10 Great Wrestlers Who Were Only In One WWE Royal Rumble
5. Hawk (1991)
1991 was the only Royal Rumble in which the Legion of Doom were able to appear together, with Hawk and Animal notching a couple of eliminations between them, including a team-up on The Undertaker. Animal eventually appeared in his second rumble 15 years later, with his three-minute 2006 run preventing him from appearing alongside his former partner on this list.
The Legion of Doom were on the Rumble card in 1992, losing a Tag Team Title match with the Natural Disasters via countout. They returned to the show to wrestle The New Age Outlaws for the same belts six years later. June 1998 then saw them compete in a Tag Title contendership Rumble on Raw, though such bouts are disqualified here.
Hawk and Animal bouncing out of WWE in 1992 and not returning until 1997, then departing again in 1999, explains the lack of Rumble appearances. Though they weren't quite the same force in WWE as they were in WCW and the National Wrestling Alliance, they'd have been certs for more appearances had their Stamford tenures been longer.
