The Interpromotional 24-Man Battle Royal at WrestleMania

**Evil Vito** · 03-17-2008, 10:12 AM

Here's my list of who I think will be in:

1. The Great Khali
2. Kane
3. Chuck Palumbo
4. Jamie Noble
5. Cody Rhodes
6. Hardcore Holly
7. Elijah Burke
8. Big Daddy V
9. Mark Henry
10. Matt Hardy* (see below)
11. Stevie Richards
12. Mike Knox
13. Jimmy Wang Yang
14. Shannon Moore
15. Jesse
16. Festus
17. Snitsky
18. Paul Burchill
19. Lance Cade
20. Trevor Murdoch
21. Tommy Dreamer
22. Colin Delaney
23. Deuce
24. Domino

Yeah, I don't really see any big names in there...and the only surprise entry really is Matt Hardy...and as it is now, its a division of 12 faces and 12 heels for balance. Foley or RVD being in there would be cool, but I just don't see it. The way I see it, this match will be midway through the card and The Miz is slated to be a participant.

However, Miz runs in during MITB (usually the 1st or 2nd match on the card) to try and help Morrison and winds up getting injured and beaten down like everyone else. Later on we see Miz and Morrison ailing backstage, and an interviewer or somebody informs Miz that since he isn't fit to compete in the battle royal, a replacement has been found. The replacement winds up being a returning Matt Hardy, and he goes on to win AND wins the ECW Title. Matt can have some sort of program with Miz and Morrison (Miz being pissed off that he lost his battle royal spot) or something.

As for some other random notes for the battle royal:

-Jesse and Festus HAVE to do a spot somehow to get Festus back into his docile state. Most likely, I see them both get eliminated at the same time and a wild Festus keeps trying to re-enter the ring. Jesse rings the bell to stop him.

-Colin Delaney being in seems like an odd choice, but he's Dreamer's partner and is the perfect candidate to be the token guy who gets eliminated within 10 seconds. One of the big guys in the match can throw him way the fuck out.

-Mike Knox is another odd selection to be in but he's gonna be in sort of a feud with Stevie so they can throw him in there to carry out the feud. Plus, the battle royal is for an ECW title shot, so it'll make sense to have more ECW guys in there.

-Kofi Kingston is randomly absent from the match for no reason other than I don't see them wanting to put Kofi in because he wouldn't win...and they don't want his first loss to be in a battle royal.

-Santino Marella is absent because I see him trying to intervene in the diva's match but the "lumberjills" humiliate him somehow.

-Most the Heat regulars: Venis, Londrick, etc. are left off (sorry Noid). There's no real reason for this except for, as mentioned, if there are gonna be jobbers in the match it makes more sense for them to be from SD/ECW.
