Maaaaaaan, the '95 Rumble was a grind.

Almost hilariously, it's also one of the shortest Rumbles ever - '95 clocked in at just 38:41 in length, but it did admittedly have a popular conclusion when Shawn Michaels won the thing. Unfortunately though, much of the 30-man field was made up of scrubs that fans just didn't want to see.

Check this out for a list: The Blu Brothers, Duke Droese, The Heavenly Bodies, Kwang, babyface Doink The Clown, Well Dunn, The Bushwhackers, King Kong Bundy, Men On A Mission, Mantaur, Aldo Montoya, Dick Murdoch. That's a whopping 17 of the entrants who were lower-card cannon fodder (or ancient relics like Murdoch).

Things get worse when you add The Headshrinkers, Adam Bomb, Rick Martel, The Smoking Gunns and more to the list. This was a Royal Rumble packed with wrestlers WWF fans had been conditioned to view as second-rate, so it must be considered the most unwanted collection of entrants ever.
