6. Worst Median Time In More Than Two Rumbles

Zack Ryder (1:33)

There are three superstars with a worse median Rumble time than Zack Ryder, those being Simon Dean (33 seconds), Chyna (37 seconds), and Bull Buchanan (1:16). But those three only entered two Rumbles in their respective careers, so it seems less fair to judge them than it does Zack Ryder, who has entered a total of four Rumbles in his career and still yields one of the worst median Rumble times in history.

In four appearances, Long Island Iced-Z only exceeded one minute once, going 2:34 in 2013. His other performances saw him casually disposed in 32 seconds in 2010, in 43 seconds the following year, and in 34 seconds in 2015. What makes all of this worse is that they didn't even include him in the 2012 Rumble, even though he was still very much over with the crowd at the time and even though he'd just held the US Title. No, WWE decided it would be better if he were a pawn in an angle between John Cena and Kane instead.

If he'd been in that match, perhaps he wouldn't have such a dismal median time. But I guess we'll never know...boo hoo hoo, you know it.
