Michaels is going to cost HHH the match one way or another.

I agree. The only question is will that lead to a SummerSlam match, a Mania 29 match, or no match at all? If its option C, then I again ask...what's the point?

Kinda of blah Raw last night. I love the Jericho / Punk interaction, as Jericho is just Gold on the microphone and in his storytelling, but the Cena vs Rock thing is growing stale, and the Trips/Taker/HBK story has reached its limit as well. I normally like good long builds to the Mania matches, but it seems in 2of the 3 main events we're just rehashing the same thing every week.

Where were the tag champs? No room on a 4 hour card at Mania for the tag team champions?

I was in attendance last night (12th row behind the King and Cole), Primo & Epico had a match for Superstars against Mason Ryan & Alex Riley. Brodus Clay was in the dark match, I don't know who he wrestled, I was making my way to the seats as he won.

The Miz came out after the show went off the air, talking about not having a match at WrestleMania, which prompted The Rock to come back out. They went back and forth on the mic for about 20 minutes, which ended with a Rock Bottom and People's Elbow to send the Filthadelphia crowd home happy.

Also, I didn't watch on TV yet to see if it was on there, but they showed a vignette for Lord Tensai. It's Albert/A-Train/Giant Bernard, whatever you may know him as.

I agree. It allows the streak to continue and HHH to save face. There is no way Taker is going to win it completely clean but we all know the streak isn't ending either.

I don't see any point in those 2 wrestling again.

I think you could see Michaels go to super kick Taker, miss and hit HHH.

Again, what's the point though if HBK is staying retired? Is it just to give Taker the win without burying Trips? I guess I can see that, but its not in Trips' character then to not want revenge. Just a strange spot they've booked themselves into.

More hype....Bring in Michaels at WM time.

Rumors are already starting that HBK costs Trips the match, with Trips calling him out on Raw and setting up a match at Mania 29.

I could see that.

But why have a match between those 2 with a 1 year hype?

I know its in NY and they want it to be big but still, HHH/Michaels isn't something new and something worth hyping for a full year.

HBK retired 2 years ago. That would be his first match in 3 years, against his best friend, who he cost the chance to end Taker's streak. Works for me.

Yeah, me too. Considering the main thought is that HBK is staying legit retired and won't have another match, it'd be pretty cool to see him in the ring again.

For those who are interest, the Rock/Cena special is on tonight at 8. I'll probably check it out.

Somewhat surprised that Booker T is the last guy on TL's team, since most of the names I had read consisted of Brodus Clay, Rey Mysterio, and even Miz. I smell a Miz swerve on JL coming up, because it makes too much sense. His character has been jerked around by JL, but I can't see them taking JL off tv and thereby have his team lose the match. He's a board member, fans hate his guts, which counts for something, and he's more over now than he ever was in his wrestling career.

If this injury to Christian is not legitimate, then I smell a feud with Punk starting after Mania.

Yeah, not sure why you take Christian out of that match? The teams are heavily favored to the JL side, so the ONLY way Teddy wins is a swerve. Miz would make sense, but I just see a win for Johnny.

Do you guys think there is enough interest into creating a forum for Pro Wrestling? I don't follow this thread but it appears pretty active.

If it helps, I'd say there are about as many posters in this thread as there are in the Redskins section, just for a size idea.

[MikeAD]

I'd be down for a wrestling-specific forum, it might increase activity.

I am also fine with the way it is. We have created other threads based on individual happenings or events within this forum.
