WFigs Boards Mattel RR: The first eliminations!

The first round of voting of the Wfigs Boards Mattel Royal Rumble is complete, and the Big Red Machine Kane has emerged as an early favorite to win. With 28 votes, Kane captured 43% of the vote during the first round of voting. But with 21 Superstars yet to enter the competition, how long will Kane be able to keep this lead?

I had originally planned on only eliminating the Superstars with the lowest amount of votes during each round, but since Batista and Jack Swagger only received 2 votes and Hornswoggle and Primo only received 1 each, I have decided to eliminated the 4 of them along with Finlay and Kozlov, both of whom received 0 votes. It's unlikely that any of these stars will gain additional votes in the next rounds, so they've been eliminated in order to quicken the pace of the Rumble.

Ted DiBiase, Chris Jericho, Kane and Evan Bourne remain in the Rumble. The stars joining them for the 2nd round of voting are:

Shawn Michaels – Mattel has released 4 figures of Shawn Michaels (“Signature” series, 2 pack series 1, Entrance Greats series 1, Flex Force series 1, WWE.com Rumble Winner)
John Cena – Mattel has released 6 figures of John Cena (Basic series 1, “Signature” series, Wrestlemania Heritage series, Flex Force series 1, WWE Championship Belt pack, Wal-Mart exclusive ring, WWE.com Rumble Finalist)
Cody Rhodes – Mattel has released 1 figure of Cody Rhodes (2 pack series 1)
Santino – Mattel has released 1 figure of Santino (2 pack series 1)
Steve Austin – Mattel has released 1 figure of Steve Austin (Wrestlemania Heritage)
John Morrison - Mattel has released 1 figure of John Morrison (2 packs series 2)

Primo (eliminated round 1 with 1 vote)
Hornswoggle (eliminated round 1 with 1 vote)
