well Jerry was talking about one of the original 30 not being able to make it to the ring, so technically it'd still be 30 if someone took his place

Scotty 2 Hotty in the 2002 Royal Rumble. He was on his way to the ring and Taker laid him out. This all happened after Maven eliminated Taker in the match and WWE actually thinking any of us would give a shit about Maven.

I'm pretty sure with the Foley thing it happened and he entered right then and there. The difference with what I suggested is it would take place earlier in the match, and then the assailant would use the spot at the end of the match, after they've already convinced everyone that number 30 had entered and it was over. |

When Foley did it Test's music played and no one came out and it cut to the back where he was laid out. Stone Cold sent Foley out and he took Test's number/

They should do that but have Shawn flip the fuck out and beat the shit out of Taker so Taker can get some rest before Mania.

1. Batista 2. Chris Jericho 3. Kane 4. CM Punk 5. The Great Khali 6. Matt Hardy 7. John Morrison 8. Drew McIntyre 9. R-Truth 10. Dolph Ziggler I could see Matt Hardy & Khali qualifying as a tag team, since the WWE has had them pair together for recent weeks. It could be an interesting face contrast to the Big Show/Miz alliance. The WWE have just been announcing spots, but I think SmackDown! might have its guys earn them. Dolph Ziggler over Finlay, for example -- since both could lay claim to being a Royal Rumble-worthy competitor. |

Maybe I'm crazy...but I actually think Santino Marella might have a decent showing this year. He lasted around 30 seconds in '08, and WWE says he lasted just 1 second last year...quite honestly, that record is unbeatable. It's not possible to enter the ring and get thrown out in less than a second.
So between that and the fact that he is now a comedy face as opposed to the comedy heel he was the previous two years, I can see him lasting at least an interval or two. Maybe even a candidate to record a fluke elimination. He'll probably still be a "comedy entry" in the things he does while in the ring, but for some reason I don't see him being an insta-elimination this year. |

I actually think they will pull that exact same spot. Only perhaps with DX instead of Triple H/Cena. With that aside, I could also see Santino Marella hiding under the ring and such, and maybe even getting a fluke elimination or two. Santino accidentally eliminating someone could be hilarious, and would fit Santino's character perfectly.
I think Carlito will have the most-jokey elimination this year. Jack Swagger could, as well, but I have some small hope that he will get a solid mid-Rumble run, before being eliminated by a big name. Dolph Ziggler is one guy I could see entering quickly before being eliminated. Yeah, he's being taken seriously again, but his feud with Kane is interesting. I believe Kane eliminated Ziggler last year in a matter of seconds. Them repeating that could be a good way to keep their feud going. Ziggler being eliminated by Kane at the Royal Rumble could become a new tradition. |

I remember one battle royal where he stood outside the ring on one foot for a long time and then Bret Hart came out and stepped on his toes. I think it was just on Superstars.

I noticed that too. Then as Santino tosses himself out, Carlito and Show both just start to laugh hysterically while MVP and Sheamus look like they have no clue what is going on.

Rumble participants listed as of right now are as follows.
Raw: Carlito Santino Marella Evan Bourne Jack Swagger Big Show Mark Henry Kofi Kingston The Miz MVP Cody Rhodes Ted Dibiase Triple H Shawn Michaels John Cena Chris Masters ECW: The Hurricane Zack Ryder William Regal Yoshi Tatsu Shelton Benjamin Smackdown: Batista CM Punk Chris Jericho The Great Khali Kane I only count 24 on WWE.com right now. So even if you save 1 spot for Edge and 1 for RVD, that still leaves 4 spots open. Clearly Smackdown is getting the short end of the stick here.

I don't think Finlay will make it into the Royal Rumble Match. He should sell his injuries at the hands of Batista.

I kinda hate how there has been no structure to the Rumble participants (in terms of brand) since ECW came into the fold. I mean hell...even Raw's biggest jobbers get in this year at the expense of more "worthy" names on the other shows.

If we're going with the assumption there will be two surprise/unannounced entrants, I'm hoping for Edge and RVD (or even Booker), like everyone else. In reality, we'll probably get Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Hornswaggle or something.

Truthfully, I don't know if they said Ziggler was officially in, or if they just implied that he wanted to be in. There's no reason he shouldn't be. I still think that MVP and The Miz should be having a US Title match, which frees up two spaces.

I know what you mean. 12, 12 and 6 would be the fair way to do it. RAW and SmackDown! each have two hours, while ECW has one. With 30 men in, these numbers allow an even ratio.
