10 Key Numbers Associated With The Royal Rumble

5. Latest Entrant To Be First Eliminated (5 - Three Occurrences)

In a Royal Rumble match, it is always tough when you have an early draw into the match. Sometimes it can lead to success as a total of 5 Royal Rumble wins have came from someone entering the Rumble either 1, 2, or 3. However, most times it leads to an early exit. No one ever wants the distinction of being the first person to be thrown over the top rope in the Rumble match, and the latest entrant to ever be thrown out first is #5 in 1995, 2004, and 2009. In 1995, it was Jimmy Del Ray; who was best known as a member of the Heavenly Bodies with Tom Prichard. For 2004, it was Bradshaw, who was still part of the APA at this time. In 2009, it was The Great Khali, who is probably best known for being the worst world champion in WWE history. Having #5 as the latest entrant being first eliminated seems kind of early in the list, but typically you have a good #1 and #2 match-up to start the Rumble with the #3 entrant typically being a jobber that gets dumped over the top rope quickly.
