#2 - Jamie Noble

The 2008 Royal Rumble will forever be remembered for John Cena's return to the ring and Triple H's reaction to the Cenation leader's music. Arguably one of the best rumbles ever, saw the likes of Jamie Noble, Hornswoggle, Chuck Palumbo, and others take part.

Noble was involved in a singles match earlier in the pay-per-view but made his way to the ring all taped up around his waist and went after Chuck Palumbo. He lasted just 30 seconds in the ring before he was eliminated.

#1 - Gillberg

With Goldberg's popularity in WCW increasing, WWE (then WWF) introduced Gillberg. Instead of him being direct competition to his rival, this was a means of the company poking fun at him.

In the 1999 Royal Rumble, Gillberg made his way to the ring as the #6 entrant. Even before he could finish his classic entrance, Edge pushed him over the top rope and ended his time in the match. Gillberg lasted just 6 seconds in a match that saw Vince McMahon claim victory.
