Order by the year each wrestler won the men's Royal Rumble match. You place all 40 cards on one timeline, one at a time. You start with three lives, and ten right in a row wins a lost one back.
Every card names a man who won the Royal Rumble match, and under each name you'll see the number he drew and where the event was held. Sort the winners by the year of their victory. You start with one winner on the timeline, year shown, and slot each new card before, after or between the others. A good call uncovers the year; a bad one still moves the winner into place and takes one of your three lives. String ten right answers together and a lost life comes back.
Plenty of names repeat, since several stars won the match more than once, and the city or arena printed on each card is what separates those wins. The entry number tells you little about when: long runs from early spots and surprise wins from late entrants happen in every era. Part-timers and returning legends throw people most, because a win can come long after a wrestler's first peak.
