Just found out the Walkabout bar in Southampton is showing WMXXV live, with the bar open until 4am. Can't wait to get drunk and watch wrestling in a bar. Brilliant.

I loved how HHH bringed up the past, @ Bag Carrier Comment.

Hopefully we can see alot of HBK/UT Confrontations in the next few weeks

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Not excited about Edge V Big Show at all, hoping that it gets changed

A decent midcard match at least, if they have something bigger planned for Cena (ie. Hogan).

 

[GIMH]

I've jsut never been a fan of the Show, I guess

He's very much like Kane in the way that they constantly **** around with him.

Could have been massive (pardon the pun) post-Mania as a crowd favourite. Then they did nothing with him and turned him heel. Unfortunately he seems to have put on all the weight he lost in his time off.

Just finished watching ECW and it was a pretty average show. The six man tag was pretty good and two weeks in a row now, Swagger pins Christian. Some people on the internet are crying out that this is a burial for Christian, but I actually think this is smart booking.

Swagger and Christian are now deadlocked at 2-2. The deciding match has to happen at Wrestlemania 25 for the ECW Championship. It will be even better if it was a Extreme Rules or a Last Man Standing match, or something along those lines. After seeing what these two can do last week, a Wrestlemania match up between Swagger and Christian could be the sleeper match that steals the show.

Never been a big fan of Big Show either. He's a decent big man wrestler, but nobody really wants to see him in a Wrestlemania main event.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, was a travesty that he was in the main event in 2000 when he was truly abysmal

I think it's going to be a triple threat match. Edge vs Cena vs Big Show at Wrestlemania, unless they have plans for Cena to face Hogan.

Or this is just a big plan to have Cena enter Money in the Bank and beat Edge at the end of Wrestlemania after Big Show is done beating him up. It would vindicate Cena as Edge has beaten Cena this very way. Would be an awful finish to Wrestlemania if this happens.

Also having read some of the Smackdown spoilers, Money in the Bank doesn't look great this year unfortuantely. Some downright weird selections including tonight when Mark Henry qualified for Money in the Bank. It will be interesting to see how the match plays out.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, an imprtomptu world title match first happened at IX and IIRC you and I agreed that that was a shocking ending

 

[Retox]

When Paul Wright was training to wrestle at the power plant he could do a moonsault. If he pulled that off now it would be awesome

 

[duffer]

Show had 5(?) title reigns to try and get himself perma over and failed hard. Not a Main Eventer and shouldn't be at Mania of all events. That said I really loved his early days as The Giant. He was jaw droppingly good back then.

 

[Barney Rubble]

There's talk today that Hogan has been teasing people (on Twitter, of all places) that he'll be facing either Jericho or Cena at WMXXV.

To my mind, it has to be Cena-Hogan and Jericho-Austin. If Cena doesn't face Hogan, where does that leave him? In a Triple Threat against Big Show and Edge? That's not WM main event material. If it's Big Show vs Edge, it'll get shunted down the card in favour of much bigger matches, and rightly so, but if it's a Cena match then it's almost certain to main event.

Plus, Hogan wouldn't fit the "one last night in the spotlight" angle that Jericho's been pushing in his promos with the Legends as well as Austin would. If it's Austin, that Texas crowd will go INSANE. I personally will be marking out like never before, and that's coming from a man who always used to cheer on Rocky against Austin.

Cena to go to Money in the bank and cashing it on the same nite would be awesome if that happens.

Hmm, not a massive fan of that idea TBH, it'd be pretty predictable if Cena went into MITB that he was going to win it. Also, I think MVP should definitely be winning it this year.

After watching SD today i think i change my views on Cena now, as it might be triple threat.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Which is a terrible shame IMO.

Also not feeling Hardy-Hardy. They've dropped the ball on this one BIG TIME.

I'm feeling slightly less enthusiastic about Wrestlemania now then I was around the time of No Way Out. Triple H vs Randy Orton has been booked tremendously well and this is the most entertaining I've seen Triple H in a long time. Orton's probably the best heel going around at the moment along with Jericho and he's been extremely good in his role.

Apart from Triple H vs Randy Orton, Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels and a potential Chris Jericho vs Steve Austin match, I feel they've let the momentum slip a bit. The World Heavyweight Championship match needs to be strong and with a Triple Threat, it doesn't appear to be. Money in the Bank doesn't look as good as years previously either.

Will still hopefully catch the PPV but I was definitely more excited about the show about a month back than I am now.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

I reckon they let the momentum slip with Taker-HBK to be truthful. Involving Koslov was a pretty ordinary idea for mine.

 

[GIMH]

I'm still hoping for a twist somewhere
