15 Fascinating WWE Royal Rumble Facts You Need To Know

10. The Godfather Has Been Eliminated From Three Rumbles In Under Thirty Seconds

Making matters more interesting, the real-life Charles Wright accomplished this 'feat' in three different decades. The initial occurrence took place in 1993, when as voodoo practitioner Papa Shango, Wright entered third and was dumped out by Ric Flair in 28 seconds. Eight years later, in 2001, Wright wore the drab colors of the Right to Censor as "The Goodfather", and was slugged over the ropes by former Nation of Domination ally The Rock. Elapsed time: thirteen seconds. For the 2013 event, the long-retired Wright entered as a distinguished guest, once more swaggering down the aisle as the popular Godfather, accompanied by two sultry escorts. The nostalgic fun was short-lived when Wright was immediately dropkicked out by Dolph Ziggler after five seconds.
