Four years after five wrestlers collaborated to eliminate the Canadian Earthquake, it took seven to do the same in order to eliminate Mabel in his first Royal Rumble appearance.

It was a strangely toothless Rumble debut. Mabel lasted almost 10 minutes, but only managed to eliminate one individual. Sure, that man was Diesel, but Mabel had help from three others to get the job done. Still, this was better than his sub-two minute appearance in 1995.

By 1996 Mabel had become King Mabel, but his Royal Rumble luck stayed the same. A twelve minute run with no eliminations was ended by Yokozuna, and three years passed before everything changed for the big man. By everything I mean everything, as Mabel eliminated five men in less than two minutes before being kidnapped by the Ministry of the Darkness. Mabel was about to become Viscera.

Viscera took part in the 2000 Rumble, but his luck was still old Mabel, as he was eliminated by Rikishi in less than two minutes. Five more years passed before Viscera waddled through the curtain again, lasting three minutes in 2005 before being chucked by eventual runner-up John Cena. He lasted five minutes a year later, but Viscera was still the picture of the toothless big man in the Rumble.

Saying that, it took eight men to eliminate Viscera in his last Rumble match under that persona in 2007, before returning for his final Rumble as Big Daddy V in 2008. Triple H ended his night, after seven minutes of a whole lot of nothing.

Nine Rumbles, four names, no success.
