sounds like more lazy booking... "well we cant figure out who to put in a 10 minute match so just throw 10 more guys into the rumble"

Some people really do complain about everything.

Angle is from Pitsburgh, not Philly. You're right. I don't know why I was thinking Philly. Maybe an old ECW guy would make an appearance

30 spots for main roster guys. five spots for NXT guys, My choices are Hideo Itami, Finn Balor, Tyler Breeze, Enzo Amore, and Big Cas and five spots for wwe Legends, I'm hoping for the debut of Sting, and he wins the whole thing I think thats a perfect recipe. Maybe throw in an extra legend or 2 and remove 2 of the regular roster if needed would be fine too. Obviously it all depends on who's available. I personally love the 40 man rumble concept. To me it just makes it seem like whoever wins it worked extra hard through 10 more people to win. I thought it was a great concept in 2011 until they effed it up by giving Del Rio the win. Should have been Punk or Barrett imo. I think this year's Rumble has been lined up for some great returns/debuts/cool moments. My personal hopes for the 2015 Royal Rumble include - Daniel Bryan's Return - Kurt Angle's Return - Sting's Debut - Nash Appearance - Christian Return - Batista Return (only this time, him not winning it) - Rob Van Dam Return - Chris Jericho Return - Roman or Bryan winning it. - Zayn, Itami, Finn, Neville, and Breeze from NXT (Assuming it will probably be too soon for Steen to appear)

Del Rio should not have won. My money is on Roman Regins winning the Rumble. The one thing i don't agree on is the Batistia Return.

2011 was probably an okay 40-Man Royal Rumble Match had they not come up with Del Rio. Loved the Surprise Legend Returns with Booker T and Kevin Nash. But I felt like they could've got some more legends too. Nash got the loudest pop of anyone that night. Punk and The Nexus dominating the first part of the Rumble was good. But really shocked me that Santino was the last man to be eliminated. Alberto and Santino as the last 2 was kind of a joke to me in that match.

But really shocked me that Santino was the last man to be eliminated. Alberto and Santino as the last 2 was kind of a joke to me in that match. Completely agree that Del Rio/Santino being the last 2 in a 40 man rumble was weak as anything. It was clear Del Rio was going to win (which was painful enough) and then not only do you make Del Rio look weak by eliminating a guy who was opening cards on Superstars shows, but you bore the crap out of people watching by dragging it on for a good 3-4 minutes. The 2011 rumble was gold up until that and when Punk was eliminated by Cena. Punk winning the 40 man rumble at the #1 spot and Cena taking the title from Miz at Elimination Chamber would have made for MUCH, MUCH better storylines and matches heading into Mania 27. You sir are the smartest man on here. Del Rio should not have won. My money is on Roman Regins winning the Rumble. The one thing i don't agree on is the Batistia Return. Eh I actually didn't mind Batista's initial return once he got back into the swing of things but I was not a fan at all for giving him the Rumble win in his first match back in almost 4 years. Once he became Boo-tista heel, got rid of those dumb looking boxer briefs he initially wore, and started growing back a beard so he didn't entirely look like he was 50 year old botoxed to look like he was 20 again, I actually liked most of his stuff. Him, Orton and Bryan surprisingly put on the first real "Mania-Quality Feel" Title Match Main Event since Wrestlemania 24 for me. Batista's return is really underrated to me, mostly because no one could quite get over him winning the Rumble (myself included).

I wonder what Legend Barrett will troll online with this year? It's been Papa Shango. Maybe he will stick with that one. It be funny if Shango did come out just to eliminate Barrett.

"well we cant figure out who to put in a 10 minute match so just throw 10 more guys into the rumble" Exactly, not to mention every one knows Reigns is winning so they may as well have no RR match. Some people really do complain about everything. You can't please everyone. 30 is a struggle with the current roster depth, no idea how they are even going to manage 40. As long as Daniel Bryan wins I'm cool with whatever.

yeah I'm ok with it.....crowd in Philly should be hot as f*ck too. As long as it wasn't like the last 40 man RR we will all be ok. It had some great moments but ADR & Santino being the finishers? absolute crap.
If Reigns does win the RR though? Philly could be a bad city for him to do it in......I can imagine the boos showering down......unless he eliminates Cena last or something. The thoughts of Cena winning the RR would frighten the piss outta that crowd.

It's freaking awesome that's it in Philly. I'm most likely going to go. This will be my first Rumble experience so being that it is going to be a 40 man rumble that would so awesome.

Hopefully we'll get some good returns and legend appearances. Ain't nobody got time for NXT, they can just stick to the one NXT guy that they have the last couple rumbles.
It'll probably just be 10 extra jobbers though. Which sucks.
