GOT Wrestle Fest Fan Thread

[NewRadical]

Random People I've heard will be in the Rumble:

MVP (although he denied it on Twits)
John Morrison
X-PAC
Road Dogg
Billy Gunn
Shelton Benjamin

That seems like too many randoms to me.

Billy Gunnand Road Dog are road agents so they are definitely in the arena. Wouldn't surprise me if either or both made an appearence.

MVP and Shelton Benjamin are in the area at the same time, which might mean something.

John Morrison and X-Pac are on good terms with the WWE, X-Pac is supposed to be in training getting healthy, I think Morrison wrestled Friday night for DGUSA PPV.

Godfather has been spotted in the arena today. Hurricane Helms and Chris Masters are also in town.

One personally definitely in the Rumble, confirmed as making his debut, is Bo Dallas from NXT.

He won a tournament at the Royal Rumble Fanfest yesterday, and will be in the Rumble, and will also be the start of him being on the main roster of Raw & Smackdown.

He's IRS' other son, brother of Bray Wyatt/Husky Harris. Looks like Jacob from the Twilight movies.

Shelton Benjamin would be cool. He won't get the crazy pop that some of the true old superstars will, but he's made for matches like the Rumble and MITB. If he shows up, you're guaranteed at least one insane "jump off a guy's shoulders onto the top turnbuckle followed by a plancha that eliminates three guys including himself" moment. Amazing athlete.

I don't know if you have access to ROH in the UK, but it's shown at 2pm on Saturday afternoons here. Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas had a fantastic feud with the Briscoes last year.

I missed Shelton.

He was never really used right (remember that story with his Momma?). He was awesome. So many ace spots in MITB matches, and anything involving a ladder.

Hope he is in tonight.

The sad thing about the whole "Shelton's Momma" angle is that it was the most over he ever got after his first year or so.

*prays for WWE return for Kurt Angle with Team Angle

Shelton is a perfect example of why wrestling needs managers again. He can do it all in the ring, but sucks on the mic. If you dropped him into 1986 and let Bobby Heenan do the talking for him, he'd have been a star.

I know everyone is gearing up for the Rumble, and I am too, but I went to the TNA Impact tv tapings in Manchester on Friday night. Just thought I'd share a few photos I took with you guys:

Kurt Angle vs Mr Anderson in a cage match.

Bobby Roode & Austin Aries.

Aces & Eights with new members Garett Bischoff & Wes Brisco.

Hulk Hogan, Brooke Hogan, Bully Ray and Sting just after the main event (for February 7th's (10th over here) Impact).

Awesome pics mate.

If TNA was always in decent arenas like that I'd probably take more of an interest in it.

Angle is still in my top 5 wrestlers ever.

How big is that arena? That's a VERY big crowd for TNA. Precisely why they need to tour more.

He's not very good. Super generic, guaranteed mid-carder for life. Reeks of nepotism too.

He's decent in the ring, but has virtually no personality. There are much better they could have called up from NXT

100% correct.

Yep. Like Adrian Neville (Pac) from Newcastle, for starters. That guy is awesome and should be on Raw or Smackdown already.
