Despite what they have said in the past and will likely tell you this year, #1 is not the worst possible number to draw. It's actually tied with #2 as the worst possible draw. There is no inherent advantage to having #2 over #1 since both start off the match on equal footing. The only way #1 would be the worst number is if #1 gets beaten with a sack of doorknobs before #2 enters. #1 has a disadvantage because they have to be demoralized by standing around watching #2's full entrance! You know what? Sure, I can buy that. ;D Beats any excuse WWE has given, or hasn't.

Actually if you really nitpick it #2 is the worst number. #1 gets to rest in the ring while #2 makes his way down to the ring.

Plus he can kick the other one in the head when he slides through the ropes. I want Orton to be in the rumble and punt someone before the even fully get into the ring. Just have their head tucked under the ropes.

*Drew Carey and Kane are the only 2 Stars to Eliminate themselves from the Rumble Andre in 89. And no, neither Jake nor Damien touched Andre, so they don't get credit for it.
