USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2004 Anyways after watching Ric Flair's incredible Rumble victory in 1992, I began to wonder who held the record for the longest Rumble duration.... this is what I came up with... *NOTE* The numbers is followed: Year (obviously), the first number is when the superstar entered. The second number is their elimination. Then the time they lasted. I included both the winners and the "Ironmen". Enjoy. 1988: Winner: Hacksaw Jim Duggan (13th) 15:20 Ironman: Bret Hart (1st)(8th) 25:44 1989: Winner: Big John Studd (27th) 13:33 Ironman: Mr. Perfect (4th)(11th) 28:25 1990: Winner: Hulk Hogan (25) 13:36 Ironman: "Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase (1st)(18th) 44:50 1991: Winner: Hulk Hogan (24th) 21:06 Ironman: "The Model" Rick Martel (6th)(25th) 52:33 1992: Winner and Ironman: Ric Flair (3rd) 1:00:10 1993: Winner: Yokozuna (27th) 15:26 Ironman: Bob Backlund (2nd)(28th) 1:01:11 1994: Winners: Bret Hart (27th) 16:28; Lex Luger (23rd) 22:22 Ironman: Bam Bam Bigelow (15)(23) 30:58 1995: Winner: Shawn Michaels (1st) 38:39 Ironmen: Shawn Michaels (1st) (Won), British Bulldog (2nd) (29th) 38:39 1996: Winner: Shawn Michaels (18th) 26:22 Ironman: Hunter Hearst Helmsley (1st)(19th) 48:00 1997: Winner and Ironman: Stone Cold Steve Austin (5th) 46:12 1998: Winner: Stone Cold Steve Austin (24th) 11:30 Ironman: The Rock (4th)(28th) 51:50 1999: Winner: Vince McMahon (2nd) 56:31 Ironmen: Stone Cold Steve Austin (1st)(29th), Vince McMahon (2nd)(Won) 56:31 2000: Winner: The Rock (24th) 15:37 Ironman: Test (10th)(17th) 26:51 2001: Winner: Stone Cold Steve Austin (27th) 15:38 Ironman: Kane (6th)(29th) 54:49 2002: Winner: Triple H (22nd) 26:37 Ironman: Stone Cold Steve Austin (19)(27) 28:54 2003: Winner: Brock Lesnar (29th) 9:17 Ironman: Chris Jericho (2nd)(14th) 38:53 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Coffey Report post Posted January 14, 2004 So Bob Backlund has the record for longest in-ring time during a Royal Rumble? That's neat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2004 And Luger lasted longer than Bret in their co-win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted January 14, 2004 Well....... Backlund was KOed on the floor after the Berzerker slammed him. So he wasn't in the ring for the entire time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted January 14, 2004 Well....... Backlund was KOed on the floor after the Berzerker slammed him. So he wasn't in the ring for the entire time. But it was in between the the Gonzalez 3 minute beat down, which resulted in Demento and Rotundo to stand outside the ring ding nothing as well. Austin/McMahons 56:00 in 1999 shouldnt count either.

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted January 14, 2004 Well....... Backlund was KOed on the floor after the Berzerker slammed him. So he wasn't in the ring for the entire time. Neither was Flair in the 1992 Rumble - he and Hogan had a little exchange on the floor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Stunt Granny Report post Posted January 15, 2004 You should find out who the shortest ones are. Tazz lasted about 15 seconds in 2001. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deancoles 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2004 Warlord in 89 is the shortest for time in the ring.Owen Hart didn't last very long in 95 but Bret Hart was attacking him for about 2 minutes before he got into the ring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2004 (edited) ^ I'd go with Bushwhacker Luke for the shortest. Edited January 15, 2004 by Deon Dark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2004 Mo ran to the ring, across the ring, and out of the ring before you could even tell who was coming out. I can't see anyone lasting shorter than that. Certainly Luke lasted longer, but I haven't seen 1989 in awhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2004 According to prowrestlinghistory.com both Mo & Warlord lasted 3 seconds, so we have to go to tenths of a second at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly Luke lasted longer, but I haven't seen 1989 in awhile. Well, Warlord just stepped through the ropes and got clotheslined out over the top. I'd think that his must have taken a shorter time due to the lack of distance he had to travel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slickster 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2004 To settle this, I'll go get my copy of RR89 and time Warlord's time in the Rumble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slickster 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2004 Well, according to my stopwatch: Warlord was in the 1989 Royal Rumble match for exactly 2.08 seconds. I counted from the moment when both of his feet touched the inside of the ring to the time when both feet touched the floor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2004 The record for shortest Rumble is Godfather in 2002.... he didn't last a single second. Then next is Mo in 1995 at 9 seconds, Shawn Michaels in 1990 at 18 seconds and Tazz in 2001 at 19 seconds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HollywoodSpikeJenkins 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2004 What about Gillberg? He did his entrance, came in, posed, and was thrown over by Edge. and Hurricane? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When the buzzer goes off or when they enter the ring? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then next is Mo in 1995 at 9 seconds, Shawn Michaels in 1990 at 18 seconds and Tazz in 2001 at 19 seconds. Actually Tazz lasted all of 9 seconds, Mo lasted about 2 seconds in 1995 (Lawler commentary is great) "Mo was on a Mission alright, he just broke Lukes record! What did he last, one second!?!" Michaels was 12 seconds in 1990, and Luke was 4.8 seconds in 1991. (I have all the PPV's and timed them) So the top Three are in order, Warlord, Mo, Luke. Lawler is close to Lukes time for 1997, as he jumped in, got punched over in about 4-5 seconds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted January 15, 2004 What about Gillberg? He did his entrance, came in, posed, and was thrown over by Edge. and Hurricane? Between 6 and 7 seconds tops. He came in, posed on the ropes and Edge casually pushes him over like you said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slickster 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2004 This site: http://members.fortunecity.com/1sgtslaught...pv/rr/rr02.html lists Godfather's time at 0:00, but that's a clreical error.
