5 WWE Superstars who lasted an hour in the Royal Rumble

Rey Mysterio – 1:02:12 (2006)

Rey Mysterio defied the odds to become the Royal Rumble Winner in 2006.

The 2006 Royal Rumble was a memorable one for lots of reasons, not the least of which was Triple H and Rey Mysterio going from the first two slots all the way to the last three men standing. Both men lasted an hour, but Mysterio managed to outlast Triple H for the win and the record.

The victory came just a couple months after the death of fellow Mexican superstar Eddie Guerrero, which was likely a factor in Mysterio being chosen as winner. He later went on to win his first of two world championships in WWE.
