Breaking news out of #Axxess: @TheCorreWWE just assaulted Vladimir Kozlov after his match with Reks. Updates to come...


Enter Big Daddy Cool?

That'd be interesting but I'd say Kofi seems like a more likely choice.

uh oh, I think the Mania buyrate may be about to go through the roof

That would be awesome for a surprise with Nash but I'm thinking its gonna be Kofi. Especially after watching Smackdown. I hope I'm wrong though. Even though Kofi deserves on the card, would be another mark out moment at Mania and make a possible backstage promo with all the Clique possible?

Wrestlemania is about to get a lil' sexier with some Diesel Power.

I will spaz and mark out and all those things if Diesel comes cruising out.

From Kevin Nash's Twitter:

Packing my boots just in case Diesel Power is needed in Hotlanta
4:37 PM Mar 31st via web

Jamaican Me Crazy.

You may not be that far from reality...if Diesel comes out at WM27, he may once again get the loudest pop of the night.

interesting

They really need to change this to Kliq v Corre tbh

Awesome, thats a swerve. Now im more confident it will be Diesel

Good cuz I was like "how the fuck do you not have Kofi on the card, in a Mania in a predominantly black city where he gets his biggest pops"

Would be a nice surprise to see Diesel there. Would add more to the WM feel of the match than Kofi would, obviously.

hahah like black people can afford tickets to Wrestlemania.

ya, fucking scumbags

Why don't they do an angle where Santino gets attacked backstage and then we can have Kofi and Diesel. Win win right :shifty:

Ha. I was expecting Koslov or Santino to be taken out on the show to make way for Kofi. I wouldn't hold my beath for Nash.

Good.

I had a problem with Koslov getting a Mania payday when he can't get over the top rope....ever.

So what are the Vegas odds right now of a Nash appearance?

If he came out I guarntee it will be the biggest pop in the Georgia dome since Goldberg beat Hogan.

Heck yeah. He'll "outpop" Austin, HHH, Cena, Undertaker, and even The Rock.

So, even though I'd LOVE for Diesel to be a part of WrestleMania, because of that reason, I don't think he will.

The Vinny Vegas odds?

<font color=goldenrod>I actually feel bad for Vlad. It's a pretty big "fuck you" to him to get removed at the last second when they could have booked Kofi in the match to start with.

He probably won't even get to work the pre-show battle royal cause he's busy selling. So he loses his Mania payday too.</font>

Diesel is going to replace him. The crowd went berserk for him at Royal Rumble and would do the same here.

I would mark out if I saw Diesel at 'Mania again, but perhaps because of that reason you mention, the fact he'd outpop everyone, including The Rock, WWE won't let it happen.

Pretty sure Vlad will get his payday, he's still part of the storyline.

Theyre not going to leave Kozlov as the only guy on the active roster not getting paid for Mania. I suspected something was going to happen to him to take him out of the match since his role these days is to tag along with Santino and take pinfalls in tag matches, but I thought it would probably happen during Mania itself. Cool to see them progressing story at Axxess.

I immediately thought that it would be Kofi Kingston, because the man really deserves a WrestleMania payday and such, but there is a lot of logic behind making it Diesel, too. Even just from his last WWE appearance -- Wade Barrett eliminated him from the Royal Rumble Match, and on the way back he had a brief exchange with Big Show.

Also, the visual of Big Show, Kane, Diesel and...Santino Marella standing together is pretty awesome, and worthy of WrestleMania. Kofi Kingston can still be a part of the pre-show Battle Royal, and could show up in this match and help the faces win.

Kofi's just not as big a star as Kevin Nash is.

They should have just kept the IC Title on Kingston and had him defend against someone. Probably McIntyre. I always hate when the IC title doesn't get defended at the biggest PPV.

And you know the crowd is going to be chanting for Diesel. WrestleMania is one night, it's one match, and Diesel being in there would help the match, as it would get the crowd interested and into the match, and I'm fine with Kingston sitting this out if it means we get Diesel instead. This is WrestleMania, the bigger the names the better.

They should've just let Kingston lose the IC title at Elimination Chamber to Del Rio, who should've lost it in the cage match against Christian. Having the IC title involved in the World title feud going into WrestleMania would've added to it and elevated the IC title. :y:

Agreed. IC title with even the smallest storyline is still better than nothing at all.

This would have actually been a really good story. I don't understand why they didn't put the Intercontinental Title on the line when Del Rio faced Kofi Kingston. It makes it look like the IC Title is not worth winning. Christian winning the belt would have been a good move, too, and further decorated him as he heads towards the biggest push of his life.

I'm back to thinking that Kofi Kingston should probably be in the match. WrestleMania is about big names, but I think it should also be seen as an opportunity to create big names. That being said, I don't think Diesel being in the corner of Team Big Show is a bad idea.
