I stick to Roddy Piper "There ain't no rules, chuck 'em over the top rope".
That over the top rope/both feet hit the floor is the only necessary standard to the staggered battle royal, imo.

If both feet or your entire freakin' back hit the floor, you're out.

Change the rules, eh? Okay, so instead of everyone throwing each other out of the ring... everyone STARTS on the outside, right? And then you gotta keep your opponent from getting into the ring! More? Okay. After a certain number of people make it into the ring, then they have to be thrown OUT of the ring! You’re drooling, this sounds great I know, but like a 3 course fondue dinner it gets better: when there are only 2 men left? Winner is decided by PINFALL or SUBMISSION. It’s money. Call it the Russo Rumble

Honestly, and this might be an unpopular opinion, the only rule I would change is that the winner gets a title match at -- or headlines -- Wresltemania.
While the idea is fine in theory, in practice it's stupid because they let just about anybody enter. If it was legit competition, there is no way 0-200 Curt Hawkins should be getting an opportunity at a title shot. And what has No Way Jose done to deserve shot at headlining Wrestlemamia? Jeez, think back to those years people like Michael Cole or Drew Carey entered. Why would WWE even want to chance a non-wrestler headlining their biggest show of the year?
Maybe if there was some way to rank the current active roster and only let the top 30 enter based on ranking order, but even then, again, if this was real competition, there's only a handful of wrestlers WWE would trust to headline. Why would they leave such a big decision like that to basically chance?
Yes, I realize guys like Curt and Jose are there for fun, but this stipulation bugs me. Give the winner a trophy or belt or bragging rights for the year instead. Bonus, it also makes guessing the winner a little more unpredictable, because anyone could pull off a surprise win.

They really need to do away with all the people sleeping through a match. If I want to see someone nap for 85% of a match, I'll just go watch any multi-man match that Brock is in.

It was worth it this time, to see Kacy Catanzaro's ridiculous display of athleticism, but I agree it's definitely a case of diminishing (and increasingly silly) returns.
I also have to side-eye the WWE because they apparently thought the best woman to start doing Kofi spots was Naomi, and then Ember Moon did one this year too.
But I think they need to amend the rules to, 'when you hit the floor, you're out'.

Referees have leather-straps, and act as lumberjacks. You're eliminated, they whip you back to the dressing room.

I've always felt they should change the title shot to the Raw following Mania. It would really open it up so anybody could win.

I think you should be eliminated if you don't enter the ring before the next entrant comes out.
BUT, I love the both feet must hit the floor rule.
I look forward to Kofi each year. I loved Kasy's spot. Its fun, and I think the performers enjoy and coming up with the ideas.
And imagine the '95 Rumble without the both feet must hit the floor.

I keep watching these dumb spots and yelling at the TV "Just hop back to the ring you idiots!"

can we also get a count out for people who are thrown between the ropes and sleep on the announcers' table? cause I'm sick of those spots.
