Not that there was much shame being one of those soon-to-be refugees from the ECW brand. The "Express Rumble" was one that wasn't so giving on long durations, seeing as most of the entrants didn't have much time to, "get their s--t in."

Eventual winner Edge posted the tenth-longest time in the match: a mere seven minutes and 37 seconds. That was understandable, since he was just coming off of a long-term injury, but for 20 other wrestlers to not even match that mark speaks to quite an accelerated Rumble.
