I suppose this list doesn't begin to take in the entertainment factor. Ted DiBiase in 2009 for example? The three Legacy members stalking the ring did make for a great visual though.
I'd like to draw attention to Rikishi's booking in the 2000 Royal Rumble. He had some momentum anyway, but his running through the early entrants got the crowd behind him in a big way. When was the last time you heard a crowd audibly gasp for Viscera's entrance, and the prospect of him going up against Phatu?
