WWE: 30 Superstars To Create Greatest Royal Rumble of All Time

30. Shawn Michaels

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W_dEmi_wEo Michaels was the first man to win from the number one spot in 1995, and also won in 1996 to make him the second person to achieve back-to-back victories in the Rumble. Although Michaels' start-to-finish victory doesn't look quite as impressive these days considering he was only in the ring for 38 minutes, he further cemented his legacy 12 months later with another winning performance. Holding the current total elimination record at 39, there is no doubt that the Heartbreak Kid is one of the names synonymous with the Rumble match.

29. Rey Mysterio

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0jknoV8hUA 10 years ago you would never think it possible, but the tiny luchador lasted a record-breaking 62 minutes in 2006 to be victorious in a tribute to his late great friend Eddie Guerrero, eliminating main eventers and former Evolution buddies Triple H and Randy Orton in the final three. Rey's speed and athletic ability has been paramount to his survival - recovering from seemingly impossible predicaments. The "ultimate underdog" also lasted 49 minutes when he opened alongside John Morrison in 2009 and is so far the only man under 200lbs and only masked man to win the Rumble.
