Some big names missing from Mania?

There a couple of people I'm suprised aren't on the card for Wrestlemania and I'm wondering if they will or where they'll fit in.

We have: Koslov, Swagger, Bourne, Regal, the Great Khali (Injured?), Kennedy (Injured?), Cryme Tyme, Mike Knox, Umaga, Chavo Guerrero, R-truth.

Koslov and Swagger are the two I'm most suprised by. Koslov has been in the main event of smackdown for a while now yet he's just left off the card of Mania. And I understand Swagger isn't trusted to do a live match. I think him and Bourne would have been a much better match than JBL and Mysterio.

I'm sure Kennedy is back, they were pushing his return a couple of months ago weren't they and now he's just not doing anything. Mike Knox was in the Elimination Chamber for Raw at No Way Out but is not in Mania at all, I think he'd probably be a better choice for MitB than Henry.

I'm guessing Bourne hasn't fully recovered. Now idea where The Great Khali is. I'm dissapointed William Regal isn't on the card at all, he could have done well in an IC match or just an opener with someone. Cryme Tyme haven't really done much recently but I thought they would have fit in somewhere.

The one I'm most annoyed with is Umaga, I think he'd have done well in the Money in the Bank, or a US Title Match or something like that. Chavo and R-Truth were involved in mini US Title fued leading up to Mania so I thought they would be in some kind of match involving that, but no they are left off the card. R-Truth I;m more suprised about as I thought WWE were planning to give him some kind of push, but since he's come in he's done nothing of much importance.

Anyway...I guess we know who the lumberjacks are

I think Kennedy, Umaga and Bourne all returned from injuries too late to have had anything planned for them at Mania.
Like Junior said Cryme Tyme will probably have some crappy backstage segment.
Chavo, R-Truth, Koslov and Knox not being there don't surprise me. The WWE can get away with putting people like this on a lower PPV but this is Mania its only the best get on the card...
...which is why im surprised Regal is not on the card. I would have rather seen Regal vs JBL than Rey vs JBL. Their styles suit each other more, although they are both heels which doesn't help. Regal will probably come down to the ring with Layla in the Diva's Battle Royal
As for Swagger, there are online reports (take from that what you will) that McMahon didnt like his match with Finley and doesnt want to push him as hard at this moment in time.
As for Khali, i dont care so long as hes not on TV

yeah in the latest wrestlecast kennedy said he will just miss out on wrestlemania by a couple of weeks so i dont think hell be there

Thats your answer

I think Kozlov is not on the card for the same reason as Swagger, apparently Kozlov botched a number of moves in his matches against Taker on Smackdown a few weeks ago, not that I noticed, I probably fell asleep during those matches!

is bourne back forem injury now

Yeah he came back two weeks ago now. Still on ECW

You wouldn't noticed Rock, the match got heavily edited and cut from 13 minutes to 7 or 8
