Then: Token celebrity signing Drew Carey blatantly had no clue what the hell was going on at the 2001 Royal Rumble. Still, he found time to offer Kane money in exchange for mercy before eliminating himself by leaping over the top rope.

Now: Carey is regarded as one of the most curious Rumble entrants in history by wrestling fans, but he's a mainstream star outside the industry. He's best-known for hosting The Price Is Right on CBS, and probably barely recalls his fling with pro wrestling.

That's for the best.
