More news on Wrestlemania tonight, including the 1st match of the night

[KingofOldSchool]

--Some late notes for tonight's show. John Cena is supposed to have the biggest entrance on the show. Something of a "Motor City" theme with cars. The Money in the Bank match will open the show, which means we should all pity who is slotted second because it's pretty much a lock that match is being designed to not only steal the show, but be one of the most memorable Wrestlemania matches ever. Undertaker vs. Batista is laid out to be a "powerhouse brawl." As noted, they are both motivated because they wanted to go on last. As noted before, Cena vs. Michaels will close the show. Last night, every mention of Cena and showing of Cena brought gigantic boos and everything regarding Michaels got cheers. Of course, that's 4,000 25+ year old male fans as opposed to 75,000 or so who will be at the show. Still, the company does expect Cena to be booed out of the building, so if it happens, nobody is going to be surprised. Shane McMahon was pushing to open the show doing the same role that Vince did, to stand in the ring as the host and perhaps introduce Aretha Franklin. Stephanie was trying to bury the idea to anyone who would listen. There will also be a dance contest of some sorts with people that will include Eugene, Fabulous Moolah, Mae Young and the return after maybe 15 years of the one-time Dr. of Style, Slick

LOL @ Stephanie burying her own brother

Sick I ordered the thing for MitB so I can turn it off after the first match

:shifty:

Donald Trump has told WWE he does not want his match (or the hair shaving segment) to air at the same time as the Apprentice airs on NBC. Since The Apprentice airs during the final hour of WrestleMania, the Battle of the Billionares will definitely take place earlier in the show.

THE DOCTOR OF STYLE SLICK IS GOING TO BE AT WRESTLEMANIA!! I CANNOT MISS THIS.

[Kane Knight]

They know he's gonna get booed, but...

[KingofOldSchool]

who cares? The fans don't have a voice in our booking.

[Innovator]

I've heard MITB is getting 30 minutes

Do you think MITB is first so that the winner might cash in for a match later in the night? Giving plenty of time to rest up for the second match.

It would fit with the Taker/Batista match not beiong last, but it's probably a bit of a stretch.

Yah but that would mean either Batista beats Taker or someone the MITB beats Taker, cause they surely wouldnt be dumb enough to have taker squash to people in one night when they can save the second match for another ppv.

I have a feeling Undertaker wont be undefeated after tonight.

Well, the theory is Taker dominates Bats, Someone (I think the favorite with the Smarks is Ken Kennedy) beats Taker cashing in his MitB shot.

I want Kennedy to win like that, but i'm quietly rooting for Finlay too. I think Finlay would be a great champ.

Saweet if this is true.

[Londoner]

It lasted about half of that last year.

Finlay would be cool, but I don't think he'd be credible.

I'm not even sure about Kennedy, but I'm already blowing him anyway. :D

Well, definitely some promising news. The PPV really hasn't generated any interest for me (not in the traditional WM way), so I'm hoping they pull out all the stops to make up for it.
