I think the Rumble should be the lottery ticket. In theory anyone who is a regular on TV should be in it. I would guess there are roughly 25-30 guys who appear on TV most weeks. Then you exclude the champ, the guy in the world title match, and possibly some tag guys. But everyone else should be in it IMO. Ultimately close to half of the field will be canon fodder, but I think that's fine.
I like the idea of having 2-3 spots for returning guys to add an element of unpredictability to the show.
I wonder if they would consider a women's Rumble at some point. Obviously not with 30 participants, but they could do a 10-15 woman Rumble. Only problem is it devalues the main Rumble.
