Orton's Rumble win wouldn't look so impressive if he threw Kofi out last.
don't agree, as in both a storyline and smart world, Orton was always going to win in a 3 on 1 situation.
However re Kofi, he was the ONLY person that came to mind as far as someone who hadn't been world champion, who was anywhere near the position to be in there at the end (and lets face it, the elimination chamber at NWO will probably be the closest he ever comes to a world title), you could have thrown MVP there, but you needed a face in that position
That speaks volumes at how awful they have been at having a mid card since the brand split, as there are a grand total of NO faces to pull the trigger on and put even anywhere near the main event scene.
That was something I felt hurt the Rumble, it was very much a THEM and US - Big names/ + Rhodes & Dibiase (big by association) vs the rest
