10 best Royal Rumble performances ever

#4 Kane - 2001

Wouldn't accept Drew Carey's money

Roman Reigns may have broken Kane's elimination record 13 years later, but the Big 'Red Machines' performance is still far superior. Kane eliminated his 11 superstars with far more brute force than Roman and even provided some fun comedic moments with surprise entries Drew Carey and The Honky Tonk Man.

Kane entered at number #5 and lasted just over 53 minutes before being the last man eliminated by winner Stone Cold Steve Austin. Although Austin provided a very popular victory, some were disappointed that Kane came up short as his performance had been arguably the best Rumble performance ever by that point, and the best Rumble performance ever by someone who didn't go on to win.
