Ranking The Worst Performer In Every WWE Royal Rumble Match
23. 2005 - Simon Dean
Lasted 0:20.
Several years after the man behind the gimmicks reached his peak as a member of the bWo in Extreme Championship Wrestling, the real-life Mike Bucci attempted to make it in WWE as fitness guru Simon Dean. Your writer, while never a user of the Simon System, was still a firm believer in Dean. He had a decent enough look, could wrestle the in-house WWE style of 2005, and wasn't too shabby when it come to talking the talk.
Vince McMahon couldn't have cared less mind, and thus all hopes of Simon Dean being successful in McMahonland were squandered.
He lasted just 20 seconds in the 2005 Royal Rumble match, his first go-around at the 30-man scrap. An emphatic Shawn Michaels clothesline ruined his chances, leaving Dean with a worse Royal Rumble performance than the slew of other hopeless midcarders in the match - including Jonathan bloody Coachman.
