Why aren't Rock and Austin in the Rumble?

[Guest rawmvp]

Rock is healthy and Austin wouldn't have to take any bumps, save his exit over the top rope.

 

Same goes for Foley.

Rock - hollywood hype work still. No need to take another guy's spot

 

Austin - too crippled and out of shape. No need to take another guys spot

 

Foley - Retired/unrelated fueding. No need to take another guy's spot.

 

 

 

Stick to LSD.

cliched fantasies?

[Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye]

why ask here?

They're better off. At least now the WWE can market the guys who are their true stars, instead of relying on old "star power".

[Lil' Bitch]

Austin isn't in the RR. Thank God.

Why isn't Bret Hart in the rumble? and Warrior?

 

Same goes for Iron Shiek...

I think while they do want to have Rock, Foley and Austin all return to the ring at some point or another, I think they'd prefer to have heavy promotion for it rather than a suprise entrant in the Rumble. Those three are of a pretty high calibre and are too big to be suddenly entered into the Rumble with little promotion.

 

And if you mean promote them like they are for Billy Gunn, again I would put that as a bad idea because there could be no way for them to win an then it's essentially a waste because you can bring them back far more effectively at a later date.

I don't think The Rock or Steve Austin in the Rumble would do ANY favours.

[Guest Dynamite Kido]

Why should they be? None of them are full time members of the active roster.

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

Why take an ACTUAL wrestler's spot?

[k thx]

Plus, the PPV doesn't need a short spot from Austin, Rock or Foley to pop the buyrate. The rumbles itself will do that. Best save their return to the ring for an actual match at annother PPV.
