In terms of Rumbles I enjoyed watching when they happened, 2012 has held up the worst. You had seven mystery entrants (Ricardo Rodriguez, Kharma, Lawler, Booker, Cole, Duggan, Road Dogg), a previously announced special appearance from Foley, and Ziggler and Big Show were in despite having world title opportunities earlier in the show.
But when you look at the other 20 entrants, there are just so many nondescript undercard guys. Alex Riley, Justin Gabriel, Primo and Epico, David Otunga, early Jinder Mahal, and Jey Uso but not Jimmy Uso.
The surprise entrants were fun in the moment, but watching back it really just highlights how weak the roster was at the time.
