Taker/Batista next...

Boy, if Taker IS pissed about not being the main event, he doesn't even get the equivalent time of a SmackDown! main event. Pretty sad. More like the opener...

Sounds like a ton of heat for Batista.

I bet that spot with Hardy/Edge was awesome. Hope he's ok. Wonder why the matches are so quick. How's the crowd?

Hahaha this is on before the Lumberjill match.

I bet Taker loves this.

Crowd has been pretty much dead aside from the MITB.

As I said, it sounds like Batista is getting shit on. Can't tell 100% because of his music.

That is a lot of Druids

I love that camera angle on Taker

Both the SmackDown! AND ECW rosters I bet.

Huge pop for Taker.

Why the hell is Long announcing them>

Wasn't Val Venis one of the druids a few years back?

Well, there should be a crap match after this one so the crowd can recover, but I would have put Hair vs Hair instead. That way, this segment airs well before The Apprentice as well.

Gotta love booking logic. It's like when the Royal Rumble wasn't the main event last year, all so they could set up Taker making the ring collapse to scare Angle at the end of the match.

well.. the more Smackcrap matches there are in the early going, the less of Michael Cole we have to hear later!

If Taker wins and nothing big happens in the Cena/HBK match or Kennedy cashing in the MITB against Taker, then this should've been last.

So Batista/Taker entrance combined has been about an hour.

Will Kennedy cash in? - after taker beats Bats?

Bats getting BIG heat

Batista getting booed whenever he gets offense in.

LOL at Undertaker V Batista being on before Lumberjill and ECW (Although KEvin Thorn is totally better than Undertaker)

maybe so he can say that Mr. Kennedy has cashed in oncethe match is over

Battle of the Billionares will probably take 45 minutes with introductions and post match shit.

I like Thorn but no no he isnt

Can someone give me a quick rundown of what's happened so far?

- Money In The Bank: Ken Kennedy
- The Great Khali def. Kane by pinfall
- Random people danced to cheer Eugene up.
- United States Championship: Chris Benoit def. MVP by pinfall to retain

I can't understand why cole and JBL r talking up batista saying he's dominating...WTF!

He might have been, but I know for sure that he was one of the masked "terrorists" that helped Hassan and Daivari in the infamous "decapitation" attack on Taker.

Kennedy won MITB? lol weird. He'll probably cash it in soon then.

Running powerslam to Taker through ECW announce table.

Cole shouldn't be calling this match. He makes everything sound so predictable.

YESSSSSSSSSSS

TOMBSTONE. 1...2...3! TAKER WINS

TAKER :love:

Sweet. Undertaker won.

Smackdown is still not watchable.

Thank god for that.

Thank god for that.

Hey, I'm on looking at the weather reports and there's some rain heading towards Detroit. You guys notice some sort of rig or canopy covering the ring?

I'm just glad Batista didn't end the streak.

lol wtf

WOOOOOOO there is a God!!! :D

(yes, I know that's an ironic statement given The Undertaker's character)

ECW now.

What the fuck is Burke wearing?

any1 see taker say to the ref @ the end of the last match "get him (Batista) out of he ring"

5star on Striker. Originals win.

Wow what a shock

Well that was quite short...

Of course the hometown boy is gonna get the win.

So far:
Biggest pops:
1. Taker
2. Chris Benoit
3. RVD

Biggest Heat:
1. Batista
2. Orton
3.Edge

Originals win! I popped! :) Really didn't expect that! Dreamer crying

had an all grown up ad with Austin, and the kid drank milk instead of beer, LOL

Mania 24 in Orlando.

Originals win?? Wow

Thomas Hitman Hearns in the crowd.

OMG THE HITMAN!!!11!!!!

:shifty:

BotB next...

Doesn't quite feel like wrestlemania fo some reason...

no Shelton B in the MITB
no Angle
no Flair appearance

Billionaire VS Millionaire ;)

If Umaga wins this I will laugh. Pee and do an all out dance. But it won't hap-
ALAAAAALAAAAALAIIEYAAAALEYAAAAAAAA

*Damn*

Well this is a waste of the WrestleMania cart...

Battle of Billionaires next. Barber chair travelling down to the ring on a platform. :wtf:


Vince out.

Time for Baldy McMahon

Dammit, I had Originals winning by pinfall via 5star for Tipsters but then changed it to New Breed winning shadily. DOH!!!

The lesson for me, as usual... never change predictions. :(

Miss Teen USA, Miss USA, and Miss Universe in the crowd booing Vince. Hawt.

Trump accompanied by former Miss USA. Money falling from the ceiling.

So is the entrance way "morphing" as that article posted earlier said it would?

Wow, a lot more money this time than the last time.

I wonder if it's real this time...

Also, does Umaga or Estrada have the Intercontinental strap with them?

What! His hot daughter ain't with him?!

It changes for a few pyros (Kane had satanic star, for example). As far as I can tell it's just the usual video wall with custom videos.

We love ya Bobby.

Yes

Who doesn't love his smile?

Yeah, Estrada had the IC title.

3:16!!!!

What kind of poppage did Lashley get?

Austin was the only one who got any kind of real pop I'd say.

lol at Kane's pentagram

Nah, usually the hometown boy gets humiliated and jobbed out.

Austin counts to 9 with them both down. Stops at 10. He says no countout.

This match get started yet?

Shane comes down to stand with his dad.

Why do I sense the Rock coming out at the end of this match?

Austin's out

Samoan Spike to Austin.

cena - michaels better steal the show


HOLY SHIT.

Umaga just gave Austin the Samoan Spike!
Shane beating on lashley

I don't mean to veer off the matter at hand, but anyone else agree how fucking awful and unprofessional Michael Cole and JBL sound tonight? They kept repeating themselves multiple times and overselling the matches they call. Then Cole did a blatant Joey Styles impression and I shit a brick.

Shane and Umaga beating down Lashley.

cos ur a rock fan obviously

Shane setting up a trashcan for Van Terminator! HE HITS IT. Shane reveals a ref shirt.

ShaneTerminator

Austin takes out Shane.

Damn. Shane did it again. Even though I ain't watching this.

lol Trump

ROFL YES. Trump tackles McMahon on the outside!

STUNNER ON UMAGA BAHGAWD

trump just attacked McMahon...SWEET.

Stunner on umaga...lashley wins!

STUNNER to Umaga! Spear! Lashley wins

Vince just crapped his pants

Austins kicking ass

Lou Thesz press and a stunner to Shane. Vince trying to sneak up the ramp.

Damn. That match was short.

So we got Lumberjill and HBK/Cena next.

There has got to be a filler somewhere. Oh yeah. The buzzcut.

Holy shit Lashley is fast
