10 Worst WWE Royal Rumble Number 30 Entrants Ever
3. The Warlord - 1992
Speaking of big men who entered Rumbles late on in an attempt to increase their credibility, The Warlord was arguably the blueprint for such booking moves. The Warlord entered the 1991 and 1992 Rumbles at numbers 29 and 30 respectively, each time eliciting talk of being a favourite from the announcers. "He's big, he's fresh," they would say, trying to create the possibility that the big guy could go on and win the whole thing.
This was early '90s WWF however, and being a big fresh dude pretty much guaranteed that you would run into Hulk Hogan and swiftly be vanquished. This is exactly what happened to The Warlord, lasting just one minute and 35 seconds in 1991, before doing just as badly as the number 30 a year later. Warlord entered, and one minute and 43 seconds later Warlord left, the victim of Hogan once again.
The Warlord will go down in history as one of the worst Royal Rumble entrants in history. He entered the match on four occasions, and these two debacles at the end of the match don't even come close to his worst performance, a two-second wonder in 1989. No matter what number he entered the match, The Warlord was never long for the Rumble world.
