    Lol people bit***** about Kassius Ohno not being in the tournament commenting in 3, 2, 1…..Now!

  • VLG

    I’m surprised Kassius Ohno isn’t in the tournament, but in saying that I’d say that on the whole there’s a strong group there.

  • Dangerous Lee

    PAC is gonna go to Wrestlemania!

  • Rayner Chee-bai

    I’m putting my bet on Corey Graves

  • Cody Zeller

    When is this bad boy?

    • Dangerous Lee

      I guess it’s gotta be tomorrow, since the Rumble is on Sunday…

      • Cody Zeller

        Tool

    • Boogie

      I’d say probably Monday on Raw. Cody zeller smells btw

        Monday on Raw? Don’t think so, the Rumble is tomorrow, no way it can happen on Raw now.

  • PainOfDemise

    Come on Leo Kruger!

  • Sean Weatherly

    Personally I hope it’s Leo Kruger. I love the guys character and ring presence. He’d be an excellent midcarder, in a gimmick that could easily grow into a main event level gimmick.

  • Jake “Cp” Frato

    Leo Kruger

  • Kenneth

    I’m going with Leo Kruger or Bo Dallas

    I’m guessing it’s going to be Leo Kruger since he’s already on the road with WWE and it would be a good way to debut him to the world.

    I just saw the video and I think Oliver Grey has the best promo skills of all of them and Conor O’ Brian seems interesting and Leo Kruger has a weird voice.

      Corey Graves or Leo Kruger would be my pick to win btw.
