In Royal Rumble's 33 year history, only six people born outside North America have won either of the two eponymous matches - if we discount fake Japanese sumo goliath Yokozuna, who in spite of hs fervent flag-waving, was from California.

Despite the best efforts of The British Bulldog and the latter-day rise of the BritWres scene, not one of those winners hailed from the United Kingdom before Sunday. Scotland's Drew McIntyre blazes the trail for the Brits, then - though we suspect he'll be swinging the saltire and not the union jack if he succeeds in Tampa.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
