Royal Rumble 2018: Ranking all number 1 entrants part 1

#23 Shredded to perfection

Ax, Royal Rumble 1989 (Duration: 14:37, Order Eliminated: 4, Number of Eliminations: 0)

Ax began his uneventful Royal Rumble up against his partner Smash, pretty much a tepid contest until the real challengers could make their entrance. After trying to team up with Smash against the next few entrants, including an incensed Andre the Giant, Ax found himself eliminated at the smooth hands of Mr. Perfect.

The fact that the tag team specialist lasted longer than his partner means that he gets to feel the pleasure of being in a loftier position than most on this list. He might not have eliminated a single soul, but Ax can brag to Smash about his victory over the latter who was first to go.

Nothing much else to say about this stint, notice how this list of lower rung number one entrants isn't special? Of course, that's for a reason.
