I know, I'm early on this, but this is my favorite ppv each year.
So, over the years the WWE has always thrown wrestlers from the past, and even non-wrestlers into the royal rumble as surprise entrants. Last year's surprise entrant was Diesel. Now last year I popped big when I saw Diesel (because I've watched him all the way back to the terrible Oz and Vinnie Vegas), but realistically, I knew he'd never win it. So my question is this...should the WWE waste valuable rumble spots this year for a cheap pop?
My opinion is no. Every spot should be filled by an active WWE superstar. There should be a lot of entrants who have a realistic chance of winning the rumble. You should be going back and forth on who will win. Now obviously some people just won't win it, ie. Santino Marella, but he's at least an active WWE superstar who contributes each week.
