Bushwhacker Luke is the owner of the most famous - or infamous? - elimination in the history of the Royal Rumble.

Back in 1991, Luke charged his way down for his big Rumble moment, only to be marched across the ring by Earthquake, who promptly dumped the former Sheepherder over the top. Even more memorable, though, is the fact that Luke didn't once break his natural, arms-a-swaying stride from the moment he made his way down the ramp, to the moment he made his way up it.

A lack of preparation or maybe too much eagerness could be used as an explanation for Luke's four-second appearance at the '91 Rumble.

When he was afforded his next chance in the Royal Rumble match four years later, you'd expect Luke to have learned his lesson. Clearly not, for this time he'd be tossed over the top rope by Shawn Michaels after just 19 seconds - meaning this Buswhacker's final two Rumble match outings amassed to a combined 24 seconds.

Luke did fare better in his only other entry into the Royal Rumble bout, although his three-minute appearance in 1989 didn't exactly set the world on fire.
