Taker vs HBK..if taker wins, HBK's career is over.

Hard to believe HBK is going to retire.

My only beef right now is this was supposed to be the Mania for DiBiasi's big push. Currently there isn't enough time to make it DiBiasi v. Orton, unless they rush a storyline where Orton attacks the Million Dollar Man, as he is being inducted into the HOF this year.

I don't know, it disappoints me.

And SG, hasn't HBK's career ended before in a similar match? He will be back eventually, a la Flair.

I think Christian wins the Money in the Bank this year, he needs to rewarded for his year on ECW.

Yea, I know they could always write Michaels back in...And I think he wants some time off anyway, so who knows.

He does look kinda burned out lately. I understand his character is supposed to be looking that way, he is playing it TOO well for there not to be some reality in it. I think we may be seeing the end of HBK for a while, which is gonna suck as I REALLY wanted to see one last feud with him and the Game.

What was up with the makeup all over Taker's face last night?

No surprises on the Mania card thus far, but its damn good to see them announce the main events early and allow for plenty of time to build to the big event. Its looking like a REALLY solid card so far...

Jericho defends against Edge
Batista defends against Cena
Taker vs HBK: Streak vs Career
MITB: Christian first to qualify

Rumored:
McMahon vs Hart in some capacity
Punk vs Mysterio: Hair vs Mask
Orton vs Legacy, or a triple threat of Orton vs DiBiasi vs Rhodes
Triple H vs Sheamus

Throw in a tag title match and a women's match of some sort, and Mania is looking to be awesome!

Probably something to do with him being caught on fire at the PPV the other night.

Apparently HHH came out last night after Raw and challenged Batista...I still wonder if HHH will find his way into that Cena/Batista match but I still think HHH/Shaemus will be a match...But it won't be a big deal...Kind of a bs match in a way unless they end up making it a cage match or something.

I think HHH in the MITB match would be good.

**MikeAD** · 02-24-2010 03:21 AM

Any opinions on how the Legacy/Orton feud would play out?

Personally I would like to see Orton go after the Million Dollar Man, and lead to a DiBiasi/Orton feud, but this would definitely be rushing a storyline and isn't likely to happen. I think we are going to end up with a 2 v 1 match.

So what we are currently looking at is a pretty solid card for Wrestlemania, but not one that is very deep.

Taker v HBK
Cena v. Batista
Edge v. Jericho
Tag Title of some sorts
Money in the Bank
Legacy/Orton

There is still the Intercontinental Belt to be worked in, but I'm not sure how they build matches from here. As others have said HHH could be involved in Money in the Bank, but I just don't see him in a ladder match...so there has to be some HHH match at Mania. We could see a cage match betwixt Shemus and HHH for the #1 contender spot...

Basically, we are a few weeks out from the big PPV and the card isn't very deep, although the confirmed matches are very good.

Look at my post above. You've got 10 matches that could very conceivably happen, and I'd say 8 of them are VERY VERY solid matches. Looks like McEntyre will NOT be in the MITB, so add an IC Title match to the mix as well. That's 11 matches. That's pretty deep for Mania.

I also would not be suprised to see the NXT contract winner crowned or to see Bryan Daniel and a partner vs the Showmiz for the tag titles.

**RavenWarrior** · 02-25-2010 12:40 AM

Is orton gonna be a good guy? I cant tell whether I should root for him or not.

They are trying to make him a good guy without changing his attitude too much...ala Stone Cold still being a badass, but being a fan favorite badass.

I see your point. I heard a rumor that they were gonna make Orton a good guy. But before that they said Dibiase was gonna be good and have him turn on Orton which never happened. The crowd goes back and forth between the three and chants RKO. They should open their eyes and just make Orton good like they did with Edge.

If they make him good, they need to make someone else bad or really start to elevate a guy like DiBiase as a main eventer.

**RavenWarrior** · 02-27-2010 03:40 PM

I think Legacy will turn on Orton. Then Orton will RKO them and the crowd will cheer.
