Alberto was constantly overhyped. He wasn’t a surprise at all.

I still can't believe they have never done this spot:
>Only 2 people left in ring before number 30
>They double eliminate each other
>Number 30 comes out to instant win without having to do anything
Not sure who gets it but it would be mega heat parading around as the winner without actually having to earn it. It would instantly make a career. Perhaps Mjf surprise debut in this way, he would be perfect.

It could be brilliant with an injured babyface who can't compete and writes himself into spot 30 anyway and wins without having to fight as the heels throw each other out of the ring in tandem.

Even when Brock was throwing everyone out almost immediately, they couldn't eliminate people fast enough to do that and they have already done the thing where the "last" two people eliminate each other and it turns out edge wasn't actually eliminated, so he just gets back in the ring and wins without really earning it.

They should just get rid of a cap on the amount of entrants. Before the match they should just announce how many people entered in the match and we go off of that. This would fix the wasted spot problem and still allow it to get serious towards the end.

Again, everyone predicted all these. They were favorites (odds). I think OP is looking for Joe Hendry winning or Roxanne from NXT.

I was surprised when Benoit won but looking back it was kinda obvious he was gonna win if you watched the build on smackdown. I can't remember anyone else in the match that had a story going in.

It unironically should’ve been Santino in 2011.

I’ve said it for years, some low card guy really needs to win this thing at some point to really hammer the “anything can happen” message of the rumble and the sheer chaos that comes from it. Even if they don’t win the Mania match. Someone needs to have the push of a lifetime once through this.

They probably haven't done it because it'd be in bad taste to do it with a babyface and it'd be anticlimactic unless it's a heel that consistently gets lots of heat. Dom is perfect for a spot like that. Nuclear heat as he walks to the ring, soaking it all in, and even teasing getting in the ring for a while would be based as fuck.
