5 fascinating facts about Royal Rumble winners you may not know

#3 Brock Lesnar has the worst "best time" out of any Rumble winner; and the worst "worst time" is...

The Beast's Rumble longevity has been adequate at best.

While Alberto Del Rio has the lowest cumulative time in the Royal Rumble out of any winner, Brock Lesnar has the worst "best time" out of this group.

Much like Del Rio, Brock Lesnar has never reached 10 minutes in any of his three Rumble attempts. When he won in 2003, he only went 8:59. Last year, he went 4:31 before getting humiliated by Goldberg. His best time was in 2016 when he went 9:12 before being eliminated by the Wyatt Family.

As scared as I am to say anything bad about Brock Lesnar...that's pretty poor. Still, he doesn't have the worst "worst time" out of any winner. Not by a longshot. So who does?

Believe it or not, Shawn Michaels.

Yes, Shawn Michaels is one of only two Royal Rumble winners to last under 1 minute in a Rumble match. Jim Duggan went 57 seconds in 2012, but Shawn Michaels lasted a measly 12 seconds in 1990. Basically, he came into the ring and got almost immediately kicked to the curb, courtesy of The Ultimate Warrior.

Luckily for Shawn, he went the distance in 1995, so people don't often talk about that embarrassing Royal Rumble outing during his days as a "Rocker".
