since he only ever went by Red Rooster in the WWF then he would have to use the Red Rooster theme as well...it would be epic as fuck

Problem is the crowd would have no fucking clue what to do...

I was just reminded of the Legends Rumble at WM 17, that was fucking funny. Shiek made it down the ramp in damn near the time it took to get to the end of the match.

I'd like to see a Ted DiBiase return to the Rumble...that theme music is timeless.

If he is going to feud with Cody, you can pretty much bank on Goldy showing up.

The RR is in randy's home town. Wade barrett is on the Barrett barrage and Sheamus winning will get him out of his random matches phase

Is Orton back in time for the Rumble? And even if he is, WWE notoriously doesn't let workers go over in their home towns, its like a thing for them. I could buy Barrett but I'm not sure they are sold on him yet. He had even more momentum than this a year ago and then they cut his legs out from under him. Sheamus would be cool, but again, not sure they are going to pull the trigger on him.

Then you have to look at, if Bryan remains champ into WM, will he go face or heel. Facing Randy or Sheamus, you would assume they would stick Bryan as the bad guy given Randy and Sheamus' hot popularity. I personally am pulling for a Bryan heel turn like in the ROH days...I would have a mark out moment if he said "I HAVE UNTIL FIVE" at WM

I find myself still leaning towards Orton, although if he can't make it back in time I really don't have a clue.
