Final Rumble Facts For People Who Didn't See It

[Crook]

How did Sabu get eliminated? Did Mahoney participate? At least Punk and Thorn faired well I guess.

[DrizzlinShytes]

Sandman was buried despite the pop for his entrance. Dreamer was chunked by Kane. Sabu was chokeslammed through a table by Kane.

How was Sabu eliminated? And why was Sandman pointless? How did CM Punk fare?

Punk was in there for quite a long time, and the commentators kept making reference to him sticking around. Sandman was in .... and out.

No Mahoney. Punk lasted awhile and looked alright. Thorne...was there (I don't remember much of his time in) and Sabu was chokeslammed threw a table that he sat up by Kane.

Kane - 3
Booker - 3* [eliminated Kane after being eliminated himself]
Chris Benoit - 2
Randy Orton - 1.5

Longest In-Ring
by number drawn vs. number eliminated:
Edge 23 (28th elim - 5 entry)
CM Punk 11 (22nd eliminated - 11 entry)
Randy Orton 11 (27th eliminated - 16th entry)
Finlay 10 (12th eliminated - 2nd entry)

I didn't keep track of time, but I assume that the top times this year were Edge, Orton, CM Punk, Shelton Benjamin, and possibly HBK, depending on how long after Taker entered was the match ended.

I started figuring it out after the Rumble went off the air. I was gonna make an entirely seperate thread, but I got beat to it.

LIVE Rumble fact:

Taker's entrance sucked. I want a REAL live Taker entrance, with the the lights out for two minutes, very dim lights flashing, lighters up, him slowly saunterting to the ring.
