During the 2006 Royal Rumble, Rey Mysterio (entering in the #2 spot) stayed in the ring for a record of 1 hour and 2 minutes and 12 seconds. The main event that night was Kurt Angle vs. Mark Henry for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Triple H, Randy Orton, and Rey Mysterio left in the ring. Triple H and Orton attempted to eliminate Mysterio together but failed and both wrestlers fell victim to Rey Mysterio’s signature 619. This resulted in Triple H being eliminated. Frustrated, Triple H then assaulted Mysterio outside of the ring, throwing him back out to be eliminated by Randy Orton. Rey Mysterio then eliminated Orton after countering his attack thus winning the 2006 Royal Rumble and beating Chris Benoit’s 2004 record of 1 hour 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Mysterio is also the 2nd person to with the Royal Rumble entering from the #2 spot, the first was Vince McMahon
 
McMahon, who was a successful boxing promoter, began working with Tex Rickard in 1926. With the help of Rickard, he began promoting boxing at the third Madison Square Garden. It was not the first time he had promoted wrestling cards, as he had already done so during the 1910s.
 
. McMahon signed Roddy Piper as Hogan’s rival, and then shortly afterward Jesse Ventura as an announcer. Other wrestlers joined the roster, such as Jimmy Snuka, Don Muraco, The Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff, Junkyard Dog, Paul Orndorff, Greg Valentine, and Ricky Steamboat.
 
The future of McMahon’s experiment came down to the success or failure of McMahon’s groundbreaking concept, WrestleMania. WrestleMania was a major success, and was (and still is) marketed as the Super Bowl of professional wrestling
