If the Haas thing does turn out to be a work this may take on the form of an angle, where Benjamin comes out first, and demands Hass come out, but when he does he is too drunk to compete, leading to a slow build for a new Haas character.
Anyhow think I will order this overall its a strong enough lineup to take a punt on.
Normally I'd be a bit hesitant to call something out as being completely real, but when you hear that he was crying in the centre of the ring I think it'd be safe to say that it is.
Would be pretty interesting if it did turn out to be a work, mind.
Maybe they pick up on of the guys that was screwed over by Extreme Rising? Almost all other indy wrestlers would already be booked, maybe WWE will do them a favour and allow one of the undercard guys that doesn't have a match at WM to appear.
I wouldn't be interested in seeing any guys come over from Extreme Rising, but yeah, I'd say one of them would be very easy to snap up for a night. Can't the same for WWE though, even though it would be cool to see.
If they do end up finding a replacement I'd really like to see them use someone well known in the indie scene. Getting someone like Ricochet, Willie Mack, or even Colt Cabana would be pretty exciting.
