Ranking The Worst Performer In Every WWE Royal Rumble Match

40. 1988 - Junkyard Dog

Lasted 2:30.

Confirmation, if it were needed, that entering the Royal Rumble match late on didn't quantify a guaranteed victory, Junkyard Dog's two minutes and thirty seconds in the match was, historically speaking, impressive. He's the only entry on this list to have lasted over a minute in his respective Rumble.

Dumped out by forgotten Golden Era staple Ron Bass after an equally-as-forgettable run, JYD's sole Royal Rumble performance wasn't much to write home about. He needn't impress anyone, though; the 1988 outing of the match was more about testing the Pat Patterson-created and Vince McMahon-loathed formula as a prime television special, a test screening if you will for what would soon become many's most anticipated WWE event of the calendar year.
