10 Best Performers In Royal Rumble History (According To The Stats)

2. Shawn Michaels - 204pts

Records: Most Career Eliminations In Royal Rumble History (39) = 50pts Wins: 2 ('95, '96) = 60pts Awards: 3 (Most Eliminations '95, '96, Iron Man '95) = 45pts Entries: 12 (2nd Place) = 9pts Career Eliminations: 39 (1st Place) = 10pts Personal Best Eliminations: 8 in '95 and '96 (4th Place) = 7pts Average Eliminations: 3.3 (5th Place) = 6pts Career Time: 3:40:42 (2nd Place) = 9pts Personal Best Time: 0:38:41 in '95 (7th Place) = 4pts Average Time: 0:18:37 (7th Place) = 4pts Total: 204pts Much like the man himself during his career; Shawn Michaels' stats go against what you'd expect and surprise you. Most fans would've had money on The Heart Break Kid having impressive Time stats with his Elimination stats not being as good; and, in fact, it's the complete opposite. One reason for this may be that his longevity and participation in twelve Rumble matches over the years have butchered his Time stats while giving him more opportunity to boost his Elimination stats; much as it did for Kane earlier in the list (though Michaels' Average Elimination stat didn't suffer as much as Kane's). But it doesn't matter in the long run as Michaels' Record, two Wins, three Awards and impressive stats have earned him the runner-up spot; so it can't have hindered him too much really.
