Ranking EVERY WWE Royal Rumble Match From Worst To Best

47. Mini Royal Rumble (Monday Night Raw, January 14th 2008)

Though WWE have done worse with minis, the match is still an entire mockery of Hornswoggle et al and proffers punching down as a punchy plot.

Exchanges between Hornswoggle and some of the minature main roster imposters are genuinely decent, but every second of this - soundtracked by Jerry Lawler's best repurposed Dink jokes - laughs squarely in the face of little people.
