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

#2 The Sandman (2007)

The usher on the right was probably not expecting a shower of beer from The Sandman...

One of the most iconic wrestlers from ECW is The Sandman, and during the reboot of the brand by the WWE in 2007, he would make his one and only Royal Rumble appearance.

Unfortunately for Sandman, his trademark entrance was longer than the time he lasted in the Royal Rumble. After hitting a couple of wrestlers with his kendo stick, King Booker would block the attack and toss him out of the ring within 13 seconds.

Though his WWE tenure did not have any accolades, he made his mark in ECW where he was a five-time world heavyweight champion for the company.
