1. Royal Rumble spots are by invitation only. I don’t really see the point of this. The point is to prevent wrestlers from just “declaring” on social media. 2. Entrant clock is visible at ALL times. The Rumble usually has comedy moments or surprise entrants which involve a suspension of disbelief when it comes to the time.
Surprise entrants have nothing to do with time and are highly encouraged. Comedy moments also encouraged just get it down before the time is up.3. Eliminations can ONLY be done by legal participants. As annoying as that can be, its usually done to set up a story.
Believe it or not…Storylines can be setup within the confines of the ring!4. Eliminations occur when a wrestler goes Over the Top rope and loses control of the top rope AND the wrestlers feet leave the outside apron. (So if their feet leave the outside apron they can only still be legally in the Rumble if they are hanging onto the top rope ie. HBK) See answer one.
The point to this rule is the prevent the Kofi moments that have jumped the shark. 3 of them were entertaining.5. Entrants must enter the ring before the next entrant or they are dq’d. How often does that actually occur though?
Rarely, but if a wrestler drew #1 why enter the ring at all?6. Entrants have 10 seconds to reenter the ring if they are forcibly removed from the ring other than being eliminated or they are dq’d. Pointless.The point to this one is a wrestler is thrown through the ropes and incapacitated for more than 10sec they should be seeking medical treatment. If they are thrown through the ropes and are just buying time why enter back into the ring at all?7. If an entrant voluntarily leaves the ring on their own by any means they are eliminated. See answer five.
Very often. Too often. It’s the Royal RUMBLE not the Royal Run and Hide.
The Rumble is a simple concept. Your feet touch the floor, you're eliminated. Theres no need to be adding extra rules. |

The point is to prevent wrestlers from just “declaring” on social media. So what? Like really, so what? Surprise entrants have nothing to do with time and are highly encouraged. Comedy moments also encouraged just get it down before the time is up. Some surprise entrants haven’t been in a ring in some time and choose to take their time to soak it all in. Sometimes the 90 seconds isn’t enough to create said moment. Like when Enzo had to psyche himself up while Brock was in the ring waiting for him.Believe it or not…Storylines can be setup within the confines of the ring! And they can happen outside of it too! A more personal and heated story can be made if an elimination like that occurs. Like when Angle eliminated Michaels in the 2005 Rumble. The point to this rule is the prevent the Kofi moments that have jumped the shark. 3 of them were entertaining. I’m sick of those moments too but you don’t have a specific rule in order to prevent fun moments like that. Rarely, but if a wrestler drew #1 why enter the ring at all? Sounds smart to me. Ideal move for a heel.The point to this one is a wrestler is thrown through the ropes and incapacitated for more than 10sec they should be seeking medical treatment. If they are thrown through the ropes and are just buying time why enter back into the ring at all? Ten seconds isn’t that long to require medical treatment if all you’ve done is get thrown out…Very often. Too often. It’s the Royal RUMBLE not the Royal Run and Hide. Heel tactics, makes sense to me.You’re over complicating something that didn’t need to be. |

If in 1989 I suggested the Rumble be 30 entrants instead of the 20 in 1988 you’d say I was over complicating and saturating the ring with lower card talent. |

There’s a big difference between adding more people and creating a rule to prevent Kofi spots… I was fine with the 40 man Rumble anyway. |

The only thing I want is a full house rumble, but with the amount of superstars left there’s only a handful of talent that even have the possibly of being chosen to win. 90% of the roster are jobbers and sadly haven’t been built because the there’s only like 4-6 talents the show goes around. Imagine a royal rumble within the Monday Night wars with both WCW and WWF talent. So many superstars to choose from and you probably wouldn’t be able to predict who’d win.

My only gripes are that people that usually come in toward the end usually win. Yes, there are examples when that's not the case. But still, it's dumb. And if you're going to bring someone back, like Cena did, don't bring them back last. Stop trying to write the Rumble into a story. Just have the damn match. And, Miro Avatar Guy, I want one less Womens Rumble every year.  |

You had everyone from Kane, Undertaker, Shawn( if you include him),Kurt,Big Show, Hardyz etc… Anyone of those guys could be a probable winner imo… Now going back to my scenario imagine a Monday Night Wars rumble with Stone Cold, Undertaker, Kane, The Rock, Sting, Goldberg, the nWo etc. Who would win that rumble? |

It would depend on the storylines going in, who the champion was, and what the WrestleMania main event was going to be. It’s fine to fantasise about or play on 2K, but if it ever happened in reality, all those egos involved at the same time wouldn’t have worked. Wrestler X would refuse to be eliminated by Wrestler Y, the proposed finish wouldn’t work for Wrestler Z, etc. The politics would be in play even more when it’s inter promotional. Realistically, no adults watching a Rumble are considering Kane, Scott Hall, Big Show, the Hardy Boyz, Booker T, Rob Van Dam, DDP, Rikishi, X-PAC, Bossman, the Dudleys, Test etc as realistic contenders for a Rumble win. During Nitro’s entire lifespan, the only Rumble that had more than two serious candidates to win (or where someone outside the top two won) was 1997. And that was only because everything was up in the air about WrestleMania plans. |

If I were to have suggested Champions from other companies should be surprise entrants in this years Royal Rumble you would have said both companies should be able to promote the appearance for the weeks prior and they owe the fans nothing. |

That’s the third time you’ve assumed something I’d say. It was tacky the first time and it’s still tacky the third. |

If I suggested theme music for each entrant before the 1996 Royal Rumble you would have said you wanted to watch a wrestling match and not a rock concert. |

If I suggested a Saturday Royal Rumble you’d all say “iF iT’s noT BRokE DoN’t fiX iT!”
The Rumble is broken, I seem to be the only one trying to fix it.

New rule:
Everyone in the mens Rumble should have a mustache. No other facial hair. Just a mustache. Can’t grow one? Get your ass back to catering.
I will be keeping track of mustaches.

I'll do you one better:
1. Start with SIXTY men but only thirty can enter the match, so they have to race to the ring from all over the arena and have an inside-out battle royal to begin with.
2. Every eight minutes, they are all electrocuted.
3. It's harder because they all have to wear someone else's gear and it might not fit properly.
4. The final twelve have to eat a bowl of pasta before continuing.
5. It's in a cage.
