10 best Royal Rumble performances ever

#3 Rey Mysterio - 2006

D
Do it for Eddie!

The biggest underdog in WWE history did what no one thought he would ever do, especially for a man his size, and won the WWE 2006 Royal Rumble. Rey entered at number #2 and not only won but broke the record for the longest time spent in Royal Rumble history, a record which still stands today. Rey eliminated 6 men along the way before last eliminating Randy Orton to take home the win.

Many fans look at this as being the best performance in Royal Rumble history, but it comes in at number #3 for me. Firstly, the win, unfortunately, is always tainted by the death of his best friend and wrestling icon Eddie Guerrero.

Another factor is that due to the performance lasting over an hour, there were several points in the match where Rey was laying in the ring pretty lifeless. This is highly understandable due to the toll a match like this would be taking on his body but there have been others to go the distance and have taken less 'breaks' than Rey.
