10 Infamous WWE Royal Rumble One Hit Wonders

3. Dusty Rhodes - 1990

Resplendent in polka dot, The American Dream made his one and only Royal Rumble appearance in 1990. The future WWE Hall of Famer came out at number 10 and made a huge impact. He went straight after his WrestleMania VI opponent 'Macho King' Randy Savage and ultimately eliminated the newest member of the WWE's Hall Of Fame with a huge back body drop. Later, Dusty and Demolition Ax tied up Andre the Giant in the ropes and delivered dual elbows to the skull in order to stun him. Dusty even got rid of Bret Hart, but that went mostly unnoticed as Demolition were in the middle of taking it to the Colossal Connection and getting rid of Andre. Dusty finally said his goodbyes once Earthquake entered and made short work of his elimination. He lasted a fantastic 18:18, which is a whole lot longer than his WWE run suggested he was capable of. It was good to see the older Dream could still go.
