Here's one a little more from left field.

Aged 53 and a relic of WWE's Attitude Era, Savio Vega is a Puerto Rican legend who would provide some nice nostalgia for the tournament should he be included. We'd certainly love to see it. Even if Vega's appearance boiled down to putting over a younger star in the first round, it'd give him some closure in a company that quickly moved on.

Savio still wrestles on the independent circuit in Puerto Rico and occasionally makes trips over to countries like Kuwait in between dates. The former Nation Of Domination man was never given a proper chance to say goodbye in WWE, and he'd therefore be an excellent surprise.

Let's just hope he doesn't bring the Kwang gear with him.
