Let's say they did a GBR at Wrestlemania 36. With the following stipulations, who would you bring in for this?
1. No one from the X7 battle royal
2. Everyone has to be under 55
3. Everybody has to be at least semi-active (at least one match in the last year)
4. Nobody signed to other promotions
5. Let's shoot for anywhere between 20 and 36 participants.

Man Rule number 3 is a real obstacle.

Are folk from the Raw Gimmick Battle Royal fair game?

It's so hard because OTT gimmicks like those in the WM17 battle royal feel like such a thing of the past.
The Hurricane has appeared once or twice in the last year or so?
Santino?
Hornswoggle?
Kane?
Reverend D'Von?
Deacon Batista?
Headbangers?
That's all I got off the top of my head.

Rikishi, in a choice of gimmicks
Raven (or Johnny Polo), is 55 so right on the cusp

Imagine that crowd reaction for Kenzo Suzuki I'd actually love it if people switched gimmicks. Kenzo Suzuki, whatever. But Kenzo Suzuki, MALE CHEERLEADER? Gold. |

Yeah this one's tough because it's hard to get the crowd excited about some of the choices.

I went through the list of backstage personnel / ambassadors, and I think these are the only ones currently associated with WWE that qualify: Abyss Hurricane Jeff Jarrett Kurt Angle - not really a name that springs to mind for a gimmick battle royal Mark Henry (pushing the currently active rule a bit) Daivari - again, probably not the best for gimmick based stuff. HBK - It'd be more dignified than his last outing. ---- King Booker he's 54 and had a match at the start of the year. Kane if you persuade him to make an appearance has several options for gimmick. x-pac qualifies. 1-2-3 Kid? handy list of X7 participants {Spoiler}
Luke & Butch Bushwackers
Duke Droese
Doink
Nikolai Volkoff
Tugboat
The Goon
Earthquake
Gobbledy Gooker
Brother Love
Michael Hayes
One Man Gang
Kamala (w/ Harvey Wippleman)
Kim Chee
Jim Cornette
Repo Man
Sgt Slaughter
Iron Shiek |

Grab 40 different people from the massive rosters across all brands.
20 people dressed up in Sin Cara masks and 20 people dressed up in Doink outfits...

Sifted thru Wikipedia & found these gimmick(ish) wrestlers who are under 55 (for some reason, this was the stipulation I focused most on; no idea if they've been active in the indies)
Mayor Kane
Gangrel
Kevin Thorn
Mark Henry
Tajiri
Blue Meanie
Chris Masters
Super Crazy
Psicosis
The Hurricane
The Highlanders
The Headbangers
A-Train
JTG
Aldo Montoya
The Great Khali
Phantasio
Zack Gowan (he HAS to be in a WWE battle royal in his lifetime, come on)
Essa Rios
Damien Sandow
Tiger Ali Singh
Rikishi
Perry Saturn
2 Cold Scorpio
Deuce & Domino
Funaki
Santino Marella
Mideon
Trevor Murdoch
Val Venis
Snitsky
Jimmy Wang Yang
Big Show
and Harvey Whippleman
(That's 37 there. I may be willing to remove Khali so that Whippleman makes the cut. lol)
These folks are literally 55 right now:
Adam Bomb
Sir Mo
Mr. Hughes
Henry Godwinn
Savio Vega
And for some reason, I need Virgil to be in my battle royal too, even though he's 57. Same applies for the Brooklyn Brawler (58) and Blake Beverly (56).
