R-Truth’s elimination from the Royal Rumble this year proved to be hilarious but incredibly
embarrassing for himself when he came to the ring as entrant number 12. R-Truth ran down
to the ring and grabbed a ladder from out under the ring, incorrectly believing the
match to be a Money in the Bank ladder match. Upon realising his error, R-Truth who had
climbed up the ladder was then pulled down by Kane as the other participants watched
and was subsequently eliminated by Kane.
The Warlord’s Royal Rumble record was a record that stood for 20 years before being
broken by our number 2 pick who we will get to later. During the 1989 Royal Rumble match,
The Warlord entered the Royal Rumble as the 21st entrant, however, as soon as he got into
the ring, he was eliminated by Hulk Hogan in 2 seconds! I guess he would be happy now
that the record has been broken but it was an embarrassing record that was stuck with
him for 20 long years.
During the 1999 Royal Rumble, Mark Henry entered the Royal Rumble as entrant number 26. However,
his most embarrassing moment came later on the match when entrant number 30 came down
to the ring. This was Chyna, the first female wrestler to enter a Royal Rumble match. When
she entered the match, she turned her attention to Mark Henry who was inviting her to fight
him. She delivered a few punches and kicks to Sexual Chocolate as he was known back then
before throwing the 400-pound man over the top rope. Probably not a proud moment for
Mark Henry as he is dubbed the “World’s Strongest Man” and was eliminated by a female
who was literally half his size.
Santino Marella appears on this list for his embarrassing moment for being the wrestler
who spent the shortest time in a single Royal Rumble match. During the 2009 Royal Rumble,
Santino Marella entered the Royal Rumble as entrant number 28. Even with that amazing
draw, Santino did not manage to get a chance because as soon as he entered the ring he
was eliminated by Kane in a record time of 1.5 seconds, breaking the previous record
held by The Warlord in 1989, which was held for 20 years!
The 7ft 3’ Punjabi Playboy had what I thought was the most embarrassing elimination during
a Royal Rumble match. During the 2010 Royal Rumble match, The Great Khali came in as entrant
number 5. Entrant number 6 who was Beth Phoenix came to the ring, being the second woman to
enter a Royal Rumble match. With nearly a 2ft difference in height and roughly 300lbs
difference in weight, Beth Phoenix shockingly managed to eliminate the giant from the Royal
Rumble with the help of her feminine charm. The Great Khali left the Royal Rumble eliminating
nobody and being eliminated by
a woman. Oh dear…
