It's All About The Numbers - A Royal Rumble using the best performance at each individual entry number
2025.01.18 23:09 xorangeelephant It's All About The Numbers - A Royal Rumble using the best performance at each individual entry number
For Royal Rumble season each year, I like to do an analysis of stats to get some deeper insight than what WWE provides. My previous posts are at the bottom of this one, where the first one details my formula for calculating Royal Rumble Performance.
This year, I have crunched the numbers to determine the best single performance at each entry number, weighing up both time spent in the Rumble, eliminations, and their placement.
As you might expect, there are a lot of double ups where someone has the record for best performance at multiple numbers. As we are creating the ultimate Rumble match, duplicates need to be removed and the next best performance has been inserted, unless that is also a duplicate.
In addition, I have made some minor adjustments. The main one being treating 2011 as an outlier. As it was a longer Rumble, it is easier for the late 20s to perform better. This means that Kofi Kingston's #26, Rey Mysterio's #29 and Wade Barrett's #30 from that year has been excluded.
Lastly, my formula for calculating best performance does not factor in winning the Rumble itself. A Rumble winner generally lasts a long time or has a lot of eliminations, so winners to rise to the top, but nonetheless it isnt considered. So, I have actually created two lists, the second considers a win as the best possible performance no matter what, so winning performances only compete with other wins for the top spot.
Without further ado, the list:
|| || |#|Wrestler|Year|Time|Eliminations|Placement|Substitute for?| |1|GUNTHER|2023|1:11:18|5|2nd|| |2|Rey Mysterio|2006|1:02:12|6|1st|| |3|Ric Flair|1992|1:00:02|5|1st|| |4|The Rock|1998|51:32|3|2nd|| |5|Steve Austin|1997|45:07|10|1st|| |6|Kane|2001|53:46|11|2nd|| |7|Triple H|2009|50:00|6|2nd|| |8|Randy Orton|2009|48:30|3|1st|| |9|Drew McIntyre|2023|39:10|4|9th|| |10|Seth Rollins|2019|43:00|3|1st|| |11|Sheamus|2013|37:23|5|3rd|| |12|Rob Van Dam|2003|33:00|2|5th|| |13|Mustafa Ali|2019|30:05|2|8th|The Rock - 2001| |14|Shinsuke Nakamura|2018|44:38|3|1st|| |15|Cody Rhodes|2024|43:21|4|1st|| |16|Drew McIntyre|2020|34:11|6|1st|| |17|Daniel Bryan|2021|28:50|1|7th|Sheamus - 2014| |18|Shawn Michaels|1996|26:10|8|1st|| |19|Roman Reigns|2015|27:29|6|1st|| |20|John Cena|2018|29:14|3|3rd|| |21|Edge|2020|23:43|3|3rd|| |22|Earthquake|1991|24:20|4|2nd|| |23|Lex Luger|1994|21:58|6|Tied 1st|Shawn Michaels - 2007| |24|Hulk Hogan|1991|21:00|7|1st|| |25|Mr. Perfect|2002|15:18|0|3rd|Hulk Hogan - 1990| |26|Kurt Angle|2002|16:09|2|2nd|| |27|Yokozuna|1993|14:53|7|1st|| |28|Batista|2014|14:34|4|1st|Roman Reigns - 2018| |29|Brock Lesnar|2003|9:00|4|1st|Triple H -2008| |30|The Undertaker|2007|13:15|3|1st|Cody Rhodes - 2024 |

And, as a little treat, I have also calculated teh WORST possible Royal Rumble.
Only changes here are I didnt include people who never entered the Rumble, so Skull 1998 and Randy Savage 1991 are out. Lastly, technically Shawn Michaels is the worst #1 ever in 2003, but he essentially never entered. Was attacked by Jericho and thrown out in 2 minutes. Didn't think it was in the spirit of the stats to count him.
You might expect a lot of 2020 entrants on this list, but the way the formula works helps the people who got annhilated by Brock, as they were all elminated in order. For example, Erick Rowan lasted 8 seconds coming at #3, but he was also eliminated second. The formual puts Tom Brandi's 1998 performance below that, as Brandi came in at #3, elminated in twelve seconds, but was also the first elimination.

2025.01.18 23:09 warawara06 Should I contact the PI?
I contacted a PI who I have a very close research fit with back in October, and she let me know that she still didn’t know whether she was going to take students this cycle or not. However, she encouraged me to still apply and that she would keep an eye out for my app (social psych PhD btw!)
This is a bit of a special case because she and my current PI (at my research job) know each other, and because one of my letter writers emailed her (without letting me know until after) and just mentioned that I would be a great student to take in. The PI responded positively and just encouraged me to apply again.
Now, I saw that some people have been getting official interview invites for the beginning of Feb. I took it as a soft rejection since maybe she just wasn’t able to take a student this year after all, but I just wanted to see what you all think about possibly reaching out.
Would it be worth it to contact her, or should I just keep waiting for an official email? Best of luck to everyone!!

2025.01.18 23:09 Adept-Half9357 How do I get my sister to confide in me?
I'm a teenage girl and my sister just started middle school. I know she's going through I though time with school. I went through the same a few years ago so I know how it feels. We've always been really close. Although I can tell there's things she doesn't tell me. Sometimes I encourage her to open up, but I wish she would confide in me on her own. I want to be that supportive older sister she can always talk to, any tips?

Why on earth would anyone self sacrifice? Is it for their 5 seconds of "fame" to be on camera?
The bribe challenge I understand cause it makes sense that you're worried about these stangers taking the bribe before you but the self sacrifice one just makes no sense unless you know the other people in the row or try to come up with some sort of agreement that they'll pay you something for sacrificing to yourself.

Okay, I know you’re not supposed to ask for a riot buddy but I have never even seen an in game dev. I feel like it’s a rare buddy but I’ve seen it like once in game (besides in the buddies menu). If I can’t get one that’s okay, anyway thank you for at least hopefully seeing this, have a good day
