7 WWE Royal Rumble Cliches We'll Definitely See This Year

7. "Only One Man Has Ever Won After Entering First"

OK, it's perfectly understandable that WWE are reluctant to bring up you-know-who on their programming, but wouldn't it be better to simply avoid this particular piece of trivia altogether, instead of awkwardly attempting to convince us, every year, that Shawn Michaels was the only ever Rumble winner to enter at the number one spot?

Aside from that, it's more than a little odd that commentators appear to believe winning the thing from the number one spot is somehow more impressive than it is if you enter at number two: in either case you have to see off 29 others en route to victory. This appears to be borne from the belief that the extra few seconds you get in the back at the beginning of the match makes any sort of difference to your performance.
