I would prefer a 20 man rumble. The two things that can make the match extremely interesting are unpredictably, and there being big name storylines going on during the match. The lack of realistic possible winners is what really needs to be fixed. Lately between the booking, and the internet, it seems as if almost every year for the past decade, I could only realistically see like 3-4 guys winning it. Right now a lot of top guys are out, so that might affect it, too. And then when it comes to feuds /angles becoming entangled in the rumble, I think they have a great opportunity to set that up. Having Owens and Ambrose having to always have their eye on the other, the stables and tag teams working together (Wyatts, League of Nations, Reigns Ambrose Usos, the Dudleys). But for both instances, less participants is better. I would like 20 participants that are 17 of the main people that are on Raw and Smackdown that aren't just ridiculously unbelievable (i.e. Zack Ryder .. It was cool to root for Santino but that was literally the only time I remember thinking somebody totally unbelievable could win). And, surprises. I'd also like to see the Beast Incarnate show up and suplex a ton of dudes over the top rope.
