The 2001 Royal Rumble may be the best of all time. It had a record-setting winner with Stone Cold winning his third Rumble, and featured some of the very best ever to compete in WWE. Plus it had the first celebrity entrant ever in Drew Carey.

Even though he did not win the event, we can not overlook the performance Kane had that year.

Is this man the funniest man in wrestling?

He spent over 56 minutes in the match after he entered at number 6. From the time he stepped through the ropes he was a one-man wrecking crew. He set a then-record 11 eliminations. He might have had one more if Carey did not eliminate himself. He was a chokeslam away from doing so until his Wrestlemania 17 opponent Raven made the save. Still, he eliminated every entry from 7-13, including The Rock.

He made it down to the final two. After a failed chair shot, he was nailed with a stunner and sent over the top rope giving Austin that third Rumble win.
