If the extra 10 dudes are all jobbers then having 40 guys is a failure. If they actually do something with the extra 10, it could be a lot of fun.
Did not like 2011 when it happened, may take a look at it to see if my opinion changed.

Trust me, I feel the same way. I wouldn't be surprised if wwe ruined DB's return and used him as Brock fodder.

Id rather them do 20 men then 40....They have like 5 legit guys who could win and then just a bunch of crap fillers and guys that are there just to be a spot monkey. I think 1988 was the first and last we will see a 20-Man Royal Rumble.

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. Honestly I loved how excited everyone got when Santino was doing the trumpet thing after pointing to the WrestleMania sign. Hey man that's cool......for me it robbed the RR of its final moments of drama. There was no way in hell ADR was gonna be eliminated by Marella.....

Oh yeah I knew Marella main eventing anything was a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG shot. But it was fun seeing his premature celebration.

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) This would be one of the best rumbles in awhile if it happened.

If they plan on calling anyone up to the main roster (Sami Zayn comes to mind since he is already travelling), I would have him start the Royal Rumble or at least be one of the first 5 and last all the way until the final four before getting eliminated. Shows his guts and would be a great way to get him started on the main roster with fans less familiar with his work. Similar I suppose to them introducing Rusev last year as a powerhouse, but instead of that role, showing the individual as a survivor of sorts (which is why Zayn would fit the role best).

I honestly didn't like the first 40 man rumble, except for the Santino spots. Stick to 30, keep the tradition.

Demolition, Akeem/One Man Gang, Rick Martel, Brutus Beefcake, Greg Valentine, Jim Duggan, Haku, Barbarian, Honky Tonk Man..If Im not mistaken, most of those (except Martel) still wrestle from time to time. Im not gonna say it would be pretty but they could do it.

7-8 of the extra 10 guys will be jobbers like El Torito and Hornswaggle. The WWE's top card is weak as it is, and even with Reigns and Bryan likely returning at the event, they still will have a weak main event that will not justify 40 men. I liked it in 2011 because the WWE had a deeper roster. Today, not so much. They're roster is lacking and the fact Cena and Ambrose will both be doing double duty at HIAC proves this.
