Scotty 2 Hotty hasn't really had a whole lot of luck when it comes to the Royal Rumble. In 2001 he had the misfortune of coming out just as The Undertaker and Kane were alone in the ring, and one year later The Undertaker annihilated him after being shockingly eliminated by Maven. Heck, in 2000 he was eliminated by his Too Cool brethren Rikishi. If you got Scotty 2 Hotty in a Royal Rumble sweepstakes, you lost.

Scotty's saddest Rumble moment came in 2005, when he wasn't able to even make it into the match. Muhammad Hassan had just been eliminated by the six other men in the ring, and as Scotty danced his way down to the ring he danced directly into an onslaught by the recently eliminated Hassan. The former Scott Taylor didn't see it coming.

This would prove to be Scotty 2 Hotty's last 'appearance' in the Royal Rumble match. The unluckiest performer in Rumble history was no more.
