Given the standing of the lower-ranked performers in the 40-man field, it's little surprise that so many of them were gone in little to no time at all.

A total of 16 wrestlers out of the 40 entrants (that's 40 percent) failed to even reach three minutes among the fray. That group included wrestlers that would never take part in another Rumble match, like Tyler Reks, Vladimir Kozlov, Chavo Guerrero, Chris Masters, and JTG.

Six of those wrestlers were gone in under one minute, and each of them were eliminated by either John Cena, CM Punk, or Daniel Bryan. Both Tyson Kidd and Heath Slater were chucked by Cena, Reks and Kozlov via Punk, and Zack Ryder and Justin Gabriel by Bryan.
