WWE has frequently avoided mentioning Chris Benoit but a fan wrote me noting that WWW.com has given Benoit credit as the wrestler with the second longest recorded time in the Royal Rumble in WWE history

Rey Mysterio has the longest recorded time in the Royal Rumble with 1:02:12 in 2006. The next longest-lasting entrants are Chris Benoit (1:01:30 in 2004) and Bob Backlund (1:01:10 in 1993).
