5 wrestlers you didn't know participated in the Royal Rumble match

#3 Dory Funk Jr. (1996)

The legendary Funk family with "The Mouth Of The South" Jimmy Hart...

Legendary professional wrestler and trainer Dory Funk, Jr. had a short stint in the WWE with his brother Terry Funk during WrestleMania 2 in 1986. Shortly after Mania, both brothers would depart the WWE, but the older brother would make a surprise return in 1996.

Dory would be the eighth entrant in the 1996 Royal Rumble at the tender age of 55. There is definitely something in the Funk's blood to be able to wrestle for so long at an advanced age.

Funk didn't do too much in this Royal Rumble. He survived for ten minutes without eliminating anyone before Savio Vega threw him over the top rope to take him out of the match.
