Royal Rumble Expanded to 40

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

) 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.
