It has a good balance of main eventers and mid-card wrestlers. It looks to be a good Royal Rumble.
Plus, I have no idea who could win it, unlike last years when it was obvious either Rey or Triple H would come out on top.

So far we got:
-3 former Rumble Winners - SEVEN making their Rumble debuts - 12 former World champs (counting ECW too)
Decent mix.

I think it's awesome, who would have thought in 1997 that we'd see a Royal Rumble with guys like Dreamer, Sandman, and Sabu in it. I know it's a stretch but I'd really like to see Dreamer be one of the longer lasting guys in this years Rumble.

I should have mentioned that, IMHO, the only real jobber of the bunch is Viscera. Everyone else is midcard or higher, or at least involved in some kinda storyline right now.
edit* The sad thing is, at least one of these guys will be a candidate for the Bushwacker record. There has to be one, there's always one. And except for Viscera, I don't want to see anyone in there for less than two minutes.

With no real reason behind it, just that it popped in my mind, the first thing that comes to mind looking at that line up is the 2002 Rumble.
I like it.

I think it's a good line-up. The first time in a while where the winner is not obvious, ooh the intrigue.

It's a very decent balance. Viscera seems pretty pointless to have a spot, considering Burke and/or Turkay (and others) aren't...yet. *coughnumber21needstowincough*

I'd get rid of Big Vis, but they need the 'fat guy everyone teams up on' spot in there. On paper, it looks like a really good Rumble. I'm excited.

Kevin Thorn and Visecra are the only two I think should be eliminated. I think it'll be a decent Rumble match-up, but I'm still going w/ Orton to win.

More pure midcard and even undercard - yet recognizable - guys wouldn't hurt. Thorn and Vis are decent entries, as are Striker (still hasn't been added to the list yet?!) and, in a way, Dreamer.

Just like every Rumble, there's going the be the usual. The low/mid-carders who will get a chance to shine and show off, and the usual who will lose, the possible winners (Benoit, Undertaker, Orton, HBK, etc)

I'm thinking Orton will win, but I don't mind at this point, since I'm starting to like Orton.
I'm not sure WHY I like Orton now, but there you go.
Randy Orton is eleventy billion times better than Rey Mysterio as champion, anyways.

I still say Helms should be in it.
As for the rest, I'll be happy as long as Chavo, Punk, Matt Hardy and MVP all have good runs. They don't need to win; just look strong.
