10 Best WWE Royal Rumble Eliminations Ever

8. Doink The Clown (1994)

Doink The Clown largely had the measure of Bam Bam Bigelow in the early days of their 1993/94 feud. The terrifying tattooed star had been made a fool of up to that point, particularly in the hideously cartoonish Survivor Series clash the prior November that saw him literally squashed by Men On A Mission and The Bushwhackers dressed up as the no-longer-evil clown.

He'd get a modicum of revenge at the 1994 Royal Rumble though, strolling into the match following a brutal beatdown of his rival by fellow giants Diesel and Crush.

Having annihilated Doink, the pair of seven-footers opened the ropes for Bammer as a welcoming gesture for enraged heel. He delivered a few token strikes before press-slamming him clean out of the ring. Taking flight, Doink landed hard on his knees, recovering just in time to take a sh*t-kicking again in their WrestleMania 10 payoff.
