10 Massive Exaggerations In WWE

5. Royal Rumble

Since ’93, the Royal Rumble is the most exciting match on the calendar for any fan. And with every year WWE lies/inflates the Rumble statistics it disposes to us in video packages.

Take the nonsensical graphic that 900 plus superstars have entered the Royal Rumble since its inception – they’re conveniently not including wrestlers who’ve made multiple appearances in Rumbles through the years.

Then there’s the idiocy WWE commentators and Superstar promos still state every year that the winner of the Royal Rumble goes on to headline WrestleMania, which we all know is a bogus claim in 2020. Go on, ask previous winners Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio or Shinsuke Nakamura what it was like to headline WrestleMania and see what they say.

And after the Rumble most winners cut a promo on the following Raw or SmackDown declaring, "I beat 29 other wrestlers!” Which is usually drivel given that wrestler’s usual mid entry point into the match is when many others have already been eliminated at that point. You could make the argument Shawn Michaels, Chris Benoit, Rey Mysterio and Vince McMahon are the only ones who can truly utter that statement given they all won the Rumble from the number 1 or 2 spot.
