So I stuck these in a word document to fill in. And now realise having whole years of not watching WWE, and even some years watching but missing events clearly leaves huge gaps in knowledge lol. I can't even remember seeing any of Kharma's WWE run ffs lol.

See the first one out, is that 1st entrant or first elimination?

If its 1st entrant im going with Ziggler or Miz

First man eliminated.

The answers...:

1- How is the oldest ever entrant to compete?
Jimmy Snuka - he was 65 in 2008 as a surprise entrant. As a slight aside, he also competed in the 1991 Rumble - and was the oldest in that one too. Jerry Lawler is 68 now, last competed in the Rumble in 2012, when he was in his late 50s. Bob Backlund is also 68, but hasn't been in the Rumble in a long time!

2- What record is held jointly by Albert / Tensai, and Jack Swagger?
Most Rumble appearances without recording a single elimination. Both have been in 6 Rumbles.

3- One guy has been the first man out, twice. Who?
Santino Marella, in 2008 and 2013.

4- 3 Royal Rumble winners, Lex Luger, Jim Duggan and Big John Studd hold what distinction?
The only Rumble winners never to win a WWE World Championship.

5- One man won the Rumble by recording one elimination. Who?
Vince McMahon in 1999.

6- The number 28 has won twice. What's unusual about this?
Points to everyone who said Batista!

7- Who is the only guy to be the Iron Man two years running (and if you want to show off, name the years)?
A few have been the Iron Man twice (Chris Jericho in 2003 and 2017, CM Punk in 2011 and 2014, and Austin and Triple H), but the only guy to do it in back-to-back Rumbles is Chris Benoit in 2004 and 2005.

8- 3 women have entered the men's rumble - name them...
Chyna, Beth Phoenix, Kharma.

9- Who's got the record for winning the Rumble in the shortest amount of in-riing time?

As a slight aside, and another utterly pointless fact - the Rumble was her only official WWE match. all her other appearances were her interfering and kicking the hell out of the divas.

That's quite a good Rumble fact. Does Kong still wrestle? Having her second ever WWE match this Sunday, would increase the potency of it. Only 2 matches were the men's and women's Royal Rumble

They will probably want to get Beth to appear though so they can say she's competed in both the male and female Rumble. She's a much bigger part of the "WWE family" Guaranteed they want to be able to say that at some point. WWE has the ability that sports don't have to actually write their own history into lore. And it sounds perfect for that.

...Get the predictions game up quick Bosch lol

Kong does still wrestle, she went back to TNA for a while (left after falling out with Matt Hardy's wife), she does the indies now. She'd be great to be back in WWE for a short spell!
