What sort of Rumble should we have this year?
Time to discuss, how many guys do you want in this year's Royal Rumble. There's some word going around that this year's Rumble may still be 40 despite news that they're going back to 30 men. What do you think?

40-Man without question...... Royal Rumble is my favourite event of the year, and I have never been so excited than last year.... A 30-Man Rumble this year immediately makes me less interested right off of the bat.....

30. The 40 man was a good flavor and all, but it really only pulled off because of Nexus's involvement. The last ten entries seemed really rushed.

40, why not? Gives the Rumble more time, and adds more to the ring.

They should have a 30-man Royal Rumble, BUT, instead of it being that whoever is thrown over the rope to the outside be eliminated, have all 30 guys start on the outside, and whoever is thrown INTO the ring, is eliminated.
It'd be awesome because everyone who is thrown into the ring, is going to have to just stand there 'til the whole thing is over.

Since it was 40 last year they might as well go with it again i'd hate for ADR to be the only superstar to win one even though he came in really late.

There's less time to tell any kind of stories in the rumble with 40 men. Also I'm pretty sure they've said/it's common sense that they only went with 40 last year to accomodate Nexus and The Corrrrrrrrrrrrre. Do they even need 40 this year? It would just be adding a bunch of people into the match who would add nothing.

Hey DLVH84, I'm surprised you didn't say you'd much prefer a battlebowl which was Created by World Championship Wrestling in 1991, the Battlebowl battle royal involved a multiple ring setup. Wrestlers were first thrown—over the top rope—from the first ring to the second, not actually being eliminated until going over the top rope of the second ring. "Survivors" of the first ring were allowed a rest period until the other ring was cleared.[3]

Traditional 30 with a few surprise entrants.
The 40 man and Wrestlemania Rumbles were also good being special rumbles with Wrestlemania's being great how it kept going higher based on the current Mania's number. The 40 Man would have been more special had there been a spot where all the Nexus and Corre members were in the ring at the same time but the WWE wasted it with the pre-brawl and having Cena with Hornswoggle eliminate the entire Nexus before the rest of the Corre came out. |

Usually they were the preshow to warm up the crowd although those we're really more or less regular battle royals with more participants depending on the mania number. Think they had one at WMs II and IV too.

I'd say keep it 30. When you go over you start getting to many of those guys who have no chance of winning. It's like WCW World War 3, I put all my money on Maxx Muscle or Barrio Brother Ricky to win in the first one but neither of them got close

40 days to go. YES!
They should’ve saved Road Dogg for the Rumble, and Rikishi should be called upon also. I’d love that. |

Why is everyone excited about Road Dogg? If he's not talking, he's pretty much worthless.

Wait i got a better idea.....let them REALLY outdo WCW.....61 Man battle Royale!
Unfortunately due to lack of superstars, 9 spots had to be filled by Charles Robinson, Jack Korpella, Chyna (who got back in the WWE for one night after doing....'personal favors'), Joey Styles who enters twice for some reason, Sign Guy, The guy who sells merchandise under a Sin Cara mask, Paul The evil popcorn Vender, and a pillow that was randomly thrown into the ring. |

Start with 50 guys in the back, first 40 through the curtain progress to Stage 2.
The 40 compete to get into the ring, the first 30 to do so qualify for the normal Rumble. |

Then the last 6 enter a series of matches on Raw/SmackDown to determine seeding for the Elimination Chamber at Elimination Chamber where they determine the winner and #1 Contender.

How about a Royal Rumble where guys who actually have a chance of winning are in it?
Oh, right, a 5 man Royal Rumble would suck. |

60 man, that would rule. The more guys the better I think. It would be cool if they had every guy on the roster come out for the rumble this year. I dunno if thats 60, but it would be great.

I, for one, would love to see a 60 man World War 3 event at some point down the line. I don't think WWE would ever have 3 rings set up, but I could see a 2 ring set up with 30 guys in each. Could easily do it since they were having 41 man battle royals throughout the past few months.
But 60 guys would allow for the entire roster plus a handful of FCW guys. Would just be fun to see since I'm a big battle royal fan. |

Anyway, I was hoping for a 40-man Rumble again, just because I love the Rumble. The more the merrier. They could have a 2.5 hour Rumble with 100 participants and bring back fuckloads of random people from the past, and I'd love it.
But I can understand why they're going back to 30. |

Strip Rumble. If you get thrown over the top rope you can get back in the ring, but have to lose an iteam of clothing. Once the wrestler is no longer PG they are eliminated.

Like Xero said, you can count the number of people with a legit chance of winning the rumble on one hand most years,the only benefit of increasing the number past 30 is the suprise entrants.
