Will Kofi definitely be #10 in MITB?

[Zen411]

A lot of people are banking (pardon the pun) on Kofi being the #10 entrant in MITB this year.

But is that for certain? This year's MITB is heavy on faces. Could it be that Kofi gets put into the Orton-Legacy feud and we see Ezekiel Jackson instead? Maybe even a surprise entrant to be announced at the event itself? A surprise entrant like Yoshi Tatsu or Zack Ryder? A return like Lance Cade?

[Dub H]

its not certain,but they probaly think its the best choice

[Toom E. Guci]

I want Mike Knox in it!!! Sure, it won't happen...but damn it, Wrestlemania is in his hometown....it should happen!! Plus, it gives Kane another big fella to work with.

I think it's a given

[Jason]

He will be, but he shouldn't be. McIntyre should be the only exception cause Vince McMahon has "chosen" him.

[Fade is a CodyCryBaby]

I'd laugh if Orton was the last entrant, leaving Cody, Ted, and Kofi in the dust.

[Capt. Internet Darling]

Anybody but Kofi would essentially be filler.

It being that only Christian, Drew and Kofi have had any kind of major build in the last 3-4 months.

[Zen411]

Well, tonight Kofi was fed to Batista. Not exactly making him hot leading into Mania.

Will the final spot be determined tomorrow? I imagine a match between Kofi and Ezekiel Jackson to determine #10.

I really could see a surprise #10 too. One not to be announced until the match itself.

...do we really NEED 10 guys in MITB? I mean, it might as well be a battle royal at this point.

[Jonathan Michaels]

It will be a mystery until the show.

During the match, Santino will leap from his seat in the front row and climb the ladder, retrieving the briefcase.

[rnrk supports BLM]

For all the complaints on here about Kofi being buried, I think WWE consider him a bigger asset than, say, Bourne or R-Truth.

So I certainly expect him to end up somewhere on the 'Mania card, and MitB's still the most likely place.

I don't get what the deal with Kofi is. I have watched wrestling for almost thirty years and he is not impressive one bit at all.
He is a middle mid carder at best IMHO.

I hate to say it, but I feel the same way about Kofi. I think he's a good wrestler, but I just can't like the guy for some reason.

I like R-Truth, though. I wish they'd do something with him.

[KingPopper]

Probably a last chance battleroyal on Smackdown. Then they can have the 5 raw guy vs. 5 smackdown guys next week on raw.

[Zen411]

I imagine a dark match battle royale where the winner gets the final spot...similar to the battle royale that determined the challenger for the ECW title a few years back.

Masters, Ryder, Zeke, Santino, Yoshi, Khali, etc.

One interesting thing is that the WWE is making 26 special covers of the WWE Magazine, each featuring a participant at WM26. One is Santino. Hmmmm.

[Jason]

So glad he wasn't added, MITB is/was fine before they added McInbore and him.

What is the problem with extra people?

It's a spot match with just alot of folks diving
Hell having more people makes it safer

[BigJerichool222]

Bourne appeared to be the final participant in the match – that was until Mr. McMahon used his power to “expunge” two Qualifying Match losses by Intercontinental Champion Drew McIntyre.

On the Mar. 12 edition of SmackDown, McIntyre finally qualified for The Grandest Stage of Them All by defeating a local athlete, who The Chairman himself hand-picked.

Which of these nine Superstars will retrieve the briefcase and hold the possibly career-changing contract in his hands? Tune in to WrestleMania on Sunday, Mar. 28 to find out.

I think it's just "Mr. McMahon bent the rules so his Chosen One could get in the match"

[Barrock]

Not looking likely at this point. Why the WWE had to squash any momentum he had with that horrible match tonight I'll never know. They did the same thing with Evan Bourne, although he wasn't being pushed anyway.

[Boomaga]

From Kofi's jobbing tonight, I don't think we'll see him at Mania.

My hope is that the last slot will be decided on NXT, let the rookies have a tournament or Battle Royal or whatever to determine who gets the last MITB slot on the biggest show of the year.
