You see it in many Rumbles and battle royals: some huge mammoth of a man is descended upon by a cadre of smaller wrestlers, in an attempt to hoist the quarter-ton mauler out of the ring. Andre the Giant, Yokozuna, Earthquake - all know the feeling.

Viscera does too. After being superkicked by Shawn Michaels in the 2007 bout, he fell back into a scrum of eight men that managed to deposit him over the top rope. It stands as the current record for most men needed to eliminate one wrestler.

The previous record? That would also belong to Viscera, back when he was known as Mabel. It took seven men to eliminate the goliath Man on a Mission there. Coincidentally, Shawn Michaels and Bob "Hardcore" Holly played a role in both eliminations.
