9 Wrestlers Who Didn't Learn From WWE Royal Rumble Mistakes
5. Test - The Big Show Proves Too Much Of A 'Test'
You'll have to put your trust in that being Test behind Big Show's boot on the left image there.
With WWE still clearly thinking that there could be big things in the future of Andrew 'Test' Martin at that point in time, the 2000 Royal Rumble saw the former European Champion and Intercontinental Champion given an impressive 26-minute spot in the Rumble match.
That impressive run was brought to an immediate halt when the Big Show entered the bout at #26, with Show instantly booting out both Test and Gangrel. So quick did this happen, there's not even a decent image or video angle of Test's 2000 elimination.
As an indicator of how his WWE stock had dropped some, the 2001 Royal Rumble didn't see Test fare quite so well. Entering at #22, Test was afforded only two minutes in '01 - before Big Show easily dispatched of him over the top rope.
During that period between 2000 and 2001, Test had gone from still having a semblance of that main event potential we saw a glimmer of in 1999, to having massively fallen down the WWE food chain.
