#7 Santino Marella creates an unwanted record (WWE Royal Rumble 2009)
It’s hard to settle one specific single blink-and-you-will-miss-it elimination in Royal Rumble history. You could pick Edge shrugging off the WCW parody character Gillberg over the rope in 1999. That same year saw Mr. McMahon and the Stooges playing up a lot of tomfooleries to keep 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin out of contention.
What about in Rumble 2013 when The Godfather walked down to the ring with several ladies in a gaudy fur coat dressed for the part of pro wrestling pimp, only to dropkicked out of the match in seconds?
They have all been a part of the pageantry of the January classic but not much of the combat. One particular wrestler who became synonymous with shenanigans in the ring or backstage secured a lightning-fast elimination in the Royal Rumble.
With a fresh unibrow, Santino Marella telegraphed, holding the record for the shortest time in the Rumble for weeks, but when it happened, it made for quite the moment in 2009.
Could you even begin to take in the process of training hard, traveling hundreds of miles, getting your gear all set, and get your adrenaline pumping only be in a match for barely a second?
