1. Zack Ryder 2. Alex Riley They have a stare down and point at the WrestleMania sign. Instead of trying to throw each other out, They spend the first two minutes chain wrestling and/or doing "indyriffic high spots" to each other and the crowd starts chanting THIS IS AWESOME! ... not sure what's the most unrealistic aspect of this scenario. that Zack and Alex would be in the royal rumble. that they would be put in the opening spots to set the pace that two people that are not technical wrestlers would suddenly do a chain wrestling spot that they'd be able to do it well enough for the crowd to actually react to it. As depleted as the roster is at the moment, there's really no excuse for anyone to not be in the Rumble (or on the Rumble card in general). Pretty much every wrestler on the roster is a better worker than their presentation on TV would suggest. Every wrestler has some knowledge of chain wrestling, even if they aren't Benoit/Malenko levels of "wrestling machine". Also the fact that you and others think that they "suck" means that people's expectations have been lowered enough that they'd be pleasantly surprised if Zack or A-Ry pulled off something as basic as an armdrag. Also bringing out two lower guys, sets the tone for someone like Rusev or Strowman to come out and eliminate them.

Nowhere did I say I think they suck.
You read into that on your own. I said they aren't technical wrestlers.
Because they aren't. It's not their strong suit.

If they want to totally kill the crowd:
The first ten or so entries are LoN and other authority cronies (Kane, Big Show, Road Dogg etc.) doing nothing to each other,then Reigns comes in after about 20 minutes of nothing happening in the ring, only to "overcome the odds" and eliminating most of them within a couple of minutes. He continues to dominate the Rumble, being alone in the ring when the countdown for #30 hits. HHH enters and eliminates Reigns within a minute or so, becoming new Champion.

I think they are underrated talents who got a bad hand and should be better off than they are now.

I believe he is better or at least equally good in the ring compared to everyone else in the lower card except for maybe the Lucha Dragons and Kidd. He's good enough to at least be Wheel of Aggression fodder. The reason why I'm bothered by his lack of push is because they don't even let him be just that and don't let him do "fun" stuff that other low card guys get to do.

Reflexively I thought Miz at 1, he talks some shit for a while, then Ryback comes out at 2 and just starts kicking the shit out of him for the two minutes or whatever till number 3, whoever is feuding with The Ryback at that point, comes out and unintentionally saves Miz.
Have Miz Ric Martel it where he doesn't get close to winning, but he's in there for a long time, constantly getting the hell beat out of him, yet escaping. Even have him eliminate a couple of dudes that have been beating on him.
Hell, have him at some point sneakily eliminate The Ryback.
