Royal Rumble
–
The Royal Rumble is a professional wrestling pay-per-view event, produced every January by professional wrestling promotion WWE. The event is named after the Royal Rumble match, a Battle royal match whose participants enter at timed intervals, the Royal Rumble is considered one of WWEs most popular pay-per-view events. The Royal Rumble is a pay-per-view consisting of the Royal Rumble match, title matches, the first Royal Rumble took place on January 24,1988 and was broadcast live on the USA Network. The following year, the event started to be broadcast on pay-per-view and thus one of WWEs big four pay-per-views, along with WrestleMania, Survivor Series. The Royal Rumble match is usually located at the top of the card, though there have been such as the 1988,1996,1997,1998,2006. Due to the Rumble match taking up an amount of time, the Rumble event tends to have a smaller card than most other pay-per-view events. The 2008 Royal Rumble was the first WWE pay-per-view to be available in high-definition. The Royal Rumble is based on the classic Battle Royal match, in which a number of wrestlers aim at eliminating their competitors by tossing them over the top rope, the winner of the event is the last wrestler remaining after all others have been eliminated. This lottery is usually staged right before the event begins. This format is credited to Pat Patterson, to date, only four men who have been one of the starting wrestlers have won the Royal Rumble, Shawn Michaels, Vince McMahon, Chris Benoit and Rey Mysterio. The most common number to win is number 27, One of the most infamous of these incidents occurred during the 2015 Royal Rumble match. Before the match began, Lilian Garcia explained that the entrants would enter the match every 90 seconds, rusev entered at #15 and Goldust at #16, but the two entrants were 2 minutes and 8 seconds apart from each other. The Royal Rumble match commonly involves 30 wrestlers and usually lasts an hour, with the longest match, at the 2011 event, lasting one hour. However, the first match, contested in 1988, involved only 20 men, the 2011 Royal Rumble had a 40-man field, out of whom Alberto Del Rio was victorious. Royal Rumble matches are generally stipulated to involve no disqualifications, the only exception involved Finlay entering the match before his turn to save Hornswoggle in 2008. Of course, this contradicts the 2001 Royal Rumble, when Al Snow inserted himself into the match temporarily without being disqualified, with the brand extension introduced in mid-2002, the 30 entrants from 2003 to 2006 consisted of 15 wrestlers from both the Raw and SmackDown brands. At first, the winner of the received a shot at their brands top champion. Starting in 2004, the Rumble winner had the option of challenging any brands champion, for instance, Chris Benoit switched brands after winning the 2004 Royal Rumble and won the World Heavyweight Championship. During ECWs participation, the entries for each brand were not evenly divided, the winner of the Royal Rumble match now receives a title opportunity for either SmackDowns WWE Championship or Raws WWE Universal Championship
