Another maybe not interesting but entertaining note, when I was going through these labels I noticed a few wrestlers whose names were spelled wrong.
Drew McIntyre was labeled as Draw McIntyre
Kofi Kingston was labeled as Koli Kingston
I thought this was funny, but nowhere near as cool and noteworthy as the mystery 2 packs.

Strange.
The only ones on this list that were ever really planned were Alex and Kaval ( changed when Kaval left company) and Matt and Jeff Hardy ( all Jeff plans were scrapped when he left)
There were never plans for any other of these, and I should know as I help make out the lineups! I would love to know how these ended up on Walmart stickers like this...

Here's the scan of the labels for a better view of them.
Not sure how they got in there. I was having to do price changes and there they were in the system. It doesn't say it on the labels, but it actually said Mattel on our Scanner. There was also one for a Regal and Layla 2pack if I remember correctly, but I don't have a printed label for that one. Seems like I've actually heard something about that one before, or heard of one of the shelf tags saying that when someone was buying another 2pack.

Looks like Walmart does this every once in a while. Hey, I got that Regal/Layla 2-pack last year! Actually, it was the Ezekiel Jackson/Vladimir Kozlov set. I thought it was funny when I price scanned it, though!

Any way I can convince you to give us a Trent Barreta, please? Worth a shot right ;D |

I wish we could find out how they got in the system like that, I guess maybe whomever keyed it into the system in the first place just really doesn't know their wrestlers lol. I wonder if any of the upc's would show up similar in another store's system. Or I wonder since the Regal/Layla upc is actually for the Ezekiel/Kozlov 2pack, if maybe any of these are tied to some of the existing 2packs that are out there. Anybody on here have any on card 2packs that you can check to upc on and see if it matches? Looks like Walmart does this every once in a while. Hey, I got that Regal/Layla 2-pack last year!

Did you post the mix up on the forums? if so, I bet that's where I heard about the Regal/Layla pack. Seems like I remember someone mentioning a Toys R Us label naming the wrong wrestler in the WrestleMania 26 series. Not 100% sure though |
