my idea for the rumble

[Red 'n' Black Reggie]

now i dont mean the following in any way a sarcastic tone. i genuinely believe this would be great.

have kane come in as number 1, and stevie richards as number two. stevie gets fed to kane, but kane chooses to toy with him rather than eliminate him. anyway, the rumble progresses, and as it goes on, stevie keeps getting beaten up by all the huge blokes, but he doesnt get eliminated. eventually, he makes a comeback, and almost wins. obviously, they arent gonna have stevie win it, but if he could spend the whole rumble trying to prove himself, the fans could really get behind him. if he won it would be better, but you cant be too greedy.

any other ideas on any "internal storylines", like when kane was eliminating everyone, or when rey and tripsy stayed in together the whole time, which could work this year?

I'm sick of seeing people go the distance. It totally destroys the luck of the draw concept. We've had what three #1s win and Flair Won at #3. I hate it.

The Royal Rumble used to always have two winners. The last man in the ring, and the man who stayed in the longest. But that has been lost with too many people goin the distance. They should stop doing that.

This kinda happened a couple years ago. Following the release of the Rise and Fall of ECW, there was a battle royal on Raw for some reason I can't remember. Stevie had a big role in the DVD, so it's as if McMahon thought he should throw Richard's name out for once. So at the beginning of the battle royal, he says "anyone could win, even stevie richards."

Stevie went on to be in the final four or so, before being eliminated. The announcers kept saying that he could actually win the entire time up to that point.

I agree, I'm tired of it as well.

Mind you I don't want to see any more Brock Lesnar type wins with people coming out super late...but I'd rather someone that enters in the teens win this time.
