20 WWE Royal Rumble Facts You Didn't Know

14. The First Man Eliminated From A Royal Rumble

Bret Hart was the first person enter a Royal Rumble, but which individual holds the dubious distinction of being the first over the top ropes?

That dishonour lies with former Doom man Butch Reed - the first to enter with the clock - whose dreams of glory were poisoned by Jake 'The Snake' Roberts after just three and a bit minutes. It was also Reed's only Rumble appearance, as he left the company shortly after WrestleMania IV. Not such a 'natural' after all.
