I'm going to take a wild stab at the match:

John Bradshaw Layfield vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Evan Bourne vs. John Morrison vs. Carlito vs. Mr. Kennedy vs. Vladimir Kozlov

To me, this seems to make the most sense right now. JBL is not going to face The Undertaker at WrestleMania, and he's really got nothing better to do. He doesn't really suit a Ladder Match, but he could work some good spots in, and there are plenty of guys to cover for him. You also need some former World Champions in there to really make it look like a "main event" match, and not just a bunch of mid-carders scrapping for a shot they don't deserve.

For such a high-flyer, Rey Mysterio has been in surprisingly few Ladder Matches. I'm surprised he hasn't been in MITB yet, and he's really got nothing better to do for Mania. He always makes a good face foil for JBL, too.

Kofi Kingston seems like a perfect fit for this year's match. He's a rising star, and he got screwed out of his World Heavyweight Title shot at No Way Out. What better way for him to avenge himself than earning the right to challenge the World Heavyweight Champion whenever he wants.

Evan Bourne is just a perfect fit for the match. He'll probably be this year's MVP (not Montel; most valuable). Well, he, John Morrison and Kofi Kingston would probably be slugging it out for the spot.

I can't see the WWE having John Morrison & The Miz vs. The Colons at WrestleMania, anymore. I don't know why. Instead, I see John Morrison beating Primo in a MITB qualifying match, and Carlito beating The Miz. Maybe Primo and The Miz can work a dark match against each other, or something? A DVD exclusive match between those two could be pretty good.

I'm sure I read that Mr. Kennedy would be healthy in time for WrestleMania. As a former winner, he'd add a lot to the match, and the heat would probably be going strong off his return. There's not really enough time to get him a proper program started.

Vladimir Kozlov is a pick I don't like, but where else is he going to be? I wouldn't mind it if the WWE left him off the card, but I can't see that happening. The lug will probably get some segments to tear people apart, and look like a machine doing it. Like JBL, he's also got people to cover for him.
