Oops, did not see that. Didn't Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle have an epic match at WM once?

Yeah but I already guessed that and was told no.

How about Brock v. Goldberg?

Has anyone guessed:

Kane/Raven/Big Show hardcore title match (X-7)
Undertaker vs Randy Orton




Hardcore match doesn't seem to fit in with his picks/talk really but if it's a "hard to guess" one, I remember it having a couple good spots and nobody really having complaints about it.

Swagger at +400 good value? Also debating whether to add Barrett at +200 and Jericho at +375.

Jericho isn't winning. The other two could. Barrett is probably best value; you think if they were doing a title change they don't bump it to the pre-show, but who knows.

Also here's a precursor of our crowd for the evening with a snippet from a HOF report last night. Crowd should make the show watchable even if the product doesn't:

Anyway now that the day is here, I'm going to be stupid and get excited for the show.

I think I'll sporadically watch the GOAT Mania throughout the day as a warmup.

I just finished Taker/HBK from 25 as a warmup. Onto HBK/HHH/Benoit and maybe TLC 2 and then I'm ready. I'm not sure I'll watch 29 tonight though. I may try to go unspoiled and d/l tonight and watch tomorrow.

- The WWE creative team originally pitched an 8-man double ladder match for WrestleMania, which would have seen both the U.S. and Intercontinental Titles on the line. Vince McMahon nixed the idea, with the latest report being that he is not a fan of Antonio Cesaro.

yeah i read about that and thought the same. also read that he's allocating 50 minutes for cena/rock from hype video to celebration.

Obviously that's to build in time for Cena to be able to cut an epic "you fans can stick it, brother!" promo.

I really hope Ziggler cashes in tonight and then has a fued with Bryan over the title. They've teased it a lot, and the Swagger/ADR fued really doesn't need the belt at all.

I don't like the idea of Ziggler holding both the tag title and WHC title, since the tag titles would be so meaningless on him during his first REAL WHC run. If he cashes in, he should lose via DQ or something in the tag match.

Ive been out the loop for like three to four weeks.

Looked up the card just now, lololol. No. Wasnt planning on watching live just cos of how meh it was appearing but frankly now I am not even convinced I should dl and watch it tomorrow.

Punk vs Taker should be a good match, though I have seen none of the build (I heard about it though). Brock ending HHH's career could be cool and Cena beating the part time champion and getting mega booed is gonna be hilarious. He is the champion wrestling deserves and the champion it needs. Curious about Swagger vs ADR and the tag match but not excited bout them. Rhodes Scholars are great but fml I refuse to watch them in that match when there is a ****ing tag team champions match right ****ing there what are you doing zomg

-I think his mic skills are just ok
-Somewhat lousy character. I honestly think there was only so much they could do with the "I'm better than America" schtick.

You take those last two points, and combine it with the fact that he has no one politically who can help him, and upper mid-card is where the ceiling gets set.

I'd be pretty interested in ADR vs. Swagger if either guy, or the feud itself, was over at all. But maybe this crowd will react to anything and everything. That would certainly be a big help.

I think he's well above-average on the mic, although that's pretty subjective, and characters can easily evolve and change over time. Cesaro has been one of the few bright spots in the WWE in terms of booking/storyline/development over the last year or so (minus a couple "wtf" moments). My comment was mostly in jest though. I think you're probably right on his ceiling though, not because of anything under Claudio's control.

In light of what happened down the road between these two, it's difficult not to laugh at the pregnant pause that Jim Ross incidentally makes in the middle of this sentence.
