This Year's Kane: Ryback will eliminate the most folks. When will he enter? 3MB will at one point be the only three people standing (either everyone is on the ground OR they are the only ones in the ring), and Ryback's music will hit.
I would be curious who you think will be the BIGGEST name NOT to appear on this PPV (either as a Rumble entrant, or in a different match).
Injured dudes don't count, of course. (Although if you would like to predict whether or not any injured dudes make an appearance at this PPV while still injured....well, you're braver than I, because I don't expect any injured dudes to make an appearance.)

Rey Mysterio, just because nobody seems to know when he'll be back from this family issue that has kept him sidelined.

Please let this one happen! Big difference in depth between this year and last year though, when it was almost 1/3rd joke entrants.
I really hope it's JoMo too
Be jealous. 8)

Ooh.
1. John Cena 2. Sheamus 3. Ryback 4. Randy Orton 5. Dolph Ziggler 6. Daniel Bryan 7. Kane 8-10. The Shield (never said they'd be in it, did they. hmm) 11. Miz 12. Wade Barrett 13. Antonio Cesaro 14. Kofi Kingston 15. R-Truth 16. Heath Slater 17. Drew McIntyre 18. Jinder Mahal 19. Titus O'Neil 20. Darren Young 21. The Great Khali 22. Brodus Clay 23. David Otunga 24. Tensai 25. Zack Ryder 26. Justin Gabriel 27. Primo 28. Epico 29. Jimmy Uso 30. Jey Uso Santino Marella (injured?) Rey Mysterio (absent?) Sin Cara (absent?) Cody Rhodes (work twice?) Damien Sandow (work twice?) Big Show (work twice?) Christian (return?) Mark Henry (return?) Super Secret Surprise Super Secret Surprise
I can picture the "I wasn't in the Rumble :(" tweet from Ryder already, but I'll hedge with Epico.
Longest - Ziggler (#1) being eventually eliminated by Cena, followed by Bryan (#2) after Bryan and Kane eliminate each other and then argue all the way up the ramp and take their frustrations out on Rhodes or Sandow as their number comes up and they make their way to the ring.
Shortest - Slater
Most eliminations - Ryback
Surprise entrants - New Age Outlaws, Morrison, Benjamin, Foley
And I'll add one for consideration
Final 4 - Cena, Ryback, Orton, Sheamus

I really should have made a place for most eliminations. For that, I go with Barrett.
As for a WWE guy not to appear in the Rumble match, I go with Darren Young (he accepts "millions of dollars" from AJ/Dolph so that AJ can get into the Rumble).

Surprise entrants- Christian, Mark Henry, X-Pac, JBL, Josh Matthews (hey, they let the other announcers in the match last year)

#1 or 2 Entrant- Zack Ryder draws #2 and gets tossed out before the next buzzer, because they haven't HAMMERED HOME ENOUGH how much of a loser Zack Ryder is.
#30- Randy Orton
Longest in Rumble- Dolph Ziggler, lasting until the end.
Shortest in Rumble- Sigh...poor Zack Ryder...
Surprise entrants- John Morrison (paving the way for a Miz & Morrison reunion), MVP, Mark Henry.
Diesel Push/Most Eliminations - Ryback, of course, until Mark Henry makes his triumphant return.
Biggest Names Not To Appear - The Shield, who won't officially compete, but will make random hit-and-run attacks to take out guys like Orton and Sheamus.

Gotta be R-Truth, right?
Has he been on a televised professional wrestling show of any kind since TLC?

I'm still laughing at those tights with the dragon pointing to itself. If you look at the pic closely, you can see the water dripping from the glass ceilling. :)
