Lasted 0:02.

The original Royal Rumble dud, the two-second record performance from the Warlord set in 1989's Rumble lived on for two decades, cropping back up in historical footage every January as WWE showcased the dos and don'ts when it comes to competing in the thirty-person fray.

Entering as the match's 21st entrant, the six-foot-five goober was instantly clotheslined back out of the ring by future two-time Rumble victor Hulk Hogan in what would soon become one of the match's most GIFed moments.

An iconic performance from an often-overlooked Royal Rumble, it's genuinely worth the rewatch alone, if not for Gorilla Monsoon's bewildered reaction at his short stint.
