The 2014 Royal Rumble is most famously remembered for being the Royal Rumble that Daniel Bryan should've won. In an odd move that almost everyone could see was the wrong decision, Batista was brought back to the company as a babyface and was booed out of the building after winning the 2014 Royal Rumble. After losing clean to Bray Wyatt in the event's undercard, many fans expected Bryan to be a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble match.

While fans didn't get Bryan, they did get another smaller wrestler that was an equally odd decision.

El Torito, the little person wrestler that was the full-time mascot of the tag team Los Matadores, entered the Royal Rumble at number 20. Despite his size, El Torito was actually responsible for eliminating Fandango before he was tossed out by eventual runner-up Roman Reigns. Considering the spots taken up by El Torito, The Great Khali, and JBL, it's no wonder the Pittsburgh crowd was angry by the time the finish came.

The Royal Rumble has seen little people participate before, most notably Hornswoggle, but none have been stranger than the half-man, half-bull mascot that was El Torito.
