#1 Jerry Lawler(again)
Six days before the 2006 Royal Rumble, Jonathan Coachman faced broadcast partner Jerry “The King” Lawler in a qualifying match to determine which of them would take part in that year’s Rumble.
Just when it looked like Lawler would get the win, five male cheerleaders made their first appearance on WWE television (yep, this was The Spirit Squad’s debut!) and provided a distraction, allowing “The Coach” to roll his opponent up for the win.
As for the Rumble match, won by entrant #2 Rey Mysterio, Coachman entered at #7 and only lasted 30 seconds before he was eliminated by Big Show.
