I'm not talking booking here. I'm talking dumbest moves a guy has pulled in the Rumble.
I'm marathoning the Rumbles on the network and there is usually a few bonehead moves each year.
There are classic ones like Savage pinning Yoko or Mil Mascaras (and Savage in 92 but they covered for him) diving out of the ring.
One that isn't mentioned is in 93 Earthquake came in and went straight after and eliminates Typhoon. Instead of taking out Jerry Saggs and Damien Demento with his giant partner, he just pulls that.

Why Faarooq chose jumping over the top rope to get away from Ahmed, when there are much simpler options (I dunno, crawling under the bottom rope?), has to be up there.
I mean...
DAMN!

eliminating Undertaker didn't go too well for Maven

Goldust's elimination in 2003. It's the kind of thing where you'd think... "Why didn't they just re-do the spot? That'd actually look better".

Nothing specific but anytime someone almost eliminates a person and another wrestler come over beating on the guy eliminating the other. I see this even when it's not a partner being eliminated. Makes no sense in kayfabe

Any time a guy's been eliminated while climbing the top rope to go for a diving move. They look like idiots every time.

I still maintain that Mil Mascaras did not jump over the top rope because he went between the ropes and climbed up to the top rope that way. His feet did not go from inside the ring to over the ropes to outside.

Makes no sense in kayfabe Similar to me and I can keep picking on Earthquake. He often would put a guy over the top and turn and walk away. I know you have to fake some close calls but that looks so dumb

Nation of Domination constantly attacking each other in the 98 Rumble. All five of them (Rock, D'Lo, Henry, Kama, and Faarooq) were in the match and I believe all five were even in the ring at the same time at one one point so if they would've worked together they would've easily dominated with at least one of them winning, but instead they just kept going after one of their fellow stablemates as soon as they entered. It just made them look really dumb.
Warlord during his two second performance in the 89 Rumble. Takes his time getting to the ring and then steps on the apron and poses, giving Hogan time to get ready for him and clothesline him out immediately after he stepped into the ring.
All of the dumbies who ran to the ring when Nexus was all in the ring by themselves in 2011. Stay outside and wait for help, or at least take you're time so you can survive the interval until help arrives.
Anyone who has ever climbed the top rope. Like seriously why would you do that? Nothing good can happen from doing that.

Well how would you explain Big Bossman in 2000 or Hornswoggle in 2008? The only time I remember them saying that was a rule was Piper stating it on commentary during the 91 Rumble when Savage didn't show up when his number was called due to getting chased out of the building by the Ultimate Warrior. I thought with Axel it was just played up that he never got into the ring because he was to injured too after getting beat up by Erick Rowan.

Why did Drew Carey eliminate himself? I thought he stood a good chance against Kane.

Alex "F**khead" Riley getting eliminated when he was meant to stay in. Miz and Cole saying how smart Alex Riley is in the ring and it going quiet only for Matt Striker and Jerry Lawler to say "Where is he?"

You must make your entrance before the next guy comes out. That's why Macho King was disqualified in 1991.

What about anytime a face has a heel up for a press slam and slams him to the mat instead of throwing him over the top rope? The British Bulldog doing that to Ric Flair in the 1992 Rumble comes to mind.

It's no secret that the rules of the Rumble only apply if they're mentioned in that Rumble, so trying to carry them over from year to year to point out botches is kind of a moot point.
