Everybody knows it was actually Stevie Richards

>>2948700
Whoops, fucked up. Eddie won the Smackdown Rumble after the fact.

>>2948550
but the prize is a title shot at mania, not main event. How many of these are years where the title match was not the main event?

>>2948731
The point was exactly that, people seem to believe there's this unwritten rule where a Rumble win guarantees the main event of Mania, hell, even commentary sometimes say that, but it's not the case 37% of the time.
