Got a feeling this is to have Del Rio outlast Rey in terms of record time even if he doesn't win.
Hoping the extra 10 guys are shocks, but probably not. |

Definitely think a good amount of nostalgia participants will be in.

I'm all for this, but I'm wondering how the intervals will be handled.

Yeah if they bump the intervals down to 60 seconds, the change wasn't worth it. Gotta be at least 90.

At 90 seconds it makes it exactly an hour for everyone to come out (obviously not taking the longer intervals into account, which there always are). Best case scenario, they keep that rapid-fire pace while extending the match itself. And that's awesome.

The article says there will be entrants every 90 seconds. I'm quite excited by this, despite the fact it won't make too much of a difference overall. I think anyway.

"Every 90 seconds, one of 40 elite ring warriors with randomly drawn Rumble entry numbers joins the fray. " This is officially epic. |

Well, now I guess my fantasy-booked Rumble from a couple weeks ago is shot to shit, right?
Very excited about this. Especially the prospect of more nostalgia entrants. |

What the fuck???
So in this case, nobody should be left off the RR card unless they're hurt. Maybe they're going to let some of the NXT guys into the RR? I'm all for this, especially if they do a spot where like 25 people are in there at once or something. |

Awesome, and I was thinking that the Rumble was just going to be alright this year.
40 participants is going to make it pretty great I think. Looking forward to it now. |

So this could easily give Cena a chance to pull a Foley and use the 3 faces of Cena during the rumble.

I'm guessing we get two Chavo appearances, one as himself, one as the Eagle where he finally gets unmasked and even Swagger is disappointed that it's Chavo.

Is this really awesome? It's interesting I guess, but putting in 10 extra guys with no chance of winning doesn't really scream awesome to me.

I'd have rather it remained 30. Alas, the decision was out of my hands.

I like this..... I'd still like to see the time intervals stay at 2:00, but I guess I can't be picky.....

Why not just put every title on the line? Depending on how you finish, determines which title you get. 6th and 5th=tag champs, 4th=US champ, 3rd=IC champ, 2nd=WHC, and the last man standing gets the WWE titles, and both the Bella twins.

Blech. Just means they felt they didn't have enough singles/tag matches to fill the rest of the time adequately.

Pretty awesome, but I wish they still came in every 2 minutes. That might seem too long for most fans though.

I agree with Supreme, I don't think this is really a great idea. Usually in a 30-man Royal Rumble there are at least 20 participants that you KNOW are not going to win. Now it's going to be 30 participants.
I'm all for nostalgia and stuff, but if we suddenly get ten guest appearances (when you know damn well they won't win the thing), the nostalgia kind of wears off and ruins the 'unpredictablilty' of the match. Plus, if it ends up being the usual legends such as Sgt. Slaughter, Roddy Piper etc, then I really couldn't care less. |
