#4. Yokozuna won the 1993 Rumble

Looking at Yokozuna's size, it goes without saying he got a gigantic push from the beginning of his career. Royal Rumble 1993 was the first of the two times he entered the 30-man match.

The Samoan Giant had a spectacular match with one of the silliest finishes of the Rumble match. Randy Savage attempted to pin The Mighty in the battle royal, which was of no worth.

After regaining consciousness, Yokozuna pushed The Macho Man into oblivion and won his debut Rumble. He also became the first Rumble winner to challenge for the world title at WrestleMania, which is now an annual tradition.


#3. Ric Flair contested his first Royal Rumble in 1992 and won it

The 1992 Royal Rumble is the first of two instances when the WWE World Championship was to be awarded to the winner. It was the first time bonafide wrestling icon Ric Flair was entering the Rumble.

Flair entered at #3 in what is arguably the best Rumble in history. He ultimately won the contest by last eliminating Sid Justice. In his pursuit of victory, Flair spent 60 minutes and 2 seconds in the Rumble, a record back then.
