Kofi has jumped to the barricade, run around it, and jumped on the stairs
Kofi has done a handstand and walked back to the ring
Kofi has (iirc) used an announcers chair to get back in the ring after landing on the table

I hear this year he's gonna cut off his right foot so he can't ever be eliminated

Is it possible for the NAO to actually go over tonight? Have to get to the Cody/Goldust WM match somehow.

Nao makes sense as transitional champs to the usos and allowing Cody to get pushed as singles guy again

Old Age Outlaws getting a tag title shot is super ridiculously lulzaids. Hopefully Billy Gunn gets a "you never had it" chant.

It would be hilarious if Warrior decided to shoot and eliminated the scheduled winner of the match. I'm kind of surprised something like that has never happened. Along the same note, I'm surprised that the scheduled winner of the match has never accidentally been eliminated.

Batista/Cena in the mid 00s is the closest this has ever come to happening. That was easy to fix since both guys went out last. I'm talking about a guy clearly being eliminated in the middle of the match.

Ultimate Warrior would be a perfect surprise entrant imo.

Macho eliminated himself like an idiot in '92 when he was meant to be a key player in the final 4 showdown with Sid, Flair and Hogan. So they let him back in.

Predictions:

Ambrose/Rollins are an absolute stone lock for #2.
Batista not getting a number any lower than #23
Punk to make it past #30
Fandango to have a comedy elimination.

Although it was part of the script, Macho was involved in the all time AIDS finish to the all time AIDS Royal Rumble. Nothing even comes remotely close to being as awful of a finish.

Also, look at the participants in the 1992 vs. 1993 Rumbles. Such an amazing change in just one year.

Thanks Gorilla!

'93-96 are abysmal. '94's probably the most dramatic of them. HBK won the worst two.

Hmm. Just looked it up on a wet website and the river seems to start floating at 23:00 here, not 1am as someone suggested. Is there some kind of two hour pre show on it?
