12 worst Royal Rumble competitors

#1 Simon Dean

Apparently, one of the side effects of the Simon System is terrible Royal Rumble performance...

TOTAL ENTRIES: 2

TOTAL ELIMINATIONS: 0

CUMULATIVE TIME: 1:05

BEST TIME: 0:45

WORST TIME: 0:20

Like I said, I really, really tried not to put people who had only been in two Rumbles on this list. But...just look at this.

Now, according to my numbers, there are only two competitors to enter the Rumble more than once and never once crack a minute. Those two wrestlers are Chyna and Simon Dean. The difference, of course, is that Chyna managed to eliminate three wrestlers in her two Royal Rumble appearances - Owen Hart, Chris Jericho, and even the World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry.

But Simon? Simon was just pathetic. Twice.

When he entered his first Rumble in 2005, he spent the entire 90 seconds between his entry and the next doing callisthenics at ringside. When the next entrant (Shawn Michaels) came in, he stared Simon down, threw him in the ring, and kicked him right out of it in just 20 seconds. So, he took on a new approach in 2006 - he would ride to the ring on his Segway to conserve energy. To his credit, it did more-than-double his performance, but it didn't help him much, as Triple H and Rey Mysterio teamed up on and eliminated the obnoxious fitness guru in just 45 seconds.

I understand the need for comedy in the Royal Rumble. I mean, it can't be serious the whole time. But if you're going to enter the Royal Rumble match, you should treat it like what it is - an opportunity at a WrestleMania main event. Simon Dean clearly cared more about getting people on board with his "Simon System" than he did about main eventing WrestleMania.

For that reason, along with his miserable statistics, he is the worst Royal Rumble competitor of all time.
