4. Worst Performance By The #30 Entrant (33 - Booker T)
On the surface, you would think being the #30 entrant into the Royal Rumble would mean instant success, but it has won just as many Rumble matches as the #1 entrant with two a piece. Wade Barrett showed the best longevity by a #30 entrant back in 2011 clocking in at 22:23 before being the 37th person eliminated in the only 40-man Rumble match ever. On the other side of that coin is Booker T unfortunately. In the 2001, Booker T had come over to the WWE fresh off the Invasion angle that severely fell shot of expectations; however, Booker was one of the brightest WCW stars to shine in the WWE. Between Survivor Series and the Royal Rumble, Booker T was feuding with Stone Cold Steve Austin; which lead to one of the greatest moments in Smackdown history with the brawl in the grocery store. Unfortunately in the 2002 Royal Rumble, Booker T entered last at #30, and a mere 33 seconds later Austin threw him out making him the worst performing #30 entrant ever.
