Was that the one where he was the last entrant and the entire crowd took a collective shit all over him? His only mistake? He wasn't Daniel Bryan. I agree!

For me it's any of the randoms that turn up and do nothing.
Squat Team Members 1 & 2 Omori Doug Gilbert Tenryu (in 1993, in 1994 he had a bit of a storyline for being there)
Mil Mascaras is at least a big name that adds a bit of excitement despite his infamous elimination. Also in 1997 were Cibernetico, Pierroth and Latin Lover.

Memorable entrant and moment with Kane that people still remember to this day = good use of a spot in the Rumble. Better than having Chaz or D'Lo in there doing nothing IMO.

So there is a thread about the Best Comedy Rumble Entrant but for every good entrant there has to be a worst entrant aka Waste of a Spot. Out of all the Rumble Matches, which entrant or entrants do you consider being the Worst Rumble Entrant. Mine I posted in the Comedy Rumble Entrant thread. Yeah Tazz and Lamont and the Wig getting Eliminated made Ernest Millers spot work. Other than that he was possibly one of the worst Rumble Entrant Spots Ever To be fair though at least his performance was memorable. Bradshaw also entered that year, hit a few moves and was eliminated by Chris Benoit in less than 90 seconds. At least The Cat got a laugh out of me. 6 months later, he’s WWE Champion.

Bradshaw in 2004 was a crazy one, first guy eliminated from the Rumble then was in a throw away match at Wrestlemania that year.. Did not look like someone who would be winning the WWE title that year.
Kofi Kingston in 2019 was the same, did nothing of note, joined Xavier in a messy save only to get booted out straight away then went on to win the WWE title at that Wrestlemania.

If we're talking failed attempts to win the thing, Kofi Kingston's been in like 12 Rumbles and hasn't won a single one of them. Ziggler has a similarly high number. His dumb spots are made even dumber by the fact he's lasted a combined 15 seconds in ring after them before getting eliminated as well. You'd think at some point Kofi would focus more on trying to win one instead of doing cool elimination saves

Makes you wonder just how far ahead JBL was actually planned.

Another weird one from 2004 was Shelton Benjamin. Tossed by Orton in 30 seconds and three months later is pinning Triple H. I guess both of their pushes were more spur of the moment because there's no way they were planned well in advance with how poorly both were presented in the match.

I love Titus O'Neil but he is literally the first name that came to mind. Dude is the Hank Aaron XXIV of Royal Rumbles. If you're referring to the Titus WorldSLIDE incident, then I can see the comparison, he's also had shit performances such as 2015 when he was eliminated in 3 seconds. Funny enough, he was suppose to be in for 1 second(tying Santino's "record"), but it was botched. He literally failed at being a failure. Another one was in 2019 when he was eliminated by fellow JTTS Curt Hawkins in 5 seconds. He did have more respectable performances in 2013 and 2016 though when he lasted 7 and 8 minutes respectively. He even scored an elimination in the latter. I think he was getting a minor push at the time too. William Regal severely underperformed for somebody with his longevity and position on the card. In all fairness, in his 10 plus year run as an active wrestler, he was in 3 Royal Rumbles, but they all totaled nearly 11 minutes. In 2001, he was eliminated by Test after 2 minutes. In 2009, he was in for over 4 minutes before getting eliminated by CM Punk. In 2011, he NEARLY got an elimination with John Morrison, but he hung onto the guard rail to do that parkour spot. He(Regal) was then eliminated by Ted Dibiase jr shortly after. Erick Rowan is another one who always got shafted when it came to Royal Rumbles. He's been in like 3 or 4 totalling 10 minutes and only one stinking assist. It would've been nice to see him clean house when he was getting that unhinged monster push in late 2019/early 2020, but he was a victim of the Brock Lesnar burial parade by being bitched out by The Beast Incarnate in 8 seconds. I long feel that he and Riddle should've switched places(Riddle was number 23, Rowan was 3), and have Rowan eliminate two guys(lets say Dolph Ziggler and Aleister Black) to make him looked dominate before getting taken out by someone high profile like Drew McIntyre or Edge. Though let's be honest, with Brock Lesnar at #1, it wouldn't really matter WHO the next 14 entrants would be since we'd all complain(rightfully) that the first half of roster looked like chumps. I just can't picture it happening any other way(both Lesnar dominating half the match and the IWC's reaction to it).

THIS WAS AN ULTIMATE YES!!!! TERRIBLE WASTE OF A SPOT!!!! That entire Rumble Match was full of Mid to Lower tier talent and hell even jobbers were in that match. They didn't need Michael Cole, they could have put Yoshi Tatsu or someone in that spot. Tatsu was actually in a dark match against Heath Slater before the show started

Karl Anderson AND Luke Gallows in 2020 made me so mad. Just boring nothings with no crowd interest, no interesting spots or any storyline purpose

I feel like there’s about three rumbles where you get to number 30 and it’s just the Big Show again

I feel like there’s about three rumbles where you get to number 30 and it’s just the Big Show again It may seem that way, but Big Show has only been #30 in 2009 and 2012. Late numbers otherwise perhaps, but only #30 those years. Undertaker's the only 3 time #30 from my research with 1997, 2003 and 2007.
