316. Bastion Booger (306)
Booger was supposed to be in 94 Rumble but ended up not showing up due to being "sick". Really he was just used to build suspense for Bret Hart's entrance. Hart had been injured earlier in the night and the announcers thought it was him that no showed at the number 25 spot. However, Hart would end up entering a few spots later with the announcers then saying that it was Booger who was the one who didn't show up.

315. Spike Dudley (305)
Spike was supposed to enter the 2004 Rumble but ended up not making it to the match due to being attacked by the departing Kane who chokeslammed him on the ramp leaving him unable to compete.

314. Gillberg (304)
The man they call Gillberg participated in the 99 Rumble. After he entered the ring, he started posing on the ropes and was dumped by Edge in just 7 seconds.

311. Tom Brandi (301)
The former Sal Sincere was in the 98 Rumble. At the time he was actually getting a mild push and was involved in a mini feud with Marc Mero. Whatever push he had was gone after his poor showing in the Rumble as he was eliminated by Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie in just 12 seconds.

310. The Sandman (300)
Sandman was in the 07 Rumble. He starting hitting everybody with his singapore cane before King Booker got the better of him and tossed him out after just 15 seconds.

309. James Ellsworth (NR)
The loveable loser was in this years Rumble. At first he wouldn't get in the ring out of fear for Braun Strowman who was standing tall. After being duped into entering by his former friend Dean Ambrose, Ellsworth was tossed by Strowman in brutal fashion after just 15 seconds.

308. Fake Razor Ramon (299)
The fake Razor only lasted 17 seconds in the 97 Rumble before Ahmed Johnson easily eliminated him.

307. Enzo Amore (NR)
The Certified G didn't last long in this years Rumble as he had the misfortune of entering when Brock Lesnar was standing tall in the ring. Lesnar clotheslined him and then tossed him in just 18 seconds.

306. Sylvan (298)
Sylvan was in the 06 Rumble. He tried to sucker Bobby Lashley but it ended up backfiring as Lashley heaved him out in 19 seconds

305. Timothy Well (297)
Well was in 95 Rumble as one half of the horrible Well Dunn tag team. Bulldog eliminated him in 23 seconds.

301. Tyler Reks (293)
Reks was in the 2011 Rumble. He had the misfortune of entering when there was just 4 members of Nexus in the ring. Not surprisingly, he was beat down and eliminated after 34 seconds.

300. The Boogeyman (292)
Boogeyman made his Royal Rumble in 2015 as a surprise entrant, as he never competed in one during his run in the mid 2000's. He only lasted 47 seconds, getting clotheslined and easily tossed by Bray Wyatt.

299. Muhammad Hassan (291)
One of the more controvorsial characters that's been in the WWE, Hassan hadn't made too many friends in the federation with his anti America rants. After entering the match everbody in the ring, both heel and face, ganged up on him and tossed him out after 54 seconds. Hassan didn't take it too well and decided to take his frusturations out on the entering Scotty 2 Hotty, attacking him in the aisle and putting him the dreaded camel clutch.

298. Ernest "The Cat" Miller (290)
The Cat had a cup of coffee in the WWE. He still managed to get in the 04 Rumble. He entered with Benoit and Orton both down. Instead of taking advantage of this situation he just decided to dance which resulted in Orton throwing him out in 56 seconds.

297. Tyler Breeze (289)
Prince Pretty's Royal Rumble debut last year was anything but as he was eliminated in a minute after getting lifted up in fireman's carry by AJ Styles and then punched off Styles shoulders by Roman Reigns and falling over the top rope.

296. Simon Dean (288)
Dean was in the 05 and 06 Rumbles. In 05 he spent his whole interval doing exercises outside the ring before the next entrant Shawn Michaels came out and beat him up before quickly eliminating him. 06 was another short stay as he was eliminated by Rey Mysterio and Triple H who he had foolishly tried to form a partnership with. His total ring time for 2 rumbles is only 1:05.

295. Rico (287)
Rico was in the 04 Rumble. He actually got a decent amount of offense on Orton in his time in. Orton however used an RKO to put a stop to that before dumping him out after 1:06.

294. Squat Team 1 (286)
Competed in 96 Rumble with his partner. Eliminated by Yokozuna in 1:11.

293. Psicosis (285)
Competed in the 06 Rumble as a member of the Mexicools. He had a mini match with his old WCW/ECW nemesis Rey Mysterio, who eliminated him with a headscissors after 1:15.

292. Michael Cole (284)
I know with the roster being so depleted by injuries that they were desperate for guys to fill out the Rumble in 2012, but did they really have to waste a spot on this guy? Cole got up from his commentary position to enter at #21. After avoiding everybody he was confronted by the next entrant, Kharma. The intimated Cole then jumped over the top to the apron to avoid her, but then was pulled off and eliminated by his brodcast partners for the night Booker T and Jerry Lawler after he lasted for 1:23.

291. Cibernetico (283)
One of the AAA wrestlers in the 97 Rumble. He lasted 1:25 before Mis Mascaras eliminated him.

290. Jimmy Del Ray (282)
The Gigolo was in the 95 Rumble as part of the Heavenly Bodies. He was the first elimination that night as Bulldog got rid of him after 1:25.

289. Latin Lover (281)
Latin Lover was another of the AAA guys in the 97 Rumble. He was backdropped out by Faaroog after 1:47.

288. Hakushi (280)
Hakushi started off as a promising heel. However by the time his of lone Rumble appearance in 96 he had turned face for some reason and ended up playing second fiddle in a team with Barry Horowitz. Pretty sad. Hakushi just lasted just under 2 minutes before Owen Hart dumped him out.

287. Max Moon (279)
Moon was in the 93 Rumble. Lawler eliminated him in 1:56 after he missed a spin kick in the corner.

286. Primo (278)
Despite being in the company since 2008, Primo has only made one Rumble appearance with that being in 2012. In 2009 he was one half of the Tag Team Champs with his brother Carlito, but only Carlito participated in the Rumble match while Primo was left out for some reason. In 2011 he was so low on the card that he couldn't even make the cut for the 40 man Rumble match. After being on Superstars jobber duty for two years, Primo would finally catch a break when his cousin Epico was called up to the main roster to team with him in late 2011. The duo would quickly win the Tag Titles leading to both getting spots in the 2012 Rumble match. Primo lasted a little under 2 minutes before getting backdropped out by Mick Foley.

2 points

285. Junkyard Dog (277)
JYD was in the first Rumble in 1988 which had 20 men. Despite getting the best position by drawing number 20, he only lasted 2:08 before getting dumped out by "Outlaw" Ron Bass.

284. Elijah Burke (276)
The future Pope had a brief appearance in the 08 Rumble. He entered the match late and was eliminated in 2:10 when Triple H threw Mick Foley into him causing both him and Foley to tumble out.

283. Bill DeMott (275)
DeMott got a decent push in late 02/early 03 which led to him getting a spot in the 03 Rumble. He was pretty dominant in his short stay before Tommy Dreamer entered with kendo sticks. Dreamer and Edge attacked DeMott with the sticks before he went out after a shot from Edge. While going out he would injure his wrist after it got tangled in the ropes. DeMott ended up retiring shortly afterwards and would serve as a commentator on Velocity for a little while.

282. Evan Bourne (274)
Bourne made his only Rumble appearance in 2010. Like most that year his stay was short and unmemorable although he did get to do his shooting star press on Dolph Ziggler. He was eliminated by CM Punk in 2:26.

281. Saba Simba (273)
Saba Simba was played by Tony Atlas who was a fairly big star in the company in the early/mid 80's. By the time he came back in 1990 he was in the twighlight of his career and was saddled with the horrible Saba Simba gimmick. Simba appeared in the 91 Rumble, lasting 2:27 before being outsmarted and eliminated by Rick Martel.

280. Bull Buchanan/B-2 (272)
Bull was in the 01 and 03 Rumbles. In 01, as a member of the Right to Censor, he was in for a little over 2 minutes before getting double teamed out by the Hardyz. Going into the 03 Rumble he had been teaming with John Cena as B-2. However on the Smackdown before the show Cena turned on him after a loss, injuring his shoulder in the process. In the Rumble the injured B-2 was easy prey as he was tossed by Edge in 24 seconds. This would end up being Bull's last appearance as he was released shortly afterwards which makes me wonder why they even had him in the match to begin with.

279. Boris Zhukov (271)
Zhukov was in the first Rumble in 88. He was eliminated by Jake Roberts and Jim Brunzell in 2:33.

278. Col. Mustafa (270)
Much better known as the Iron Sheik, he appeared in 92 Rumble for the vacant WWF Title. The way past his prime Sheik was dumped out fairly easily by Macho Man after 2:36.

277. "Rugged" Ronnie Garvin (269)
A former NWA World Champion, Garvin didn't do too much in his WWF run. In his lone Rumble appearance in 89 he was eliminated by Andre the Giant with a hiplock after 2:39.

276. Omori (268)
Omori was one of the many non roster nobodies that the WWF called upon to be in the 96 Rumble due to the lack of depth on their roster. Omori was in for 2:48 before getting eliminated by Jake Roberts.

275. Drew Carey (267)
Carey was in the 01 Rumble. He wasn't supposed to be in the match as he was just at the show hoping to get advice from Mr. McMahon on how to do a good ppv as was about to do one in the coming weeks. McMahon duped him into entering the Rumble just to be a jerk. Drew quickly ended up getting in a confrontation with Kane. After refusing a bribe from Carey, Kane was about to chokelslam him. Fortuantely for Drew, Raven showed up as the next guy and saved him by hitting Kane with a kendo stick. Drew used this opportunity to wisely climb over the top rope and eliminate himself after 2:54.

274. Doug Gilbert (266)
Gilbert apparently won a tournament for the USWA to get a spot in the 96 Rumble. He spent about his entire time in the match getting his ass handed to him by Vader who ended up eliminating him with press slam after 2:59.

273. The Blue Meanie (265)
Blue Meanie was in the 99 Rumble. He was one of the many that were eliminated by Mabel that year as he was tossed after 2:59.

272. Paul London (264)
London was in the 05 Rumble. He has probably had the nastiest elimination in the history of the match when Snitsky clotheslined him when he was on the apron into a back flip sell with London landing face first on the floor. It was so brutal that London had to be taken out on a stretcher.

271. "The Extraordinary Gentleman" Jack Gallagher (NR)
205 Live star competed in this years Rumble. He entered the ring with his umbrella and used it to attack all of the other guys in the ring with it. However when he tried to jump off the top rope and use it on Mark Henry, he was caught by the throat and heaved out of the ring for the first elimination of the match.

270. "The Natural" Butch Reed (263)
Reed was one of the original 20 in first Royal Rumble in 88. He has the distinction of being the first elimination in the history of the match when Jake Roberts dumped him as he was trying to help the Hart Foundation eliminate Tito Santana.

269. Tyson Kidd (262)
Competed in the 2011 and 2015 Rumbles. 011 was a pretty embarrassing performance as he entered with Cena and Hornswoggle in the ring and spent almost his whole time in the match taking moves and selling for the little guy. After taking an attitude adjustment and a mini attitude adjustment he was tossed by Cena in a little under a minute. 2015 wasn't anything to write home about either, as he was dumped by Daniel Bryan after just a little over 2 minutes.

268. Bushwhacker Luke (261)
Luke is one of the worst Rumble competiors in the history of the match as he only has a total time of 3:24 in three appearances. Most of it is from his first Rumble in 89 when he went for 3:08. In 91 he had one of the more funnier eliminations. He went into the ring doing his Bushwhacker march but was tossed by Earthquake in 4 seconds. He really didn't seem to care as he just continued doing his march back to locker room as if nothing happened. 95 was another real short run as Shawn Michaels tossed him in 12 seconds.

267. Sin Cara (260)
Competed in the 2013 Royal Rumble. He lasted for 3:27 before getting press slammed out by Ryback.

266. Jinder Mahal (259)
Competed in the 2012 and 2013 Rumbles. In 2012 he got quite possibly the biggest non reaction in the history of the match. He lasted 1:17 before getting tossed by his "brother in law" the Great Khali. In 2013 as part of 3MB, he was in for a little over 2 minutes before getting kneelifted out by Sheamus.

265. Kenzo Suzuki (258)
Kenzo was in the 05 Rumble. He was eliminated by Mysterio with a headscissors in 3:31.

264. "The Funkasaurus" Brodus Clay (257)
Brodus was in the 2013 Rumble. He was in for 3:47 before getting ganged up on and dumped out by five other wrestlers.

263. Nunzio (256)
Nunzio was in the 04 Rumble. He refused to get in the ring after his number was called and spent a lot of time sitting on the outside. Eventually he was forced in by John Cena. He then fell victim to the spear of Goldberg who then him press slammed out after 3:48. Nunzio was supposed to be in the 05 Rumble but didn't make it as he was bullied into giving up his number by Kurt Angle in a backstage segment.

262. Rick Steiner (255)
The Dog Faced Gremlin competed in the 94 Rumble along with his brother Scott. The Steiners caught a big break when Rick drew #3 after Scott had drawn #1. They doubled teamed #2 entrant Samu who was eventually eliminated by Scott. Unlike like other teams (Demolition, Hardy Boyz) in this situation the Steiners, who were never known for their intelligence, actually played it smart by just waiting for the next guy to double team instead of fighting each other. Unfortunately Kwang would screw this strategy up by spraying Rick with his green mist. The blinded Rick was easy prey for the next entrant Owen Hart who eliminated him after 3:57.

4 points

261. Tiger Ali Singh (254)
Tiger was in the 99 Rumble. He lasted 4:02 doing not much of note before getting tossed by Mabel.

260. Kenny Dykstra (253)
Dykstra competed in the 07 Rumble at just the age of 20. At the time he was in a feud with Ric Flair which included him actually gaining a couple of wins over Flair. After Flair had been eliminated from the match by Edge, Dykstra stupidly decided to mock him by doing Flair's strut and ended up getting tossed by Edge as well after 4:05.

259. Alex Riley (252)
The Miz's former apprentice made his Rumble debut in 2011. A-Ri was in for 2:50 before getting eliminated by Cena and Kofi in a botched spot. A few months later, Riley would turn face after splitting up with Miz. In the 2012 Rumble, Riley drew #2, conveniently starting the match against Miz who had been forced into entering at #1. Riley would nearly eliminate his former boss, but got too overzealous and was lowbridged out after 1:15.

258. Daniel Puder (251)
Puder earned a spot in the 05 Rumble by winning the Tough Enough competion. He spent his entire 4:09 getting chopped and beat up by Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, and Hardcore Holly before Holly eventually eliminated him. This was his only wrestling appearance after winning the contest as he was released shortly after.

257. Barry Horowitz (250)
Horowitz is finishing high on the countdown for someone who spent almost his whole career looking up the lights. Horowitz was in the 96 Rumble. He was in the midst of the biggest push of his career after scoring a couple of upset wins over Skip the Bodydonna. Horowitz went for 4:15 before Owen Hart eliminated him.

256. Zack Ryder (249)
Despite doing surprisingly well in standard battle royals throughout his career, the Long Island Iced Z hasn't had nowhere near as much luck in Royal Rumbles. All of his four appearances were short stays, with three of them being under a minute. 2010 was pretty much a burial for Ryder who up until that point was getting a fair push on ECW. He was tricked by CM Punk who hit him with a microphone then beat him up and eliminated him after 32 seconds. 011 was a little better as he surprisingly got a decent ammount of offense on both Punk and Bryan but still only lasted 43 seconds before Bryan eliminated him with a hiptoss. Ryder turned face later in the year and would become real over with the fans, thanks largely in part to his popular youtube show Z True Long Island Story. Ryder was rewarded with a push, culminating in a US Title victory in December. Unfortuately for Ryder, the bottom would quickly fall out on his push as he would become a mere pawn in the crappy Cena/Kane feud leading to Kane "injuring" him and causing him to lose his title to Jack Swagger. As a result of the injury angle he couldn't compete in the Rumble match. With them being so desperate for guys in the Rumble that year due to the large amount of legit injuries to their roster I have no clue why they felt it was so necessary to do this injury angle, especially with a popular babyface. He was in the Rumble in 2013, getting RKOed and tossed by Orton after 2:34. He was in again in 2015 in a comeback match after being out for a few months due to injury. He was tossed by Bray Wyatt in just a little over 30 seconds.

255. Scotty 2 Hotty (248)
Scotty was in the Rumbles from 2000 through 2002 as well as 2005. In 2000 did his dance number with his Too Cool buddies before Rikishi clotheslined him and Grandmaster Sexay then eliminated them. In 2001 he had the bad luck of coming in when just the Undertaker and Kane were in the ring. He was eliminated in under a minute after taking a double chokelslam. In 02 he was eliminated by DDP as he was attempting to do the worm on Christian. In 05 he never even made it to the ring as he was attacked in the aisle by the already eliminated Muhammad Hassan who put him in the camel clutch. His total ring time is 4:24.

254. Steven Dunn (247)
The other half of the Well Dunn. Dunn was in for 4:29 before getting eliminated by Aldo Montoya.

253. Christopher Nowinski (246)
Nowinski was in the 03 Rumble. He spent a lot of time on the outside as he just watched Jericho beat the crap of HBK. He would eventually get in and lasted 4:37 before Mysterio eliminated him. Mysterio used a headscissors to eliminate him. Yeah, shocker I know. During his time in Nowinski was hit with a botched dropkick by Edge and suffered one of many concussions that would lead to his premature retirement later in the year.

252. Sgt. Slaughter (245)
Sarge only competed in one Rumble in his long career. It was the 92 Rumble for the vacant WWF title. Slaughter had the sickest elimination of the night as he went out after a hard irish whip into the corner from Sid Justice after 4:37.

251. Lance Storm (244)
Storm was in the 02 Rumble. He was in 4:46 before being eliminated by Al Snow after a battle on the apron.

250. Xavier Woods (NR)
Xavier competed in this years Rumble as part of the New Day with Big E and Kofi Kingston. All three New Day members were wiped out at the same when Sheamus and Cesaro knocked them all over the top rope with a double clothesline.

249. The Brian Kendrick (243)
Kendrick was in the 09 Rumble. He immediately eliminated Kofi Kingston by pushing him as he was on the second rope but then foolishly celebrated by doing his stupid dance and was tossed by Triple H right after in just 15 seconds.

248. Ricardo Rodriguez (242)
With Alberto Del Rio out with a groin injury, his personal ring announcer Ricardo stepped up to the plate and entered the 2012 Rumble. Coming down in a crappy beat up car, Ricardo surprisingly managed to eliminate Justin Gabriel in an assist with Mick Foley before getting tossed by Santino after 2:19.

247. The Great Kabuki (241)
Kabuki was in the 94 Rumble in a one shot deal. He was one Mr. Fuji's hired guns to take out Lex Luger. Kabuki helped in the group elimination of Mabel but was then tossed by Luger after 2:46.

246. Darren Young (240)
Competed in the 2013 Rumble as part of the Prime Time Players tag team with Titus O'Neil. Darren helped in the group elimination of Brodus Clay before getting lowbridged out by Kofi after 2:51.

245. Skinner (239)
Skinner was in the 92 and 93 Rumbles. In 92 he was duped and eliminated by Rick Martel. In 93 he actually survived getting eliminated by Mr. Perfect by skinning the cat but Perfect then dropkicked him and eliminated him anyways when he got back in. His total time for two rumbles is 5:18.

244. "The Perfect 10" Tye Dillinger (NR)

Prichard was in the 95 Rumble as a member of the Heavenly Bodies. He was eliminated in 5:30 by Shawn Michaels.

6 points

238. Kharma (234)
Kharma became the third woman to enter a Royal Rumble, when she took part in the 2012 match. She was quite impressive in her short time in as she hit a implant buster on Dolph Ziggler and eliminated Hunico before Ziggler dumped her out from behind after 1 minute exactly.

237. El Torito (233)
Los Matadores mascot was in the 2014 Rumble as a lame comedy entrant. He actually managed to eliminate Fandango with a springboard dropkick before Roman Reigns press slammed him out of the ring onto Fandango.

236. "The Glamazon" Beth Phoenix (232)
Phoenix became the second woman to be in a Royal Rumble when entered the 2010 match. She actually managed to eliminate the Great Khali by kissing him and then easing him over the top. She then attempted to eliminate CM Punk as well but Punk hit her with the GTS before eliminating her after 1:37.

235. "Double J" Jeff Jarrett (231)
Jarrett might be the biggest underachiever when it comes to performances in Rumbles. Despite being a good wrestler who was always pushed decently, all three of the Rumbles he was in were short stays. He was pretty new to the federation when he made his Rumble debut in 94. You would think since that since he was such a new act that they had built up for weeks with vignettes, that they would give him a good showing to put him over. Instead he was eliminated by Randy Savage in just 1:19. Jarrett wouldn't appear in another Rumble until 1998. For some reason him and his manager at the time Jim Cornette attacked Owen Hart when he was making his entrance. This would prove to be a mistake as Owen, who had been taken to the back, returned the favor on Jarrett before tossing him out in just 1:05. Jarrett had another short outing in the 99 Rumble, getting eliminated by Triple H in 3:39.

234. Yoshi Tatsu (230)
Tatsu was in the 2010 and 2011 Rumbles. In 010 he was eliminated in only 29 seconds by Cena. He did much better in 011, going 5:35 before getting clotheslined out by Mark Henry.

233. Flash Funk (229)
Funk was in the 97 Rumble. He had pretty cool elimination as Vader caught him then tossed him over his head with Funk clearing the top rope and plummeting all the way down to the floor without even touching the apron or anything to break his fall.

232. Mojo Rawley (NR)
Mojo made his Rumble debut this year, staying in for 6:16 before becoming Braun Strowman's first victim.

231. Doink the Clown (228)
Doink was in the 94 and 95 Rumbles. In 94 he was eliminated by Bam Bam Bigelow, his rival at the time, after a press slam to the floor in which it looked like he hurt his knee on the landing. In 95 he was eliminated by Kwang after a superkick as he was on the apron after 4:50.

230. Justin Gabriel (227)
Gabriel was in the 2011 and 2012 Rumbles. In 011 he was eliminated by Danial Bryan in just 58 seconds after missing a 450 splash. In 012 he lasted 6:12 before getting eliminated by the unlikely combination of Mick Foley and Ricardo Rodriguez.

229. Tugboat/Typhoon (226)
Competed in the 91 and 93 Rumbles. In 91 as Tugboat he drew #30. Surprisingly he would go after his friend Hulk Hogan and nearly eliminated him. The Hulkster however landed on the apron, then came back in and eliminated Tugboat after a little over 2 and a half minutes. In 93 he was Typhoon and was teaming with Earthquake as the Natural Disasters. The two partners would end up going at it with Typhoon once again getting the short end of the stick as Quake eliminated him after a little over 5 minutes after Typhoon missed a charge in the corner.

228. Jimmy Uso (225)
Jimmy was in the 2014 Rumble along with his brother Jey. Jimmy was in for 7:46 before stupidly climbing the top rope and getting ensiguried by Seth Rollins, then pushed off and eliminated by Dean Ambrose.

227. Perry Saturn (224)
Saturn was in the 01 and 02 Rumbles. In 01 he was eliminated by Kane and in 02 he was eliminated by Stone Cold. His total time for two Rumbles is 7:59.

8 points

226. King Kong Bundy (223)
Bundy was in the 95 Rumble. He scored one of the quickest eliminations in the history of the match when he backdropped Mo of Men on a Mission out in just 4 seconds. He then got into a big man showdown with Mo's partner, the 500 pound Mabel. Mabel got the better of the exchange, eliminating Bundy in 3 minutes even.

225. Headshrinker Samu (222)
Samu was in the 93 and 94 Rumbles. In 93 he was grabbed by the throat by the Undertaker who then threw the Headshrinker out in a nice elimination. In 94 he was double teamed by the Steiners and was eventually eliminated. His total time his 8:02.

224. Mark Jindrak (221)

Grandmaster was in the 2000 and 2001 Rumbles. In 2000 he lasted 7:42 before getting eliminated by his fellow member of Too Cool, Rikishi. In 2001 he only lasted 1:03 before Kane eliminated him by hitting him in the head with a trash can.

221. Mantaur (219)
Considered by most as one of the worst characters ever in wrestling, Mantaur competed in the 95 Rumble. He lasted 8:51 which isn't bad at all when you take into account that the match only lasted a little over a half hour that year.

220. Raven (218)
Raven was in the 01 Rumble. He went a decent 8:51 before Kane tossed him out.

219. The Hurricane/Gregory Helms (217)
The Hurricane pretty much sucked at Rumbles. His first 3 Rumbles (02, 04, 05) were all short stays with his best time being just 1:04 in 05. In 02 he tried to double chokeslam Stone Cold and Triple H in a funny spot. He ended up getting tossed by the both of them in just 39 seconds. In 04 he was tossed in about 20 seconds by Matt Morgan and looked to nearly tear his ACL in the process. In 05 he was eliminated by Eddie Guerrero. In 07, as just Gregory Helms, he had his best showing going 6:50 before being eliminated by King Booker.

9 points

218. Bobby Lashley (216)
"The Great" Bobby Lashley made his only Rumble appearance in 06. He only lasted a little over 4 minutes but was pretty impressive in his short stay. He eliminated Sylvan and got a lot of offense in on both Kane and the Big Show, including an impressive dominator on Kane. Eventaully though the two giants would get him with a double chokeslam before tossing him.

217. Kevin Owens (215)
Owens made his Rumble debut in 2016. He eliminated AJ Styles but only lasted a disappointing 4:28, mainly due to the fact that he was already banged up pretty bad going in after taking a beating in last man stading match against Dean Ambrose earlier in the night.

216. Chainz (213)
Chainz of the DOA (Disciples of Appocalypse) was in the 98 Rumble. He lasted 4:56 and eliminated Goldust. He also had a cool elimination as Austin backdropped him out from one of the corners of the ring and he hit the steps face first on the way down.

215. Kevin Thorn (212)
Thorn was in the 07 Rumble. He was in for 6:15 and took part in the group elimination of Viscera before getting eliminated by Benoit.

214. Bart Gunn (211)
Gunn was in the 94, 95, and 97 Rumbles. He really didn't do much of note in any of them. In 94 he was eliminated by Diesel. In 95 he went at it a bit with his partner and "brother" Billy before both were eliminated by Crush. In 97 he was clotheslined out by Austin. His total time is 9:15.

213. Tajiri (210)
Tajiri was in the 03 and 04 Rumbles. In 03 he was eliminated by Jericho after attempting to put him in the tarantula. In 04 actually managed to apply it on Mark Henry but Rhyno the hit Henry with the gore which broke it loose and caused Tajiri to fall to the floor. His total time is 9:20

212. Duke "The Dumpster" Drosse (209)
Another Wrestlecrap inductee, Duke was in the 95 and 96 Rumbles. He did alright in 95, going for 8:13. 96 wasn't as good. Earlier in the night he won the right to be #30 after getting a fluke DQ win over Hunter Hearst Helmsley. His great position wouldn't help him much as he was eliminated in just 1:10 by Diesel and Kama.

211. Tommy Dreamer (208)
Dreamer was in the 03, 07 and 08 Rumbles. He didn't last too long in any of them. In 03 he brought with him a bunch of weapons that ended up being used against him, as Jericho and Christian hit him with a conchairto with trashcan lids before tossing him. In 07 he was eliminated by Kane. In 08 he was eliminated by Batista. His total time is 9:37.

210. Hunico/Sin Cara II (207)
Competed in the 2012 Rumble. Hunico did alright, lasting a solid 9 minutes exactly before getting launched out of the ring by Kharma. In 2015 as Sin Cara he was tossed by Bray Wyatt in under a minute.

209. Big Cass (NR)
Seven footer drew #1 in this years Rumble. Lasted for 9:57 before missing a big boot and straddling himself on the top rope, leaving him easy pickings for Braun Strowman who then knocked him over and out.

208. Hornswoggle (206)
Hornswoggle was in 2008 and 2011 Rumbles. At least in 08 he was part an angle as his "father" Mr. McMahon put him in the match as a act of "tough love". Hornswoggle hid under the ring for about 26 minutes, although he did come out briefly to pull out the Miz, before Mark Henry and Big Daddy V eventually got a hold of him. Finlay, later revealed to be Hornswoggle's real father, jumped the gun of his entrance to come save him with his shillelagh. Finlay was disqualified as a result and Hornwoggle despite never being eliminated just decided to leave with him. He was in the 2011 Rumble too for god knows what reason. Even more inexplicably he was allowed to stay in longer then most, lasting 9:39 before Sheamus finally eliminated him with a brogue kick as he was on the top rope.

207. Hilbilly Jim (205)
Hilbilly was in the first Rumble in 88. He eliminated Jim Neidhart and lasted just under 6 minutes before getting dumped by the One Man Gang

206. Luther Reigns (204)
Reigns was in the 05 Rumble. He was in for 7:13 and took part in the group elimination of Muhammad Hassan.

205. "The King" Harley Race (203)
Race was in the Rumble in 88. He went a little over 10 minutes before getting knocked out by Don Muraco. He then got into confrontation with his then rival "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan on his way out.

204. Neville (202)
The Man that Gravity Forgot had a decent showing in the 2016 Rumble, lasting for a little over 10 minutes before getting discuss clotheslined out by Luke Harper.

203. Adam Bomb (201)
Bomb was in the 94 and 95 Rumbles. Both weren't anything special. In 94, after drawing #30, he was eliminated by Luger. In 95 he was eliminated by future Kronik partner Crush. His total time is 10:15.

202. Rosey (200)
Rosey competed in the 03 Rumble as a member of 3 Minute Warning along with his cousin Jamal. Rosey did alright, going for 10:16 before getting backdropped out by Kane.

201. Fandango (199)
Fandango was in the 2014 and 2015 Rumbles. In 2014 he was in for 2:45 before getting embarrassingly eliminated by El Torito. In 2015 he was in for 7:36 before getting tossed by Rusev.

200. Pierroth (198)
Pierroth was one of the AAA wrestlers in 97 Rumble. He lasted 10:32 before getting eliminated by Mil Mascaras.

199. William Regal (197)
Regal has only been in three Rumbles in his long career in WWE. He never really did much in any of them. In 01 he surprisingly only lasted 2:01 before getting tossed by Test. He wouldn't be in another until 09 where he was eliminated by CM Punk in 4:32. He was then in the 2011 Rumble and it had looked like he had eliminated John Morrison. However, Morrison survived by using his awesome parkour spot. The befuddled Regal was then dumped from behind by Ted Dibiase after 4:10.

198. Dory Funk Jr. (196)
A legend in pro wrestling, Funk was in the 96 Rumble. He was eliminated in 10:53 by Savio Vega after a battle on the apron.

11 points

197. Chyna (195)
Chyna was the first woman to be in a Rumble match. She was in the 99 and 2000 Rumbles. In 99 she eliminated Mark Henry but was then clotheslined out by Austin in just 35 seconds. In 2000 she eliminated Jericho, who she was feuding with at the time over the IC title, with a suplex as she was on the apron but then was knocked off the apron and eliminated right after by Big Bossman after 37 seconds.

196. Dick Murdoch (194)
Murdock was in the 95 Rumble in a one shot deal. He did surprisingly well, as he helped Crush eliminate both the Smoking Gunns while lasting over 5 minutes.

195. Ahmed Johnson (193)
Ahmed was in the 97 and 98 Rumbles. In 97 he was still a big deal and was looked as one the companys top future stars. That year he eliminated the Fake Razor Ramon before eliminating himself after 3:02 to go after Faarooq, his rival, who he had spotted in the aisle. By 98 injuries had really put a big damper on Ahmed's career. He showed up for the 98 Rumble looking in pretty rough shape. The poor guy was in such poor shape that he had a tough time just getting into the ring. Mark Henry and D'Lo Brown dumped him out after just 3:18. This ended up being one of his final appearances for the company as he left shortly after, wrestling his last match for them at the February No Way Out of Texas PPV.

194. Tully Blanchard (192)
Blanchard was in the 89 Rumble as one Bobby Heenan's Brain Busters along with Arn Anderson. The Busters teamed up to dump Marty Jannetty but then were then both taken out by a double clothesline from Hulk Hogan.

193. Jey Uso (191)
Jey competed in the 2012 and 2014 Rumbles. His inclusion in 2012 was kind of surprising as the Usos were used pretty sparingly and were very low on the card back then. Even more surprising was the fact that he actually hung around awhile, getting tossed by Orton after 7:03, which was more then most that year. The Usos were getting pushed much more by the 2014 Rumble, as both of them were included in the match. Jey was in for 4:21 before getting double teamed by the Wyatt Family and eliminated by a big boot from Luke Harper.

192. The Warlord (190)
Warlord just flat out sucked at Royal Rumbles. There's really no generous way to put it. Despite being a big guy that was always pushed decently he almost always did poorly in the match. In 1989 he set the shortest time in the ring record that stood for 20 years, when he was clotheslined out by Hulk Hogan in 2 seconds. 1990 actually wasn't too bad as he went a decent 8:16 but 91 and 92 were crappy showings too. Despite getting excellent draws, 29 and 30 respectively, he didn't even last 2 minutes in both of them. In both he was eliminated by Hogan again, although in 92 it was in a double team effort with Sid Justice.

12 points

191. Carlos Colon (189)
Colon was in the 93 Rumble in a one shot deal. Gorilla Monsoon called him a youngster despite the fact he was well into his 40's at the time. He lasted 7:25 and eliminated Damien Damento before becoming one of Yokozuna's many victims.

190. Erick Rowan (188)
Rowan was in the 2014 and 2016 Royal Rumbles as part of the Wyatt Family. He hasn't had nearly the amount of success that his fellow Wyatt's have had in the match, although that's not really a surprise considering the fact that he's by far the least pushed member of the group. In 2014 he was in for 4:47 before getting clotheslined out by Batista. In 2015 he wasn't an official participant but attacked Curtis Axel during his entrance and ran to the ring to fight his former Wyatt Family partners, Luke Harper and Bray Wyatt. Rowan was denied entry into the match due to getting fired by Authority along with all the other memebers of John Cena's Survivor Series team, and then losing a qualifying match to Harper when he was rehired. Rowan and Harper were both dumped by Wyatt despite Rowan not officially being counted as an active member in the match which is weird, as other guys who have attacked guys to take their spot (Mabel in 99, Foley in 04 etc.) were still counted as legal participants. By the 2016 Rumble the Wyatt's had reunited while also adding a new member to their ranks in the giant Braun Strowman. Rowan assisted Harper and Strowman in dumping Mark Henry before getting clotheslined out by Brock Lesnar in 4:14.

189. Road Warrior Animal (187)
Animal made his Rumble debut in 91 as one half the legendary Legion of Doom with his partner Hawk. Animal teamed with Hawk to double clothesline the Undertaker out before getting backdropped out by Earthquake after 6:39. Animal wouldn't make another Rumble appearance until 06 where he was eliminated by RVD after 2:49.

188. Diamond Dallas Page (186)
DDP was in the 02 Rumble. At the time they were trying to push him as a face with a positive speaker gimmick after his heel run where he was feuding with Undertaker, due to the fact he was stalking Undertaker's wife, flopped. DDP eliminated Scotty 2 Hotty and lasted a little over 5 minutes before being backdropped out by Christian off camera. He was in the 2015 Rumble as a surprise and hit everyone in the ring with Diamond Cutters before the next entrant, Rusev, tossed him out after 2:28

187. Super Crazy (185)
Super Crazy was in the 06 and 07 Rumbles. In 06 he was in for 7:40. His elimination was missed completely by the camera crew. In 07 he was in for 4:32 before Rated RKO got rid of him.

186. Damien Damento (184)
Damento had a surprisingly half way decent run in the 93 Rumble, lasting 12:27.

185. Droz (183)
Droz was in the 99 Rumble, lasting a solid 12:30.

13 points

184. Terry Taylor/The Red Rooster (182)
One of the more underrated talents that's been in wrestling, Taylor just never recovered after he was given the horrible Red Rooster gimmick. As the Rooster he was in the the 89 Rumble and lasted a solid 11:17 although he spent almost all of it getting his ass kicked by everybody. The Rooster would be back for the 90 Rumble as an alternate for the "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham who left the federation. Rooster only lasted 1:58, with the majority of it spent getting beat up by Andre the Giant who easily tossed him out. After spending the next couple of years in WCW he would return to the WWF in late 92 as "Terrific" Terry Taylor. Taylor was in the 93 Rumble but only lasted 24 seconds when both him and Koko B. Ware were dumped out by Ted Dibiase as they were fighting on the ropes.

183. Trevor Murdoch (181)
Murdoch was in the 06 Rumble. He was in for a solid 13:41 before HBK eliminated him.

182. Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake (180)
The Barber lasted a solid 13:56 in his only Rumble appearance in 1989.

Thanks for the heads up. I was editing it from last my list last year where I had it as "Owens made his Rumble debut this year", and I guess I either made a typo or just had a brain fart. Regardless it's fixed now.

181. Mason Ryan (179)
Welsh Batista was in the 2011 Rumble as a member of the New Nexus. He eliminated the Great Khali and the returning Booker T before Cena lowbridged him out after 4:32.

180. Bubba Ray Dudley (178)
Bubba made his first Rumble appearance in 2015 as a surprise entrant, as he never participated in one during his entire run in the 2000's due to the Dudley Boyz always being in other matches from 2000 through 2004. Bubba eliminated both Miz and R-Truth before getting double teamed by Luke Harper and Bray Wyatt, with the latter tossing him after 4:44

179. "Ravishing" Rick Rude (177)
Rude made his only Rumble appearance in 1990. He jumped the gun of his entrance to help the Barbarian beat down Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior. While Rude and Barbarian were attempting to dump Warrior, Hogan came barging in with double clothesiline on the two which caused Warrior to fall out and get eliminated. Later on Rude clotheslined Hercules out after Herc had been knocked off balance by a Mr. Perfect dropkick. That left just Rude, Perfect, and Hogan. Rude and Perfect double teamed Hogan but it ended up backfiring as Rude accidently hit Perfect and knocked him to the apron. Then after Hogan irish whipped Rude into the ropes, Perfect pulled the rope down trying to get back into the ring which caused Rude to spill out after 6:29.

178. Road Warrior Hawk (176)
Hawk was in the 91 Rumble. He eliminated Jimmy Snuka and teamed with Animal to double clothesline the Undertaker out but then was knocked out immeadiately after by Rick Martel and Hercules after 6:37

177. "The Birdman" Koko B. Ware (175)
Koko was in the 89, 90 and 93 Rumbles. 89 and 90 sucked but 93 was decent. He was in for 8:31 and helped in the elimination of Mr. Perfect before Dibiase dumped him and Terry Taylor out as they were fighting by the ropes.

176. Paul Roma (174)
Roma was in the 91 Rumble as part of the Power and Glory tag team with Hercules. He stayed in for 14:05 before foolishly lunging at Jake "the Snake" Roberts with a high crossbody. The Snake would just casually duck and Roma went sailing over the tope rope.

175. JTG (173)
JTG was in the 09, 010, and 011 Rumbles. In 09 he got in by beating Cryme Tyme partner Shad Gaspard in a coin toss thanks to double headed coin. I don't know why they couldn't just have both of them in as Cryme Tyme was pretty over at the time but whatever. JTG would hang in longer then most would think going just shy of 12 minutes before the Undertaker tossed him. He would once again get the nod over Gaspard to represent Cryme Tyme for the 010 Rumble. He wouldn't have as much luck this time around as Punk got rid of him in just 25 seconds. In 011 he was dropkicked out by McGillicutty in under 2 minutes.

174. Jonathan Coachman (172)
Despite never being a full time wrestler, Coach was in two Royal Rumbles. In 05 he acutally managed to last 13:48 by hiding and holding onto the bottom rope for dear life, which actually isn't bad strategy. 06 wouldn't be as good as Big Show got rid of him in 30 seconds.

173. Sam Houston (171)
Another guy finishing surprisingly high on the countdown. Houston was in the 88 Rumble and went a surprising 14:39 before getting eliminated in a nasty fall off the shoulders of Ron Bass.

15 points

172. Skull/Eli Blue (170)
As Eli Blue he went for 10 minutes exactly in 95 and eliminated Sionne (The Barbarian) but ended up taking himself out in the process. He was scheduled to be in the 98 Rumble as Skull of the DOA but ended up not making it due to getting attacked backstage by Los Boriquas who mistook him for Stone Cold.

171. "Jumpin" Jim Brunzell (169)
Brunzell was in the 88 Rumble. He lasted 12:05 and helped Jake Roberts eliminate Boris Zhukov.

170. MVP (168)
MVP was in the 07, 09 and 010 Rumbles. In 07 he was one of few to survive the onslaught of the Great Khali and was among the final 5 men in the ring before Undertaker took him out after 7:31. 09 wasn't anything special as Kozlov eliminated him in 4:02. In 010 he was attacked on his way to the ring by The Miz and had to be taken to the back. He returned later on and eliminated Miz as well as himself in only 8 seconds.

169. Ezekiel Jackson (167)
Big Zeke was in the 2011 and 2012 Rumbles. In 011 he immeadiately made an impact by single handedly eliminating the Big Show. He went on to last 7:14 before getting eliminated by Kane in the finals. 012 wasn't anything special as Khali tossed him after 3:46.

168. Maven (166)
Maven was in the 02 and 03 Rumbles. In 02 he scored one of the biggest upsets in the history of the Rumble when he eliminated the Undertaker with a dropkick to the back as Taker was fighting off the already eliminated Hardy Boyz. Maven would end up paying badly for it though as Undertkaker proceeded to beat him up all over the arena and ended up leaving him unable to compete. In 03 he attempted to eliminate Undertaker again with the same dropkick from behind. This time though Taker would hang on and then chokeslam Maven before tossing him after 8:19.

167. "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters (165)
Masters made his Rumble debut in 2006. At the time he was getting a pretty big push and had formed a bit of an alliance with Carlito. Masters and Carlito teamed up to dump Viscera but then Carlito "accidentally" eliminated Masters immeadiately after. Masters would be back for the 07 Rumble but was eliminated in just 3:32 by Rob Van Dam. This would be his last Rumble for a few years as he was released later in the year. He returned in 2009 and participated in the 2010 Rumble but now as a face. He was eliminated in just 29 seconds after stupidly trying to put the masterlock on Big Show who easily tossed him out. In the 2011 Rumble he was eliminated in just under 2 minutes by CM Punk.

166. Eugene (164)
Eugene was in the 06 Rumble. He surprisingly lasted for over 16 minutes before Benoit eliminated him.

165. Headbanger Mosh (167)
Mosh was in the 98 and 2000 Rumbles. In 98 he was in for 13:09 before getting eliminated by Kurrgan. In 2000 he was eliminated by Rikishi in 3:37. He was scheduled for the 99 Rumble too but was beat up backstage by Mabel who took his spot.

17 points

164. Mil Mascaras (161)
The Mexican legend was in the 97 Rumble in a one shot deal. He eliminated Cibernetico and Pierroth before eliminating himself with a dive off the top to outside on them because he apparently didn't know the rules though after reading Mick Foley's book it was probably because he was such a ego maniac that he wouldn't let anyone throw him out.

163. Rene Dupree (160)
Dupree was in the 04 and 05 Rumbles. In 04 he eliminated Matt Hardy in a upset then did his french tickler dance and was superkicked out by Rikishi in just 33 seconds. He was in much longer for 05, lasting 11:32 before he decided to do his dance again and was tossed out by Jericho.

162. Matt Morgan (159)
Morgan wasn't in the WWE for too long but he did get a spot in the 2004 Rumble. He seemed to be pretty green at the time as he looked to be pretty lost and unsure of what to do next in his time in. Nontheless he fared pretty well, eliminating the Hurricane before straddling himself on the top rope on a missed big boot which left him easy prey for Benoit to dump out after 12:14.

161. Nikolai Volkoff (158)
Nikolai was in the first Rumble in 88. He was in for 11+ minutes and eliminated Jim Brunzell. He also was in the 92 Rumble for the vacant WWF Title as an alternate for the "injured" Marty Jannetty. Volkoff was eliminated by Repo Man in just a little over a minute.

160. "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock (157)
The World's Most Dangerous Man was in the 98 and 99 Rumbles. In 98 he had been screwed over by the Rock in the two's IC title match earlier in the night. He returned for the Rumble match and led the charge in the group elimination of Kurrgan before Rock would get the better of again by low blowing him and tossing him. In 99 he was eliminated by Stone Cold. His total time for two Rumbles is a disappointing 14:05.

159. "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman (156)
Blackman competed in the Rumble match from 98 through 01. He didn't really do much in any of them. His total time is 17:25.

158. Crash Holly (155)
Crash was in the 2000 and 2001 Rumbles. In 2000 he was surprisingly in for nearly 15 minutes before Rock DDTed him and tossed him. 2001 wasn't as good as the Brother of Destruction teamed up and cleared the ring not long after he entered.

157. "Dangerous" Danny Davis (153)
The corrupt former referee was in the 88 Rumble. He surprisingly lasted for nearly 18 minutes although Vince McMahon on commentary stated that the other guys probaly just kept him in to beat him up some more. He was eliminated by eventual winner "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan after a 3 point stance clothesline in a nice elimination.

[ThankGodForSidJustice]

156. Vladamir Kozlov-18 points (152)
The Moscow Mauler was in the 09 and 011 Rumbles. In 09 he was in the midst of his monster heel push on Smackdown where he was undefeated for almost a year. Kozlov single handedly eliminated the Great Khali before taking out MVP and Carlito as well. His dominance would be short lived though as Triple H came in next and tossed him without too much trouble after stunning him with a facebuster after 2:40. In 011 he was in a comedy face role, a big difference from his serious heel character from a couple years before. Unfortunately for Kozlov he entered with just the Nexus in the ring and was beat down and eliminated in just 40 seconds.

155. Mr. Kennedy-18 points (151)
Kennedy made his lone Rumble appearance in 2008. In the most shocking elimination of the night, he eliminated Shawn Michaels just a few seconds after Michaels had eliminated the Undertaker. Later on Kennedy would end up on the receiving end of Umaga's samoan spike. He never really recoverd from this and ended up getting eliminated by Batista after 13:32.

154. Damien Sandow-18 points (150)
Sandow was in the 2013, 2014, and 2015 Rumbles. 2013 was a solid showing, as he was in for 16:26 before getting clotheslined out by Ryback in the finals. In 2014 he was the first man eliminated after getting backdropped out by CM Punk in 2:08 In 2015 as the Miz's stunt double, Damien Mizdow, he was only in for 18 seconds before getting tossed by Rusev.

153. Arn Anderson-19 points (149)
The Enforcer was in the 89 Rumble as a member of the Brainbusters with Tully Blanchard. Arn assisted in the eliminations of Shawn Michaels, Marty Jannetty, and Tito Santana before both him Blanchard were eliminated by Hulk Hogan after Anderson had been in for 10 minutes exactly.

152. Rhyno-19 points (148)
The Man Beast was in the 2004 Rumble. He eliminated Tajiri before Benoit backdropped him out after 14 minutes even.

151. The Berzerker-19 points (147)
For a guy whose specialty was throwing people over the top rope, the Berzerker didn't really do as much in Rumbles as he should have. He was in the 92 and 93 editions. In 92 he was backdropped out by Hogan in 9 minutes exactly. In 93 he was in for 5:21 and eliminated Virgil (off camera) before Undertaker took him out.

150. Heath Slater-19 points (146)
Competed in the 2011 and 2013 Rumbles. In 011 he fell victim to the Cena/Hornwoggle partnership, getting tossed by Cena in under a minute after taking the tadpole splash. He had a surprisingly solid showing in 013 though, assisting in the group elimination of Brodus Clay and lasting for nearly 16 minutes before getting tossed by Cena again.

149. Orlando Jordan-19 points (145)
Jordan was in the 05 and 06 Rumbles. He was only in for 3:36 in 05 before Booker T eliminated him. 06 was a better showing as he was in for 16:09 before Orton backdropped him out.

148. Kurrgan-20 points (144)
Kurrgan was in the 98 and 99 Rumbles. In 98 he was getting the monster heel push. He eliminated Headbanger Mosh and Steve Blackman before Ken Shamrock entered and knocked him down with a spin kick, which was the first time that the big man had been knocked off his feet. A bunch of people then ganged up on him and dumped him after 3:38. Like Vladamir Kozlov, after his heel push failed he was turned into a comedy face. In 99 as member of the Oddities he was in for 6:54 before Kane eliminated him.

147. "The Portuguese Man O' War" Aldo Montoya-20 points (143)
Aldo was in the 95 and 96 Rumbles. He had a solid showing in the 95 Rumble lasting 13:21 and eliminating Steven Dunn. 96 wasn't nearly as good as he was eliminated by Tatanka in under 2 minutes.

146. "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner-20 points (142)
Competed in the 94 and 04 Rumbles. In 94 after drawing #1, he eliminated Samu and was in for 9 minutes even before becoming one of Diesel's victims. The Steiners left the federation a couple months later to return to WCW where Scott woiuld eventually develop his Big Poppa Pump persona. After the buyout of WCW Scott eventually returned to the WWE in late 02 and would have his infamous match with Triple H at the 2003 Royal Rumble. Steiner was in the actual Rumble match for 2004 though. Steiner really didn't too much in what ended up being his last appearance for the company. He was in for 6:49 before getting eliminated by long time nemesis Booker T.

145. Snitsky-21 points (141)
Snitsky was in the 05 and 08 Rumbles. In 05 he brutally eliminated Paul London before Batista clotheslined him out after 3:38. In 08 he was eliminated by Undertaker after 12:26.

144. Santino Marella-21 points (140)
Accomplishments: 2011 Runner-up
Santino was in the 08, 09, 011, 012, and 013 Rumbles. In 08 he entered at #3 with the Undertaker and Shawn Michaels in the ring. He was nailed by Michaels sweet chin music and then was tossed by Taker after just 25 seconds. In 09 he broke the Warlord's 20 year long record as he was eliminated by Kane in 1 second. He was scheduled for the Rumble yet again for 2010 but was pulled less then a week before due to an injury angle on the Raw before the PPV where he was roughed up by Jack Swagger, who Santino was in a mini feud with at the time due to him embarrassing Swagger by beating him in his own All American American over the top rope challenge. I really don't know what the reasoning for this was although I guess it could have been done to make room for the returning Edge. Santino would make it to the 2011 Rumble and shockingly would finish runner up. He's credited with a time of 12:54 although he spent almost all of it, with the exception of about a minute or so, knocked out outside the ring after getting hit with a Sheamus brogue kick that knocked him under the bottom rope. After Alberto Del Rio had seemingly won the match, Santino reappeared and struck Del Rio with the cobra. He took too much time celebrating though before his attempt to eliminate him, which allowed Del Rio to turn the tables on him and dump him out to win the match for real. In 2012 Santino lasted 2:31 and actually eliminated someone, as he tossed out Ricardo Rodriguez. He fell back to earth in 013 as he was eliminated first by Cody Rhodes in just 40 seconds.

143. Titus O'Neil-21 points (139)
Titus competed in 2013, 2015, and 2016 Rumbles. He was eliminated by Sheamus after 7:30 in 2013. In 2015 he was eliminated by Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose in just 4 seconds. He was supposed to actually tie Santino's record and go out in one second but botched going over the top on the initial double clothesline. 2016 was much better as he was in for 8:55 and eliminated Goldust.

142. Drew McIntyre-22 points (138)
The chosen one was in the 2010, 2011, and 2013 Rumbles. In 2010 he was one of the few non main eventers that was allowed stay a while, going 14+ minutes before getting double teamed out by D-X. 2011 wasn't anything special as Big Show dumped him out in under 5 minutes. In 2013 as a member of 3MB, he was in for 2:50 before getting dropkicked out by Jericho.

141. Mo-22 points (137)
Mo was in the 94 and 95 Rumbles. He did surprisingly well in 94, lasting for over 22 minutes. In 95 he was eliminated by King Kong Bundy in only 4 seconds.

140. Jerry Sags-22 points (136)
Sags was in the 92 and 93 Rumbles. Despite his Nasty Boy partner Brian Knobbs being in the Rumble, Sags was left out for some reason in 91. He wrestled in the dark match that year instead. In 92 it was Knobbs who was left out due to injury with Sags competing. Sags only lasted a little over a minute before Bulldog eliminated him with a dropkick as he was standing on the apron. 93 was a good showing as he lasted nearly 22 minutes before getting knocked out by a Owen Hart dropkick.

139. Dino Bravo-23 points (135)
Accomplishments: Final Four (1988)
The Canadian Strongman was in the 88, 90, and 91 Rumbles. In 88 he teamed with the One Man Gang to eliminate the Ultimate Warrior and Don Muraco and was among the final 3 before Gang accidentally eliminated him with a clothesline. In 90 he was in for a little over 6 minutes before Warrior backdropped him out. In 91 he was in for just a little over 3 minutes before getting dumped by former partner Greg Valentine.

138. Marty Jannetty-23 points (134)
Jannetty was in a handful of Rumble matches during his career. He made his Rumble debut in 89 as a member of the Rockers with Shawn Michaels. This was his best showing of his Rumble appearances as was in for 7:52 and teamed with Michaels to eliminate Ron Bass. 90 sucked as he was eliminated by Dibiase in under 2 minutes. Jannetty was scheduled for 92 Rumble for the vacant WWF Title. He ended up not making it though as a couple of weeks before the event he would have a bad falling out with Michaels who turned on him and attacked him. Jannetty suffered a numerous amount of injuries because of this attack and as a result was unable to compete. Jannetty was released shortly after due a altercation he was involved in at a nightclub but was rehired in the fall of that year. He resumed his feud with Michaels who had by that point won the IC Title. The two former partners would face each other at the 93 Rumble for the title with Michaels coming out victorious. Jannetty was part of the Rumble match for 94 and would immediately go after Michaels as soon as he hit the ring. Michaels however once again got the better of him, dumping him after 8:18. He was fired again shortly after but returned in late 95, just in time for the 96 Rumble. He went at it with Michaels again before Bulldog eliminated him in just 2:35.

137. Marc Mero-23 points (133)
Mero was in the 97 and 98 Rumbles. In 97 as the "Wildman" he was in for just 3:53 before both him and Owen Hart were dumped by Stone Cold as they were tussling in the corner. In 98 as "Marvelous" Marc he was in for nearly 20 minutes before becoming Stone Cold's first victim.

136. Chuck Palumbo-24 points (132)
Palumbo was in the 02 and 08 Rumbles. In 02 was in for over 9 minutes and teamed with Christian to eliminate Albert and the Godfather before Austin eliminated him. In 08 he was doing a biker gimmick and was feuding with Jamie Noble. He eliminated Noble but then was out manuevered and put out by CM Punk in 4 minutes.

135. David Otunga-25 points (131)
Otunga was in the Rumble from 011 through 013. In 011 he was a member of New Nexus. He was in for 11+ minutes and assisted his teamates in eliminating John Morrison and Mark Henry before Cena eliminated him along with everybody else in the group. In 2012 he only lasted a little over 3 minutes before Jericho easily tossed him out. In 013 he was brogue kicked out by Sheamus in 4:24.

134. Brian Knobbs-26 points (130)
Accomplishments: Final Four (1991)
Knobbs was in the 91 and 93 Rumbles. He was supposed to be in 92 too but missed it due to injury. In 91 he was a substitute for the Honky Tonk Man who had left the company just prior to the show. Knobbs had a good showing as he eliminated Shane Douglas and Hercules and also helpled Earthquake eliminate British Bulldog. He was among the final 3 with Quake and Hulk Hogan. Knobbs and Quake, both managed by Jimmy Hart, double teamed Hogan until Hogan Hulked Up and knocked Knobbs out of the ring with a big boot in a nicely done elimination. In 93 he was in for only a little under 3 minutes before Dibiase lowbridged him out.

133. Bo Dallas-26 points (129)
Bo was the surprise showing of the 2013 Rumble. Qualifying by winning a eight man NXT tournament the day before the PPV at the Royal Rumble fanfest, Dallas lasted for over 21 minutes and scored an upset elimination of Wade Barrett. Unfortunately for Dallas, Barrett pulled him over the top rope from the outside and then knocked him out with the bull hammer elbow. This set up a very short lived feud that was quickly dropped most likely due to the fact that Dallas was clearly not ready, as he was sent back down to NXT after not even a month on the main roster. Dallas was called back up to the roster a little over a year later using a heel motivational speaker gimmick. Unfortunately he has yet to make a Rumble appearance with this persona.

132. Gangrel-26 points (128)
Gangrel was in the 99 and 2000 Rumbles. In 99 he was eliminated by Road Dogg in just 26 seconds. In 2000 though he had one of the longer times, lasting for over 23 minutes. He also took part in the group elimination of Rikishi.

131. Shane Douglas-26 points (127)
Douglas was the surprise showing of the 91 Rumble as he lasted for an impressive 26+ minutes. It seemed like they had some plans for him as Piper and Monsoon put him over a lot on commentary but nothing really ever came of it and he was out of the company by the summer.

130. Bad News Brown-27 points (126)
A street fighter from Harlem with a loner mentality, Bad News was tailor made for the Royal Rumble. He competed in the match in 89 and 90. 89 was a good showing for him as he was in for over 16 minutes and eliminated Bushwhacker Butch. 90 wasn't as good as Piper backdropped him out after a little over 6 minutes. Bad News then pulled Piper out from the outside to eliminate him too with the two then brawling to the back. This kickstarted the two's lame feud that ended with a double countout at Wrestlemania that year.

129. Big E. Langston-27 points (154)
Big E was in the 2014, 2015, and 2017 Rumbles. 2014 was a disappointing showing. Even though he was getting a good push at the time as Intercontinental Champion, he was eliminated by Sheamus in just 2:41 after drawing #29. He had one of the longer stays in 2015, lasting for close to 15 minutes before getting kicked out by Rusev. In 2017 he was eliminated by Sheamus and Cesaro after 9:46.

128. "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes-28 points (125)
Dusty made his lone Rumble appearance in 1990. He had one of the stronger performances in that match eliminating rival Randy Savage in a mild upset, as well as Bret Hart before Earthquake eliminated him after 18+ minutes.

127. Headbanger Thrasher-28 points (124)
Thrasher was in the 98 Rumble. He was one of many lower card wrestlers (Bradshaw, 8-Ball, Phinneas Godwinn etc.) that lasted a long time for some reason that year. He was in for over 28 minutes before Austin eliminated him. He was scheduled for the 2000 Rumble but was replaced by Bob Backlund. I don't know if he was legitamately injured or if they just wanted Backlund in there instead. They did a segment on the Sunday Night Heat countdown show to write him out of the match as the Headbangers were attacked by Kaientai and the Mean Street Posse when they were drawing their numbers. Mosh ended up making the match, Thrasher wasn't as lucky.

126. Chavo Guerrero-29 points (123)
Chavo was in the 03, 06, 07, 08, and 011 Rumbles. 08 was his best showing as he went for 7:33 and eliminated rival CM Punk which was his only elimination in his 5 appearances.

125. X-Pac/1-2-3 Kid-29 points (122)
Accomplishments: Final Four (2000)
Competed in the the 96, 99 and 2000 Rumbles. He was supposed to in 94 too but missed it due to injury. In 96 as 1-2-3 Kid he was in for over 15 minutes before Shawn Michaels press slammed him out. In 99 as X-Pac he was in for 5:44 before Bossman tossed him. In 2000 he was basically given #30 on a silver platter thanks to his association with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon Helmsley who were in charge of the company at the time. X-Pac got tossed by the Rock and took a nasty bump as he did a flip over the top and landed flat on his back on the floor. Fortuanately for him though the referees were busy trying to break up the New Age Outlaws and Kane who the Outlaws had pulled under the bottom rope after they had been eliminated which allowed him to sneak back in. He managed to eliminate Kane with a spin kick then did his bronco buster on Big Show. All this did was piss Show off though, as he then proceeded to press slam X-Pac out to officially eliminate him.

124. Honky Tonk Man-29 points (121)
Honky Tonk was in the Rumble in 89 and 90 as well as 98 and 01 in surprise appearances. He was supposed to be in 91 too but left the company shortly before the event. His runs in 89 and 90 weren't anything special as he was only in for about 4 minutes in both. Oddly he had his best run in 98 when he was way past his prime. As an alternate for the injured Triple H, Honky somehow lasted for nearly 20 minutes before Vader tossed him. In 01 he entered with just Kane in the ring. Honky would then sing his theme song before Kane hit him in the head with his own guitar and tossed him in a little over a minute.

123. Curtis Axel/Michael McGillicutty-30 points (120)
Claimed by many to be the uncrowned 2015 Royal Rumble champion, the Axe Man was in the 2011, 2015, and 2016 Royal Rumbles. As New Nexus member Michael McGillicutty he had a good showing in the 2011 Rumble as he eliminated JTG and also helped his Nexus teammates eliminating Ted Dibiase, John Morrison, and Mark Henry. He was in for over 15 minutes before Cena took both him and David Otunga out with a double clothesline. He was in last years Rumble as Curtis Axel but never even made it to the ring as Erick Rowan attacked from behind during his entrance, leaving him unable to compete. This actually led to a pretty entertaining and funny gimmick for the up until that point super bland Axel, as he would claim that he was never eliminated and that he was the real winner of the Rumble. He also started using a pretty cool catchphrase in "often duplicated, never eliminated". Axel was in the Rumble again in 2016 and actually managed to actually make it to the ring. Despite having all of his Social Outcast buddies at ringside, Axel wouldn't last long. Reigns and AJ Styles fought off all of the other Social Outcasts before Styles clotheslined Axel out after only 1:15.

122. Jeff Hardy-30 points (119)
Competed in the 01, 02, 03 and 07 Rumbles. 01 was his best showing. He drew #1 that year with his brother Matt "coincidentally" drawing #3. The brothers teamed up to eliminate Bull Buchanan and Faarooq before deciding to fight each other. They then eventually eliminated each other after a fight on the top turnbuckle. Going into 02 the Hardyz were feuding with the Undertaker after Taker had attempted to end both of their careers. They "coincidentally" drew back to back numbers when Taker was standing tall as the only man in the ring. The Dead Man fought off their double team attempts and eliminated both of them, with Jeff only lasting for 1:30. By the 03 Rumble Jeff had split up with Matt and ended up fighting him for most of his time in the match. After 7:26 he decided to climb to the top rope like a moron and was promptly pushed off by RVD. This ended up being his last Rumble for a while as he was let go that spring for drug issues. He returned in late 06 and was immediately pushed as a singles star, winning the IC Title shortly after his comeback. He was in the 07 Rumble but only lasted a disappointing 3:38 before getting dumped by Edge after trying to stop Edge and Orton from eliminating his brother Matt who was then dumped out right after anyways. Despite being in the company for over two years after, this would end up being his last appearance in the match as he was tied up in title matches for 08 and 09.

121. Virgil-30 points (118)
The Wrestling Superstar was in the Rumble from 92 through 94. In 92 he was in for 7:29 before going out with Jim Duggan in a double elimination spot. In 93 he lasted 17:08 before getting eliminated off camera by the Berzerker. In 94 he was an alternate for Kamala. Entering with just Diesel in the ring, Virgil busted Diesel's lip with a stiff punch to the face, pissing him off in the process. Diesel then proceeded to give him Virgil some really stiff forearms to the face before tossing him out after just 32 seconds.

120. Demolition Ax-30 points (117)
Ax was in the 89 and 90 Rumbles. In 89 he drew #1 with his partner Smash drawing #2. The two held nothing back as the proceeded to beat the crap out of each other for two minutes before deciding to team up against Andre the Giant who came out as #3. Ax stayed in for 14+ minutes before getting backdropped out by Mr. Perfect. 90 was another solid outing as he teamed up with Smash to take Andre out to a big pop, before Earthquake lifted him out after nearly 13 minutes.

119. Genichiro Tenryu-30 points (116)
Competed in the 93 and 94 Rumbles, both one shot deals. In 93 he was eliminated by Undertaker after 13:17. In 94 he was one of Mr. Fuji's hired guns to take out Lex Luger. Tenryu was in for over 17 minutes and was in the last 5 before getting double teamed out by Luger and Bret Hart.

[ThankGodForSidJustice]

118. Sid Justice-31 points (115)
Accomplishments: Most Eliminations (1992), 1992 Runner-up
Sid made his only Rumble appearance in the 92 edition for the World Title. He really made it count though with six eliminations (two assisted). It was a comeback match for him as he had been out for a few months with a torn bicep. Coming in late at #29, Sid quickly began to dominate the competion. He eliminated Slaughter, Warlord in a double team effort with Hogan, Piper and Martel at the same time as they were fighting on the ropes, and Savage with some inadvertant help from Ric Flair. It ended coming down to Sid, Flair, and Hogan. In a shocker Sid then tossed Hogan out. Hogan, the number one babyface in the company and supposed nice guy, threw a fit about it despite being eliminated fair and square. Hogan grabbed Sid's arm and started pulling him out from the outside while Flair dumped him out from behind to win the match. Somehow Sid was turned heel out of this.

117. "The Rock" Don Muraco-31 points (114)
Accomplishments: Final Four (1988)
The original Rock, Muraco was in the first Rumble in 88. He had one of the stronger performances in the match as he eliminated Harley Race, Bret Hart, and Ron Bass while also making it to the final 4. Muraco was eliminated by One Man Gang and Dino Bravo when Bravo held him and Gang clotheslined him in what was probaly the only time I've seen that spot work.

116. Bushwhacker Butch-31 points (113)
Butch definitely had a lot more success in Rumbles then his partner Luke. He had a surprisingly good showing in the 89 Rumble as he was in for over 18 minutes and helped Tito Santana eliminate the Honky Tonk Man. In 91 he was in for 10:07 before getting tossed by the Undertaker. Bushwhackers wouldn't be in another Rumble until 95. Both had real short stays that year with Butch only lasting 19 seconds.

115. "Outlaw" Ron Bass-32 points (112)
Bass was in the 88 and 89 Rumbles. He had one of the stronger showings in 88, going for 10:14 while eliminating Sam Houson and the Junkyard Dog. He showed up for the 89 Rumble with a shaved head thanks to Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. Bass lasted for 12:36 before getting knocked out by a double dropkick from the Rockers.

114. Joey Mercury-32 points (111)
Mercury was in the 06 Rumble as a member of the MNM tag team with Johnny Nitro. He lasted an impressive 29:14 and helped Nitro eliminate Tatanka while making it to the finals. There MNM would try to double team Shawn Michaels out but it ended up backfiring as both members of the team were eliminated with Mercury getting knocked out of the ring by Nitro on accident.

113. Mike Knox-32 points (110)
"Monstrous" Mike Knox fought in the 09 Rumble. He was in the midst of his epic two month push at the time where he was feuding with Rey Mysterio due to the fact that he kept attacking Rey all the time for no reason. Knox lasted for a surprising 32:41 although he really didn't do much of note in his time in before getting dumped in a heap with Mysterio by Big Show.

112. "Texas Tornado" Kerry Von Erich-33 points (109)
Competed in the 91 and 92 Rumbles. 91 was a good showing as he was in for 24+ minutes before Undertaker backdropped him out after ducking his Tornado Punch. In 92 he was in for 9:20 before getting eliminated by Ric Flair, the same man he had defeated to win his only World Title (NWA) 8 years earlier.

111. Faarooq-34 points (108)
Accomplishments: Final Four (1998)
Faarooq was in the 97, 98, 2000, 01 and 02 Rumbles. Other then 98 all of his other runs were crap showings of about a minute or less. In 97 he eliminated Latin Lover but then Ahmed Johnson, who had eliminated himself earlier to go after Faarooq in the aisle, returned and knocked him out of the ring with a giant 2x4. 98 was his best showing by far. That year he eliminated his own Nation of Domination stabemates D'Lo Brown and Mark Henry as well as Dude Love. He was in the last 3 with Stone Cold and another stablemate of his the Rock. As Faarooq was trying to get Austin out, he was dumped from behind by Rock. In 2000 he was only in for 18 seconds as he was attacked during his entrance by the Mean Street Posse, who the APA were feuding with for reasons I don't remember or really care about, before getting dumped by Bossman. In 2001 he was double teamed out by the Hardyz in about a minute. In 2002 he was eliminated by Triple H in just 36 seconds.

110. 8-Ball/Jacob Blue-34 points (105)
Competed in the 95 and 98 Rumbles. In 95 as Jacob Blue he was eliminated in just 17 seconds by Shawn Michaels. In 98 though as DOA member 8-Ball, he lasted an impressive 30:43 and helped in the group elimination of Kurrgan.

109. Goldberg-35 points (162)
Competed in the 2004 and 2017 Rumbles. He earned the #30 spot in 2004 by winning a mini battle royal on a Raw leading up to the show. Goldberg came in like a house of fire, eliminating Charlie Haas, Billy Gunn, and Nunzio. He was then preparing to give Big Show the jackhammer before Brock Lesnar, who wasn't even in the match, ran in and gave him a F5. When Goldberg got up he was eliminated by Kurt Angle in just 2:07. This would lead to a match between Goldberg and Lesnar at WrestleMania XX. Goldberg was victorious in what would end up being his last match for over 12 years, as he retired immediately afterwards. In 2016 Goldberg would come out of retirement to face Lesnar at Survivor Series, after being prodded to by Lesnar and his manager Paul Heyman who wanted to make up for Lesnar's embarrassing loss 12 years before. In one of the biggest upsets in WWE history, the almost 50 year old Goldberg shocked the world when he not only defeated Lesnar but squashed him in just one minute and 26 seconds. Afterwards both men quickly declared entry for the Royal Rumble where Goldberg once again embarrassed his rival, as immediately after entering the ring at #28 he floored Lesnar with a spear and then easily eliminated him with a clothesline. Goldberg would then go on to also eliminate Rusev and Luke Harper but was then dumped out from behind by Undertaker after 3:21.

108. "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles-35 points (104)
The Phenomenal One made his long awaited WWE debut in last years Royal Rumble, entering the match at #3. AJ had a good showing he eliminated Curtis Axel, teamed with Roman Reigns to eliminate Tyler Breeze, and was in for close to 28 minutes before getting superkicked and tossed by Kevin Owens.

107. Charlie Haas-36 points (103)
Haas was in the Rumble from 03 through 05. In 03 as a member of Team Angle with Shelton Benjamin he was in for 17:17 and helped Benjamin in eliminating Goldust and Booker T before Brock Lesnar simutaneously tossed both of them. In 04 he was eliminated by Goldberg in 6:53. In 05 he was eliminated by Shawn Michaels in 6:20

106. Baron Corbin-37 points (NR)
The Lone Wolf was impressive in his Rumble debut this year. Shortly after entering he eliminated Braun Strowman who up until that point had seemed to be unstoppable, and then went on to stay in for nearly 33 minutes before getting tossed by the Undertaker.

105. "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka-38 points (102)
The Superfly was in the Rumble from 90 through 92. He also was in 08 as a surprise entrant. In 90 he was in for 17:03 while single handedly eliminating Akeem and taking part in the group elimination of Earthquake. In 91 he was in for 8:06 before Hawk tossed him. In 92 he was only in for a little over 2 minutes before Undertaker eliminated him. In 08 he went at it with old foe Roddy Piper before Kane eliminated both of them.

[ThankGodForSidJustice]

104. Phinneas Godwinn-39 points (101)
Phinneas was in the 97 and 98 Rumbles. In 97 he eliminated Crush but then turned around into a stunner from Stone Cold who then tossed him after 2:52. He had a long stay in 98, lasting for nearly 29 minutes before getting backdropped out by Mark Henry and nearly killing a referee on the way down. He also was involved in the group elimination of Kurrgan that year.

103. The Godfather/The Goodfather/Papa Shango/Kama Mustafa-39 points (100)
Accomplishments: Final Four (1996)
I don't think anybody has been in as many Rumbles with as many different characters as this guy. He was in his first Rumble in 93 as Papa Shango. He only lasted 28 seconds before getting dumped from behind by Flair. He had his best showing in 96 as "The Supreme Fighting Machine" Kama as he was in for nearly 16 minutes and helped Diesel eliminate Duke Drosse before getting eliminated by Diesel. He was the second to last man eliminated that year. In 98 as a member of the Nation he lasted nearly 14 minutes before Austin backdropped him out. By the 99 Rumble he was using his most popular persona the Godfather. He was eliminated by Kane in under 2 minutes. In 2000 he was only in for about a minute and a half spending almost his entire time getting beat up by Big Show who tossed him. In 2001 as Right to Censor member the Goodfather he lasted for only 14 seconds before the Rock checked him into the smackdown hotel and put him out with the spit punch. For 2002 he was back as the Godfather. He was in for around 2 minutes before missing the ho train and getting double clotheslined out by Christian and Chuck Palumbo. He was in the 2013 Rumble as a surprise entrant and almost broke the record for shortest time as he was dropkicked out by Dolph Ziggler in about 3 seconds.

102. "The All American American" Jack Swagger-39 points (99)
A Rumble main stay for most of most of the 2010's although he's was a non factor in every one he was in as he's currently tied for the record of having the most Rumble appearances without eliminating anyone, as he's been in six matches and has yet to put a single person over the top rope. He also hasn't even done well longevity wise as his longest stays in the match have only been around 12 minutes. In his first Rumble in 2010 he was eliminated by Kofi in just a little over 2 minutes. Shockingly he would win the World Title just a few months later. However, by the time of the 2011 Rumble his title push had fizzled out and he wasn't even that much higher on the card then he was the previous year. Swagger was eliminated in under 5 minutes by Mysterio after the 619 as Swagger on the apron. In 012 he lasted 7:59 before getting eliminated by Big Show and Sheamus. His elimination was pretty creative as Big Show pulled him out from the outside as he was making his entrance, as Swagger was close to being eliminated by Sheamus on the side of the ring by the entrance. Swagger would get in Big Show's face about it which would result in Show giving him the KO punch to the face. In 2014 he was in for a solid 12:07 although he didn't really do much other then getting into a confrontation with future nemesis Alexander Rusev in a foreshadowing of their feud later in the year, before getting dumped out by 55 year old Kevin Nash. 2015 was pretty similar to the year before, a solid but uneventful stay in which he lasted for close to 13 minutes. 2016 was an embarrassingly bad showing as he was F5ed and tossed by Brock Lesnar in just 15 seconds while getting literally no offense.

101. Val Venis-40 points (98)
Val was a regular in the Rumble in the attitude era. He was in the match from 99 through 02. In 99 he was in for a solid 12:41 before Triple H eliminated him. In 2000 he lasted for 11:47 and teamed with Al Snow to eliminate Edge before Kane grabbed him by the throat and threw him out. By the 2001 Rumble he had dropped his porn star gimmick and had become a member of the Right to Censor. He had another solid but unspectacular run, lasting 10:22 before Undertaker eliminated him. Like Godfather, Venis would go back to his old gimmick for the 02 Rumble. He teamed up with Test against Stone Cold but it ended up backfiring as Test accidentally hit him with a big boot leaving him easy pickings for Austin who eliminated him after just 2:58.

100. Savio Vega/Kwang the Ninja-42 points (97)
Competed in the match from 94 through 98. In 94 he made his WWF debut as Kwang, filling in for the injured Ludvig Borga. He was eliminated by Diesel. In 95 he eliminated Doink with super kick but then was eliminated by Sionne. By 96 the Kwang gimmick had been dropped and he was wrestling as a face as Savio Vega, a friend of Razor Ramon. Vega lasted 12:28 while eliminating Dory Funk. In 97 he was eliminated by Austin in under a minute. In 98 he was eliminated by Austin again in 9:29. His total time is 32:24 with two eliminations.

99. Al Snow-43 points (96)
Another regular from the attitude era. Snow was in the match from 99 through 02. 99 sucked as he was eliminated by Road Dogg in just 47 seconds. 2000 was a good showing though as he was in for 17:17 and eliminated former J.O.B. Squad teammate Hardcore Holly and teamed with Val Venis to eliminate Edge. In 2001 he jumped the gun of his entrance to get at Raven who he was feuding with at the time. He also started the hardcore portion of the match when he started bringing weapons into the ring. Kane ended up eliminating him along with everyone else in the ring after a little over 7 minutes. In 02 he eliminated Lance Storm before Undertaker tossed him after a little over 5 minutes.

98. Irwin R. Schyster-43 points (95)
I.R.S. was in the 92 and 93 Rumbles. He didn't eliminate anyone in either but he did manage to rack up the minutes. In 92 he was in for an impressive 27:01 before Piper pulled him out by the tie from the apron in a cool spot. In 93 he was in for 16 minutes exactly before missing a flying clothesline on Earthquake and going out.

97. The Ultimate Warrior-44 points (94)
Accomplishments: Most Eliminations (1990)
Warrior was in the 88 and 90 Rumbles. In 88 he was still pretty new and was yet to get his mega push that he would start to get later in the year. He was eliminated in just 3:51 by One Man Gang and Dino Bravo. By the 90 Rumble Warrior was a huge star whose popularity rivaled even Hulk Hogan. Warrior eliminated Dino Bravo, Ted Dibiase, Shawn Michaels, and Rick Martel. He also teamed with Martel to eliminate Jim Neidhart and Tito Santana which was kind of odd. Eventually it would just be Warrior and Hogan in the ring in a never before seen matchup and a prelude to their great Wrestlemania VI title for title match. Needless to say the crowd was pretty pshyched for this. The two ended up knocking each other down with clotheslines. The Barbarian and Rick Rude would then enter and go after both Hogan and the Warrior. As Rude and Barbarian were trying to put Warrior out, Hogan rushed in with a double clothesline which ended up putting Warrior out in the process after 14:29.

96. Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart-44 points (93)
The Anvil was in the 88, 90 and 91 Rumbles. 88 was a good showing as he went for over 19 minutes and teamed with Hart Foundation partner Bret Hart to eliminate Tito Santana. In 90 he was in for 8:42 and helped in the group elimination of Earthquake. In 91 he was in for 11:11 and was in the finals before Martel dumped him out.

95. R-Truth/K-Kwik-44 points (92)
Made his Rumble debut as K-Kwik in 2001. He was in for a decent 7:53 even though he spent almost all of it getting beat up. He was eliminated by Big Show with a press slam out of the ring. He was released later in the year and would end up spending a lot of time in TNA. He returned to WWE in late 2008 as R-Truth and participated in the 09 Rumble. He lasted over 12 minutes before getting press slammed out again by Big Show in duplicate of his elimination from 8 years earlier. Truth would be back for the 010 Rumble. That year he shocked everybody when he eliminated Mark Henry and Big Show simutaneously when they were fighting on the ropes. Truth went on to last 4:10 before getting head scissored out by Kofi Kingston. 2011 was a wash as he came in with just the Nexus. Despite what had happened to the last couple of guys who entered the ring against Nexus, Truth would sprint to the ring like a idiot. He was beat down and eliminated in about a minute. Truth's career was rejuvinated a few months later when he turned heel and became a crazy character who talked to himself while referring to the fans as little Jimmy's. Truth also formed an alliance with the Miz. Unfortunately Truth's heel run was short lived as he was turned face again towards the end of the year after Miz turned on him. Why they would turn him back so quickly after his heel stint had been so successful is beyond me. Anyways, in the 2012 Rumble Truth lasted just a little under 5 minutes before Miz tossed him out. Truth ended up getting the last laugh though as he pulled Miz under the bottom rope and gave him his finishing move on the floor. 2014 was a short stay as the Shield got the jump on him and eliminated him in just 28 seconds after a Dean Ambrose dropkick. In 2015 he drew #2 and teamed with Bubba Ray Duldey to hit several of the Dudley Boyz double team moves on Miz, before Bubba tossed both of them out. Over the course of 2015 Truth started a gimmick where he would interrupt in ring talking segments with other superstars and act confused what kind of match they were talking and also if he himself was even in the match. This led to a funny bit in the 2016 Rumble where he pulled a ladder from under the ring and set it up in the ring after he entered. Truth climbed the ladder and reached for a briefcase/belt that wasn't there before Kane tipped the ladder over and tossed him out in just 37 seconds.

94. A-Train/Prince Albert/Tensai-46 points (91)
Rumble regular in the first half of the 2000's, competing in the match from 2000 through 2004. He was also in the 2013 Rumble during his second run as Tensai. He really didn't do much in any of them, not recording a single elimination in his six appearances which is tied for the record for most appearances without an elimination. 01 and 03 were his best showings. In 01 he lasted 15:53 which was one the higher times that year. In 03 as A-Train he went for over 11 minutes and was in the last 6.

[ThankGodForSidJustice]

93. Christian-47 points (90)
Captain Charisma was in the Rumble in 2000, 02, 03, 04, and 05. 2000 sucked as he was eliminated by Rikishi in under 2 minutes. 02 was probably his best outing. He was in for 12:14 and eliminated Diamond Dallas Page. He also teamed with Chuck Palumbo to eliminate Albert and the Godfather. 03 was another decent showing as he went for 9:03 and teamed with his partner at the time Chris Jericho to eliminate Tommy Dreamer before Jericho eliminated both him and Edge when they were fighting on the ropes. Going into 04 there was a little bit of tension between Christian and Jericho due a love triangle storyline with Trish Stratus. The two would work together at first but eventually ended up fighting each other with Jericho getting the better of Christian as he eliminated him with a backdrop after 7:39. 05 sucked pretty bad as he was in for just a little over 2 minutes, most of which was spent getting his ass handed to him by Batista who then press slammed him out of the ring onto his problem solver Tyson Tomko who was at ringside. Unfortunatley this ended up being his last Rumble match as he left the company later in the year and despite coming back in 09 he never never made it back to the match during his second run as he was either involved in another match (010) or was out with injury (011 through 014).

92. Umaga/Jamal-47 points (89)
The Samoan Bulldozer was in the 03 and 08 Rumbles. In 03 he was Jamal of the 3 Minute Warning tag team. Jamal didn't do too much but he did last a good 16:07 and was among the finalists before getting eliminated by Undertaker. He would get released later in the year but returned in 2006 and received a big push as the samoan savage Umaga. Umaga was involved in the WWE Title match in 07 but would participate in the Rumble match for 08. He eliminated Hardcore Holly with his samoan spike and was among the last 5 before Batista eliminated him after 26:07.

91. Big John Studd-47 points (88)
Accomplishments: 1989 Royal Rumble Winner
Our first winner on the countdown. After a two year hiatus from the WWF Studd would come back with a bang in 1989 by winning the first 30 man Royal Rumble. Coming in at #27 it took him 12:21 to win it, putting out Akeem and Ted Dibiase in succession for the victory. There definitely were big plans for Studd but unforunately his body began to break down not long after and he would leave the company by the summer.

90. Haku-48 points (87)
Haku was in the 90, 91 and 92 Rumbles. He also made a surprise apperance in the 01 Rumble. In 90 he was one half of the tag champions the Colossal Connection with Andre the Giant. Haku had a good showing going for 22:31 and eliminating Demolition Smash. He also helped in the group elimintion of Earthquake. In 91 he was in for 13:12 and was in the finals before Bulldog backdropped him out. In 92 he was a substitute for the injured Brian Knobbs. He was eliminated by Bulldog again in under two minutes. In 01 he was a surprise entrant as he had been wrestling for WCW as their Hardcore Champion. Haku was only in for 2:51 before Austin knocked him over the top rope and out.

89. Terry Funk/Chainsaw Charlie-48 points (86)
The man from the double cross ranch was in the 97 and 98 Rumbles. In 97 he was in for 15 minutes and was among the finalists before getting suplexed out from the apron by Mankind. He had a good showing in 98 as Chainsaw Charlie. Funk, who was well into his 50's at the time, lasted an impressive 25:19 while actually doing a bunch of near elimination spots. He teamed with sometime partner sometime enemy Cactus Jack to eliminate Tom Brandi before eliminating Jack later. However another Mick Foley alter ego Mankind would enter and eliminate Funk.

88. Bam Bam Bigelow-49 points (85)
Accomplishments: 1994 Ironman
The Beast from the East was quite impressive in his only Rumble appearance in 1994. After wrestling a 10 minute match in a loss to Tatanka earlier in the night, Bigelow would return for the Rumble match and ended up having the longest time that year with 30:12. Bigelow eliminated rival Doink and then got some payback for his loss earlier by eliminating Tatanka. He also took part in the group eliminations of Diesel, Mabel, and Crush.

87. Andre the Giant-50 points (84)
Andre was in the 89 and 90 Rumbles. In 89 he eliminated Smash, Ronnie Garvin and Jake "The Snake" Roberts who Andre was feuding with at the time due to his fear of snakes. Andre looked to be the man to beat but then Jake returned with his snake Damien who he threw into the ring, scaring the Giant who stepped over the top rope and eliminated himself in fear. In 90 he eliminated the Warlord and the Red Rooster before getting double teamed out by Demolition. His stats for two Rumbles are 25:11 in time with 5 eliminations.

86. D'Lo Brown-50 points (83)
Accomplishments: Final Four (1999)
D'Lo was in the Rumble from 98 through 2000. In 98 as a member of the Nation of Domination he lasted an impressive 32:21 while helping Mark Henry eliminate Ahmed Johnson. In 99 he was in the final 4 before getting tossed by Big Bossman after 9:11 as he was trash talking Stone Cold after giving him the Lo-Down. In 2000 he was eliminated by Rikish in 6:08. In 2001 him and his tag partner Chaz, better known as Headbanger Mosh, won a qualifying match on the Heat before the show over Kaientai in which the winning team would get to have one member of the team in the match. However neither one of them would get in as Mr. McMahon gave their spot to Drew Carey. Ouch.

85. Antonio Cesaro-51 points (106)
The Swiss Superman was in the 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2017 Rumbles. In 2013 he eliminated Daniel Bryan, but kind of had a disappointing showing overall as he was backdropped out by Cena after a modest 7:50. 2014 was a good showing as he was in for close to 17 minutes and made the finals while getting to do the Cesaro Swing a few times. 2015 wasn't anything special as he entered late and was superkicked out by Dolph Ziggler in just 4:55. This year he teamed with dysfunctional partner Sheamus to eliminate the entire New Day, before both were eliminated by Chris Jericho as they were tussling on the ropes.

84. The Barbarian/Headshrinker Sionne-52 points (82)
Barbarian was in the 89, 90, 92 and 95 Rumbles. In 89 he helped the Million Dollar Man dump Brutus Beefacke and Hercules as Beefcake had the sleeper on Hercurles. He was eliminated not long after by Rick Martel after a dropkick after 11:15. In 90 he helped in the elimination of the Ultimate Warrior before getting backdropped out by Hercules in 5:47. In 92 he was eliminated again by Hercules in 12:55. He left the company not long after his 92 appearance but returned in late 94 to replace Samu as Fatu's new partner in the Headshrinkers. Going by the name Sionne, he was in the 95 Rumble. He eliminated Kwang and Rick Martel before going out with Eli Blue in a double elimination spot after 6:50

83. Vader-53 points (81)
IT's VADER TIME! Vader made his WWF debut at the 96 Rumble. He was quite impressive, eliminating Jake Roberts, Doug Gilbert, one of the Swat Team, and Savio Vega. He would get eliminated along with Yokozuna by Shawn Michaels as they were fighting on the ropes. Vader was in for 11:04. In 97 he eliminated Flash Funk in nasty fashion and was in the last 5 before Stone Cold, who had unbeknownst to the referees been tossed by Bret Hart, snuck back in the ring and eliminated both him and Undertaker as they were fighting on the ropes. Vader was in for 10:06. In 98 he drew #30 and eliminated the Honky Tonk Man before getting eliminated by Goldust, who Vader had defeated in the opener that night, in a letdown after just 2:15.

82. "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn-53 points (80)
Accomplishments: Final Four (2001)
Gunn had a long career in the WWF so it's not surprising that he was in a quite a few Rumbles. He was in the match in 94, 95, 99, 2000, 01, 02, and 04. In 94 he was big booted and eliminated by Diesel in just 12 seconds. In 95 he fought with his kayfabe brother Bart before both were eliminated by Crush and Dick Murdock. Gunn wouldn't be in another Rumble until 99 as he was either injured or in another match from 96-98. By this point Gunn was part of the popular New Age Outlaw tag team. Earlier in the night his ankle was injured in a loss to Ken Shamrock. Gunn returned for the Rumble match later in the night and lasted 7:05 before Austin kicked him in his bad ankle and tossed him. In 2000 he teamed with partner Road Dogg to dump Bradshaw but then turned on Dogg and dumped him out too as he was taunting the eliminated Al Snow. Gunn was then knocked out right after by Kane after 9:38. In 01 he was "The One" Billy Gunn. After getting a late draw with 28, he made it to the final four before Austin eliminated him again after 7:22. In 02 he eliminated Bradshaw before getting eliminated by Undertaker after 3:37. His last Rumble was 04. It was a comeback match for him as he got injured for the 18th millionth time in mid 03 after he had just come back a couple months before from another injury. Gunn lasted 5:37 before getting clotheslined out by Goldberg.

81. Henry Godwinn-53 points (79)
Participated in the match from 95 through 98. All were solid performances. His longest time is 16:24 in 96 but his best all around performance was in 95. That year he had one of the longest times with 14:40, eliminated Dick Murdock, and was in the last 5.

80. Alberto Del Rio-54 points (78)
Accomplishments: 2011 Royal Rumble Winner
The second Rumble winner on the countdown, Del Rio won the first and only 40 man Rumble in 2011. After getting an excellent draw with #38, Del Rio spent his whole interval on the outside taunting the guys in the ring before Randy Orton showed up as the next entrant and beat the crap out of him before giving him his RKO. Despite this rocky start Del Rio would manage to hang in there and eventually eliminate Orton who had just finished dumping Wade Barrett to seemingly win the match. However Santino, who had been knocked out outside the ring for several minutes while not being eliminated, would resurface and drop Del Rio with his cobra. Fortunately for Del Rio, Santino took too much time celebrating which allowed him to get his bearings. When Santino attempted to eliminate him, Del Rio reversed it and put Santino out to officially win the match after 9:33 in the ring. Del Rio failed to win the World Title at Wrestlemania, but would win the WWE Title twice later in the year. Del Rio was also in the 2014 and 2016 Rumbles although he was a non factor in both. He had a surprisingly short run in 2014 as he made the mistake of calling out and picking a fight with the returning Batista, who dumped him in under three minutes. In 2016 he was in for 6:46 before getting tossed by Roman Reigns.

79. Eddie Guerrero-55 points (77)
Latino Heat competed in the 03 and 05 Rumbles. In 03 he was in for 16:29 before getting eliminated by Booker T. In 05 he drew #1 and lasted 28:11. He eliminated the Hurricane, Hardcore Holly with help from Benoit, and Booker T with help from Mysterio.

78. Jerry "The King" Lawler-56 points (76)
Although he has spent most Royal Rumbles doing commentary, Lawler partcipated in the match in 93, 96, 97, and 012. In 93 he was in for 14:35 and eliminated Max Moon before getting backdropped out by Mr. Perfect. Lawler however then helped eliminate Perfect from the outside. It looked like this would be the start of a feud but nothing ever came of it. In 96 he had a rough going. Henry Godwinn threw pig slop on him and later Jake the Snake threw his snake on him. The scared Lawler hid under the ring and stayed there for a long time. Eventually Shawn Michaels pulled him out and threw him back in the ring before punching him out after 36:02. He had a funny run in 97. He was doing commentary for the show before entering the match at #22. He then got punched out by Bret Hart after just 4 seconds. He then returned to the commentary table and just continued talking about what he was talking about before he left as if nothing happened. In 2012 he left his commentary positon again to participate in the Rumble. The King only lasted 43 seconds before getting dumped by Cody Rhodes.

77. Sami Zayn-56 points (214)
Zayn made his main roster debut in last years Rumble. He quickly made an impact by eliminating arch nemesis Kevin Owens but unfortunately would get eliminated himself not much later as Braun Stroman tossed him after 4:33. This year was a real long run for him as he was in for around 47 minutes, although he didn't eliminate anyone in his entire time in.

76. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper-57 points (75)
Hot Rod was in the 90, 92, and 08 Rumbles. In 90 he was in for 12:20 and eliminated Bad News Brown. Unfortunately for him though, Bad News then pulled him out from the outside with the two then brawling to the back. 92 was a good showing. After winning the IC Title from the Mountie earlier in the night, Piper lasted for 34:06 in the Rumble. He eliminated I.R.S. before going out in a heap with Rick Martel thanks to Sid Justice. He was a surprise entrant in the 08 Rumble. He fought with former rival Jimmy Snuka before Kane eliminated both of them.

75. "Road Dogg" Jesse James-58 points (74)
Road Dogg was in the 97, 99, 2000, and 2012 Rumbles. In 97 as the Real Double J, he was eliminated by Austin in just 29 seconds. 99 was a good showing as Road Dogg. He eliminated Edge, Gangrel, and Al Snow before Kane eliminated him after 10:41. In 2000 he lasted for 19:02 although he spent almost all of it clinging onto the bottom rope to avoid getting eliminated. He eliminated British Bulldog and teamed with New Age Outlaw partner Billy Gunn to eliminate Bradshaw before getting dumped from behind by Gunn. Road Dogg entered the 2012 Rumble as a surprise entrant. He lasted just a little under 5 minutes before getting eliminated by Wade Barrett.

74. Seth Rollins-59 points (73)
The architect of the Shield had a strong showing in his lone Rumble appearance in 2014 as he lasted 48:31 from the #2 position. He also assisted in the eliminations of Rusev and Great Khali, and eliminated the much fresher #30 entrant, Rey Mysterio, by himself. Surprisingly Rollins has yet to participate in another Rumble as he was in the title match in 2015, injured in 2016, and then pulled from this years for some reason after they did an angle on the Raw before where he lost his spot after losing a match to Sami Zayn when Triple H distracted him.

73. Kurt Angle-60 points (72)
Accomplishments: 2002 Runner-up, Final Four (2004)
Angle was in the 02, 04, and 05 Rumbles. In 02 he was in for 16:09 and eliminated Kane and Steve Austin before getting clotheslined out by Triple H in the final elimination of the match. In 04 he was in for 29:04 and eliminated Goldberg after Goldberg was reeling from the F5 of the interfering Brock Lesnar. Angle ended up being in the last 3 with Big Show and Chris Benoit. Angle got his ankle lock on Big Show however Show would grab the top rope and lunge over the rope to the apron with the momentum taking Angle over and out. Angle wasn't supposed to be in the 05 match as he had lost a triple threat match for the WWE Title earlier in the night. He ended up getting in by taking Nunzio's number in a backstage segment. Angle entered like a house of fire, giving olymic slams and suplexes to everybody until Shawn Michaels nailed him with a superkick which eliminated him after just 37 seconds. Angle didn't take this too well as he returned later and tossed Michaels out before assulting him with the ring steps and putting him in ankle lock.

72. Hercules-60 points (71)
Herc was in the Rumble from 89 through 92. In 89 he was in for 6:11 before both him and Brutus Beefcake were dumped by Ted Dibiase and the Barbarian as Beefcake had him in the sleeper. In 90 he eliminated Barbarian and was in the final 4 before getting clotheslined out by Rick Rude. 91 was a real good showing as he lasted for 37:36 and helped Rick Martel eliminate Hawk. Not much was made of his long run though as he was kind of overshadowed by Martel and Greg Valentine who were both in even longer that year. 92 was quite the drop off from the previous year as he was only in for less then a minute, although he did eliminate Barbarian again.

71. The One Man Gang/Akeem "The African Dream"-61 points (70)
Accomplishments: Most Eliminations (1988), 1988 Runner-up, Final Four (1989)
The big 747 was the first dominant big man in Royal Rumbles. In the first Rumble in 1988, the Gang eliminated over 1/4 of the participants. He eliminated Jake Roberts, B. Brian Blair, Hilbilly Jim and Dino Bravo (on accident) as well as Ultimate Warrior and Don Muraco with help from Bravo. He ended up finishing runner up though as Jim Duggan eliminated him to win it by pulling the top rope down as Gang charged at him causing Gang to spill out. By the 89 Rumble, the Gang had gone though a transformation at the insistance of his manager "The Doctor of Style" Slick. After discovering his "roots" he became "The African Dream" Akeem. He also started teaming with another one of Slick's charges and another big man in the Big Bossman. Akeem and Bossman, collectively known as the Twin Towers, scored the most shocking elimination of the night when they eliminated Hulk Hogan. Hogan, always the sore loser, then pulled Bossman out from the outside to eliminate him. Akeem stuck around for 18:36 and also eliminated Rick Martel while making it to the last 3 with Million Dollar Man and Big John Studd. Akeem and Dibiase teamed up on Studd but it ended up backfiring as Akeem would accidentally squash Dibiase in the corner. When Akeem went to check on Dibiase, Studd nailed him from behind and eliminated him. In 1990 he was eliminated by Jimmy Snuka in just 2:31 which was a bit of a shock due to how well he did in the previous years.

70. Ryback-61 points (69)
Accomplishments: Most Eliminations (2013), 2013 Runner-up
Da Big Guy was in the Rumble from 2013 through 2016. In 2013 he was in the midst of his monster face push. After drawing #30 he eliminated Damien Sandow, Sin Cara, Miz, Orton, and Sheamus. Despite his dominant showing, Ryback would end up finishing runner up to John Cena. Ryback's next three performances were nowhere near as good as he eliminated nobody in all three, which is surprising as you would think a powerhouse like him would continue to rack up the eliminations. By the 2014 Rumble he had turned heel and fallen down the card quite bit. He was eliminated in just 3:49 by Batista. In 2015 he was back to being a face and getting pushed again although nowhere near on the level he was in 2013. He had a disappointing showing as even though he lasted a decent 11 minutes exactly, he didn't eliminate anyone and was wasted at the expense of the incredibly dull duo of Big Show and Kane, like pretty much every other over babyface in the match. 2016 was a similar showing as he was in for over 12 minutes before getting put out by Big Show again after scoring no eliminations for the third straight year.

69. Danial Bryan-61 points (68)
Bryan was in the 2011, 2013, and 2015 Rumbles. In 2011 and had a good showing for himself, going 20+ minutes from the #2 position while eliminating Justin Gabriel and Zack Ryder. In 2013 he teamed with partner Kane to eliminate Great Khali, but then turned on Kane and dumped him out too. Bryan was then dumped out by Cesaro, but caught by Kane before he hit the floor. Bryan tried to convince Kane to put him back in the ring but Kane instead just dropped him on the floor to eliminate him. 2015 was disappointing. Despite the fact that he was the most over guy in the match, had just returned after being out for eight months with a neck injury, and was one of the few guys in the match with a realistic chance to win, he was eliminated in about 10 minutes in ho hum fashion by Bray Wyatt about half way through the match. After his elimination the crowd completely lost interest in the match and booed eventual winner Roman Reigns, despite the fact that the company is trying to push him as their next big babyface. Despite his disappointing showing, he did manage to eliminate Tyson Kidd in what was the only highlight in his time in.

68. Finlay-62 points (67)
Finlay was in the 07, 08, and 09 Rumbles. In 08 he was disqualified for jumping the gun of his entrance and using his shilleglah on Mark Henry and Big Daddy V when they went after Hornswoggle. He had long times in 07 and 09 although he didn't score any eliminations in either. He was in for 32:32 in 07 and 29:57 in 09.

67. Demolition Smash/Repo Man-64 points (66)
Was in the match from 89 through 93. In 89 he drew #2 and duked it out with partner Ax who drew #1. They would stop fighting though to go after #3 entrant Andre the Giant. Andre eventually eliminated Smash after 4:55. In 90 he was in for over 15 minutes and helped Ax eliminate Andre. He also was inlvolved in the group elimination of Earthquake. In 91 he was in for over 18 minutes before Hogan big booted him and tossed him. By the 92 Rumble he had been repackaged as the Repo Man. Repo eliminated Nikolai Volkoff and Greg Valentine before getting tossed by Bossman after 6:23. In 93 he was tossed by Savage in 3:33.

66. Bradshaw-65 points (65)
Was in the match in 98, 2000, 01, 02 and 04. 98 was his best showing as he was in for an impressive 35+ minutes and helped in the group elimination of Kurrgan. In 2000 he was eliminated by the New Age Outlaws in just 25 seconds after getting distracted by the Mean Street Posse. 01 was a solid showing as he was in for 17:40, which was one the higher times that year. In 02 he was dumped by Billy Gunn in 7:17. 04 was a short run. He came in and started giving everybody clothselines from hell before Benoit countered it and eliminated him in just 38 seconds. Bradshaw was repackaged shortly afterwards as main event heel, John Bradshaw Layfield. He unfortunately never appeared in a Rumble match with this character when he was an active wrestler as he was involved in another match or was in a commentator capacity from 05 through 09. In 2014 though he would be in the Rumble as JBL after leaving the commentators table. He then made the mistake of turning his back to give his jacket to Michael Cole, leading to him getting dumped by Roman Reigns in 24 seconds.

65. Tatanka-68 points (63)
Tatanka was in the 93, 94, 96 and 06 Rumbles. In 93 he was in for 17+ minutes before Yokozuna threw him out. In 94 he was in for over 20 minutes and eliminated former nemesis Rick Martel before getting eliminated by Bam Bam Bigelow who he had defeated in the first match of the night. In 96 he eliminated Aldo Montoya before getting tossed by Diesel in just 4:09. Tatanka pretty much disappeared from the wrestling scene for several years before making a surprise appearance in the 06 Rumble. He lasted for over 14 minutes before getting eliminated by MNM. Tatanka ended up getting signed on full time shortly after and would wrestle on the active roster for about a year.

64. "Bad News" Wade Barrett-69 points (62)
Accomplishments: Final Four (2011)
Barrett was in the Rumble in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2015. 011 was a real good showing as he eliminated Rey Mysterio and the returning Diesel while making it to the final 4 where he was eliminated by Orton after 22:23. 012 was a big disappointment. Going into the Rumble match that year Barrett was getting a pretty good push and was in a heated rivalry with Orton, so you would think he would've got a strong showing. Nope. Barrett eliminated Road Dogg, but then was RKOed and tossed by Orton after just 3:55. He bounced back with a solid showing in 2013, going for over 17 minutes and eliminating Mysterio again before getting dumped out by rookie Bo Dallas in a surprise elimination. Barrett ended up getting the last laugh though as he pulled Dallas out from the outside and then knocked him out with his bull hammer elbow. In 2015 he didn't do much as Bad News Barrett, although that can be said for pretty much everyone in that Rumble. He was in for 5:49 before Dolph Ziggler ducked the bull hammer and backdropped him out.

63. The Great Khali-70 points (61)
Accomplishments: Most Eliminations (2007)
Khali competed in 8 straight Rumbles from 07 to 014. He scored the majority of his points in his Rumble debut in 07. That year he eliminated seven men (Benoit, Holly, Punk, Chavo, Miz, Carlito, RVD) before Undertaker entered at #30 and eliminated him. Khali would never come close to matching this effort again. In his next 4 Rumbles he failed to last over 2 minutes while scoring no eliminations in three of them. He was eliminated by Undertaker again in 08, Kozlov in 09, and Beth Phoenix in 010 after Phoenix kissed the Puhnjabi Playboy and eased him over the top from the apron. In 011 he entered with just the Nexus in the ring and was the first guy to give them trouble. He beat down every one of them and eliminated Husky Harris. Unfortunately another Nexus member, Mason Ryan, entered next and eliminated Khali. 012 was a solid outing for Khali, and easily his best since 07. He eliminated his "brother in law" Jinder Mahal and Ezekiel Jackson before Cody Rhodes and Dolph Ziggler dumped both him and Booker T as they were fighting on the ropes. Khali lasted a surprising 7:29, which was by far his longest time in all his Rumble appearances. In 013 he didn't do much, getting dumped by Kane and Daniel Bryan in under 3 minutes. 014 was his worst showing as he was superman punched by Roman Reigns and dumped by all the members of the Shield in just 21 seconds.

62. "The Gold Standard" Shelton Benjamin-72 points (59)
Benjamin competed in 8 consecutive Royal Rumbles from 2003 to 2010. With the exception of a couple he usually underachived in most of them. In 03 he was in for 10:55 and teamed with Team Angle partner Charlie Haas to eliminate Goldust and Booker T before both were tossed by Brock Lesnar. 04 sucked pretty bad as Orton dumped him in just 37 seconds. Benjamin was getting the biggest push of his career going into the 05 Rumble as he was the IC champion and had even scored a couple of victories over Triple H. Benjamin took part in the group elimination of Muhammad Hassan before Edge eliminated him after 14:35, which while not bad by any means was kind of disappointing considering the push he was getting and the momentum he had at the time. In 06 he was in for 6:51 before Shawn Michaels superkicked him while he was on the apron and knocked him about halfway up the aisle. 07 was his best year as he lasted 22:22 and helped in the group elimination of Viscra before Michaels eliminated him again. In 08 he came in like a house of fire but Michaels quickly put out the flames with a superkick to eliminate him AGAIN after just 18 seconds. 09 was yet another disappointment. Going into the match he was the US Champ and was getting pushed as a heel as the Gold Standard. Benjamin was eliminated by Undertaker in just 4:17, in a year where almost everybody and their mother was doing at least 12 minutes. In his last Rumble in 2010 he actually got a lot of offense on both Michaels and Cena before Cena countered his pay dirt finish by catching him and putting him out after just 48 seconds.

61. Test-74 points (57)
Accomplishments: 2000 Ironman
Test was in the Rumble from 99 through 03. In 99 as a member of the Corporation he was in for 12:48 before Austin eliminated him. In 2000 he had the longest time, going 26:17 while taking part in the group elimination of Rikishi before Big Show eliminated him. In 01 he eliminated William Regal before Show eliminated him again after just a little over 2 minutes. 02 sucked as Austin eliminated him in under 2 minutes. 03 was a good showing as he was in for 18:45 and eliminated iron man Chris Jericho after Jericho had been distracted by an interfering HBK who he had screwed over at the beginning match. This was supposed to lead to a big face push for Test but he ended up pissing off management and it was dropped. He was supposed to be in the 04 Rumble but was taken out backstage by Mick Foley, who took his spot in the match.

60. Carlito-75 points (56)
Carlito was in the Rumble match from 06 through 010. 06 was his best showing as he was in for 38:21 and helped Chris Masters eliminate Viscera before double crossing Masters and eliminating him too. Carlito was in last 5 that year where he was eliminated by the returning Rob Van Dam who Carlito had put of action for several months. By 07 he was turned face. He only lasted for 3:19 before trying to springboard into the ring and getting chopped in the head by Khali and eliminated. He was back to being a heel for 08 and had a solid showing, going for 15+ minutes before Cena eliminated him. In 09 he was back to being a face and was Tag Team Champions with his brother Primo who was excluded from the match for some reason. Carlito was in for 6:10 before Kozlov spinebustered him and eliminated him. In 010 he was back as a heel again. Couldn't they just make up their mind? In a year where almost everybody in the match was made to look like total jobbers, Carlito who had been off TV for a while and was about to get released in a couple months was actually booked fairly strong giving everybody in the ring backstabbers. He would eventually get eliminated by Shawn Michaels after 4:34, which while not impressive was still more then most what got that year.

59. Earthquake/Golga-76 points (55)
Accomplishments: 1991 Runner-up
Quake was in the 90, 91, 93 and 99 Rumbles. In 90 he eliminated Dusty Rhodes and Ax before everybody in the ring, besides his friend Dino Bravo, all ganged up on him and eliminated him after 2:31. Going into the 91 Rumble Quake was in the midst of the biggest push of his career as he was feuding with Hulk Hogan after putting the Hulkster out of action for a few months. He lasted 24:42, which is pretty impressive especially when you consider his size, while eliminating Animal, Tito Santana, and Bushwhacker Luke. He also teamed with Brian Knobbs to eliminate the British Bulldog. Eventually it ended up ooming down to just him and Hogan. Quake gave Hogan his butt splash finisher, but Hogan Hulked Up and bodyslammed him before eliminating him. In 93 he eliminated I.R.S. and his own partner Typhoon before having a big man showdown with Yokozuna. Yoko ended up getting the better of the exchange as he eliminated Quake with a belly to belly suplex after 11 minutes even. In 99 he appeared as the masked Golga, a member of the Oddities. He was eliminated by Austin in just 15 seconds.

58. Ted Dibiase Jr.-78 points (54)
Accomplishments: Final Four (2009)
Competed in the Rumble from 2009 through 2011. He most likely was going to be in 2012 too, but suffered a injury shortly before the show and ended up not making it. He fared well in the three he was in. In his debut in 09 he lasted an impressive 45:10 and was in the final 4 before getting tossed by Triple H. He also teamed with his Legacy partners to eliminate Kane that year. In 010 he was in for 11:38 which may not seem that impressive but actually is pretty good when you consider most guys only got 4 minutes at the most that year. His time was the 5th best that year. Even in 2011 in the midst of a losing streak angle he did decent, going for over 12 minutes and eliminating William Regal.

57. Mark Henry-80 points (60)
Henry has competed in a good share of Royal Rumbles over the course of his twenty year WWE career. He really hasn't had too much success in them despite the bs claims we always get from the announcers about "how he's such a threat to win it" and "how is anybody going to get him over the rope". Henry has always had lower ring times for the most part which isn't surprising but what is surprising is his lack of eliminations. Until his 2011 appearance he only had two eliminations in six appearances. You would think with a guy billed as the World's Strongest Man that they would actually at least have him throw a few guys out. Anyways, Henry made his Rumble debut in 98 as the newest member of the Nation of Domination. This would be his best performance as he was in for 19:07 while eliminating Phinneas Godwinn and Ahmed Johnson in a double team effort with D'Lo Brown. He was in the last 5 before getting eliminated by Faarooq in goofy looking elimination. By his next Rumble appearance in 99, he was using his Sexual Chocolate gimmick and had repeatedly attempted to put the moves on Chyna to not a lot of success. He lasted 7:57 before getting eliminated by Chyna in real phony fashion. Chyna was clotheslined out right after by Austin while Henry just stood there laughing his ass off at her which was pretty funny. In 2000 he appeared during the end of the Royal Rumble swimsuit contest to cover up Mae Young but was left out of the Rumble match for some reason. I guess he was injured or something. Henry wouldn't be in another Rumble until 2004 as he was either injured or down in the WWF's developmental league OVW to sharpen his skills. Henry was eliminated by Chris Benoit that year in 5:14 after he had been stunned from taking Tajiri's green mist and Rhyno's gore. Henry would once again be out of the match for a few years as he was injured for 05 and 07 and was involved in the World Title match in 06 against Kurt Angle in what was one of worst main events in WWE PPV history. He was in the 08 Rumble, getting eliminated by Cena in 9:12. In 09 he was eliminated by Undertaker and Mysterio in just 3:14. In 010 he had a big man showdown with Big Show before both were eliminated by R-Truth of all people after 2:24 in the ring. 2011 was his best showing since his 98 run as he actually eliminated a couple people, putting out Chavo Guerrero and Yoshi Tatsu before Nexus ganged up on him and dumped him out after 7:04. Henry wasn't involved in the Rumble during his Hall of Pain run which were the best years of his career as he was either injured, off TV, or in other matches from 2012 to 2015. He was in the 2016 match after teaming with Jack Swagger to win a fatal four way qualifier match on the pre show, which ended up being completely pointless as both him and Swagger were eliminated quickly in the Rumble with Henry going out in just 30 seconds after getting body slammed by Braun Strowman and then dumped by all three Wyatt Family followers. Henry was back again for this years Rumble which was a bit of a surprise as he hadn't been on TV much over the previous year. Henry eliminated Jack Gallagher and his umbrella before becoming one of Braun Strowman's many victims.

56. Luke Harper-81 points (64)
Harper was in the last four Rumbles. 2014 was a good showing as he eliminated the Miz and Jey Uso and was in for 15:02 before getting eliminated by Roman Reigns. 2015 wasn't anything special as he was in for just a little over four minutes before both him and former Wyatt Family partner Erick Rowan, who wasn't officially in the match, were both dumped by former leader Bray Wyatt. By the 2016 Rumble the Wyatts had reunited, with all four being participants in the match. Harper had one of the better overall showings that year as he eliminated Neville and Stardust, assisted his teammates in eliminating Mark Henry, and was in for 23:40 before getting taken to supelx city and eliminated by Brock Lesnar. In this years Rumble he went rogue and attacked Bray and his other stablemate Randy Orton. He also eliminated Apollo Crews before getting tossed by Goldberg after 9:56.

55. Braun Strowman-82 points (107)
Accomplishments: Most Eliminations (2017)
The former Black Sheep of the Wyatt Family was in the last two Rumbles. He was impressive in his Rumble debut in 2016 as he eliminated Kane, Big Show, Sami Zayn, and Mark Henry in a group effort with his Wyatt partners before becoming a punching bag for the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar, who pummeled the big man for several minutes before eliminating him after a series of clotheslines after 16:44. This year was a big push for him as he dominated the early portion of the match while eliminating seven men. A triple team from Dean Ambrose, Sami Zayn, and Baron Corbin would do him in though as a big clothesline from Corbin sent him flying over the top rope after 13:11.

54. Booker T-84 points (52)
Booker was in the Rumble from 02 through 07 before making his return in the 2011 match. Booker kind of underachieved as far as ring time goes but did manage to rack up the eliminations. In his debut in 02 he entered at #30. He tossed RVD, who was down and out from the pedigree. Booker then celebrated with a spinaroni before turning around into a stunner from Stone Cold. Booker comically oversold it before falling over the top after just 33 seconds. By 03, Booker had turned face thanks to a unlikely partnership with Goldust which provided many funny backstage segments. Booker eliminated Eddie Guerrero before getting double teamed out by Team Angle, who had just eliminated Goldust, much to the chagrin of the fans. Booker was in for 6:20. In 04 he eliminated former WCW nemesis Scott Steiner and a distracted Kane before Orton dumped him in 9:11. In 05 he eliminated Luther Reigns and Orlando Jordan before getting eliminated by Guerrero and Mysterio after 10:42. He entered in 06 injured and was easily eliminated by Benoit in just 18 seconds. In 07 as King Booker, he eliminated Gregory Helms and the Sandman before getting tossed out by Kane after 9:23. Booker didn't take this well as he would get back into the ring and throw Kane out before beating him down on the floor, starting a pretty forgettable feud between the two. Booker left the company later in the year, but returned at the 2011 Rumble to a big pop. He hit all of the Nexus with his signature moves and almost had CM Punk out before Mason Ryan stepped in and tossed him after just a little over a minute. Booker was a commentator for the 2012 Rumble, but would still enter the Rumble match. Booker lasted 4:40 before both him and Great Khali were dumped in a heap by Cody Rhodes and Dolph Ziggler.

53. Mr. McMahon-86 points (51)
Accomplishments: 1999 Royal Rumble Winner, 1999 Ironman*
In his only Rumble appearance, Mr. McMahon won the 99 Rumble in very shady fashion. He's credited with a time of 56:38 although almost all of it was spent out of the ring. Going into the match the chairman made his nemesis "Stone Cold" Steve Austin enter the match at #1. However, then commissioner Shawn Michaels then forced McMahon to enter at #2. Austin beat up McMahon for the entire interval until Golga entered the match at #3. Austin tossed him in short order which gave Vince the opportunity to escape into the crowd. Vince then tried to lure Austin into the bathroom where his corporation was waiting. The Corporation beat down Austin, who then was taken to the hospital. Vince would then go to the commentary table. Meanwhile, Austin had commandeered the ambulance he was in and drove back to the arena. Austin returned to the ring and started opening a can of whoop ass on everybody in the ring. After eliminating Corporation member the Big Bossman, it was just him and Vince. Austin dragged Vince away from the commentary table and beat him all around ringside, before throwing him back in the ring and giving him the stunner. Before Austin could throw him out though, the Rock would come out and distract Austin which allowed McMahon to dump him out from behind to win the match.

52. Mabel/Viscera/Big Daddy V-87 points (50)
Was in the 94, 95, 96, 99, 2000, 05, 06, 07 and 08 Rumbles. In 94 as part of the Men on a Mission tag team, he helped in the elimination of Diesel before everybody ganged up on him and eliminated him after 9:57. In 95 he eliminated King Kong Bundy before getting dumped by Lex Luger after 1:58. By the 96 Rumble, Men on a Mission had turned heel and Mabel was given a singles push which included him winning the King of the Ring tournament. King Mabel lasted 12:14 before getting dumped by Yokozuna. After a couple of years away from the WWF, he returned at the 99 Rumble and entered the match after attacking Headbanger Mosh backstage and taking his spot. He eliminated Dan Severn, Steve Blackman, Tiger Ali Singh, the Blue Meanie, and Droz before the Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness attacked him and beat him out of the arena. He then become a member of the group as Viscera. In 2000 Viscera he had a showdown with Rikishi who had dominated the match up until that point. Rikishi eliminated him in 1:25 after a couple of superkicks and a shoulder tackle. He left again not long after but was back again in late 04 and was in the 05 Rumble. He was backdropped out by Cena in 3 minutes exactly. In 06 he eliminated Matt Hardy before getting double teamed out by Chris Masters and Carlito after 5:20. In 07 it took seven men to eliminate him after 6:22. In 08 as Big Daddy V he was in for 7:49 before getting eliminated by Triple H.

51. Big Bossman-88 points (49)
Accomplishments: Final Four (1999)
Bossman made Rumble appearances in both the Hulkamania and Attitude eras. In his Rumble debut in 89 he was a hated villian who was feuding with Hulk Hogan. He and his partner Akeem teamed up to dump Hogan, but the Hulkster then pulled the top rope down from the outside which caused Bossman to fall out after 4:18. The two then brawled to the back. Bossman was involved in other matches in 90 and 91 but was in the 92 Rumble for the World Title. By this point he was a popular babyface. Bossman only lasted 3:38 but did eliminate both Repo Man and Hercules in his time in. Bossman left the WWF in 93 and spent some time in WCW before returning in late 98 as a member of Mr. McMahon's Corporation. Bossman had a strong showing in the 99 Rumble, making the final 4 while eliminating X-Pac and D'Lo Brown before Stone Cold gave him the stunner and clotheslined him out after 18:53. 2000 was another good showing as he eliminated Chyna and Faarooq, and helped in the group elimination of Rikishi before the Rock came and laid the smackdown on him by spit punching him out of the ring after 22+ minutes. 2002 wasn't as good as he was stinkfaced and eliminated by Rikishi in just a little over 3 minutes.
