lol, can't be too hard on that name but yeah, not my first pick. I missed out on the Cruiserweight Classic and the UK tournament (and just don't really have the motivation to go back and watch them though I'm sure they're great), but there's no chance I'm missing out on this tournament.
To respond to the original post, I don't really watch much wrestling outside of WWE, so I can't frankly name any wrestlers I want to see participate in the tournament that weren't previously associated with the company. I can tell you though that I'd very much approve of seeing Veda Scott on a weekly basis going by the information provided. As for workers I'd like to see return, Melina sits at the top of that list but I'm not sure that's very likely given the heat she had. After her, probably Gail Kim, then either Victoria or Kharma. Part of me also would like to see Eve Torres but that's not going to happen. I thought I heard something about Maria and Mike Bennett signing with WWE awhile, assuming those weren't just baseless rumors, maybe we'll see Maria return in the tournament and use Bennett to cheat her way to victory? That's my prediction too.
