Ranking The Worst Performer In Every WWE Royal Rumble Match

26. 2002 - Faarooq

Lasted 0:36.

He's back!

Faarooq, despite being a major player in early-'90s World Championship Wrestling, was reduced to Royal Rumble filler even when half of a successful Attitude Era tag team. He doubled his 2000 performance two years later when he lasted 36 seconds in the 2002 bout, this time being eliminated by Triple H in what was the first match in almost a year for the 'Game'.

It shouldn't be a surprise to hear that, had it not been for Tazz's ruinous stint, then Faarooq was also in the running for the 2001 Royal Rumble's worst performer as well. He went 58 seconds in that bout, being amongst the Goodfathers and Scotty 2 Hottys of the field. They lasted 13 and 47 seconds, respectively.

The first African-American WCW World Heavyweight Champion can't even go a full minute in the biggest match of the year. Christ man, how do they do it?
