I thought the whole Royal Rumble pool thing was missing somthing. A prize. So then it occured to me, WRISTBANDS!!. Cheap and perhaps even tacky but a prize nonetheless. So I bought 2 of them off ebay and they will be awarded as follows:

Main prize- obviously if your wrestler wins the Rumble. You will be the envy of all your friends with a purple (at least I think it is) EDGE WRISTBAND!!

Consolation prize- we can call it the Bushwhaker Luke award, whoever wrestlers lasts the least amount of time will receive, brace your self for it an ORLANDO JORDAN WRISTBAND which you can wear with pride/shame.

So there you have it. Tommorow I might throw out some useless statistics, on what numbers have won etc.. But for now thats really it.

Cactus Col

well .. whoever has number 2 has no chance!

Charlie

Accroding to wikipedia:
# Superstars have won at 1(2x),2,3,5,13,18,22,23,24(3x),25,27(4x),28, and 29.

# Superstars have not won at 4,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14,15,16,17,19,20,21,26, and 30.

Pay Per View. However I always find that along with mania, the royle rumble is always worth a few bunses.

It actually may suprise people to know that it was wwe that pushed for the events to go ppv in the U.K. Extra revenue, but more importantly they can bolster there fledging ppv buyrates with extra buys coming form here and the U.K so that there buyrates to the U.S public don't seem as bad as tey actually are. Sky were more than happy to keep all the events on sky sports.

[QUOTEand i love wikipedia it knows every thing:p[/QUOTE]
I know it just seems to know evereything and is always updated with great speed and accuarcy. Type in scanger and see hoe well they sum them up. They even manage to differenciate with great accuracy between the irish scanger and the english chav. For further laughs type in d4. Sorry that that was a bit off topic.

Fozzy

Well, here's hoping no.9 wins for once. I think it's safe to say that no.30's screwed! What's the bets I have the guy who lasts for over an hour, only to be knocked out in the last 4 despite a valiant effort?!


Just thought I'd stick in the guys who are in the Rumble, according to WWE.com:


- Bobby Lashley
- Rob Van Dam
- Chavo Guerrero
- Triple H
- Shelton Benjamin
- Kane
- Viscera
- Trevor Murdoch
- Sylvan
- Big Show
- Shawn Michaels
- Chris Masters
- Carlito
- Chris Benoit
- Rey Mysterio
- Randy Orton
- Matt Hardy
- Orlando Jordan
- Road Warrior Animal
- Psicosis
- Super Crazy
- Johnny Nitro
- Joey Mercury
- Simon Dean

Courtesy of Wikpedia some useless but fun statistics about the rumble:



* The Royal Rumble match was reportedly created by Pat Patterson, who was inspired by the annual Cow Palace battle royal.
* The first Royal Rumble in 1988 aired on the USA Network. The 1988 Rumble was unusual for two reasons: It featured only twenty competitors rather than what would become the standard thirty, and any egress over the top rope constituted an elimination (regardless of whether that wrestler's feet touched the floor).
* The first two wrestlers to ever compete in a Royal Rumble were Bret Hart and Tito Santana, who in the inaugural 1988 match drew #1 and #2 respectively. The first wrestler ever eliminated in a Royal Rumble was "The Natural" Butch Reed.
* While the #1 draw would appear to be the worst possible number of entry, the first entrant has twice won the Royal Rumble: Shawn Michaels in 1995 and Chris Benoit in 2004.
* A year after Chris Benoit entered #1 and won the event, he entered in 2005 at #2. He was one of the last 6 remaining superstars.
* Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit who headlined the world championship matches for SmackDown! and Raw respectively at WrestleMania 20, began the annual event in 2005 at numbers 1 and 2 respectively.
* At the 1992 Royal Rumble, Ric Flair was the first wrestler to win the WWF Championship in the Royal Rumble match. As of 2006, he is the only wrestler to ever do so.
* Despite being ostensibly the best draw possible, no wrestler has ever won the Royal Rumble from the #30 position. The closest was Brock Lesnar in 2003, who entered at number 29.
o However, the following wrestlers who have entered at Number 30 were the last eliminated in the Rumble: Ted Dibiase (1989), Mr. Perfect (1990), Randy Savage (1993), and The Undertaker (2003)
* Superstars have won at 1(2x),2,3,5,13,18,22,23,24(3x),25,27(4x),28, and 29.
* Superstars have not won at 4,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14,15,16,17,19,20,21,26, and 30.
* Bret Hart & Shawn Michaels are the only superstars to have entered the Royal Rumble Match as #1 on two or more occasions. Bret Hart in 1988 and 1991 and Shawn Michaels in 1995 & 2003. Michaels volunteered for the #1 entry in 2003.
* Undertaker is the only superstar to have entered the Royal Rumble as #30 on two or more occasions, in 1997 and 2003.
* Batista has participated in two Royal Rumble matches, entering as #28 in both matches; 2003 and 2005, winning the latter.
* The 1991 Royal Rumble was the first to have a WWF Heavyweight Championship Match on the card, featuring The Ultimate Warrior defending the title against Sgt. Slaughter.

Lita Forever

I'm surprised it doesn't mention that Chyna was the first (and only) woman to compete in the Royal Rumble. ( 99 & 2000)

Vince135792003

I'm pretty sure it does. I only copied about half of Wikpedia stats. I thought if I posted anymore people might would die of boredom. There's only so many useless statisitcs people can stomach!

Lita Forever

Ahh right. I thought that was them all lol.

I think Sylvan may have beaten him to quickest eliminated though,

Mr.Nice Guy

I had Triple H at number one which was fitting since I tipped him weeks ago. Can't believe he didn't win it but I'm well pleased for Mysterio.
