Michael Cole mentioned that there had only been four men in history who had won the Royal Rumble from the #1 and #2 spots - "among them Mysterio, Michaels and Vince McMahon...". If you are wondering why Cole failed to mention the fourth, it wasn't due to a slip of memory but because of the fact that the other person on that list is Chris Benoit.
