9 Obscure WWE Royal Rumble Statistics
2. Most Names/Gimmicks Used In Rumbles
The Godfather (5)
The Godfather appeared in eight different Rumble matches from 1993 to 2013. Across those eight Rumbles, he appeared under five different aliases - first as Papa Shango in 1993, then as Kama in 1996, then he joined the Nation of Domination and added the surname "Mustafa" to enter the 1998 Rumble, then finally he appeared in his most famous gimmick, The Godfather, in every subsequent Rumble. That is, except in 2001, when he entered as his Right To Censor character, The Goodfather.
But no matter what he was called in those eight Rumbles, he only lasted a grand total of 35 minutes, 41 seconds and produced a measly one elimination, aligning with Diesel to eliminate Duke "The Dumpster" Droese from 1996's Rumble. So even though he did eliminate somebody, it was only with the help of somebody else.
Because of this, The Godfather is among the dishonorable group of wrestlers who have entered the most Rumbles but eliminated the fewest combatants. Also in this category is R-Truth, who has only eliminated two people in eight appearances, and The Miz, who has eliminated just 3 people in 11 appearances.
We'll get to a couple more of those later...
