Edit request on 30 January 2012
Please change: "The Rumble winner may also put his championship opportunity on the line in a match, if he chooses. This was first done 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 Vince McMahon could beat him in a cage match at St. Valentine's Day Massacre: In Your House, which Austin would go on to win."

To: "The Rumble winner may also put his championship opportunity on the line in a match, if he chooses. This was first done in 1996, when Shawn Michaels won the Royal Rumble, after returning from an injury and teased retirement.  Owen Hart sidelined Shawn Michaels with a concussion (kayfabe) on an episode of WWF Monday Night RAW in late 1995.  Owen Hart would take credit for ending Michaels' career numerous times and would brag about it openly. Michaels claimed that this was his motivation for returning.  Shawn Michaels requested to face Owen Hart at WWF In Your House 6: Rage In The Cage, but was initially turned down by Hart's manager, Jim Cornette, because he stated Owen Hart has nothing to gain by wrestling Michaels again.  Shawn Michaels said that he'd do 'anything' to get Owen Hart in the ring, and Jim Cornette accepted Michaels request at the condition that Michaels put his Royal Rumble Championship Title Shot at stake, and Michaels agreed. Shawn Michaels would go on to win."

Needs editing!
Chris Jericho should be added into the most times as runner up table, as he has now been runner up twice. Also, Epico laste 11 seconds in the 2012 Rumble, which should be added in the shortest lasting table. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.204.175.215 (talk) 23:18, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
