ROH Honor Rumble
Ring of Honor's Honor Rumble differs from the classical battle royal in that the contestants do not enter the ring at the same time, but instead are "assigned" entry numbers, a la WWE's Royal Rumble. Numbers are usually given through a lottery that is typically staged right before the event begins, although participants can also win desirable spots via a number of other means, the most common being winning a match. The match begins with the two wrestlers who have drawn entry numbers one and two, with the remaining wrestlers entering the ring at regular timed intervals of either 90 seconds or two minutes in the ascending order of their entry numbers. The winner of the Honor Rumble receives a chance to wrestle for the ROH World Championship. The first Honor Rumble took place on July 26, 2008 at ROH New Horizons.
