WWE: Ranking The Previous 12 Battle Royals In Wrestlemania History
9. WrestleMania 26 - 26 Man Battle Royal
PreShow: Yoshi Tatsu won a 26-man battle royal at 8:31 by last eliminating Zack Ryder; other participants included: Cryme Tyme, David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd, Finlay, Chavo Guerrero Jr., Mark Henry, Goldust, Santino Marella, Primo Colon, Jimmy Wang Yang, Slam Master J, the Great Khali, Caylen Croft & Trent Baretta, Tyler Reks, Chris Masters, Sho Funaki, Vance Archer, Mike Knox, Carlito, Vladimir Kozlov, William Regal, and Luke Gallows. Why isn't it ranked higher: No offense to Yoshi Tatsu, but the Battle Royal at WrestleMania was won by Yoshi Tatsu when big(ger) names like Mark Henry, Goldust, and Carlito didn't even make it to the Final 4. At least it finally proved the "anyone can win" mentality WWE likes to hammer home during events like this and the Royal Rumble. Interesting Fact: Tatsu likely won as a favor to Japanese wrestling legend Antonio Inoki, who was in town as an inductee into that year's WWE Hall of Fame. Inoki- who is followed everywhere by the Japanese press- posed for several photo congratulating Yoshi on his somewhat-surprising-victory.
