Just a small post from me, but looking forward to your comments.
I just rewatched the 2018 Rumbles and found two things interesting:
1. In the Men's Rumble Finn Balor enters as #2 and lasts until the Final Four. 57 minutes for Finn. Forgot about that.
2. In the Women's Rumble, when Trish and Mickie James face off (to a huge pop), Trish reenacts the "hand symbol" back to Mickie in a nod to their WrestleMania 22 match. Never noticed that before, and the commentary doesn't mention it.

Heath Slater taking like 10 minutes to enter the match because he keeps getting laid out in the aisleway by the guys after him.

I think Trish replied to someone saying the hand gesture was a reference to title reigns; I think the camera angle/cut made it look like something else!

Nakamura and Roman's battle as the final two in 2018 was awesome. I could be wrong, but I feel that it doesn't get remembered due to how Nakamura was booked against AJ.

I completely forgot they were the final two. Until I rewatched last year, I remembered the Cena elimination as being the last one. |

I think Reigns has been the last one eliminated like four times, he lost to Batista, Orton, Nakamura and Drew? |

I've always loved Jericho's performance in the 2003 Rumble. He eliminated Shawn Michaels (which pissed me off) and then proceeded to give a Shawn Michaels-like performance, which won me over. Really thought he was gonna win it that year.

Blackjack Bradshaw was in the 1998 Royal Rumble for 35 minutes and 45 seconds, the only one to last longer was The Rock, at 51 minutes and 32 seconds. Other standout performers included 8-Ball, who lasted 30:43, and Headbanger Thrasher, who lasted 28:08.

It's pretty bad luck to draw #1 in the Rumble. You'd think to draw #1 TWICE would be remarkably unlucky. And yet SEVEN men have had the misfortune to have to enter the Rumble at #1 on two occasions.

Yeah, in six attempts at the Rumble (2014-2018, 2020) he has never finished worse than Top 3. Winner in 2015, runner-up in 2014, 2017, 2018 and 2020 and third in 2016. |

I always love when the final 2 in the Rumble have something of a mini match before the final elimination. Sheamus and Jerocho had a great final stretch in 2012 and HBK and Taker was awesome in 07. One of my favorite things was in 2010 when HBK has become obsessed with gettng revenge on Taker at Mania, he enters the Rumble wearing the pants he wore 10 months prior as if to remind himself what he's fighting for and use it as extra motivation. It's nice and subtle and I don't think the announcers even noticed it. |

It was also putting aside his friendship with Triple H, as neither man wore their DX attire that night despite being tag champions together at the time. |

In the 2004 Rumble, Angle punches Benoit (or Benoit punches Angle I forget) and it makes a super weird BWOMP sound.

2015 has a really fun sequence between DDP and Cody that gets overlooked for the shower of shit surrounding it.

Demolition failing to eliminate Andre the Giant in 1989, but succeeding in 1990.
