The Royal Rumble is an event produced by the World Wrestling Federation. It is one of the "Big Four" pay-per-views that WWE produces, with WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series being the other three. The Royal Rumble is the first pay-per-view to take place in the year, usually happening in late-January. The main event is usually the Royal Rumble match itself. It consists of usually 30 men, although the 1988 event had 20 men and the 2011 event had 40 men. Even 90 seconds, a new wrestler enters the ring. The winner is determined after all men have entered, with all but the winner being eliminated. Starting with the 1993 event, the winner usually goes on to a title match at that year's respective WrestleMania.
