Maybe not the worst, but Rey Mysterio's record-setting performance at the 2006 Rumble is way overrated. Most of the time, he was chilling out in the corner or vomiting on the apron.

Taka at the 2000 Rumble where his comedy spots ended up getting him legit injured when he got tossed outside. King was hysterical for that spot tho "Can we see the little Chinese guy get eliminated again?" Oh, King...

Right, not counting those booked to be bad.
1988 - Probably one of the Killer Bees. 1989 - Ron Bass is in there for over ten minutes, does nothing of note. 1990 - Dino Bravo - really sloppy offence, nearly screws up his elimination, and manages to make his trying to save Quake look so weak, it's as if he's double crossing the big guy. 1991 - Hercules is in this match for 38 minutes. Can't mind a thing he does. 1992 - Haku/Sags/DiBiase/Bossman all make great use of very limited time. Berzerker gets thrice as much and is anonymous. 1993 - Got to be Damian Demento. 1994 - See, I immediately went to Sparky Plugg, but actually he's got this thing of always going over to try and help Bret or Luger like a "try hard" newbie face, which I like. So, Sir Mo? 20 plus minutes, useless to help Mabel, and no cardio to do anything of note. Even Greg Valentine gets more memorable moments in. 1995 - Mantaur is memorable through existence, so Aldo Montoya. 1996 - Tatanka. 1997 - Latin Lover actually gets in some moments in sod all time, HHH doesn't (but suffers from booking) and despite that, there's Mil Mascaras. 1998 - Actually I like Bradshaw's casual force of nature in this match. He wanders aimlessly around, but when he grabs someone, he thumps them, like a passing storm. 8-Ball's really good in this one too, bizarrely. Worst? Honky. 1999 - Tiger Ali Singh 2000 - Gangrel spends a lot of time in there punching and kicking. So do lots of others, but we can expect much better from most of them... 2001 - Grandmaster Sexay is fairly forgettable. 2002 - I think Albert is the only man in this Rumble out of all 30 not to either get a moment to look good, or a memorable Rumble moment. 2003 - Maven time wastes to get to the joke. 2004 - Matt Morgan, green and injures Helms. 2005 - Kenzzzzzzzo 2006 - Road Warrior Animal, by miles. Sloppy, mistimes his few moves, botches his own elimination THREE TIMES. Quite possibly the single worst Rumble performance of all time. 2007 - Possibly Chris Masters, who just doesn't seem to be arsed. 2008 - Hardcore Holly - busts Shawns nose, is sloppy, and basically ends his WWE career. 2009 - Mark Henry, in completely underwhelming fashion. 2010 - Jack Swagger, in likewise completely underwhelming fashion. 2011 - Alex Riley, and his accidental elimination. 2012 - Jinder. 2013 - Bo Dallas lasted for 20 minutes. 2014 - CM Punk and Seth Rollins start this match and last 48 minutes. One of them is at the centre of everything as a true main eventer, needling everyone, and genuinely producing a top class Rumble performance. The other man is CM Punk. 2015 - The bookers. Beyond that, Roman Reigns doing f*** all but win. 2016 - ryback.
That was fun!

Sid in 1992. Hulk Hogan was trying to shake his hand to show his good sportsmanship and clumsy Sid fell out of the ring. I want this to become the new "Jannetty jumped through the window" so bad.

Tazz in 2001 is definitely up there given what he did the year before at the Rumble. Also The Miz in 2007 and Godfather in 2013. Godfather was pretty surprising considering that he hadn't wrestled in years and got a huge pop only to be done after like 3 seconds.

Titus O'Neil in 2015 was pretty horrendous. Only in for about 5 seconds but still managed to botch his Elimination.
In the longevity stakes hard to top Bob Holly in 96. Just why?

Shelton Benjamin might be the worst overall Rumble performer of all time considering the number of Rumbles he appeared in. He was in EVERY Rumble from 03-10 and yet he only got eliminations in 3 of them, and they were all assists (with Charlie Haas in 03; the Muhhamed Hassan spot in 05; Viscera in 07). He also lasted less than a minute 3 separate times. There are a few Rumbles where he lasted a good amount of time but he was just a warm body in the ring.
In terms of longevity I can't think of anyone who was in so many Rumbles and yet never did shit in any of them.

You could see with the Godfather they were going for fastest elimination, but he botched it.
For me there's two:
2011: Alex Riley - you're getting to eliminate John Cena, all you have to do is stay in the ring. 1997: Mil Mascaras - dude is so allergic to jobbing he actually goes between the ropes to do his elimination spot.

Mil Mascaras if only for being so selfish he insisted on eliminating himself (even if it made him look like an idiot).

The worst performance is the idiot playing the music in 1995 who hits the Bulldog's theme while Shawn is still clearly flailing on the ring. He had not yet heard a bell or the referee declare it over but does it anyways. Distracts poor Davey Boy and ultimately costs him the match.

Sandman in 2007. He comes in uses the cane on two people and gets tossed by King Booker

Might not be the worst, but I remember Punk in 2014 doing jack shit the entire time he was in there.
EDIT: Damn, it's been three years already since Punk left.

Taka Michinoku getting dumped on his face and having it be shown by a laughing Jerry Lawler about three times during the rest of the Rumble has to be up there...

1993 - Got to be Damian Demento. I came in here to say Damien Demento. I think he entered whilst taker was being killed by Gonzales and nobody really acknowledged him or cared.

For a real answer, RVD had a bad 2002. Came out at 29 I think, did a frog splah and was immediately tossed out.
