Royal Rumble 2018: Ranking all number 1 entrants (Part 2)

#18 Stinking up The Joint!

Rikishi, Royal Rumble 2002 (Duration: 13:39, Elimination Order: 6, No. of Eliminations: 1)

In 2000, at the height of his popularity, Rikishi had a decent showing in the Royal Rumble, including eliminating his former partners of Too Cool. An ill-advised heel turn later and in 2002 Rikishi was pretty much cannon fodder, winding down his career.

Hence, one was quite aware that his presence at number one was a mere trick to warm up the crowd before the big stars infiltrated the match. Rikishi managed the one elimination of the Big Boss Man, before being easily tossed out by a vicious Undertaker.

Nothing more than a way to let Undertaker rampage through the field, until he was forced to put over Maven in a shocking elimination. This would be Rikishi's last Rumble appearance and show that the stink face inventor, was pretty much done.

Nothing terrible, but nothing great either. A typical middling entry, in a lengthy list of survivors.
