text: Summary[edit]

text: On Day 1, Erica, Hamza, Kaela, William, Alejandra, Andrew, Rozina, Johnny, Olivia, Jesse, Paras, Ryan, Maddy and Derek entered the House. A twist shortly after forced Andrew to select seven HouseGuests to live in Hell for the first week; only these HouseGuests could compete for Head of Household and be nominated for eviction, whilst those living in Heaven were immune. He chose to send Alejandra, Johnny, Kaela, Maddy, Paras, Rozina, and Will to Hell, where they competed in the Feel the Burn Head of Household competition. In this endurance competition, HouseGuests had to hold on to rocks connected to an adjacent wall which tilted forwards and backwards at several intervals during the game. If a HouseGuest fell off the wall, they were eliminated. Johnny was the last HouseGuest standing, and he therefore became the new Head of Household. On Day 2, Johnny nominated Alejandra and Rozina for eviction. Derek, Paras, Kaela, and Jesse formed the "Real Deal" alliance. On Day 3, Johnny, Alejandra, and Rozina, as well as Hamza, Olivia, and Jesse, squirmed in the Game of Inches Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must crawl along their lane, take an egg and carry it along their lane. At the five inch mark, they may no longer use their hands to transport the egg. They must move their egg into one of the five holes at the end of their lane. Each HouseGuest also has one golden egg. If a HouseGuest lands a golden egg, they will freeze their opponents for thirty seconds. The first HouseGuest to land an egg in all five holes will win the Power of Veto. Johnny was the winner. On Day 4, Johnny decided not to use the Power of Veto. On Day 6, Rozina was evicted by a 11-0 vote. Immediately following Rozina's eviction, Arisa revealed the Gate Crashers twist to the HouseGuests. Merron and Veronica were revealed to have won Canada's vote and entered the House. They were given immunity for one week.

text: Following Rozina's eviction and Merron and Veronica's entrance, the HouseGuests splashed in the Right in the Kisser Head of Household competition. Before the competition, HouseGuests filled out a first impressions survey of each other in private. The HouseGuests will be read a question, and the first HouseGuest to buzz in will head to the bar with their martini glass. They must then throw their drink in the face of the HouseGuest they believe is the correct answer. If they are correct, they can choose a HouseGuest to eliminate. If they are incorrect, they will be eliminated. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Ryan was the winner. As Head of Household, Ryan was required to name four Have-Nots for the week. Derek, Erica, Hamza, and Jesse became Have-Nots for the week. On Day 7, Ryan nominated Andrew and Hamza for eviction, with the plan to backdoor Olivia. On Day 8, Ryan, Andrew, and Hamza, alongside Johnny, Jesse, and Erica, scrapped in the Tomb Raider Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must first untie themselves from their pole. Afterwards, they must use their bow and arrow to knock off their first puzzle piece. They must then climb over the wall and search the jungle for the rest of their pieces. They can bring only one puzzle piece back at a time. They must then use their pieces to assemble their pyramid puzzle. When completed, the puzzle will reveal a code to unlock the Tomb of the Mother of Death. The first HouseGuest to unlock the tom will win the Power of Veto, as well as an advanced screening of "Tomb Raider" and $5000. Erica was the winner. On Day 10, Erica decided not to use the Power of Veto. The House began to divide based on where everyone was sleeping, with the Red Room of Alejandra, Derek, Erica, Jesse, Johnny, Kaela, Merron and Olivia against the White Room of Andrew, Hamza, Maddy, Paras, Ryan, Veronica, and Will. At the live eviction, Arisa revealed the Gate Crashers Merron and Veronica were ineligible to vote. On Day 13, Andrew was evicted by a 10-0 vote.

text: Following Andrew's eviction, the HouseGuests paired up for the Handle with Care Head of Household competition. Before the competition, HouseGuests had a random draw to determine their partner. As Erica was the odd one out, she earned immunity for the week. In this competition, HouseGuests must work together, while in their individual crates, to transport fruit from one end of the yard to the other. One HouseGuest must pass the fruit to their partner halfway, who will then deposit the fruit into their tray. The first team to transfer all of their fruit will win the competition, and they will decide who between them will be the new Head of Household. Hamza and Veronica were the winners, and Hamza became the new Head of Household. The showmances Derek/Kaela, Will/Veronica, Jesse/Paras, and Erica/Merron tested how well they knew each other in the Will You Showmance? Have-Not competition. In this competition, one person of each pair would answer a question in private. Their partner would then be asked the same question, trying to match their partner's answer. If they match, they will earn one point. The two pairs with the least points will be Have-Nots for the week. Derek, Erica, Kaela, and Merron became Have-Nots for the week. On Day 14, Hamza nominated Jesse and Olivia for eviction. On Day 15, Hamza, Jesse, and Olivia, joined by Derek, Ryan, and Erica, freshened up in the Fresh off the Block Power of Veto competition, sponsored by Wendy's. In this competition, HouseGuests must walk across their balance beams to their freeze. They must then break open an ice block from the freezer to retrieve a ball. They must then walk back across their balance beam to their garden. They can then attempt to knock down one of their targets. After they knock down four targets, they can attempt to search their garden for a key which unlocks a larger tool to help break the ice. The first HouseGuest to knock down all of their targets will win the Power of Veto, as well as $5000. Hamza was the winner. On Day 17, Hamza decided not to use the Power of Veto. On Day 18, the HouseGuests were given the task to clean the House, but also dance when music played. The HouseGuests completed their task and won food from "Skip the Dishes". On Day 20, Jesse was evicted by a 9-2 vote, with Derek and Veronica voting to evict Olivia.

text: Following Jesse's eviction, the HouseGuests recalled in the Night in the BBCAN Museum Head of Household competition. The day before the competition, the HouseGuests had the opportunity to view three exhibits from memorable moments in "Big Brother Canada" history. HouseGuests were asked a series of questions about the exhibits. An incorrect answer resulted in elimination. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Erica was the winner. On Day 21, Erica nominated Maddy and Merron for eviction. On Day 22, Erica, Maddy, Merron, Olivia, Alejandra, and Ryan fished in the Fisherman's Barf Power of Veto competition. In the first round, each HouseGuest will be connected to a fishing line wrapped around a series of posts. While attached to one end of the line, they must climb over, under, and around the posts in order to untangle the line. The first three to untangle their fishing line and ring their bell will move on to the final round. Olivia, Erica, and Maddy moved on to the final round. For the final round, they must each roll over their fishing pole in order to reel in their fish. The first HouseGuest to reel in their fish will win the Power of Veto. Erica was the winner. On Day 24, Erica decided to take Maddy off the block, and named Veronica as the replacement nominee. On Day 25, Cassandra from Big Brother Canada 4 & 5 surprised the HouseGuests for a task. The guys were required to give the girls an '80s-themed makeover. However, the guys were also secretly given the task to give the worst makeover possible. The best pair will win a $2000 cash prize and a year's supply of "L'Oreal" hair care products, as well as a special dinner. Veronica and Johnny won the task. Just before the Live Eviction, Arisa informed the HouseGuests of the Double Eviction. On Day 27, Veronica was evicted by a 9-1 vote, with Will voting to evict Merron. The HouseGuests then faced off in the One, Two, Three Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests played in a series of head-to-head matches. They were asked a question about the season's events. The answer will either be one, two, or three. The first HouseGuest to buzz in with the correct answer will advance and eliminate their opponent. If they are incorrect, they will be eliminated and their opponent will advance. If nobody buzzes in, they will both be eliminated unless they are the final two. The survivor of the match will then select the next two HouseGuests to face off. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Olivia was the winner. She immediately nominated Merron and Ryan for eviction. Afterwards, Olivia, Merron, and Ryan, plus Alejandra, Hamza, and Paras, bounced in the Big Brother Pinball Power of Veto competition. In this competition, each HouseGuest has their own board with two balls and five targets. They must slide their balls down their board, trying to knock down their targets. The first HouseGuest to knock down all of their targets will win the Power of Veto. Ryan was the winner. At the Veto Meeting, Ryan took himself off the block, and Olivia named Hamza as the replacement nominee. On Day 27, Hamza was evicted by an 8-1 vote, with Erica voting to evict Merron.

text: Following Veronica and Hamza's evictions, the HouseGuests were hung over in the About Last Night Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests were asked true-false questions based on the party they had the previous night. An incorrect answer resulted in elimination. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Erica was the winner. For being the first four eliminated during the Head of Household competition, Alejandra, Kaela, and Merron became Have-Nots for the week. Since there was a tie for the last Have-Not, Erica selected Johnny to join them. On Day 28, Erica nominated Merron and Ryan for eviction, with Merron as the target. On Day 29, Erica, Merron, and Ryan, beside Alejandra, Maddy, and Johnny, delivered in the Delivering the Goods Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must deliver a series of ten various restaurant orders to various homes. However, the orders are made more difficult by leaving out key information, which they must figure out themselves. The HouseGuest who completes the ten orders in the fastest time will win the Power of Veto, as well as a $5000 "Skip the Dishes" gift card. Johnny was the winner. On Day 31, Johnny decided not to use the Power of Veto. On Day 34, Merron was evicted in a 5-3 vote, with Alejandra, Derek, and Kaela voting to evict Ryan. After the eviction, Arisa revealed to Canada within the next two weeks, they could vote to save a nominee after the veto is used, or not to use the power. If it is not used in the coming week, it carries over to the week after. If it still isn’t used, the twist ends.

text: Following Merron's eviction, the houseguests competed in the "Buttoned Up" endurance competition, where the houseguests held a button, and whichever houseguest was the last one standing became the new Head of Household. Kaela won her first competition of the season after making a deal with Olivia. She decided to nominate Will and Ryan, with Ryan as the target. The houseguests then competed in the veto competition. The houseguests played three rounds in the veto competition it ultimately came down to Ryan and Johnny. Johnny won his third veto of the season. At the veto ceremony, Johnny wanted to use the veto on his close friend, Will, however, he was worried another one of his close allies could be the replacement nominee. Ultimately, Johnny decided not to use the veto. At the live eviction, Arisa announced that Canada decided to use the save twist to save Ryan. Kaela then had to pick a replacement nominee. She chose Erica for her challenge dominance. At the live eviction, Erica was evicted by a vote of 5-2 with Johnny and Ryan voting to evict Will. Afterwards, Arisa said jury started the coming week.

text: Following Erica's eviction, The houseguests competed in the Before or After competition. It came down to a tiebreaker round and Derek won his first competition of the season. Derek put up Ryan because he and Kaela did not have a strong relationship with him. He remained a backup target in case Johnny won the vote. He nominated Johnny for trying to take out Kaela and Derek in previous weeks. He was also targeted for lying about voting to evict Will and competition dominance. Derek then won the POV. At the veto ceremony, he decided to keep his nominations in place. Ryan was evicted in a unanimous vote and became the first member of the Jury of seven.

text: Following Ryan's eviction, The houseguests competed in the "Slippery Slope" competition. Johnny won and immediately named Keala and Derek have-nots for the week. he them nominated the two for eviction, with Derek as the target. Derek then won the POV for the second straight time.

text: Notes[edit]

text:
^Note 1 :      On Night 1, the 14 HouseGuests participated in a toast. Andrew toasted with the only Goblet with a Blue Eye. Because of this, he was tasked with dividing the House between Heaven and Hell. The 7 HouseGuests sent to Heaven would have immunity from the first eviction and be given their personal belongings. The 7 HouseGuests sent to Hell would not be given their belongings and be on slop for the first week. Additionally, they will be the only HouseGuests eligible to compete for Head of Household.
^Note 2 :      Four potential contestants competed for Canada's vote to become Houseguests. Following Rozina's eviction, it was revealed that Veronica and Merron received the most votes to enter the House. As new HouseGuests, they were immune for the week and were not eligible to vote at the second eviction.
^Note 3 :      Week 3’s HoH Competition was played in pairs. As Erica was left without a partner, she was awarded immunity for the week. However, Erica will still be able to compete in the next HOH.
^Note 4 : Week 4 was a double eviction week. Following Veronica's eviction, the remaining HouseGuests played a week's worth of games—including HoH and Veto competitions and Nomination, Veto and Eviction ceremonies—during the remainder of the live show, culminating in a second eviction for the week.
^Note 5 :      After Merron's eviction, Arisa revealed the "Canada's Save" Twist to the audience. Following Week 6's Veto episode, voting will open to save a nominee with an additional option to not use the power. Should Canada use their save, the HoH must name a replacement nominee at the live eviction ceremony. Should Canada’s Save not be used during Week 6, the power will carry over to Week 7 where after Following Week 7's Veto episode, voting will open again to save a nominee or not use the power. After Week 7, the power will expire, regardless of its usage or lack thereof. [4] During Week 6, Canada voted to save Ryan from eviction with 51% of Canada’s Vote. Will received 36% and Not Using the Power got 12%. Kaela nominated Erica in his place.[5]
^Note 6 :      During the Head of Household competition, houseguests were given temptations to drop out. Derek dropped out of the HoH competition and gained immunity for the week. Paras also dropped out for $1000. Will dropped out for a phone call home.
^Note 7 :      Johnny won the Power of Veto this week and therefore was ineligible to become nominated in Ryan's place.
^Note 8 :      Week 8 was a triple eviction week. Following the eviction, the remaining HouseGuests played a week's worth of game – including HoH and Veto competitions, and Nomination, Veto, and Eviction ceremonies – during the remainder of the live show, culminating in a second and third eviction for the week. As Head of Household, Derek was forced to nominate three HouseGuests for eviction and was not allowed to compete for the Power of Veto. The voting HouseGuests cast their vote to save a nominee.

document_title: Brutus Buckeye

question_text: what is a buckeye the mascot for ohio state university

root

text: Brutus Buckeye

text: History[edit]

text: Ohio State students Ray Bourhis and Sally Huber decided Ohio State needed a mascot in 1965 and convinced the athletic council to study the matter. At the time, mascots were generally animals brought into the stadium or arena. A buck deer was contemplated but rejected as impossible.[1] Instead, the buckeye was selected, as the buckeye is the official state tree of Ohio. A simple papier-mâché nut was constructed by students, worn over the head and torso, with legs sticking out. It made its appearance at the Minnesota vs. Ohio State homecoming football game on October 30, 1965. The heavy papier-mâché nut did not last and it was soon replaced by a fiberglass shell. On November 21, 1965, The Columbus Dispatch reported that judges picked Brutus Buckeye to be the new mascot's name after a campus-wide "Name the Buckeye" contest. The winning name was the idea of then Ohio State student Kerry J. Reed, 21. "Block O" agreed to care for Brutus in December.[2] In the early 2000s, the Brutus costume was stolen before a game. The mascot was forced to wear the old costume.

text: Brutus has a buckeye head and block O hat, scarlet and grey shirt emblazoned "Brutus" and "00", red pants with an Ohio State towel hanging over the front, and high white socks with black shoes. Male and female students both serve as Brutus Buckeye.

text: Appearances[edit]

text:
Brutus Buckeye appears in ESPN This Is Sportscenter ads eating lunch and performing aerobics with Richard Simmons.
Brutus appears in Home Depot commercials advertising Glidden paint strapped to the back of a truck.
Brutus appears in the NCAA Football series and NCAA March Madness series of video games as a mascot and has his own mascot team.
During the 2002–2003 NCAA football season, Brutus was 1 of 12 contestants competing to be the Capital One National Mascot of the Year. Brutus appeared in approximately 4 commercials depicting the faux competition between the 12 mascots. He appeared again for the 2010–11 NCAA football season, this time with fifteen other mascots and then again in the 2011–12 NCAA football season.
In 2006, Brutus appeared on The Daily Show's Midwest Midterm Midtacular as a guest correspondent and was interviewed by Jon Stewart. In the middle of the interview, Brutus is caught and eaten by a giant squirrel, a play on the fact that he is a nut.[3]
Brutus was the subject of a comic series from the College of Pharmacy at the University entitled "Adventures in Pharmacy". Episodes depicted Brutus as a patient stricken with common household illnesses including the influenza, gout and the common cold. Adventures in Pharmacy was created as a community service by The Ohio State College of Pharmacy, the Department of Athletics, and the Columbus Public Schools. One of the goals of this program is to educate students about the role pharmacists play in health care and the treatment of common illnesses.

text: 2010 tackling[edit]

text: On September 18, 2010, the Ohio Bobcats football team played the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus. As the Buckeyes were running onto the field, Brandon Hanning, dressed as Rufus the Bobcat, saw Ohio State mascot Brutus Buckeye leading the team and charged into the field. Hanning failed in his initial sideswiping attempt on Brutus, losing his mascot head in the process.[4] Hanning then got back on his feet and ran after Brutus and jumped on his back and continued to hit the mascot in the head. Hanning was then pulled aside by security who told him to stop. Neither Rufus nor Brutus were harmed during the event. After the game, Hanning was terminated from his position as Ohio's mascot, and was banned from attending Ohio home athletic events.

text: In a post-game interview, Hanning explained that this was his sole purpose in trying out to be the mascot. "It was actually my whole plan to tackle Brutus when I tried out to be mascot," Hanning explained, "I tried out about a year ago, and the whole reason I tried out was so I could come up here to Ohio State and tackle Brutus." When asked if the attack on Brutus was the first mascot brawl he had been in he replied with, "Before this, I actually got in a fight with the Buffalo mascot. He's a bull. I started it. I was thinking I should go ahead and try out tackling another mascot. I brought a red square cape thing, like in a bullfight. He was just playing around, acting like he was charging me. I tackled him and put him on the ground. It was pretty funny. No one got upset because it wasn't Ohio State."

text: Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging

text: Plot[edit]

text: On the first day of the school year Georgia and her friends, Jas, Ellen and Rosie spot two new brothers that have just moved to Eastbourne from London, fraternal twins Robbie and Tom. The girls follow the boys, who are exploring Eastbourne with their friend Dave "the Laugh".

text: Georgia then hatches a plan to get close to Robbie. Realizing that Robbie likes cats she pretends her cat, Angus, has gone missing. Jas has Angus on a leash, but he escapes and Tom rescues him. Jas and Tom begin dating while Robbie is dating Georgia's rival - Lindsay.

text: In the midst of all this, Georgia's father has been offered a job in New Zealand, and he goes to New Zealand to prepare for the family to move out with him. During his absence, Georgia's mum hires a handsome builder called Jem to re-do the living room, and begins to spend increasingly longer periods of time with him, making Georgia worried as to the state of her parents marriage.

text: In an attempt to "grow up" for Robbie, Georgia then goes to have "snogging lessons" with Peter Dyer. He becomes infatuated with her and at a party the following night, he tries to kiss her, causing her to fall in to a bush and expose her underwear to Robbie, Lindsay, Jas and Tom, who see her on the ground with Peter. In order to get away from Peter, Georgia tells him that she is a lesbian. Tom invites Jas to go swimming with him and Robbie. Georgia conspires to meet them at the pool and brings her sister along as she is stuck babysitting her. While in the pool Robbie and Georgia kiss. Robbie then leaves, claiming that he has to "sort some things out" but that he will phone Georgia later.

text: A few weeks later Georgia asks Dave the laugh to a gig for Robbie's band, the Stiff Dylans. After reading Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus Georgia hatches a plan to make Robbie to realize his feelings for her by going to the gig with Dave the Laugh. Robbie tries to talk to Georgia at the gig, but is stopped by Lindsay.

text: At school, Dave finds out that Georgia was only using him to make Robbie jealous and so stops talking to her. When Dave tells Robbie that Georgia was only using him, he stops talking to her as well. When she finds out it was Jas that leaked this information, they have an argument, and they vow never to speak to each other again and then Robbie tells her a sad bit of his disappointment in her .

text: Feeling like there is no point in staying in England, Georgia decides that she would like to move to New Zealand. Before she leaves she goes to the beach for a walk knowing Robbie would be there and apologizes to him. Robbie tells her that he dumped Lindsay and he admits that he still likes her.

text: In the end Georgia's mother takes her to a club for the first time and it turns out to be a surprise fifteenth birthday party, which Jas had secretly organized with Georgia's mother.It is at a newer club, outnumbering Lindsays party. She is greeted by all her friends and her family, with Jas and Georgia befriending each other again. As a surprise, Georgia's father returns from New Zealand, deciding to stay in Eastbourne for a better job opportunity. It is also revealed that Jem is gay, and that his boyfriend is the owner of the nightclub. The Stiff Dylans are performing the song "Ultraviolet" which Robbie had written about Georgia, when they are interrupted by Lindsay who had come from her own party (to which no-one had turned up) and tells Robbie that he would either have to take her back or lose her forever. He tells her that Georgia is the one he wants, and he kisses Georgia on-stage. Jas then stuffs her hands into Lindsay's breasts and pulls out her breast pads. She tosses them into the crowd, and furiously, Lindsay storms off the stage.

text: Production[edit]

text: Chadha was originally brought into the project as a scriptwriter:[1]

text: When the project came to me, the studio, Paramount, had had it for five years and even though they're British books they had these two American guys adapt the book and they couldn't get it to work. I read the script and thought how weird, this is a sort of LA male's version of an English girl's childhood and then I read the books and I thought wow, there is something here that relates to me growing up that I hadn't seen in the script. I thought this could be a British genre film or be like Clueless or Mean Girls in England and I liked the idea of doing a British version of those films. Then it clicked that it should be like Sixteen Candles.

text: Most of the scenes were filmed on location in Brighton and Eastbourne.[2] Others, such as the gig scene and some interiors and exteriors for Georgia's house, were filmed in and around Ealing Studios, London. Areas in nearby west London like Bishopshalt school in Hillingdon and the Liquid nightclub in Uxbridge were used as well.[3] Other sites include locations in Teddington and Twickenham. Costumes included green blazers and kilts borrowed from St. Bede's Prep School in Eastbourne, and props included Eastbourne's signature blue bins to add to the effect and continuity when filming in multiple locations.

text: Release[edit]

text: The film was the first movie produced by Nickelodeon Movies to receive a PG-13 rating.[citation needed]

text: Reception[edit]

text: The film received positive reviews. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 71% based on reviews from 24 critics. The site's consensus states: "Based on two of British writer Louise Rennison's popular books, Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging is a pleasant and funny tween comedy, comfortable for UK audiences as well as stateside crowds."[4]

text: Critics noted the strong central performance of Georgia Groome, who was praised for her "super-engaging"[5] and "endearingly natural" performance.[6]

text: Box office[edit]

text: The film has earned $14,924,919, which includes $10,627,381 (£6.6 million) from the UK alone.[7] The film was in the top 40 in the UK and Ireland and Malta 2008 box office.[8] The film was not released theatrically in the United States, but instead had its U.S. premiere on Nick at Nite and TeenNick, where it was rated TV-PG, and later was released on DVD.

document_title: Royal Rumble

question_text: who has appeared in the most royal rumbles

text: Royal Rumble

text: History

text: Event

text: The Royal Rumble is a pay-per-view consisting of the Royal Rumble match, title matches, and various other matches. The first Royal Rumble event took place on January 24, 1988, and was broadcast live on the USA Network.[4] The following year, the event started to be broadcast on pay-per-view[5] and thus became one of WWE's "big four" pay-per-views, along with WrestleMania, Survivor Series, and SummerSlam.[6]

text: The men's Royal Rumble match is usually located at the top of the card, though there have been exceptions, such as the 1988, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2006, 2013, and 2018 events.[7] Due to the Rumble match taking up a large amount of time (most Rumble matches last roughly one hour), the Rumble event tends to have a smaller card than most other pay-per-view events, which routinely have six to eight matches per card. The 2008 Royal Rumble was the first WWE pay-per-view to be available in high-definition.[8] The 2018 Royal Rumble was the first to feature a women's Royal Rumble match, which was the main event for that year.

text: Match

text: The Royal Rumble is based on the classic Battle Royal match, in which a number of wrestlers (traditionally 30) aim at eliminating their competitors by tossing them over the top rope, with both feet touching the floor.[1][2][9] The winner of the event is the last wrestler remaining after all others have been eliminated.[1][10] According to Hornswoggle, who worked for WWE from 2006 until 2016 and participated in two Rumbles, participants may learn their eliminations by knowing the two wrestlers who are eliminated before them and which wrestlers are entering the Royal Rumble in between their elimination.[11]

text: The Royal Rumble differs from the classical Battle Royal as the contestants do not enter the ring at the same time, but instead are assigned entry numbers, usually via a lottery, although desirable spots are occasionally assigned by other means, the most common being winning a match. This lottery is usually staged right before the event begins.[1] The match begins with the two wrestlers who have drawn entry numbers one and two, with the remaining wrestlers entering the ring at regular timed intervals, either 90 seconds or two minutes, according to their entry number.[1] This format is credited to Pat Patterson.[12] 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.

text: The Royal Rumble match traditionally involves 30 wrestlers and usually lasts an hour, with the longest match, at the 2011 event, lasting over one hour and nine minutes of a three-hour pay-per-view.[13] However, the first televised Rumble match, contested in 1988, involved only 20 men,[14] and lasted 33 minutes of the two-hour broadcast.[13] The 1998 Royal Rumble nominally had the traditional 30-man field, but only 28 individual wrestlers competed; Mick Foley entered the Royal Rumble match three different times—first as Cactus Jack, then as Mankind, and finally as Dude Love.[15] The 2011 Royal Rumble was the first and only to have a 40-man field,[16] out of whom Alberto Del Rio was victorious. The 2018 Royal Rumble was the first to feature a women's Royal Rumble match, with Stephanie McMahon making the official announcement on the December 18, 2017 edition of Raw.[17] The women's Royal Rumble match has all of the same rules as the men's match, including having 30 participants.[18][19]

text: The match has no stipulations or rules other than that elimination must occur by a participant being placed over the top rope and both feet touching the floor. A wrestler who only touches the floor with one foot is not eliminated from the match, a rule which greatly affected the 1995 match, allowing Shawn Michaels to re-enter the ring and win the match. This has been popularized by Kofi Kingston, who although has not won a match, he has found various ways to keep both of his feet from touching the floor.[20] Subsequently, a wrestler who exits the ring without going over the top rope is not eliminated from the contest. For example, during the 1999 match, both Vince McMahon and Steve Austin left the ring, only to return later in the match.[21] In the 1994 match, the last two participants, Bret Hart and Lex Luger, were declared co-winners when it was decided that both of their feet touched the floor at exactly the same time.[22] A similar situation occurred in the 2005 match. However, the match was instead restarted after Batista and John Cena eliminated each other at the same time (as their simultaneous elimination was actually an accident); Batista eliminated Cena afterwards to win the match.[23] Though various referees are charged with observing the match, some eliminations have gone unnoticed to allow the eliminated participants to sneak back into the ring to continue. Steve Austin was able to win in this way during the 1997 match after re-entering following an unacknowledged elimination and eventually tossed Bret Hart, who was the last legal wrestler in the ring, over the top.[24]

text: Although the vast majority of eliminations are caused by active participants, eliminations caused by other means have occurred, and have been ruled legitimate, including self-eliminations (such as Andre the Giant jumping out of the ring after seeing a snake in 1989, Kane eliminating himself in 1999, and Drew Carey eliminating himself in 2001; however, Randy Savage's jump over the top rope in 1992 was not ruled as self-elimination), elimination from previously-eliminated participants (such as The Undertaker eliminating Maven in 2002, Kurt Angle eliminating Shawn Michaels in 2005, Kane eliminating CM Punk in 2014, and The Wyatt Family eliminating Brock Lesnar in 2016), and elimination from non-participants (such as Shane McMahon eliminating Shawn Michaels in 2006 and The Miz eliminating John Cena in 2011). Furthermore, if an injured wrestler is taken away by medical staff, he can return to the match as long as the match is still ongoing (such as Steve Austin in 1999 or Roman Reigns in 2016), but if the match ends without the injured wrestler returning, he is deemed eliminated (such as Scotty 2 Hotty in 2005 or Curtis Axel in 2015).

text: Prize

text: Since 1993, the winner of the Royal Rumble match is traditionally awarded a title match for WWE's top championship at WrestleMania – presently, there are two top championships, the Universal Championship on Raw and the WWE Championship on SmackDown.[25] Similarly, the winner of the women's Royal Rumble match (first contested in 2018) is awarded a match at WrestleMania for either of WWE's top two women's championships, the Raw Women's Championship or the SmackDown Women's Championship.[17]

text: With the brand extension introduced in mid-2002, the 30 male entrants from 2003 to 2006 consisted of 15 wrestlers from both the Raw and SmackDown brands. At first, the winner of the match received a shot at their brand's top champion.[26] Starting in 2004, the Rumble winner had the option of challenging any brand's champion. For instance, Chris Benoit switched brands after winning the 2004 Royal Rumble and won the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XX.[25] From 2007 to 2010, participants from the ECW brand competed along with the Raw and SmackDown brands, with the ECW World Championship added as an option for the winner to challenge for, although no winners ever did.[27] During ECW's participation, the entries for each brand were not evenly divided.[28] The ECW Championship was deactivated in 2010, and the World Heavyweight Championship was unified into the WWE Championship in 2013, leaving the latter as the only title to challenge for until July 2016, when the brand extension returned. With the new brand extension, the winner of the 2017 event earned a match for their brand's top championship, Raw's Universal Championship or SmackDown's WWE Championship, but beginning in 2018, the winner has a choice. Conversely, beginning with the 2018 event, women receive a title opportunity of their choice for a women's championship: the Raw or SmackDown Women's Championship. Due to free agents, Hall of Famers, and wrestlers from the NXT brand also participating, there has not been an even division of wrestlers (in either the men's or women's Rumbles) between Raw and SmackDown since the second brand extension went into effect.

text: WWE's top championship has been booked as on the line during the Royal Rumble match on two occasions. In 1992, the vacant WWF World Heavyweight Championship was contested in the 1992 Royal Rumble match, eventually won by Ric Flair,[29] while in 2016, Roman Reigns was scheduled to defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship as a participant of that year's Royal Rumble match and was entrant number one. This marked the first time that a reigning champion had to defend his title in the match, which was ultimately won by Triple H, who eliminated Reigns before lastly eliminating Dean Ambrose to win. Reigns would go on to earn a match against Triple H at WrestleMania 32 and won back the title.

text: From 2001 to 2007, the Royal Rumble match winner had gone on to win a world championship title at WrestleMania.[13] After winning the 2008 match, John Cena became the first winner to use his championship opportunity at an event (No Way Out 2008) other than WrestleMania.[30] He also became the first since The Rock in 2000 to win the Royal Rumble match but fail to win the title in his championship opportunity.

text: The Royal Rumble winner may also choose to put his championship opportunity on the line in a match. This was first done in 1996, when Shawn Michaels risked his WrestleMania XII title shot in a match against Owen Hart at In Your House 6. The second time was in 1999, when Stone Cold Steve Austin offered to forfeit his title opportunity to the Big Boss Man, who won third place in the Rumble (Austin was actually the runner-up in that rumble, but the winner, Vince McMahon himself, had voluntarily given up his title opportunity) if McMahon could beat him in a cage match at St. Valentine's Day Massacre: In Your House, which Austin would go on to win. The third time was in 2002, when Kurt Angle convinced Triple H to put his WrestleMania X8 championship spot on the line at No Way Out, a match which Angle won. However, Triple H would later defeat Angle and regain his WrestleMania championship spot. The fourth time was in 2006, when Randy Orton goaded Rey Mysterio into putting his main event spot at WrestleMania 22 on the line at No Way Out, a match which Orton won. Mysterio was eventually reinserted into the main event at WrestleMania, making it a triple threat match, and went on to win the World Heavyweight Championship. On the February 25, 2013, edition of Raw, John Cena successfully defended his WrestleMania 29 WWE Championship opportunity in a match against CM Punk. On February 22, 2015, at Fastlane, Roman Reigns defended his WrestleMania 31 WWE World Heavyweight Championship opportunity against Daniel Bryan.

text: In 2000, The Rock was declared the victor, as the storyline intended. However, it was later revealed that his feet had actually touched before those of the Big Show. A singles match was held at No Way Out, the event following the Royal Rumble, to determine who received the WrestleMania title shot against the reigning champion Triple H. Big Show won with the help of Shane McMahon. Rock then defeated Big Show in a rematch in March on Raw with the help of Vince McMahon, which earned him a title shot and converted the match at WrestleMania into a triple threat that was later made a four-way match when Linda McMahon inserted the recently retired Mick Foley into the match.

text: (*) - WWE's official source mistakenly reports the time as 20 seconds.

text: Non-eliminated wrestlers

text: Several times, wrestlers were drawn to compete in the match but did not actually compete. Their participation is counted as zero seconds, with the exception of #6 Hornswoggle:

text:
In 1991, "Macho King" Randy Savage was drawn 18th, but no-showed due to leaving the building after costing Ultimate Warrior the WWF Championship against Sgt. Slaughter.
In 1994, Bastion Booger was drawn 25th, but no-showed due to suffering food poisoning before the match.
In 1998, Skull was drawn 22nd, but no-showed due to being attacked by Los Boricuas after being mistaken for Stone Cold Steve Austin.
In 2004, Spike Dudley was drawn 13th, but was attacked on the ramp by Kane.
In 2005, Scotty 2 Hotty was drawn 15th, but was attacked on the ramp by Muhammad Hassan.
In 2008, Hornswoggle was drawn 9th and eliminated The Miz, however he wasn't brought into the ring until towards the end of the match by Mark Henry and was saved by Finlay, who was drawn 27th, and escorted to the back and never re-entered the match. Finlay would later be disqualified after coming out before his number came up and using his shillelagh to help Hornswoggle.
In 2015, Curtis Axel was drawn 6th, but was attacked on the ramp by Erick Rowan. Unlike other occasions, this was notable for actually being worked into a gimmick for Axel, where he began to imitate Hulk Hogan and wear shirts emblazoned with "AxelMania" and claim that he was never eliminated from the Royal Rumble, therefore he won it, deserving a spot in the main event of WrestleMania.

text: Wrestlers who had their number stolen or were replaced

text: Several times, wrestlers were drawn to compete and were instead either attacked backstage or pulled from the match at the last minute, and replaced by other wrestlers.

text:
In 1999, Mosh was drawn 11th, but was attacked by Mabel, who took Mosh's spot.
In 2001, the team of Lo Down (Chaz and D'Lo Brown) defeated Kaientai (Funaki and Taka Michinoku) to earn one entrance spot in the Royal Rumble match, but that was later overturned by Vince McMahon who entered Drew Carey in their spot.
In 2004, Test was drawn 21st, but was attacked by Mick Foley, who took Test's spot.
In 2005, Nunzio was drawn 20th, but was bullied by Kurt Angle before the match, and took Nunzio's spot.
In 2018, Tye Dillinger was drawn 10th, but was attacked by Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, the latter of whom took Dillinger's spot.
