I am not a fan of this expansion to 40 superstars, and here is why;

1) I am a traditionalist, and IMO if it isn't broken, don't fix it.

2) In reality, there are only about 5 guys that could realistically win this thing. Adding more guys to it, or women (Awesome Kong :shifty:) only results in faster eliminations and the feeling "Wait, is this guy still in the WWE! I haven't seen him in a very long time!)

3) All the numbers they said during the Royal Rumble promo this past week on Raw will virtually mean nothing. Mysterio's record for the longest time in the ring will undoubtedly be broken, however, imo, it should still stand as there was only 30 guys participating. Also, this gives an individual the opportunity to eliminate more than Kane (I forget the number, something tells me 11.)


The only way this is going to please me is if they bring in some surprise entrants and not just filler guys such as Tatsui, David Hart-Smith, ect. Because if that is the case, why even do the upgrade to 40? I think that less is more, and Vince should have went with that.

I have a feeling they will break at least 2 records being the most eliminations and most eliminations by a woman assuming Kong enters and takes out 2 people. Only other ones possible would be longest time, #40 wins, and most career eliminations.

Most eliminations would create the quick push needed for a "monster" style wrestler like Big Zeke or the new guy CM Punk has for Nexus.

If they do have someone break the most eliminations record, have them enter really early, break the record and immediately have Kane's number hit (in the 30s) and have them hype it to shit. Then either have Kane eliminate them or have them eliminate Kane.

They should make it a 60-Man Royal Rumble with two entry ways and two rings, have two guys come out at a time and then when it gets down to the final four they fight it out in one ring.


Seriously though, I think this is a cool idea. Change can be a good thing. But really it probably just means more people for Cena and Triple H to throw out, plus the ability to let all Nexus members into the match.

I want to see someone, if not WWE some indy production with a good budget for rigging, do a Battle Royal with two rings, but the second ring is above the first. Each number would randomly have either "top" or "bottom" associated with it.

Here's what I'd like to see happen:


It gets down to the end and you have Wade Barrett's Nexus, CM Punk's Nexus, Triple H and John Cena.

The Nexus factions team up again and work together to beat down HHH and Cena to bloody pulps. They throw them over the top rope, then all the Nexus members eliminate themselves except for Barrett and Punk. Barrett and Punk step over the top rope and jump to the floor together at the same time.

Barrett gets #1 contendership for the World Title on Smackdown and CM Punk gets #1 contendership for the WWE Title on RAW. This would lead to CM Punk vs. John Cena (who wins the title at EC) and Wade Barrett losing his #1 contendership at EC to maybe Alberto Del Rio after Undertaker comes in and whips Barrett's ass, costing him his match, setting up Taker versus Barrett and Del Rio vs. Edge vs. Rey Mysterio for the World Title at WrestleMania.

Bah gawd two story ring! That's actually kind of a cool idea, though I'm not sure how well people in the higher seats would be able to see the lower ring. Also, getting thrown over the top rope from the top ring would probably lead to some pretty serious injuries... unless they surrounded the ring with big bouncy mats or tables or something.

While this would be a cool idea, I really doubt Vince would give up the $$$ from the seats that would have to be removed to make room for the second ring.

That's a ridiculous idea. What are you guys even talking about?

You know what? They never sell out Mania, so they wouldn't be losing anything. They should do a Mania with a proper War Games match with two rings.

If they do War Games or World War 3 I would think it would be its own PPV, probably having a Raw v. Smackdown theme rather than just a match that happens to take place at Mania. Bragging Rights would be a proper venue for this as they already have the feud built in.

I honestly have wanted this since I was like, ten.

Badass.

The Royal Rumble is a grown man. It's 40! :mad:

:lol:

Looking at that list of confirmed I would take out: Zack Ryder, Primo, Darren Young and
Yoshi Tatsu



I see no reason for them to be in it has they have rarely been on tv at all lately.

Darren Young needs to be in just for his music alone.

Awesome!

:y:agreed Lockjaw,too bloody funny man!!! LOL
