So the word went out that this year’s Royal Rumble match will bump up the number of participants from the usual thirty to the big fat FORTY Superstars. That means more filler than ever before. Hurray.
I would probably reserve judgment until the actual Rumble match itself and assume that this is just a one-off thing to see if it would work. I don’t really see it taking off, though. Would they have enough talent to fill all the slots?
Look, the Royal Rumble match has worked just fine with thirty guys. And in all honesty, a few of them could be hard to sit through… like the 1999 Royal Rumble, for example. You know, the one that Vince McMahon won. Why bother adding another ten guys who don’t have a fucking chance in hell of winning to the mix?
