Look at how much he is making from all of the movies he is making.

He chose to focus on movies, no bad feelings in the locker room or with Vince. He doesnt do many apperances, as he has made it clear that he wants to be fully committed to his movies. He did however induct his dad and grandfather at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony today.

Just browsed through this thread but would like to add my thoughts.

One of these things needs to happen to please me as a fan when watching WM: An awesome MITB match, Edge winning, or Orton (would settle for Trips) winning the Triple Threat. I don't see Edge having a shot at winning, Orton won't retain, so my best options are MITB or Trips winning the ME.

MITB will be stolen by either Carlito, Shelton, or John Morrison. These guys are super solid and can put together some awesome spots (Carlito springboarding to ladder, sunsetflip-powerbombing Hardy on the 15th Anniversary show, Shelton's performances in past MITB matches, and Morrison's stuff as Johnny Nitro in his IC title feud against Jeff Hardy, most notably their cage match at NYR 07).

I would love to see HBK beat Flair and turn into an ultraheel by being super disrespectful after the match, then cutting a bastardly promo Monday night proclaiming himself the best wrestler ever since he ended Flair's career. Doubt it would happen, but if you combined this with HHH winning the title, you could push Trips/HBK for a huge match at SS. I know it's been done quite a bit, but the two can bring down the house (see: Armageddon 2002). It adds up perfectly, the two have past and HHH/Flair are best of friends.

I'd love to see Santino Morello get pushed but I don't think he has the in-ring skills yet. He's absolutely gold on the mic though. Teaming him with AAA would be something I think would work well, if he gets better in the ring.

If I was WWE I would have thrown the cash towards RVD to come in as a surprise competitor in MITB once Hardy was suspended. The place would explode if the seven guys were starting and RVD's music hit.

Anyways, I have decent expectations for WMXXIV and hope that the downspots (Umaga/Batista, Playboy match, etc.) won't be that bad. I think Edge/Taker will have some good stuff, as I thought Taker/Batista last year would suck but it was the show-stealer. I could see any number of matches stealing the show tomorrow night It could be the ECW title match depending on who wins battle royal and how much time they give it or maybe even the Belfast Brawl (yeah, I'm a Finlay mark).

Hopefully it's worth the money. Glad to see wrestling talk back on 2p2 too.

Rock gets more money, more time off, more time with the kids, and less wear and tear on his body now.

NoTalentTool, I agree 100%. The What?! chant makes me like Austin less for starting it. Although it did give Undertaker a great moment on Raw a few years back.

UT:*talking about stuff*
Crowd:What?!
UT:Say What?! if you sleep with your sister.
Crowd:Wha...

Lol, that's pretty good.

Anyway... I just realised that Wrestlemania is tonight after I tried to download it. One of my friends said it was on last night and confused me

The Hall of Fame thing was last night. WM starts at I'm guessing 7pm eastern until 11pm.

VickreyAuction · 03-30-2008, 02:33 PM

Predictions:

Triple H wins the title (duh)
Undertaker continues the streak
HBK retires Flair (duh)
Umaga over Batista, setting up Umaga to Smackdown
JBL over Finlay, because no one cares about face Finlay, or this angle
Kennedy...Kennedy wins the MiTB, but I'm open to a surprise Matt Hardy return and victory

MattSuspect · 03-30-2008, 03:12 PM

Is the ECW battle royal on the PPV channel before the start or is it on the net?

VickreyAuction · 03-30-2008, 03:16 PM

It's on the net. Whoever wins then gets a title shot on the show.

SuperSnort · 03-30-2008, 03:30 PM

where can you download WM the next day? We ordered the PPV and have it on record but am on holiday for another week

MattSuspect · 03-30-2008, 06:35 PM

My HDPPV channel is gray after I purchased, its supposed to bt the preview show. Anyone else?

MattSuspect · 03-30-2008, 07:54 PM

love the end result...but ladder match ending...wtf?

Eagles · 03-30-2008, 07:57 PM

The first two matches, were very good up until the ending. Not complaining about the results just the edning sucked,

BJLTNYK · 03-30-2008, 08:02 PM

Some very nice spots in the MITB match. Morrison's moonsault with ladder was pretty nuts.

Eagles · 03-30-2008, 08:09 PM

God that was such an ugly Batista Bomb
