10 Most Unwanted Records In WWE Royal Rumble History
4. Most Failures From Number 30
Big Show: 2 (2009 and 2012)
More bad news for the Big Show, because he’s also had more failures from the coveted number 30 spot than any other performer in Rumble history.
Statistically speaking, number 30 should be the easiest spot from which to win the match-up, and in the past we’ve seen the Undertaker, John Cena, and Triple H prove that theory in 2007, 2008, and 2016 respectively.
For the Big Show, that hasn’t been the case. In 2009 he entered at number 30 and, although he put in a decent showing of six eliminations in just under 10 minutes, was eliminated by eventual winner Randy Orton. Then in 2012 it was déjà vu for the big man; a two-minute cameo, featuring four eliminations, ended when Orton eliminated him for the second time in a matter of just a few years.
It'd be remiss not to mention that Undertaker also has two failures from number 30 under his belt—first in 1997, then again in 2003—but as mentioned previously, he atones for those failures with his success from number 30 at the 2007 edition.
