5 times the Royal Rumble rules made no sense

#2 Royal Rumble 1993 – Giant Gonzalez eliminates The Undertaker

The late Giant Gonzalez was considered a giant flop in WWE.

Now, if Shawn Michaels was allowed to win the Royal Rumble in 1996, because the rule is, you must be eliminated by someone in the match, then why was the Undertaker eliminated by the Giant Gonzalez who wasn’t even entered into the match?

This was Giant Gonzalez’s WWE debut, during a time when The Undertaker was solely programmed with huge giants, such as Giant Gonzalez, Kamala, Yokozuna, King Kong Bundy and others.

Gonzalez attacked Undertaker and chopped him over the top rope. It was acknowledged as an elimination, and Undertaker walked to the back as soon as he recovered from the attack.

Undertaker and Gonzalez went on to work an awful program throughout 1993, culminating at SummerSlam. Gonzalez was gone shortly after.
