The Royal Rumble to Add 10 More Entrants

This morning Joey Styles made the announcement that this year's Royal Rumble match will add 10 more participants to the match.  Naturally, this became the biggest topic in the wrestling news and there were various opinions.  It was discussed if it will help or hurt it.
The match will still stick with the 90 second intervals, and as a result the match will be roughly an hour.  Will adding 10 more wrestlers that really have no shot of winning it dilute the field?  Some think so.  I personally think the more the merrier.  Every year, this is the event I look forward to the most.  It's the most fun match to watch, and let's face it we usually don't want it to end.  Sure, Yoshi Tatsu and Zack Ryder won't win it, we all know that.  But I personally like to see the lower to mid card people get their shot.    Would a Royal Rumble be as fun if it was all the serious big bad main event players?  No.  You need the comedy parts.  And who didn't get excited to see RVD made a one time appearance two years ago?  And instead of thinking about if it's going to hurt the match, think about the 10 extra guys that get that PPV paycheck.
Most importantly, just sit back and enjoy the match.  We can all sit here and say if it's going to improve or devalue the match.  But how can you judge something that hasn't happened yet?
