So...

After tonight's Smackdown taping it seems that the final 8 are now revealed though not completely confirmed. It will be Barrett v Bryan v Ziggler v Harper v Truth v Ambrose v Stardust v Goldust

Should be a very good match with those 8 involved.

Why Goldust and Stardust? Should've been a singles match between these two.

I'm cool with those being the eight participants. Wonder if a returning Sheamus will be added to the match (although nine participants is a bit much... I mean, eight is already pushing it) or if he'll end up entering the battle royal instead?

Goldust and Stardust are both former Intercontinental Champions and they would have just been thrown into the battle royal if they weren't booked in the ladder match since there's no room for a singles match between the two.

I have a feeling that if Sheamus returns before Mania that he will almost certainly be in the AtGBR and he'll most likely win it. I don't think there will be any other names as big as his in the match.

That's what I'm thinking. I doubt he loses whatever match he's in at Wrestlemania if he makes his return before then (unless he loses the battle royal and then turns heel by behaving like a sore loser by Brogue Kicking the winner and smashing their trophy, but that's probably not likely to happen.)

I bet they'll do some stupid shit music segment instead of giving Stardust and Goldust aroun d 10-15 minutes of solid ring work to fight. 8 man ladder match will be too much IMO, I'd rather have 6 and give them the singles match they deserve.

They have a bunch of WM31 matches handed to them on a silver platter but they fuck up.

Fucking up seems to be their thing.

As far as Stardust/Goldust rivalry goes, I hope it ends at ER and not at WM. It would be more proper to end it at ER where they'd fight in a singles match.

Yeah, they won't just throw it away.. there will be like a "whoever loses quits WWE match" or something like that at ER with Cody going over on his brother. That's what I'd like to see.. something to give Dustin a nice final match.

lol way to go with that Goldie and Stardust feud. Ladder match should be fun, though.

'LOL' was my reaction to Goldy and Stardust getting involved in this match, too. It just feels out of the blue.

Plus, this whole IC title switcheroo is becoming silly.

I agree, though, the match should be fun.

Just disappointing it became over saturated. If they had stuck to something like Sheamus/Bryan/Ambrose/Ziggler/Barrett/Rowan it would be a little more appealing. Still has potential though obviously

The IC Title switcheroo nonsense actually sounds fun to watch lol

The fans' reactions to this match truly amaze me.
