The Royal Rumble has long been one of the most interesting and exciting concepts created by the WWE and provides the opportunity for examples of showmanship and spectacle that most matches dont. Since its inception in 1988, it has been won by some of the biggest stars in wrestling history, but it's not always the winners that steal the show. Pat Patterson is credited with creating that match and coming up with the idea to have entrants enter one at a time which leaves matches tending to last for at least an hour. Initially there were only twenty competitors, and once there were forty, but more often than not there are thirty superstars in a traditional Royal Rumble match. The Royal Rumble match offers up-and-coming superstars to show off everything they can do, and main event players can remind people why they have that spot. More than any other wrestling match, anything truly can happen in a Royal Rumble, and thats why its one of the most anticipated events of the year. Whether its going the distance from #1 to eventual winner, or eliminating a whole host of superstars, there have been some unbelievable accomplishments in past Royal Rumbles. With the 2015 Rumble looming, here are the ten most impressive performances in the history of the match
