Everybody remembers the iconic Royal Rumble performances. The guys who hung around for incredibly long periods of time, sometimes even over an hour. However, not every wrestler can defy the odds and stick around as opponent after opponent is eliminated. Sometimes, a wrestler’s Royal Rumble appearance is swift and ignominious. This video is dedicated to those Royal Rumble moments.
The WWE put together a video of the top 10 Royal Rumble “fails” to commemorate these events, which are usually played for laughs more than anything else. Hey, 30 wrestlers compete in the Royal Rumble. Not everybody can have a real, significant run, and you don’t want the ring to get too crowded. So these grapplers do us the favor of bringing a little levity, and brevity, to the Rumble.
You can watch guys like one of the Bushwackers and Jerry “The King” Lawler be swiftly dispatched. “Macho Man” Randy Savage tries to pin Yokozuna for some reason. Then, of course, there’s Santino Marella, who holds the record for shortest Royal Rumble appearance at one second.
At this year’s Royal Rumble, there will likely be a wrestler or two who really hangs on for a long period of time. There will also probably be a couple wrestlers who only are in the ring for but a fleeting moment. They deserve love too.
