I do, I wish they'd take advantage of it more.

I like it. It's not as good as the old Ric Flair trick of rolling under the ropes and chilling outside for a while though.

Zach Gowan would dominate the Royal Rumble.

I like it but I wish they didn't feel the need to shoehorn in a spot using it in near every battle royal and Rumble.

The Flair spot of "roll outside and relax" works every time out, it builds heel heat. The "skin the cat" bit seems like a luck spot. Overuse it, and it becomes expected, which is the opposite of what you want from it.

It's fine, but it's a lazy rule.
What's stopping someone from hopping on one leg over to the guardrail and just waiting there?
Then again, it's just like the "under the rope" rule, which everyone should implement to their advantage.
Both rules would otherwise be totally fine, if there was like a 10 count once you're on the outside, and it would make you vulnerable once you're reentering.

I still like the Jerry The King Lawler idea, hide under the ring

Zach Gowan would dominate the Royal Rumble. Just throw the artificial one after him at the floor once you've thrown him out. Problem solved.

I think it should only count if you're still in contact with the ring somehow (like HBK was). Although saying that I did like Morrison hanging onto the guard rail.

Absolutely. If you're standing on the ground or have "both feet touch", it makes for a good, solid way to say "you're eliminated".

No it's stupid. If you get thrown out flat on your back but somehow manage to keep a foot aloft - IMO you're still eliminated. It's just the cause of rather hokey and painfully obvious non-elimiation teaser spots. Soon the criteria will include both feet, each arse cheek while receipting the pigeon English version of the Lord's prayer while spinning around looking up at the sky balancing a broom handle on your nose. You're thrown out - you're thrown out. Never mind all this feet business.

One wish I had involving this was in the 2012 Royal Rumble, when Hunico entered. My hope was that Hunico would be caught by Camacho, put on the bicycle, and ride around the ring on his bicycle while still not being eliminated. And since he was a heel, I'd probably have a baby face run under the bottom rope, jump Camacho, and simply push Hunico over to officially eliminate him.

They should just have the Rumble proceed with Yakety Sax playing on loop.

You're thrown out - you're thrown out. Never mind all this feet business. that's not the rule though. A guy who landed on his back with both feet sticking up you'd still be out. It's the same as the catch rule in the NFL. I mean if the feet don't matter why not just declare that if you go over the top rope you're out. And from there if your opponent can lift you off your feet above the top rope

I thought Kofi Kingston should have just waited at the announce table that one year. Make someone come get him.
