The Royal Rumble fast approaches and we look forward to seeing our favourite WWE superstars in the form of legends and returning superstars. This year we will be treated to two 30 person over the top rope matches as the WWE women get their long-awaited time in the spotlight. Some years, however, not everything goes according to plan for the WWE General Managers and we get some unannounced and uncalled additions to the show.

Sho Funaki and Taka Michinoku were the Japanese lightweight tag team that graced our screens during the Attitude Era and beyond. Known for high-flying moves and comedic timing, both of them decided to enter the ring during the Royal Rumble in 2000. After not being named as participants, both members invaded the match multiple times before being thrown out by whoever was closest to them. The last occasion included a particularly strong throw by Gangrel on Taka which resulted in an awful looking face bump on the concrete floor.
