12 Wrestlers Who Had ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS Being In WWE Royal Rumble
9. Carlos Colón (1993)
Infamously called a "youngster" by Gorilla Monsoon in what might have been a mis-speak but could well have been a case of Monsoon and others within the WWE bubble not wanting to put over an unfamiliar face without a caveat or two, the 44-year-old Carlos Colón looked older than his years when locking up with the crop of newcomers in the 1993 Royal Rumble.
A truly bizarre sight as he hit the ring, Colón worked his one and only WWF match (not counting a small handful of World Wide Wrestling Federation appearances for Vince McMahon Sr) at the pay-per-view, getting in there with the likes of
"A lot of fire" was the weapon Monsoon said he brought to the table for the match, and at least he wasn't misinformed there - Colón was working violent and bloody brawls with the likes of Abdullah The Butcher in his native Puerto Rico around the time, so the Rumble was a cake-walk for the veteran. It speaks to the mentality of the era too; increasingly in the 2020s, 40s is wrestler prime, and the age of more and more World Champions across the major promotions.
