More on Rey Mysterio’s WrestleMania Plans, Rumble News

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

- This year's Royal Rumble in Boston was a sellout with 15,113 fans announced, 12,000 paying for $850,000.

- This year's Rumble 40-Man match actually went 69 minutes and 11 seconds, just 11 seconds short from the 69 minutes and 22 second record set in 2002.

- As noted before, Rey Mysterio is expected to be a part of Money in the Bank this year at WrestleMania, unless they decide to drop the match from the show. WWE officials are going back and forth on putting Rey in Money in the Bank or a singles match with Cody Rhodes.

Ah, finally an answer to what Rumble match was the longest. Anyways, I'm still a bit shocked that it wasn't the longest, but it wasn't by much so I probably shouldn't be.

Personally, I'd rather have Rey versus Rhodes. They took Rhodes off the Rumble for this storyline, they should at least give him his Mania match against Rey. I suppose he could also be in Money in the Bank but that's just not the same. Especially since Rhodes seems to me like one of the guys who wouldn't really take the spotlight in that kind of match. He could prove me wrong, but I doubt it since I actually can't see him competing in MITB this year. So yeah, out of the two, I'm pulling for Rey vs. Rhodes.

2002 Rumble was the longest? Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet. That was the first Rumble I ever ordered and watched, took a day off school to do it too.

Also the 40 Man Rumble should be 25% longer than all the other rumbles dammit!!!
