15 Fascinating WWE Royal Rumble Facts You Need To Know

7. Three Men Have Entered Number 30 One Year, Then Number One The Following Year

From the 'what are the odds?' file, on three occasions a wrestler with tremendous luck has developed the worst luck within 365 days. The Million Dollar Man was the first after drawing (well, buying, per the storyline) number 30 in 1989. A point was made by WWF to highlight his rotten luck a year later when he pulled number one in 1990. Years later in 2001, Rikishi drew the thirtieth slot, and wound up entering first for the 2002 edition, serving as the first combatant for a returning Goldust. Finally, in 2007, The Undertaker won the match from the final position after an epic showdown with Shawn Michaels. They recreated that clash in 2008, after Undertaker entered first and Michaels followed second.
