[Volare]

4 hours of entertainment!

[Corndad]

Still wished would have showed HOF on Saturday Night but I guess makes this an even better night on Monday. Looking forward to all of this. Hope the TPWW servers are ready too lol

[The Gold Standard]

How many people are actually going to watch the Hall of Fame?

[ClockShot]

House rerun tonight, I'll tune in.

The Raw rating tonight I think is gonna suck. Butler/UConn is going down and I'm definately gonna be watching that.

[Team Sheep]

Watched the Hall of Fame earlier, was on at 10pm here in the UK. The Michaels stuff is really good. Pretty sad as it's taken a whole year for it to actually sink in that he's done :( Well worth the watch.

As for Raw tonight, I'm intrigued by The Rock's announcement, and where the Raw commentary team goes from here. And Triple H's response to his match (if he's even on the show). I love the Raw after Wrestlemania. Never know what direction they're going to take with anything.

[Corndad]

I love seeing the Hall of Fame just for seeing the Superstars out of character a little bit.

[The Gold Standard]

I am the most excited to see The Undertaker's speech when he gets in.

[Corndad]

I thought they were gonna show Sunny's and not Drew's.

[The Gold Standard]

I thought they were gonna show Sunny's and not Drew's.

I am surprised about that too.

[Corndad]

I really can't wait to see the unedited Hall of Fame. Especially Shawn's.

Also it sounded like JR is announcing at Raw tonight. Stoked.

[Gass]

who were those two guys that came out with triple h and hbk at the end of the HOF?

[RawRocks]

Here we go

[Corndad]

Well here we go...

[Londoner]

HOLY SHITTTTTTTTT

[Poit]

BAH GAWD!

[RawRocks]

JR and King .. the way it should be

[ClockShot]

Jim Ross and The King at the booth.

Just like old times.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I'm liking how they're coming off Hunter/Taker. Taker won but it took everything he had - Hunter is the better for wear of the two.

[Corndad]

Wow Conflicting You Tapped Out Chants with Triple H chants

[ClockShot]

Just say it Trips, you couldn't get the job done. No need for one of your 10 minute promos.

/sarcasm

[Corndad]

Now they mention the WM 17 Match lol

[Aguakate]

Hey!

Triple H finally acknowledges he and Undertaker wrestled at WrestleMania before...FINALLY.

[Rollermacka]

Wow, he admitted he lost to him before. Gonna admit didnt expect that

[Londoner]

Now they mention the WM 17 Match lol

Indeed. :roll:

[HeartBreakMan2k]

lol, I was half way expecting "if that's the case.... I guess I ended the streak"

[Aguakate]

BAH GAWD!

Triple H will be waiting for The Phenom!

HAS HE NO SOUL?!

[Rollermacka]

Aww, nobody attacked Hunter from behind when he was posing on the stage :(

[Graveler]

lol, I was half way expecting "if that's the case.... I guess I ended the streak"

I was more expecting more of a "good riddance" or something. :love: at the J.R. and King team again

[Aguakate]

lol, I was half way expecting "if that's the case.... I guess I ended the streak"

Somehow, I was expecting Triple h, kayfabe or not, to announce his retirement tonight.

[ClockShot]

Locked out for quite some time there.

[Rollermacka]

New Geico commercial, pen mightier that the sword. :lol: Priceless

[GoneFishing]

Lol BBQ sauce....

[Rollermacka]

BARBECUE SAUCE!!! BARBECUE SAUCE!!! BARBECUE SAUCE!!!

[ClockShot]

Bookerman and Josh Matthews pinchhitting.

This outta be interesting.

[RawRocks]

someone shut Michael Cole up

[Londoner]

Stupid fucking BULLSHIT FUCKING SERVER.

Also annoyed that JR has gone to the back now. :( Just have him commentate ffs.

[Aguakate]

Stupid fucking BULLSHIT FUCKING SERVER.

Also annoyed that JR has gone to the back now. :( Just have him commentate ffs.

I'm kinda expecting a Stunner on Cole.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

The Tron seems to be having problems. Goes out every few seconds. Nothing major but kind of annoying.

[jasean21]

"I hope he throws up in the back, LIKE I DO EVERYTIME I EAT THAT CRAP"

lol I hate you J.R. but I eat your sauce.. right...

[ClockShot]

Rip Hamilton better check and see if his mask got stolen.

[Rollermacka]

CLOWN IS BACK!!!!

[Corndad]

TPWW Servers are like the biggest Heels in Wrestling Today.

[Aguakate]

Man...here I was hyped up about hearing JR put over, like only he knows how, the face to face confrontation between Rock and Cena...

[RawRocks]

Just imagine how popular this site would be if Triple A would allow me to host the site on MY SERVER. But Triple A wants to keep the status quo. I have offered.

[Londoner]

Starting to dislike Josh these days. He just isn't that good, imo.

[Londoner]

Also Rey reminds me, "Sin cara's" meant to debut isn't he...

[Aguakate]

I don't know why, but hearing Cole and Josh speak, and then hearing Booker T's voice, makes me LOL...

[Rollermacka]

Another commercial?

Really?

Really?

Really?

[Londoner]

Another commercial?

Really?

Really?

Really?

Duh, its a tag team match. like WWE gives a shit!

[Londoner]

Sick kick Cody!

[HeartBreakMan2k]

How is a knee to the face anything close to a big boot to the sternum.... so glad Booker is out there..

[Rollermacka]

Lol, Booker is getting excited off the tag. What I would have gived to hear Booker say "Business is about to pick up"

[Londoner]

Crowd's hot tonight.

[ClockShot]

ANGLE SLAM?!!

[Rollermacka]

Angle Slam!!!

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I fuckin hate Booker as a commentator.

[Aguakate]

Fans LOVE Randy Orton...

...if only he wasn't so boring and bland...

[Londoner]

lol fuck i must've missed the angle slam, funny if that happened.

[Londoner]

BAH GAWD AUSTIN/HHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ClockShot]

STONE COLD! STONE COLD! COLD STONE!

Mmmmm. I can go for some Coldstone Ice Cream right now.

[Rollermacka]

Right now Bischoff is on the phone with his lawyers trying to figure out a way to sue WWE over that Angle Slam

[Aguakate]

BAH GAWD AUSTIN/HHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAVE THEY NO SOUL?!

DAMMIT!

[Rock Bottom]

LoL at Randy Orton taking shots at Angle. That was funny.

Guess that's in his arsenal now. Also, Austin looks like he's feeling good lately. Glad for him.

[Rollermacka]

Mmmmm. I can go for some Coldstone Ice Cream right now.

Blue Bell Ice Cream is better!

[Aguakate]

LoL at Randy Orton taking shots at Angle. That was funny.

Guess that's in his arsenal now. Also, Austin looks like he's feeling good lately. Glad for him.

I wonder if anything will come out of The Rock and Stone Cold's "meet and greet" last night...

[Rollermacka]

I'm already sick of this Sin Cara guy. WWE needs to get some REAL luchadores from Mexico like Electroshock... or Jack Evans :shifty:

[Jura]

COLDSTONE!! COLDSTONE!!

[Rollermacka]

WHAT!

[jasean21]

Is that Tyler Perry?

[Savio]

Alicia foxx is a tough enough kid? lol

[Londoner]

Lol can't see any of these people doing anything in WWE.

[Corndad]

Wow how damn tall is that one girl.

[Aguakate]

This version of Tough Enough doesn't have the same feeling of being "real" as the other one did...

...Stone Cold's attitude makes it seem so scripted and fake...like he's acting tough.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Rima is so damn fine.. and yeah - I know that's a "duh" statement.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Alicia foxx is a tough enough kid? lol

Her sister actually.

[Rollermacka]

That guy with the afro and the one in a vest two sizes to small look like total Douchebags... their my picks

[jasean21]

Damn Christina

[Aguakate]

TERRA RYZING is on Tough Enough!

[ClockShot]

What are the going odds on how long they'll stick around in the company?

Maven lasted what, a year, give or take?

[Corndad]

Is that Alicia Fox's sister?

[jasean21]

Damn the ladies are real

[Gass]

I fuckin hate Booker as a commentator.

Agreed.

[Savio]

Husky Harris?

[Savio]

Rebecca Black?

[jasean21]

[Corndad]

Freakin Booker sounds like a Pedophile lol

[Emperor Smeat]

How do you figure? The show hasn't even premiered yet

[Aguakate]

PUERTO RICO REPRESENT!

[Savio]

Tall Darren Young?

[Gass]

All of these "kids" piss me off. Absolutely no interest in Tough Enough.

[Rollermacka]

Gonna switch to hockey while this goes on.

[Savio]

Jimmy Kimmel?

[Corndad]

Stun them all HAHAHA

[HeartBreakMan2k]

BE MIZ!!!!!!!!!

[Aguakate]

How do you figure? The show hasn't even premiered yet

Just from what I've seen...like the part where Stone Cold says "Your haircut is pissing me off!"...

...just sayin'...I may be wrong.

[ClockShot]

rofl

Stun them all chant.

[RawRocks]

For God's Sake

[Londoner]

[HeartBreakMan2k]

STONE COLD! STONE COLD! STONE COLD!

[Londoner]

Where's the music.......

[Aguakate]

Huh...

...What's the meaning of this?

[Rollermacka]

Stone Cold has alot less ring rust than Rock does

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: crowd booing at the passing of the beers to Tough Enough people.

:lol: A-Ry with another weekly beating.

[ClockShot]

Dude, Austin got some serious beer handling skills.

[Londoner]

crowd boooooooo's

[Juan]

Miz is going to get laid out by Austin the night after getting laid out by the Rock :(

lol

[Londoner]

Should've played the music right before handing out the beers really.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

:lol: crowd was booing at the passing of the beers to Tough Enough people.

Nah, they were boo-ing the ones dropping the beer. And the last guy cause he looked like a tool.

[jasean21]

That stunner looked good

[Rollermacka]

That segment didnt have enough WHAT!

[Juan]

Should've played the music right before handing out the beers really.

[RawRocks]

[Londoner]

[jasean21]

Evan is jobbing tonight

[Aguakate]

LOL what the heck happened on that intro? Where'd Evan come from?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

"Maybe you guys can be Facebook friends."

LOL

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Del Rio rules</font>

[Corndad]

Bourne's gonna job. He just appeared out of no where

[Aguakate]

LOL t Booker T and Josh arguing...

...Booker will call him a "nigga" at any point.

[Rollermacka]

HE GOT A BICYCLE!!!

[jasean21]

Damn

[Aguakate]

WOW.

What a move by Del Rio, busted lip and all.

[BigCrippyZ]

After some bad storms this afternoon in Nashville, the damn power was out until a bit ago and I missed some of RAW! :(

Obviously I missed JR & King kicking off the show on commentary, but what else have I missed in the first 1hr and 15 mins tonight?

[FearedSanctity]

I know USA gave Raw a 15 min overrun, but are they really gonna fit Sheamus/Bryan, Sin Cara AND Rock/Cena in before the end?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Sin Cara got bumped I think.

[RawRocks]

This server...


:foc:

[Corndad]

Well its appropriate Sheamus/Bryan kicked someone off of Raw since they got the shaft last night. Sin Cara probably will wait till next week now.

[Corndad]

Well so much for that hahahaha

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Ooooor he just doesn't get a full match lol

[ClockShot]

HE'S HERE!

[viO]

Shockmaster 2

[Emperor Smeat]

nice Sin Cara finally debuts ... wait the ring isn't on fire like in his videos :shifty:

[Rollermacka]

Look at you little fella


Ok, who erased all of Rey's tattoos?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

That mother fucker has hops lol

[Corndad]

That mother fucker has hops lol

This. Holy shit that was crazy.

[Rollermacka]

Cena will call out the Rock and The Rock will bring it... Via Satellite :p

[Tb1]

Did he actually jump from the floor over the top rope? Narc and I aren't convinced

[Rock Bottom]

If belts meant shit I'd wanna see some cruiserweight stuff. Kudos to Sheamus btw. He looks like he's going to do his best with that US Title. Show needs that kinda stuff, always helps.

[Rock Bottom]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOooooohdhdhdhdhdhdhdhdhdhdhdhdhdhdhdhdhhdhd(WHATEVER)

MY TIME IS NOW!

ya ok

[Rock Bottom]

How can you not turn that man heel

[Londoner]

hahahahahah BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO's all round :)

[Corndad]

LOL at that guy in the crowd whipping Cena off

[Rollermacka]

Lol random guy yelling ZACH RYDER!

[GoneFishing]

Wow, major heat.

[FearedSanctity]

Did he actually jump from the floor over the top rope? Narc and I aren't convinced

Looks like his legs knicked the top rope, but yeah, he did

[Savio]

ugh shut up cena

[Rollermacka]

What I wouldnt give to have Desiel come out and jackknife powerbomb Cena. He'll botch it like always and drop Cena on his neck and/or back and retire him

[Corndad]

Why are the Rock's shirts soaked every time he comes out now. lol

[RawRocks]

i dont get the Cena hate.. i really dont.

[GoneFishing]

Holy shit, not via satellite? Thats like twice in a row, a new record.

[Rollermacka]

Team Bring It Shirts?


Really?

Really?

Really?

[Londoner]

what are they chanting?

[Savio]

How many color shirts has cena had?

[jasean21]

Fruity PEBBLES

[ClockShot]

what are they saying?

Fruity Pebbles.

[FearedSanctity]

Wikipedia wastes no time

http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/4439/1301972657009.jpg

[HeartBreakMan2k]

i dont get the Cena hate.. i really dont.

Ditto - I mean, I get the frustration that he's pushed down the fans throats, but the man himself is a legit good guy as best I can tell from everything I've ever seen. He's out there each week busting his ass for the people, I have to respect that.

[Londoner]

ugh

[jasean21]

i dont get the Cena hate.. i really dont.

it all started with CENA vs RVD at One Night Stand and he couldnt shake it afterwards

[Rollermacka]

"The Rock respects you"

(loud BOOS)

[Rollermacka]

it all started with CENA vs RVD at One Night Stand and he couldnt shake it afterwards

"Throw it back! Throw it back!"

[jasean21]

OF ALL TIME???

Hogan, Hart, Austin, Rock, HHH, HBK, Warrior, Macho Man, Ric Flair, CENA????

No way...

[viO]

Is Cena gonna start crying?

[Gertner]

Bryan got dominated. Back to wrestling in high school gyms in front of 50 fat virgins for him.

[jasean21]

"Throw it back! Throw it back!"

Cena almost cries afterwards!!!

[jasean21]

Bryan got dominated. Back to wrestling in high school gyms in front of 50 fat virgins for him.

If WWE cuts him, TNA will GRAB HIM

[ClockShot]

They missed that opportunity last night if they wanted a match.

[Rollermacka]

Why does this speech by Cena sound VERY familiar? :roll:

[Londoner]

I sense a Rock heel turn.

[jasean21]

He kinda likes to strip in front of other guys a little too much...

[Londoner]

Not really.

[jasean21]

Does the Rock, still have the same effect like he used to?

[jasean21]

Im not trying to wait a year for that unless the Rock is back to active duty...

[Corndad]

Really??? Next year's Mania lol

[Savio]

WM 28?

[Londoner]

Does the Rock, still have the same effect like he used to?

No. Annoyingly.

[GoneFishing]

What the fuck? 28?

[ClockShot]

So wait, we gotta wait till next year for this?!

[Poit]

Well, after the complaints about the builds for Wrestlemania 27 being too short...

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I mean, I get it... big match in Miami and all... but you really think you can do that kind of slow build with these two. Rock won't even be at the show half the time.

[Londoner]

WTF

[LoDownM]

Is the WWE really gonna book a long term storyline for once :eek:

[Rollermacka]

THE BIGGEST MATCH OF ALL TIME!!! TNA/WWE Wrestlemania for Glory Hulk Hogan vs Rock vs John Cena

[Corndad]

Well so much for Cena-Taker next year lol

Wait a minute.. the COre???

[Poit]

The Corre!

[jasean21]

now lets get Nexus out here....

[RawRocks]

The Corre???? huh?

[ClockShot]

The Corre?

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Cena joins the Corre?

[jasean21]

It'll probably be Austin Vs. Taker....

[Corndad]

Corre Buryfest 2011 continues lol

[GoneFishing]

Lol Booker "Wrestlemania 28 is going to be something".

[Gertner]

Im not trying to wait a year for that unless the Rock is back to active duty...

Yeah you will. You're just like every douche who says that, yet you'll be back week after week.

[Londoner]

lol, good ending. Fuck knows how they'll build this up.

[jasean21]

Not watching Tough Enough

[Rock Bottom]

Well that actually half way made sense.

[jasean21]

Yeah you will. You're just like every douche who says that, yet you'll be back week after week.

Well literally speaking/ what other alternative do we have?

Back in the day, we easily couldve turned on WCW and waited out a storyline.... and vice versa.... Vince got us by the balls...

But hey maybe Rey will lose some weight and we can see Rey vs Sincara.

[Lara Emily]

Well that was a weird ass ending. Don't know why they bothered making The Corre if this is what they're gonna do with them.

There was zero point in having them run out. Also why was Barrett taking the shots instead of Gabriel

[Emperor Smeat]

Weird for the Corre interfering part but Rock-Cena face-off was pretty good. For a moment I thought The Rock would Rock Bottom Cena when he kept shuffling around.

Good Raw overall with almost all the short matches of Mania getting better amount of time tonight or even being on tv.

Sin Cara vs Sheamus should be interesting if it becomes an actual feud although it means Bryan now has nothing to do.

[Gertner]

Well literally speaking/ what other alternative do we have?

Back in the day, we easily couldve turned on WCW and waited out a storyline.... and vice versa.... Vince got us by the balls...

But hey maybe Rey will lose some weight and we can see Rey vs Sincara.

Don't watch. That's an alternative.

[Team Sheep]

Did he actually jump from the floor over the top rope? Narc and I aren't convinced

Nah he used a trampette.

[Aguakate]

Well that was a weird ass ending. Don't know why they bothered making The Corre if this is what they're gonna do with them.

There was zero point in having them run out. Also why was Barrett taking the shots instead of Gabriel

Why does it HAVE to be Gabriel?

Geez...

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Should have been Slater - not Gabriel. Much more hate-able.

[Savio]

elimination on the first day?

[Lara Emily]

Why does it HAVE to be Gabriel?

Geez...

Cause Barrett is the star of the group and Jackson the muscle. OMRB and Gabriel are the small guys of the group

[Aguakate]

Am I the only one who gets the feeling that this Tough Enough seems to be too fake and scripted?

They look like they're acting on everything they do...

...the original Tough Enough just felt and looked "real", had a whole different feel to it.

[Aguakate]

Cause Barrett is the star of the group and Jackson the muscle. OMRB and Gabriel are the small guys of the group

Ok...Barrett is the star of the group...Gabriel is one of the small guys...so you have a problem with Rock going after the "top dog" in the group, and not one of the little dudes?

[Savio]

Austin shit his pants?...not Sid?

[Aguakate]

Austin shit his pants?...not Sid?

HAHAHAHA!

Austin shit his pants in South Africa wrestling Yokozuna!

Yeah!

[Lara Emily]

Ok...Barrett is the star of the group...Gabriel is one of the small guys...so you have a problem with Rock going after the "top dog" in the group, and not one of the little dudes?

I think the whole thing was pointless, it didn't do anything for Rock/Cena and made the Corre look like idiots, Barrett getting his ass kicked was the icing on the cake.

[Lock Jaw]

Hmmm... a LOT can happen in the course of a year. If they can actually pull this off, then kudos to them. Hopefully they don't just continue on in the year, and only start building to it/talking about it again at Royal Rumble.

Come to think of it, does this mean Cena is out of the Rumble next year? Since he already has a match at Mania?

[Aguakate]

I think the whole thing was pointless, it didn't do anything for Rock/Cena and made the Corre look like idiots, Barrett getting his ass kicked was the icing on the cake.

Ok, but they've been making Nexus/Corre look like idiots for almost a year now, and Barrett has gotten his ass kicked a couple times as well, so...nobody will remember who The Rock Rock Bottomed...he was just a tool.

[Lock Jaw]

I think the whole thing was pointless, it didn't do anything for Rock/Cena and made the Corre look like idiots, Barrett getting his ass kicked was the icing on the cake.

Thought they were gonna do a thing where The Corre beats them up to regain credibility, and then Rock/Cena have to team up to take down The Corre over the next few months (With Rock helping Cena via Satellite)

Then when they just started to beat up The Corre, and especially Barret, I thought.... "Uh-Oh! Lara Emily is gonna lose her shit over this!"

[HeartBreakMan2k]

lol, Alicia Foxx and Melina.

[Aguakate]

lol, Alicia Foxx and Melina.

BAH GAWD! AUSTIN SHIT HIS PANTS IN SOUTH AFRICA!

DAMMIT!

[Swish]

I can already tell next years mania is going to suck even worst.

I mean, booking a main event match the next day?. It's never been done before.

I'm starting to think this is the very end of Entertainment..

People have waited long enough for Rock vs Cena, I'll give it 3 months. before it's forgotten about. The Rock from now will go back to making suck ass action films.

Josh and Booker suck they don't deserve to be commentating on Raw. Bring back the originals. Get rid of Cole and place him backstage where he belongs..

Yeah I thought hmm maybe they'll use this as a way to fix what happened last night but nope just nothing but more burial.


And people said I was overreacting when I said Barrett was fucked as soon as he went to Smackdown, when I said he wouldn't win his Mania match, etc... Shit they don't even give him mic time anymore. It's pathetic.

The Corre run in was just pointless.

.. Read my fucking LIPS!!. MAKE ME

[Testicle]

I'm ok with it except that it ruins the potential Undertaker/Cena match....

[Aguakate]

I'm ok with it except that it ruins the potential Undertaker/Cena match....

...they kinda left the door open to a possible Triple H/Undertaker rematch, so who knows?

[#1-norm-fan]

Holy shit I LOVE this! I remember being pumped when Kennedy announced the night after winning MITB that he was gonna challenge for the world title at the next years WrestleMania (I think he even said it would be against 'Taker, oddly implying 'Taker would hold the title for a year.)

A one year wait for a WrestleMania match. This is fan-fucking-tastic. By the time WM 28 rolls around, the anticipation is going to be absolutely RIDICULOUS! I'm depending on this crowd to trump the Toronto crowd during Hogan-Rock match. And this match itself is likely to be much better as well.

You know what else was never done before?

A national wrestling promotion with nationally syndicated television shows called the WWF.

A flagship, internationally televised pay-per-view wrestling event called WrestleMania.

I guess you could consider those somewhat successful things that had never been done before. :roll:

It's called innovation and risk man. If you truly have that big of an issue with WWE, don't watch it anymore.

Typical 2011 wrestling fan.

If they have a match at a PPV with little or no build-up, they bitch and moan.

If WWE tries to do something that's never been done before, and build up a match for a whole year, they bitch and moan.

Anybody who has been watching for a while I've got a questions: When did they start the build on house shows and television for the build for Hogan/Bundy for WM2? It seemed looking back that they definitely were planning on somebody when Bundy squashed SD Jones. Anybody know when they started the feud?

It's been tried before Mr. Kennedy planned to cash in his Money in the Bank at WM24. Then he got hurt or suspended and he quickly dropped the briefcase to Edge. The crowd seemed pissed but probably due to the fact that they wanted to see Cena/Rock last night.

Even then, there was no match set. It was just Kennedy vs. whoever the champion might be. And he could have been using it as a decoy and ended up cashing it in early in a surprise move. I was excited about the possibility though.

This though is just incredible. They're really trying for an all-time high anticipation. Even Hogan/Rock only had a couple months. This is the best thing WWE has done in longer than I can remember.

Also tones down less on Rock burying Cena and comes off as more of a rub. The question is now, what happens with The Miz.

I wonder if the winner is already determined. Hmm

I wanna say Cena is the obvious winner. Rock winning what will arguably be the most anticipated match in pro wrestling history and then probably leaving for Hollywood again seems like such a bad idea when it can be Cena's signature match.

... But it's in Miami. Rock's hometown. And unless WWE works wonders with Cena's character in the next year, that place is gonna RIOT if Cena wins. lol

You know what else was never done before?

A national wrestling promotion with nationally syndicated television shows called the WWF.

A flagship, internationally televised pay-per-view wrestling event called WrestleMania.

I guess you could consider those somewhat successful things that had never been done before. :roll:

It's called innovation and risk man. If you truly have that big of an issue with WWE, don't watch it anymore.

I understand but we are only on the 2nd day after Mania and already main event match's are being planned. look back at previous mania's. I understand that they can no longer do what they did years ago due to most of the big guy's almost retired and doing other projects.

So it's bound to be hard. What I don't understand is, why wait until next year?. Why couldn't they have done it this year. and then next year throw Taker against Cena. or something. As for Raw. it was an OK night.

Well, if they have one whole year until the match happens, they better be planning and rehearsing it to perfection, or else it will be a major disappointment.

They have no excuse for the match to be lackluster with this much time to prepare.

My ultimate guess is Cena goes into the Road to WM as the champion and whoever wins the Royal Rumble will want to insert themselves into the Rock/Cena match.

I honestly think its a brilliant plan, but they need to have the Rock wrestle at least a few times in between. It cant be "Cena wrestles a full schedule for 12 months while the Rock is off making movies and isn't seen again til next March"

Also maybe overlooked is the fact that Taker wont face Cena which means they might have just booked Taker/HHH 3 last night as well if he does wrestle again. But my guess is that they have to be leaning towards him not coming back if they decided not to go with the match vs Cena.
