10 Fascinating WWE Royal Rumble 2002 Facts
5. Six Of The Final Eight Entrants Lasted Three Minutes Or Less
Perhaps Triple H's ring entrance lasted a wee bit too long. Helmsley entered 22nd and brawled with Stone Cold, at a point when they were the only two left in the ring. There were still eight entries to go, and there's a pretty good chance that the timing may have fallen into disarray.
The next two entrants were quick tosses: The Hurricane (comically) and Faarooq. Each lasted roughly 40 seconds. After Mr. Perfect and Kurt Angle entered concurrently (both lasting til the final four), the last four men would enter and exit in short order.
Big Show entered 27, and lasted 2:45. Kane was next, and he only made it 1:02. Rob Van Dam was a house of fire at 29 before being Pedigreed dead by Triple H (just to remind everyone what the pecking order was). His corpse was tossed out by number 30, Booker T, after 2:12 of duration. Booker was Stunned by Austin after a spinarooni, and expelled after 33 seconds. But hey, Helmsley got his special entrance.
