Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Road Dogg, part of the surprise entries at the Rumble

Reported by Earnest I Aguilar

The 2012 Royal Rumble brought in some surprise entrants including three who were announcing the show live on pay-per-view.

Jerry "The King" Lawler was the first of the three announcers who climbed into the ring as entrant number 12 however he was thrown out by Cody Rhodes.

Booker T then removed his headset at the buzzer for number 17 went off but was also eliminated by Cody Rhodes.

With the 20th entry coming up, Michael Cole said he "had a hunch" of who it might be, and indeed he knew. Cole removed his jacket and pants to show off his orange outfit however the arrival of another surprise entry - Kharma - wasn't good news for Cole.

Kharma decked Cole and then he threw himself over the top rope but landed on the apron as he pleaded with her. King and Booker quickly removed their headsets and eliminated Cole by pulling him from the apron.

The other two surprise entries were Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Road Dogg Jesse James.

Duggan - the winner of the first Royal Rumble ever - got a loud pop as he stormed the ring and cleaned house to chants of USA. He got in as the number 19 but once again it was Cody Rhodes who eliminated him.

The former WWE tag team title holder and DX member Road Dogg also got a huge pop as he went to his usual routine with the fans showing their approval by chanting "you still got it." The Dogg - entering at number 23 - however got sent over the top rope by Wade Barrett just before number 27 came out.
