#4 Triple H (2006) - 3rd - 6 Eliminations
The 2006 Royal Rumble was an emotional affair, it took place a mere two months after the passing of WWE Superstar Eddie Guerrero, and the first two entrants were Triple H and Eddie Guerrero's friend Rey Mysterio. Rey would dedicate his performance in the Rumble to his deceased friend entering the arena in a low rider, paying homage to the entrance that Guerrero used during his career in the WWE.

While Rey would go on to win the match, Triple H would last until the final three with Rey and entry 30 Randy Orton. While Rey's victory was emotional, it is also important to note the extreme workmanlike effort Triple H pulled during his stint in the 2006 Royal Rumble as well.
Despite not winning the match, Triple H clocked up over an hour in the ring and was within a minute and a half of recording the longest time spent in a single Royal Rumble. On his way to his 3rd place finish, Triple H eliminated Simon Dean, Ric Flair, and the Big Show.
