10 Weirdest WWE Royal Rumble Entrants Ever
2. Ernest Miller (2004)
Despite spending nearly four years in WCW, Ernest 'The Cat' Miller accomplished very little in the ring. In fact, his biggest claim to fame in the company was serving as its on-air commissioner three times before its closure in March 2001.
Miller sat out the rest of his WCW contract before signing with WWE in late 2002. He wrestled a handful of matches on Velocity and Sunday Night Heat but primarily served as commentator for the next year and a half.
Of all the times for Miller to make his televised in-ring debut, the 2004 Royal Rumble match was not it. During a heated face-off between Chris Benoit and Randy Orton, the sweet sounds of "Somebody Call My Momma" blared throughout the arena as Miller's personal ring announcer (fake afro and all) ran down the ramp to introduce the masses to The Cat.
The crowd clearly didn't know what to make of this development and responded with silence as Miller danced around the ring to his own entrance theme for what felt like forever. The only reaction the former three-time Karate World champion received was when he (and his ring announcer) were sent spiraling down to ringside in under 60 seconds.
After wrestling two more matches on SmackDown, Miller was released from WWE, raising the question of why officials bothered to put him in the Rumble if he was already on his way out.
