10 Most Insane WWE Royal Rumble Spots Ever

7. Kofi Kingston's Pogo Chair (2013)

This one is a little different, and it was admittedly tough to choose between Kofi Kingston's insanely creative ways to avoid Royal Rumble elimination.

After somehow maintaining his balance enough to perform a walking handstand in 2012, Kofi would later use Adam Rose's Rosebuds, the ringside barrier, a plate of pancakes, the ring post and Big E's shoulders to cheat the long-standing Rumble rules that both feet must touch the arena floor. His best effort was in 2013.

Kofi was knocked off the ring apron and leapt onto Tensai's back. Albert's short-lived Japanese gimmick then laid Kingston down on the Spanish announce desk and pasted him with some strikes before leaving. That's where the fun started; Kofi sized up a jump from the announce position to the ring, then grabbed JBL's chair and used that as a pogo stick instead.

He'd have looked like a right moron had the chair given way, slipped or fallen over, and Kingston was likely breathing a sigh of relief when he made it back to safety. Once again, he'd found an ingenious way to stay in the Rumble, baaaaaaaaaabyyyyyyy.
