Royal Rumble Winning Entry Number

[Johnny]

Boring day at work today so I got to thinking, if for each Royal Rumble over the years, I had bet on the winning entry number as being my age at the time of the Rumble, how successful would I have been?

So i've crunched the numbers, and these are the years you would have had to have been born for this system to pay off even a little bit (though if your birthday is early January, you'd need to add 1 to the 'Birth Year' column):

Year	Winner	Entry Number	Winning Birth Year
1987	One Man Gang	19	1968
1988	Hacksaw Jim Duggan	13	1975
1989	Big John Studd	27	1962
1990	Hulk Hogan	25	1965
1991	Hulk Hogan	24	1967
1992	Ric Flair	3	1989
1993	Yokozuna	27	1966
1994	Bret Hart	27	1967
1994	Lex Luger	24	1970
1995	Shawn Michaels	1	1994
1996	Shawn Michaels	18	1978
1997	Stone Cold Steve Austin	5	1992
1998	Stone Cold Steve Austin	24	1974
1999	Vince McMahon	2	1997
2000	The Rock	24	1976
2001	Stone Cold Steve Austin	27	1974
2002	Triple H	22	1980
2003	Brock Lesnar	29	1974
2004	Chris Benoit	1	2003
2005	Batista	28	1977
2006	Rey Mysterio	2	2004
2007	Undertaker	30	1977
2008	John Cena	30	1978
2009	Randy Orton	8	2001
2010	Edge	29	1981
2011	Alberto Del Rio	38	1973
2012	Sheamus	22	1990
2013	John Cena	19	1994
2014	Batista	28	1986
2015	Roman Reigns	19	1996
2016	Triple H	30	1986
2017	Randy Orton	23	1994
2018	Shinsuke Nakamura	14	2004
2018	Asuka	25	1993
2019	Seth Rollins	10	2009
2019	Becky Lynch	28	1991
2020	Drew McIntyre	16	2004
2020	Charlotte Flair	17	2003

I was born in 1981, so my only win would have been with Edge in 2010.

The 3 luckiest years, with 3 wins each are 1974, 1994 and 2004.  Not sure how 1984 missed out on that sequence, but it has zero wins.

none for 1972

I didn’t know Seth Rollins was 11 years old. He’s been in the WWE since he was an infant. He’ll be a monster when he hits his growth spurt

I win twice, 28 in 2014 and 30 in 2016

[Heartbreaker]

Shawn Michaels, John Cena and Randy Orton. Quite fitting for 94 as I have grown up watching them.

[Dean-o]

Nada for 1984.
