8 Rules WWE MUST implement for the 2023 Royal Rumbles! +more

Agree.

If it ain't broken...

The WWE MUST:

1.  Place random land mines all over the entrance way to assure that some of your favorites won't make it to the ring.  

2.  The winner has to buy everyone in the back their choice of either a 7 layer burrito from Taco Bell or a Regular roast beef from Arbys.

3.  Pants?  No way!

4.  Every entrant needs to do that thing with the baseball bat where they spin around it to make them dizzy before getting in the ring.

5.  Everyone do a shot when Kofi does his usual trying to get back in the ring in an interesting way, do two shots if he fails again.

6.  The last person eliminated gets hung.

1 entrant needs to ride down to the ring on a zamboni or Brock Lesnar's tractor for no particular reason..

A later entrant needs to outshine the previous entrant by pulling off Shawn Michaels' classic zipline wrestlemania entrance during the match, causing a huge spectacle and taking the focus off the match and onto his fantastic entrance as he creates a "MOMENT". It finishes after a minute or two with him finally lowering into the ring and awaiting in his opponents arms ready to throw him out in a team effort for dramatic affect, kinda like that famous fan man who landed in the middle of the ring and disrupted a boxing match all them years ago..

Would give me personally so much incentive to win the rumble or at the very least be the last person eliminated. Last thing I want to do on this earth is be forced to eat a roast beef sandwich from Arbys.

This is a yearly thread. It usually devolves into fighting so I usually don’t reply, but WTH.

There’s always been showbiz wizardry in the match, but it hasn’t been presented as a legitimate sporting event in MANY years. The first celebrity entrant ruined that forever. It’s just a silly tv event with some serious moments now. They’re never going to implement rules that make it more legitimate, that would be far too limiting.

That said, most of those rules are pretty good, if not flawed. The entrant timer has been inaccurate since the 80s. It was never every two minutes, I think Dick Ebersol came up with that idea so that the match didn’t drag.

The both feet hitting the floor thing works if they want to do the tie ending a la Luger and Bret or Cena and Batista. That said, if they were going to make it losing contact with the ring they should’ve done that the year after Lawler was hopping around on one foot to avoid elimination. The refs are all presented as morons anyway so nothing will change that now.

I can’t stand the entrances. I’m all for a horn, no music, and the person coming out with a light jog or power walk. They’ll never do that because now they’re addicted to the crowd pops for the music hitting.

I am glad there are two rumbles now because I was never for the women in the men’s rumble. The Beth Phoenix kiss elimination on the Punjabi Playboy was a complete joke spot, and Nia attacking Truth to steal his spot was lame even though I popped when she ate the RKO.

The Rumble is what it is now, for better or worse. It’s a fun, silly, and relatively predictable event that is used as a tool to further established storylines. Eliminate logic from your mind and you’ll enjoy the Rumble (and televised wrestling in general) a lot more.

Appears so. I’ve learned this month that most active members on this forum are all previously banned members with new accounts. 🤣🤣

How many violations did you find? Embarrassing Royal Rumble, WWE is just mailing it in. Sad what the product has become.
