Which one of these men does not belong?
BRADSHAW!
Honestly. Other than trying to justify his almost year long title reign theres like no reason for him to be in the group. The "he stayed around for 5 years waiting to do something and then finally did" doesn't exactly work either.
I'd have Bradshaw as a replacement for Nash. Nash would have been in the group at some point, even after going to WCW, and when he came back to the WWE. Circa 2003 he tears his quad and the group decides its time to pick someone else and they choose..Bradshaw. Bradshaw stirs around for over 1/2 year before dumping Ron Simmons and becoming JBL.
That makes more sense to me.
