Royal Rumble 2018: Ranking all number 1 entrants part 1

#25 Zero people Crushed!

Crush, Royal Rumble 1997 (Duration: 06:17, Order Eliminated: 3, Number of Eliminations: 0)

He might seem intimidating, but like D'Lo Brown; Crush had a pretty much uneventful Royal Rumble from the starting position. Of all people to be eliminated by, Crush found himself eliminated at the hands of one of the Goodwin Brothers.

Despite this being the year where WWE would finally find a turnaround on it's way to the infamous Attitude Era, the 'E was pretty much in doldrums at this stage. After all, as Harvey Dent puts it; "The day is just darkest before the dawn.".

In fact, four of the thirty participants in the Rumble were from AAA, the Mexican Wrestling company then affiliated with the WWE. Eventually like Crush's tenure in the ring, the result of the match didn't matter as eventual winner Stone Cold Steve Austin didn't get his deserved (that's debatable according to Bret Hart) championship match.

So then what makes Crush the ideal candidate?

Well, he just about sneaks past D'Lo Brown and got eliminated third during the match. For that, he's here and sorry for the rest of this rant.
