Royal Rumble 1999: Chyna made some of that history WWE are very keen on these days when she became the first woman to ever enter the Royal Rumble match. She was the number 30 entrant (which she'd been bestowed on Raw after winning the Corporate Rumble) and lasted a bank-busting 35 seconds before being eliminated by Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Where Are They Now: Sadly after years of struggling with substance abuse issues and a well-documented venture into pornography, Chyna was found dead at her home in Redondo Beach, California in 2016. She was 46 years old.

29. Owen Hart

Royal Rumble 1999: Bit of a placeholder spot for Hart, this, as he was mere days away from winning the Tag Team Championship with Jeff Jarrett. All this, in the midst of Hart's Blue Blazer angle where both he and Double J were determined to prove that they weren't the man under the mask. Just over 6 minutes here and in the "final four" before Vince returned.

Where Are They Now: Arguably one of the most infamous and high-profile wrestling deaths ever, Owen Hart was tragically killed at the 1999 Over The Edge PPV. Scheduled for a match against The Godfather, Hart fell some 78ft to his death while being lowered into the ring from the rafters. He was just 34 years old.
