Creepy Old Man

Championship Contender
He has the same height, same build, same exaggerated body movements, and same faux-homosexual posturing. Santino revealed a while back that he was training to return from his neck injury, and this seems like his big comeback. He's dressed up before, as a woman, as Santa Claus, as his opponents etc. So yeah, it's him... *groan*

Do you agree, or do you think it's someone else?

Why is there no 'none of the above' option? Sod it I'll just go with Sting, because why not?

In all seriousness though I don't think it's Marella, I could be wrong (it's possible) but I wouldn't be surprised if:

A) We never find out who it is

B) It's Justin Gabriel

C) It's (unfortunately) someone from NXT

Only time will tell, although in all honesty the sooner that bunny is off television the happier I'll be.
 
Sting was a replacement for "none of the above". At least in my warped mind.

Someone from NXT eh? Never thought of that. The bunny has some heat so I guess there could be a worse introductory spot.
 
Brad Maddox

Ok I better add a few more words encase the forum milk monitors mistake answering a question for spam again.

Right, Apparently Brad Maddox being moved to the alumni section of the WWE website is a work and he is apparently set to make a comeback pretty soon.
 
I know the Bunny has been played by Justin Gabriel in the past. There have been a few side by side comparisons between some moves Justin Gabriel does and The Bunny, along with how he positions himself on the ropes before he jumps off the top that look pretty identical.
 
I dunno, it's kinda hard to tell how the guy is built in the grand scheme of things. After all, the bunny suit doesn't exactly show a lot of skin.

As has been mentioned, Justin Gabriel has played the part of The Bunny on television and at house shows, so I've little doubt it could ultimately be him under the costume when the identity is revealed.

It's possible that it could be revealed to be Santino Marella, even though it's obvious that Santino hasn't always been The Bunny because he's been retired for a while, has been on the shelf for quite a while and has had neck surgery. There've been reports that Santino is making a comeback, but I personally don't see The Bunny as a stepping stone towards something bigger than where he already was.

It's not going to be Zack Ryder because Ryder's injured and will be out for the next 6 months. It's why he wasn't part of WWE's recent European tour, Cena himself said as much on Raw after Ryder had confirmed it earlier in the day via Twitter.

Fandango is another possibility but, all in all, he hasn't ever really struck me as having the same level of agility in using the ropes as we've seen with The Bunny.

If it was revealed to be Sting, it'd be quite a shocking surprise. Depending upon how WWE decided to book it, it could turn out to be an entertaining reveal. For instance, if Sting said that he'd talked with the actual wearer of the suit and convinced him to let him wear it so he could get a little revenge on Rose for him for Rose bullying him, people might accept it. However, at the same time, it's nowhere near as big of a debut/reveal as it should be for someone like Sting. I mean...c'mon....Sting, the biggest American wrestling star of the past 3 or 4 decades to have never set foot in WWE ring showing up dressed in a bunny suit in order to stick it to a low-card comedy jobber? After the feel good moment of seeing Sting wore off, it'd be condemned as a pitiful way to hype & debut one of the biggest stars to come along in my lifetime.
 
I went with Sting as well, because why not, even although out of all the names, his was the most ridiculous on the list.

It's almost impossible that the WWE would debut Sting, a guy they tried to get for years, in a bunny suit. Stranger things have happened, but still. It is probably Justin Gabriel but until the head comes off we'll never know.

I'm kind of shocked that it hasn't been revealed yet. In a world where we know almost everything, who the Bunny is, is the one thing that has had fans wondering about for awhile now.

Don't see it being Santino either, Ryder is injured, Fandango is taller than the Bunny, so yea probably is Gabriel.
 
If the Bunny removes his head and it is Sting I will shit a dick. The hype, waiting and wanting for over a decade will had all been for nothing. I'd rather see the Muppets return to host RAW and it be revealed that Sting is the one with his hand up Kermit' backside. At least that frog has earned some respect.

Santino would make sense. He has stated he wants a more serious role if/when he returns but it isn't going to happen. Creative will slide him back into his former spot and this would be a nice way to re-introduce him. Other possible reveals would include Eve, Eva, Horny and the Bull (the old gag where one in on the others shoulders) and Phill Brooks.
 
Sting? That would be beyond ludicrous....next thing you know, they'll be bringing in the fearsome Goldberg and forcing him to wear a blonde wig while playing a scene with Gillberg. Couldn't happen, right? :blush:

As dumb as this sounds, I don't think Santino or Fandango would have the ability (or inclination) to balance while standing on the top rope. The damn bunny has an agility that belies his (or her?) stupid appearance. For that reason, I think Justin Gabriel might very well be the bunny.

I'm probably not going to lie awake nights thinking about it, though. :rolleyes:

And now I can't get that image out of my head, it's... quite terrifying.

I'd definitely agree that it's most likely Justin Gabriel, I know there have been rumours that it could be Darren Young but after yesterday's humping fiasco I really hope that's not the case.

This.

I was thinking that it would be Darren Young in the end(no pun intended), but after last night's little bunny-humping bit, I can't imagine they'd be that distasteful.

And Yes, I'm leaning toward Gabriel now for several reasons. Those being not only the obvious of Gabriel and Rose being countryman, and the fact that the Bunny is an adept high-flyer, but also the fact that Kidd seems to be the new regular opponent for Rose during this angle, that lends more to my belief of it being Gabriel as Kidd and Gabriel have teamed in the past and just teamed again recently on NXT as well as the two of them using a similar frustrated and entitled gimmick down in NXT. Having the bunny reveal himself as Gabriel and then subsequently side and team with Kidd now seems like a quite plausible scenario.
 
I think the Bunny is taller than Santino, but that's a decent guess.

I know that Justin Gabriel has played the bunny and the skin tone of the bunny matches the darker skin of a Gabriel, Santino, and possibly Fandango. However, Justin Gabriel as faced off against Adam Rose as house shows where the bunny was featured. I don't think WWE can make the case that Gabriel is the bunny when we was seen across from him in the same place during a live event.

Fandango is due for a gimmick change and I really think it could be him. Yes he's feuded with Rose in the past but that was before the bunny was established as a character. Wasn't Summer Rae disguised as the bunny once?

I've heard this rumor somewhere and I think I agree with it. Fandango is the bunny to take revenge on Rose.
 
With how idiotic WWE writing has been this past year, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Bunny turned out to somehow be The Undertaker, and it will all lead to Undertaker going 21-2 at WrestleMania when he jobs to Adam Rose in a 2-minute squash. Considering how awful the writing has been in 2014, at this point nothing would surprise me.
 
When Rose was feuding with Slator Gator (whatever happened to Titus?) I thought that the Bunny would be unmasked as Darren Young. I thought that would be a great return for Young and a way to get revenge on his ex partner in Titus. This humping incident tells me it's not Darren.

Justin Gabriel is the obvious pick. He has been portraying The Bunny and is also South African like Adam Rose. This could be a childhood issue that Gabriel has had with Rose, and has now let it boil

Sami Zayn - not the best way for him to debut

What if WWE is waiting for TNA's talent to have their contracts expire. I'm just saying that Austin Aries would be a great bunny, and an awesome signing. Plus if it were to happen, it would not only be a great pick up, but well played by WWE and Aries for not letting it leak at all
 
We know but like someone else said, no "none of the above" option, so I went with the silliest on the poll. And so did quite a few others.

I was referring to the people who were actually rationalising why Sting would not be a good choice.
