10 Things You Didn't Know About The Bushwhackers

4. Bushwhacker Luke Had The Record For Shortest Royal Rumble Time

In one of the funniest Royal Rumble appearances in history, Luke made his way to the ring in typical Bushwhacker form for the 1991 event. Earthquake would eliminate him in a short 3.9 seconds. The funny part about his elimination is he immediately resumed his Bushwhacker walk out of the arena. The crowd loved it. Even though Luke was recognized for years as having the shortest Royal Rumble time, the real record was actually held by The Warlord in the 1989 Royal Rumble. Hulk Hogan eliminated him in 2 seconds in a record that would stand for around two decades. It's unclear why WWE ignored the true record (along with two 3-second eliminations of Mo and Owen Hart in 1995).
Regardless of who was the record-holder then, the current and undisputed record now belongs to Santino Marella. His 1.5 second elimination in 2009 by Kane is the shortest time in Rumble history.
