thank you!
That Megatron and Voltron feud had me at the edge of my seat
That was a Big Poppa Pump Smurf!!
That was the best rumble I've ever seen on RUclips!!!!!!! Lion-O and Mumm-Ra!!! You should do a tag team tournament!!!!
Thx man!!! I might!!
@@RickyJSports you're very welcome! Voltron was the extremely best creation!!! And Leo and Raph fighting was classic! Lol! MVP: Megatron
epic this is gonna be a fun one LETS GOOO cool ai vs ai series i love it so glad im subscribed to this channel thanks !
Canada vs USA, or 30 wrestlers from 30 different countries? 80s cartoons were the best!
That was excellent Ricky. I could tell you loved calling it too. The Voltron-Megatron feud was epic. Hope you’ll do a 1 on 1 CPU vs CPU match between the 2.
Megatron’s performance was epic. Loved the final 3. We seem to be seeing a pattern here of competitors celebrating too early.
I too am partially colourblind btw.
MUMM-RA had a bit of lag there at the end lol
Thanks again for entertaining all of us Ricky! Mumra for MVP! A Thundercats final 3 reunion and a great win for Lion-O! Thundercats ho!!🦁🐆
Cheers,
Mike L 😎🇨🇦✌🏼
I put all my favorite toy figures in a toy wrestling ring. Snake eyes was usually my fav and his finisher was the old school frankensteiner.
Ricky I saw GiJoe. , Transformers, thunder cats..silver hawks...from 4pm to 600pm...golden age of 80s cartoons...😅.
loved silverhawks!
The fight of nostalgia lol
Hell yeah Voltron and Megatron both need to be in an MVP rumble they both kicked some major but and lasted into the 20's. Would love to see them go at it again
pantro was in there for a long time. All I used to do is put these guys in my WWF ring and wrestle with them even when I was a teen.
Damn, Papa Smurf is an absolute unit.
When Megatron came out and you screeched out retreat. That sounded more like Starscream than Megatron.
'The Simpsons' is actually the longest running show period, animated or otherwise. Crazy, I remember when they started on 'The Tracey Ullman Show'.
I remember going to a house show back in the day where the Sarge was the champ against warrior. 80's crtoons were the best.
Copyright law prevents us from hearing that sweet Duck Tales music when Scrooge showed up
Big Papa Pump Smurf.
Papa Smurf? More like Kimbo Smurf, lol!
You can ask your momma, your sister, your wife, and your daughter, why they call me the big blue booty daddy! BIG POPPA SMURF IS YOUR HOOK-UP, HOLLA IF YOU HEAR ME!
When Megatron was eliminated, I was like "Nooooo!"
This was AWESOME!!!!!!!!
thanks big guy
That Voltron is indeed legit!
As always a fantastic Rumble! I'm not a WWF historian, but I'd say that Sgt Slotter WAS a good guy at first, taking on the likes of The Iron Shiek, but then after he went on Rowdy Roddy Piper's show he became a bad guy. Piper convinced him that he was being disrespected and made fun of by the U.S. civilians for serving in the military and using violence to defend his country.
This was great! Panthro going Goldberg on everyone! 😁
Haven't seen the video yet. Just on the intro I had to say thanks. ❤
Bart looked like a cross between Bart and Beavis
Wow awesome yasss 👏🏻👏🏻
Excellent.
Hey Ricky! Awesome rumble. For a part 2 can you please put some Gargoyles in the Rumble? Thanks!!!
Final 3 AWESOME! Finals .... EPIC!
What game did you do the custom characters in?
I absolutely love these rumbles , more than the real people rumbles. I think maybe because I pretty much had all these toys and played with them in a similar fashion. Sure , Megatron for MVP but I think Voltron gets a look in. Also , one of the best finishes, good always wins in the end . Keep up the good work Ricky 😊
I agree. I'm an early 80's kid so these slap. I stopped watching wrestling in the mid-90's so don't really have a reference frame for all the newer real people.
Good job with the Prime voice.
Looks like Bart Simpson went same barber as Vanilla Ice
I cheered on the Overgrown Homer elimination just as much as I did for fake Kirb in one of the previous rumbles. That Homer was a cheater
Papa Smurf had to be Hogan is disguise! WTF!!!
Panthro and Megatron are the real MVP in this Rumble!
Megatron was definitely the MVP I have been waiting for the final two to be characters who were enemies in the same show
70’s cartoon rumble I’m that old
How do you do those voices? It's some electronic effect gimmick, isn't it?
That Voltron and Megatron are 🔥 🎉
That Optimus Prime voice sounded like an Optimus/Jesse Ventura hybrid
Me finding out Ricky j is way older than I thought he was lmao
Two of my two cousins who are twins were named after the Chipmunks as my mom and my uncles and aunts had probably seen the Chipmunks cartoons growing up: each of them had Alvin as the first name while Simon and Theodore are second names.
Voltron was the shit! If you ever get the chance watch the episode of robot chicken with Voltron. He's to another 8 season of rumbles. Love these rumbles and always puts a smile on my face when I'm having a rough day.
I did that with my figures. But Lion-O would always get screwed. Until he finally won the title. And through a fluke, three seconds later Alfred E. Neumann won the title.
Definitely needs more parts
You should do an arch enemies rumble including both wrestlers and characters from all different things!
Eh- Hulk Hogan and Andre, Batman and Joker, etc
what a great rumble with canadian voice actor Peter Cullen. i wood have like to seen more bad guys in it. you need to mvp rumble please.
Do you remember Saturday Supercade in the 80s Peter Cullen did Mario's voice.
Papa Smurf WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THE SMURFS RUN WILD ON YOU
I think you got Megatron and Starscream mixed up 😂😂😂
Another excellent one. I'm still waiting for the "forgotten cartoons" one. And IF you do that one, you should put it in one of those great High School arenas you used to hold a few past rumbles in! Like because they're "forgotten" cartoons they don't have the budget for a big-time arena! I had my action figures have street fights, not wrestling matches. Would you qualify King Of The Hill, or The Terrible Thunder Lizards as "Forgotten"? Dinosaurs could also qualify there, and there was some old cartoon which had like 5 dinosaurs, each with special abilities. And another "forgotten" At least now, could be the Original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Papa Smurf is JACKED💪
peds!!
5 episode set. Formally anointing Lion-O as Lord of the Thundercats
It was incredible
PAPA TRT SMURF 😂😂😂😂😂

Yes 80s part 2 rumble with Heathcliff
Hi Ricky, if you put wrestlers into a tag team in the settings they WILL team up in rumbles! It would be lengthy but I just thought I'd let ya know! Much love!
Great rumble
thanks dude
...and I'll form... the Head!
