Erm, only wrestlers who would've made sense were Shawn Michaels or Chris Jericho, I believe the Raw Scramble was former World Champions only (I may be wrong). (: You're right. Only former World Champions were eligible. |

2008 Weakest raw roster ever?
It would be great to have a list of all the wrestlers in the brand for in each year.
Shawn Michaels is the only logical choice in that list.

I'm not sure if Regal was being pushed yet, or if he had won the KOTR before. If he did, then I pick Regal. If not, Michaels who would drop the title a month later to Jericho.

Actually, there was no one better than Jericho to gain the win. His feud with HBK was going to continue, so this added a lot to it. Not only because he got the title, but think about it: Jericho striked HBK's wife. HBK came back to completely demolish him that same night, but still Jericho was able to get the last laugh by winning the World Heavyweight Championship. It was brilliant booking, IMO.

I didn't think Kennedy was suspended. Didn't he have a shoulder injury or something from a few months earlier? He was on Smackdown's roster at that point anyway.

I wouldn't say the 2008 RAW roster is the weakest ever. From the first of the year, they had Orton, Cena, Triple H, Michaels, Jericho, Jeff Hardy and JBL. Then, a couple of them got drafted or injured, but they got Kane, Punk, Batista, and Mysterio added to the roster. Nonetheless, I enjoyed 2008 until the draft, then I think WWE had a low point other than HBK/Jericho. But it wasn't because of the roster, I think it was just how things were booked primarily. |

I always thought it would have been funny if the match went the full 25:00 without a pinfall or submission and Punk retained the championship without even being in the match. I love your idea. |

Out of those choices, I'd pick Regal. Umaga would be a close second though. I think Regal could have been a fantastic heel World Champion.

It's one of my favorite feuds of all time. It produced top notch matches and promos. |

Regal is my first choice as he has never been used properly in WWE and could've really shined as World champ.
Ditto for D-Lo. I'll never forget his feud with AJ Styles in TNA circa 2003 for the NWA Title. Too bad he didn't get more exposure and World title matches in WWE......
