Mil Mascaras is a WWE Hall Of Famer and one of the most popular wrestlers of the '70s. However, to a lot of WWE fans, he is not remembered for his wrestling but for his Royal Rumble botch that happened in 1997.

The event happened near his hometown Mexico, and this is why the WWE was able to convince him to wrestle in the match. However, what he did during the match wasn't so smart. He came to the match and eliminated some wrestlers before he got eliminated from the Rumble, but there's a twist.

A former WWE writer just went after JBL for his comments HERE

Nobody eliminated him from the match, but he himself did it. But why?

According to some rumors, he only agreed to come to the event if nobody would eliminate him from the match. Seeing his popularity that time, the WWE accepted his conditions.

After being in the match for some time, Mascaras eliminated himself by jumping from the top rope. Everyone was confused with his actions, and then the commentary team covered it by saying that Mascaras didn’t know the rules of the Royal Rumble.
