"My expectation is pain for those quote-unquote Superstars," Johnny Knoxville said. "Their a** is chicken, and I’m Colonel Sanders. I’ve got some corner men I’m bringing with me. I’m going to have the greatest corner there that night."

How did Johnny Knoxville get into the Royal Rumble match?

This week, Johnny Knoxville has been on a media tour to promote his new movie and his WWE in-ring debut on Saturday. Knoxville was a guest on Howard Stern this morning, where he explained how this all came together in the first place.

"We were doing promotion backstage at WWE and their head writer took me and Jeff Tremaine out in the hall and he's like, 'you want to make a run for the Rumble?' I was like, 'Yeah...what do you mean?' 'The Royal Rumble.' 'Oh, yeah, for sure.' Then, I've just been training 24/7, flipping huge truck tires over the fence," Johnny Knoxville said. "The neighbors are so angry. Truck tires weigh about the same as that pretty boy Austin Theory."
