10 Wrestlers Who Spent The Longest Time In WWE Royal Rumbles (Without Eliminating Anyone)
8. Mike Knox (2009) - 32:42
It speaks to Mike Knox's WWE career that his most memorable moment was being eliminated in under a minute at Survivor Series 2006. His record at another Big Four Pay-Per-View is equally dubious, as he failed to eliminate anybody in his one and only Rumble appearance.
Knox entered the 2009 Rumble at number 12 and was definitely thinking about eliminating the likes of William Regal, Triple H, and the returning Jim Duggan. This was a one-off return, by the way; not even WWE were mad enough to hire Jim Duggan on a full-time basis in 2009.
Knox lasted 32 minutes and 42 seconds before he fell victim to a rampaging Big Show, who tied Triple H for most eliminations in this match with six. Show actually got a twofer here, dumping both Knox and Rey Mysterio out of the ring at the same time. This is literally the most exciting thing that anyone can say about Knox's time spent in the match, because he literally did nothing.
Mike stuck around in WWE for over a year after the Rumble, eventually leaving the company in April 2010.
