Betfair Publishes A Survivor Series Appearance Market

The Betfair Sportsbook has added yet another special market for the Survivor Series. This time, customers have the option to bet on certain individuals appearing on camera during the show.

Names like Spike Lee (33/1) and Kanye West (33/1) were put up initially.

As of the time of writing, I am unable to view the full list. However, I am aware of some of the names that are on it. Here are the ones that interest me (please note: they interest me in that they're added, not that I'm going to bet on all of them).

Vince McMahon - This might be a good shout at coming in. With the ISIS threat rumour doing the rounds and the FBI, Anonymous and news agencies drawing attention to the Survivor Series, I can see McMahon doing one of his pep talk promos to start off the show just like his 9/11 speech when the company filmed an episode of Smackdown a couple of days after the terrorist attacks.

Diamond Dallas Page - Lives in Georgia, so it makes sense for his name to be on this list.

Jake 'The Snake' Roberts - Similar deal to DDP.

The Gobbledy Gooker - It's his 25th anniversary as well!

Randy Orton - This one is a guaranteed 'No'.

Ron Simmons - Might be worth considering this one. He's famous for his roots to Georgia and he has a track record of doing the 'Damn' spot. The only thing that holds me back from betting is that most of these cameos are done in backstage skits and these do not pay out as all action must take place at ringside or within the arena itself.

Sting - I don't think we'll see him for a while.

Brock Lesnar - He'll be back soon. But - when he does - he'll be advertised.

Chris Jericho - Is touring with Fozzy in Europe, so no chance.

Hornswoggle - His suspension should be done by now, right?

Kanye West - Was born in Georgia

Lex Luger - I don't know if he still lives there, but he's another name with roots to Georgia. I highly doubt he'll be featured at any point.

Spike Lee - Another person from Georgia and I think he has been seen at WWE shows in the past, if I recall correctly.

Melissa Joan Hart - This is an interesting selection as she has been a topic of interest to wrestling fans earlier this week when she shared an opinion on Twitter regarding Kevin Owens. It prompted a response from Owens that ended up with a number of WWE fans stirring the pot even more by being hostile towards her over social media. Everything that happened isn't an angle in any way, so don't expect Hart to be in Atlanta tonight.

Last month, I thought HBO's Bill Simmons was a good shout to appear during Hell in a Cell. He appeared on screen and paid out at odds of 20/1 to some lucky punters.

4pm Update: The error that caused me being unable to view the market has now been corrected.  Here's a screenshot:
