Chris Jericho referred to Mason Ryan as 'Batistwo' which I think is an apt name.

Is this fella going to be in the Nexus? From what I hear from FCW his work is the sh!ts and is nowhere near being ready.

Also a 40 man rumble will be fun. The rumbles of the last 5 years or so have been so dull and predictable. Remember when you genuinley didn't know who was going to win? Every year you know it's going to be a certain person or at least one of say 2 or 3 people/.

He is in the Nexus. He's been rushed to TV simply because he looks like Batista.

The only "name" I can see winning the Rumble is Cena. Bubbling under I'd go for CM Punk (depending on who wins out of Orton vs Miz) or Alberto Del Rio.

He worked the dark match at the Smackdown tapings in November. He was god awful, not even Chavo Guerrerro's technical ability made him look good. He even won with a botched spinebuster

As long as they keep him as an enforcer and don't actually put him in matches, he should go well. Give him 2 hours a day with William Regal, he should be able to a decent match within a couple of months!

It's either Punk, Cena or Triple H for the rumble. Outside bets for Morrison, Swagger & Del Rio.

Looking at the two rosters, Raw and SD, a 40 man RR is pretty much the entire active WWE roster at the moment, excluding the Divas.

So there's either going to be some gimmick surprise entries or people will be pulling double duty

If you wanna see Kevin Nash's dream come true (to win the Rumble and face Taker at Mania) clap your hands.

Oh, spotted this recent pic of Ivory (now 49) on the UKFF:



Three simple words - Oh. Hell. Yeah.

It's Rumble time - Kane & Henry are always pushed as "The real threats" dispite neither standing any chance of winning it.

Anyone else think Matt Hardy's been on the Raven diet ?? Even made his hair funny !

Oh and unconfirmed report that Shelley will miss the UK tour wih a broken collar bone.

You can almost guarantee HHH will be in it - wouldn't surprise me if he won it either.

Aside from that, the 40 man Rumble appears to be a way of cramming as many Nexus members as possible in. Yawn.

He's in a band called The High Crusade along with Chris Sabin and Petey Williams and others. It was one of his band mates who reported the news that he'd injured it at a TNA Live Event, so unfortunately it's true.

I did my collarbone a couple of years ago, it hurt like hell and I had a sling on for at least 4 weeks. Then it still felt sore for a few more weeks.

Tara has been having physio for her injury, but is definitely on the tour.
