Come to think of it, there is one contender that has been left out of the loop here. Rey Mysterio would make an EXCELLENT challenger to the belt at WrestleMania 21.
Even if he doesn't win, the fans will be behind him, and he can make the WWE Championship look "out of reach" which is something that the WWE hasn't been doing lately.
It's not like it wouldn't make sense either. Rey Mysterio has beaten a former WWF and WCW Champion (the two titles that make up the WWE Championship) in Kevin Nash, who has had a very similair reign to JBL, not to mention is bigger than Bradshaw. He'd also have the tournament under his belt, which give shim an extra world of credibility.
Another idea is that they have Eddie Guerrero "injure" Booker T, and have him take his spot in the tournament. Eddie goes on to win, and aggressively beats JBL at WrestleMania. This sets up Eddie as a dominant and angry heel WWE Champion. The first-time Eddie wins the title its a fairy tale, the second-time it's an obsessive nightmare.
I still think Guerrero would make one of the greatest heel World Champions of all time.
