No one's ever won as #30, have they? Statistically, you have a better chance of winning being the #1 entrant.

I'd like to see number 30 win by default, entering the ring after the last two guys have eliminated each other.

Because, in kayfabe, you don't have to go through twenty nine other guys.
The thing is, they usually save the main eventers for the later slots, so it's not really much of an advantage even if you look at it in a pure kayfabe sense.

No one has ever drawn #30 in the Royal Rumble, but some have come close. Ted DiBiase, Mr. Perfect, Randy Savage, The Undertaker, and Randy Orton all drew #30 and were the runner-up of Royal Rumbles.

Spike needs to be recognized as the winner of the 2004 Rumble.

Spike needs to be recognized as the winner of the 2004 Rumble. So should Maven as the winner of the 2002 Rumble. |

Kay-fabe wise, they could explain this away as the number 30 entrant being too cocky.

I never thought of that! That would be so awesome! Expecially if 30 was a surprise entrant. Like Bob Backlund!

I'd like to see number 30 win by default, entering the ring after the last two guys have eliminated each other. I thought about something like that. The last five would be The Miz, MNM and the Hardys. Miz and MNM eliminate the Hardys. This leaves MNM and The Miz. MNM refuses to fight each other so, they jump over the rope and to the floor at the same time and are eliminated. This leaves one man, the winner of the Royal Rumble is The Miz! |

Let's take a look at everyone's downfall (feel free to give your reasons):
1988: Doesn't count since there were only 20.
1989: Dibiase: He did nothing wrong, though the money he spent on the number went to waste.
1990: Mr. Perfect: He was up against a major obstacle: Hogan's ego.
1991: Tugboat: Didn't take his spinach.
1992: Warlord: Hulkamania.
1993: Savage: Pinfalls don't count!
1994: Adam Bomb: As Dibiase said, regarding #30 going out early: "There's no excuse!"
1995: Crush: Shouldn't have been there to begin with.
1996: Duke Droese: Forgot his garbage can. And see Crush.
1997: Undertaker: Wrestled Vader earlier in the night.
1998: Vader: What he said after later losing to Kane: "I'm a fat piece of (crap)," or something like that.
1999: Chyna: No one wanted a girl to win.
2000: Xpac: He was eliminated but snuck in. Instant karma (or something like that).
2001: Rikishi: He tried too hard to do it for the Rock.
2002: Booker T: Shouldn't have done the spinarooni.
2003: Undertaker: Was too worried about his motorcycle parked outside the ring.
2004: Goldberg: Got distracted by Brock
2005: Ric Flair: Tried to eliminate Batista and paid for it.
2006: Randy Orton: Insert poopy joke.

Yea. I think its cool to mix it up, its retarded if the number one or two guy always "overcomes the odds" and wins. |

Why wouldn't they eliminate The Miz first? 2. Heel tag teams have NO problem fighting when the stage is as big as the Rumble. |

One of these days #30 is going to win the Rumble. Speaking of mixing it up, maybe they should have more of the in-between number entrants win. Overcoming the odds is getting old.
