It fits what Jericho is doing now perfectly though.

And the moment where the guys go over and hit the floor and there's just mass confusion while everyone comes to the realization of what is happening and then the countdown starts and it's Jericho who does his entrance and just comes out and celebrates. It would be a great moment.

I say Santino last year was pretty fucking terrible.
Jericho doing this would be perfect, and it would build MASSIVE heat on him. I'm not crazy about them being eliminated before #30 enters. Jericho pulling the ropes down after a 10 minute entrance as the match went on would work a lot better. It directly puts the heat on Jericho because he's involved in the decision. |

Hell, you don't even need Jericho to come out at 30. Have him come out at like 20-25 and do the thing for like 20 minutes. Show him in the picture in picture box running up and down the stands, going to the concession stands and handing out hot dogs, taking pictures with people in the bathroom and eventually making his way back to ringside.

I wonder who this years 'wildcard we don't know much about' will be. My prediction is Mason Ryan. Even though he debuted over a year ago.

Apparently Orton is all healed up.
... Damn. I mean, I like Orton and all. I was counting on his injury fucking up the plans though because I have a feeling he's the obvious choice to win and I wanted to be surprised. |

So what year did it go from Midcard/Upper Midcard winning or having the best shot to now all Main Eventers must win the Rumble.

You'd have to define "main eventer"
I wouldn't consider del Rio a main eventer when he won. I do remember being in shock when Taker won and he and Michaels were the last two though as it seemed bizarre to have two guys so high up on the card as the last two. If you want a "turning point" you might look at that. |

Jericho seems like a good choice in terms of future planning but I wouldn't be surprised if it were Sheamus, Barrett or Orton.
Rock vs Cena Jericho vs Punk Sheamus vs Orton vs Barrett vs Bryan I'd love to see a four man title match at Mania. |

The problem with having noone left in the ring before #30 comes out is that you pretty much have to book the rest of the night to fill up the time that would have been otherwise been taken up by the Rumble, and people who are looking at their watches would notice that there's not much time left for the main event.

Could combat that a bit easily by making each entrant comming out at 2 minute intervals which uses up an 1 hour once #30 comes out and then have a post-match speech by the winner.
Would be the best possible moment for Jericho to officially turn heel and just rip the crowd for the next 5-10 minutes before either the show ends or the champion comes out to set up the Mania feud. Could even do the same with any heel really like Barrett while a normal Rumble would be done if its a face winner. You'd only need to fill up the other hour and a half with matches or even add in a few extra matches/skits. |

I'm thinking these will be the participants, presuming Del Rio can't compete.
Raw Brand -Chris Jericho -Santino Marella -R-Truth -The Miz -Alex Riley -Brodus Clay -Jack Swagger -David Otunga -Kofi Kingston -Mason Ryan -Zack Ryder (providing his so called 'injury' doesn't keep him off) SD! Brand -Sheamus -Jinder Mahal -Wade Barrett -Cody Rhodes -Heath Slater -Justin Gabriel -Hornswoggle (-_-) -Ezekiel Jackson -Ted Dibiase -Hunico -Primo -Epico -Drew McIntyre -Christian? -Randy Orton? 'Surprise' entrants -Mick Foley -Triple H -Goldust -Some extra random star from the past. |

According to tonight's WWE promo, all WWE superstars will be eligible to compete in the Royal Rumble. If this means what I think it means, this could mean other title holders.
Hmm.....Daniel Bryan enters as a surprise entrant and wins? Just throwing that out there. |

Yes but in the promos now they're saying "for the first time ever, every WWE superstar is eligible..."
For some reason they're specifically driving that point home. Considering that and what Jericho said, it's possible that Punk beats Ziggler then Laurinaitis, in a last ditch effort to get the title off Punk before Raw where he may be fired, gives Jericho a title match immediately afterward. Jericho wins the title only for Punk to enter the Rumble and win that. Someone who has gone into the Rumble as champion has never "been eligible" to compete in it. Or Punk or Bryan just wins it flat out as champion and goes on to unify the titles. |

I do not think the WWE would go with Punk winning, but I could see them flirting with the idea of a unification because Punk wants to prove he is "The Best Wrestler in the World." |

Could they be unifying at Mania? If Punk (lol, Bryan isn't winning the Rumble) wins it, we could actually get Bryan/Punk/Jericho for the Undisputed title.

For some reason, that's making me think The Rock will be in it. It wouldn't really make sense, but for whatever WWE logic is, that's the vibe it's giving me.

I still maintain that they won't unify the titles at Mania. They might build tensions between champions and THAT could lead to a unification in the WWE's post-Mania period (to keep interest in the product), but I can't see them doing it at Mania. But, as I said, I CAN see them having at least one of the champions enter with the obvious implication being that they WANT to unify the championships. CM Punk is pretty perfect for that. I personally see him being tossed out by Chris Jericho, and that being the starter of the "I'm better than you" feud the two are likely to have. |

I would find the main event of WrestleMania being Daniel Bryan vs. The Rock extremely hilarious. It won't happen (I say that a lot, but I'm stressing it), but imagine that feud.

Anyhoo, I wouldn't like The Rock to win either. I agree with Noid here. That spoiler or news report or whatever it was hints at The Rock. |

The "he eliminated me from the Rumble" WrestleMania setup is easy. I like it though. I liked it better when there was a good brand split and it was really the only chance that two guys from different brands could start a rivalry. Like when it happened with HBK and Angle. I loved that moment where as soon as Angle ran back in to eliminate him you said to yourself "WrestleMania match!"

SO what happens if one of the champions win the rumble. Do they pick who they face at WM? Or what? This "everybody can enter" thing has me thinking,and it hurts my head.

I'm sure they don't have any "set" rules going in. However they want it to go is what will determine what the rules were after the fact. I wouldn't get a headache over it.
