As stated in the WON letter posted in the other thread, the originally planned Royal Rumble lineup was:
HHH, HBK, Flair, Jeff Hardy, Carlito, Super Crazy, Khali, Edge, Orton, Masters, Eugene, Big Vis, Taker, Benoit, Kane, Matt Hardy, Booker, Finlay, Chavo, MVP, Tatanka, Helms, Van Dam, Sabu, Punk, Sandman, Dreamer, Holly, Thorn and Striker.
It's safe to say this was all penciled in and more than likely to change (especially HHH), but based on what you see here, what would you have changed? Who would you take out and who would you add?
First off, I would have taken out Khali, Eugene, Viscera, Tatanka, Striker and maybe even Flair.
Guys I would have expected to see are Kennedy (instead of the title match), Kenny Dykstra, Johnny Nitro and Knox. Other new guys like Burke, Terkay, or, dare I say it, the Miz. It would even be fun to see Londrick in there just for the possible bumps they would take upon elimination (see: London in 2005).

You can't take Khali out, the whole point of the rumble would be completely lost if you did that.

Londrick vs Blue Bloods for the Tag title.
maybe Nitro vs Dykstra for the IC title (it's the only way i can explain them not being in already)
Then the three title matches and keep the Rumble as is really, nice big selection of people from all brands, including alot of maybe winners to keep kids guessing.
However, where are the suprise/legend entries?

wait, why would Nitro/Kenny NOT be in the Rumble? i think they're more important than Eugene/Viscera will ever be for the rest of their careers
i almost wish the Hardyz had never reunited and they'd end up in the Rumble match at the same time, eyes meet, and tear it up

See 2003 and maybe 2001. figures, lol.. that's around the timeframe i wasn't watching WWE anymore. i wasn't even aware they had been split up while in the WWE, i just thought Jeff was let go while on his binge.

Yeah seriously whoever takes out Khali would be MADE on that night, though it would probably be the Brothers of Destruction. DUDE i must see this Royal Rumble if the Brothers of Destruction are entrants.

Here's what the 30 should logically look like, barring any suprise entrants that would replace lower-card guys like Super Crazy, Matt Striker, or The Miz:
Carlito Edge Jeff Hardy Johnny Nitro Kenny Dykstra Randy Orton Ric Flair Shawn Micheals Super Crazy The Great Khali
Chavo Guerrero Jr. Chris Benoit Fit Finlay Kane King Booker Matt Hardy Montel Vontavious Porter The BoogeyMan (or Helms if WWE doesn't trust Boogey to take an over-the-ropes bump) The Miz The Undertaker
CM Punk Elijah Burke Hardcore Holly Kevin Thorn Matt Striker Rob Van Dam Sabu Sylvester Terkay The Sandman Tommy Dreamer
Based on that WON list, these people apparently getting title shots, so not in the Rumble: Umaga Test Ken Kennedy

Punk will not be in the Rumble so he can lose to Bob Holly in a singles match again.

Here's how I'd go, with 9 for each show and 3 mysteries
RAW
1 - HBK 2 - Flair 3 - Edge 4 - Orton 5 - Umaga 6 - Super Crazy 7 - Carlito 8 - Kenny 9 - Khali Mystery - Vader (DAMMIT JUST DO IT!)
Smackdown 1 - Booker 2 - Benoit 3 - Finlay 4 - Regal 5 - Taker 6 - Kane 7 - Kennedy 8 - Tatanka 9 - Chavo Mystery - Goldust (After the Rumble put him in a funny program with KING BOOKAH!)
ECW 1 - Stevie 2 - Balls 3 - Dreamer 4 - Sandman 5 - RVD 6 - Sabu 7 - Al Snow 8 - CM Punk 9 - Snitsky Mystery - Terry Funk

I'm not so sure about that, ECW never gets matches on the dual brand shows that aren't either inter-promotional, or for the ECW Title. This is especially unlikely considering the Rumble card is usually only like 4 or 5 matches. 3 of which will be World Title matches. The Women's Title will probably also be defended at the Rumble, so thats 4 there.
