10 Fascinating WWE Royal Rumble 1993 Facts
3. Only One Man Wrestled In The First Six Royal Rumble Matches
Even as the roster morphed on an increasing basis throughout the early-nineties, there were still some consistencies to be found. One of them involves the only wrestler that can say he took part in the first six Royal Rumble matches.
That man is none other than Tito Santana, who wrestled in each January classic from 1988 through 1993. Santana was one of only four men to have taken part in both the 1988 and 1989 matches, so it was only a matter of time before the list whittled down to a sole claimant.
The only man besides Santana to have taken part in the first five Rumble matches was Jake Roberts, who competed in the 1988-92 matches, and then left the company in April 1992, after working WrestleMania 8.
