Royal Rumble Now that it is in the books: The Andre Invitational: Yay or Nay?

Not sure if that's the case, cause they had some promos where they mentioned the trophy would switch hands, which is probably meant literally hence the switching of the trophy from the old winner to the new winner. Not sure though.

No offense, Nero....you know I like you.....but I think you might be thinking too deeply about this.

I'm only overthinking it CAUSE I WANTED MY DAMN GIMMICK BATTLE ROYAL, so I feel entitled to find out the insides and outside of the Andre BR.

Yay if they make it 10 or 15 man, and have actual qualifying matches. Sort of like a cross between King of the ring and a battle royal. One of my favourite wrestlemania moment was Cesaro throwing the big show out(nothing against big show, i like him). it was impressive, but more than that i was just happy Cesaro was getting a well deserved push. That being said i wish they didn't destroy the trophy, i felt kinda bad seeing something made in Andre's honor being thrashed to pieces.

I enjoy battle royals and this is a rather convenient way to get as many people on the card as possible (although like others, I'd really prefer if they limited the number of participants down to ten or fifteen people from here on out), so I'm all for keeping it as an annual thing. However, I suspect it'll end up on the pre-show from now on and while Cesaro using his strength to throw out the Big Show and win was a big Wrestlemania moment for him, I wouldn't expect that kind of thing to happen for someone every year. Truth be told, most battle royals are usually just pointless victories.

As long as you have your reasons...:yay:

That depends. The whole reason for KotR and MITB were to take somebody from relative obscurity and put them into the main event (even if only temporarily) to see how they could get over in that spot. For some (Edge, Punk), it worked and that gave them the chance to have new main event stars (inb4 somebody says something about the pipebomb promo). Other times (Miz), it doesn't work nearly as well. If this is replacing those possibilities, I can see them booking someone to win the Andre Battle Royal every year with the intent of pushing them to an upper-midcard/main event level (even if only temporarily) to see how they do. I think that's likely going to be their intent moving forward.
