5 best Royal Rumble competitors who never won

# 2 Chris Jericho

Chris Jericho's cumulative time in the Royal Rumble far exceeds anyone else's.

In the 31 year history of the Royal Rumble match, no one has spent more time in it than Chris Jericho.

Across his 10 appearances in the match, the Ayatollah of Rock-and-Rollah has lasted an astonishing 4 hours and 56 minutes total. In these 10 appearances, he has only gone under 20 minutes four times, he has only gone under 10 minutes twice, and he has exceeded a full half an hour on five separate occasions.

He has gone "coast-to-coast" (entered at #1 or #2 and made it all the way to entrant #30) twice, once in 2013 (which saw him return as a surprise entry) and again in 2017. Two of his Rumble times are in the Top 20 longest times spent in a single Rumble; his one hour and 13-second performance in 2017 comes in at #5, while his 50 minutes, 50 second run in 2016 ranks at #13. He has appeared in the Final Four on two separate occasions and even made it to the Final Two in 2012.

Aside from his penchant for longevity, Y2J has a decent elimination record as well. In total, he's eliminated 18 men, which gives him an average of 1.8 eliminations per Rumble. 2003 gave him the biggest boost to this number, as he threw out a fifth of the field (6 competitors; more than anyone else that year). The only time he entered without eliminating anyone was in 2010 when he entered at #28 went just 2:24 before being eliminated by the returning and vengeful Edge (who was the eventual winner). Even still, he just barely missed the Final Four that year.

You know what happens when you rack up numbers like that in the Royal Rumble, Jericho? Huh? You know what happens? YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!
