Wait its a 30 man battle royal? That seems odd. Kinda takes away from the rumble a bit no?

And if its 30 men, why the **** are they making it a big deal that superstars are announcing their participation on Smackdown and Raw? Everybody is gonna be in it lol.

It's a battle royal to get talent a WM payday and exposure. Maybe a WM moment for a few. It is what it is.

This next comment is in no way directed towards you.

Too much bitching for the sake of bitching around these parts lately. Says a lot considering the amount of complaining that normally happens here.

I Wouldn't expect less on a message board.

Not that much different than this time last year I know that much.

It also allows for better individual showings from people they may not want to feature in WM Singles action to gauge reactions/future pushes. I don't think Cesaro is quite there where he should be featured in a Mania singles match yet (in terms of character development. His in-ring work is unparalleled.) I'd expect a pretty strong showing from him. At the very least, something to further his singles career (be it Swagger eliminating him quickly, if he doesn't have a strong showing. Or a win.) Plus future talent.

If it's a traditional battle royal where all 30 guys start in the ring at once, I can't see it going more than 20 minutes without completely losing the interest of the audience

Wish WWE would try something like WCW did with the double ring battle royal. Not wrestlewar but the one from 1989.

I'm excited for the Andre Battle Royal. Awesome to have a memorial match for the big guy.

I believe that Andre never lost a battle royal he was in, or at least that's what they always touted.

-He lost in the royal rumble 1990 when Warrior eliminated him

- He also was thrown out by like 10 guys in a SNME back in 1987 during a Battle royal that Hercules won
