If I had any online funds, I'd be in. Sadly, I don't - my bank doesn't let me deposit directly, and I just don't care enough anymore to put any money online in other ways.

RE: Matches filling up the 4 hour show. We have 6 matches that might be worth the time they get, then we've got Lawler-Cole (probably no more than 10 minutes, like Bret vs. Vince), 8-man tag will take WAY longer than it should, but will just turn into a big schmozz at the end most likely, and the Morrison vs. Ziggler match. That one could be awesome if they just let the 2 guys go at it for a while, but the second Snooki gets in the ring, the whole thing probably turns into the recent TNA Knockout tag title match. Not that there's really room on the card for MITB, but there's some real garbage potential on an otherwise sweet card.

There wont be a MITB. Its officially broken out into its own PPV and they were happy keeping it exclusive to that instead of having the PPV be devalued by having a WM MITB.

Not entirely sure i agree with the theory, but im a fan of MITB and ladder matches in general so im happy enough for it to have its own dedicated PPV even at the cost of ending the WM tradition with Swagger as the last winner there.

Btw, i agree its very very weird that Kofi dropped the belt, then has been all but left off the WM card after having a not spectacular feud with Dolph to win the belt then all but ignored afterwards. Im guessing he pissed off the wrong person and/or he plain hit the glass ceiling big time.

i will allow backing in this game.

if no one offers to back you by friday night, ill do it, if you are interested.

I am in for the pool. I have to ship to someone on paypal just waiting to see if we are doing the future endeavered pool too so I can ship for both

hopefully you do. im unable to recieve non poker funds. feel free to send your picks before the funds.

Oh I will defintely get the funds. Just no point of shipping twice. I have no clue on half of the picks yet lol.

I'll probably do some picks at some point. I did pretty well last year knowing nothing at all, so at least knowing who is face and who is heel this time around I should win the whole pool :P

I'm in for the pool, not worked out my picks yet

i will back most people who want in and doesn't have online funds

I will be absolutely shocked that, if after the Cole/Lawler match, that Cole doesn't try to escape a furious Lawler by locking himself up in the COLE MINE, and will be further shocked if Lawler doesn't have a dump truck or hose or something dump garbage/human waste into the box with Cole in it.

Can somebody forward this to creative? Thx.

gotta say i marked out when Cena FUd the Rock

I kinda felt Cena got the better of the Rock with the promos too.

Whoever writes the Cena promos where he makes really stupid jokes that no intelligent being over the age of 10 would laugh at should be shot in the face. He has certainly proven a couple of times in the run-up to Mania that he can be great on the mic if you don't saddle him down with horrible material.

cena said it himself tho, he panders to the kids. kids think poop is funny. don't get me wrong, i think poop is funny too, but i mean, yeah, it's ****ing awful to a forum of people with higher than average iq's, and more so to a bunch of wrestling thread regs. but my 7 year old cousin is ****ing nuts about john cena and to a lesser extent, randy orton, because this stuff works to get kids in to these characters. he almost cried this summer when i told him that cm punk was my favorite guy in the business.

I'm proud to say that even as a child, I didn't find poop funny.

because you don't have a soul

For those of you that are getting together over wrestlemania weekend and are looking for past WWE shows to watch to warm up before the big show, I would HIGHLY recommend getting some WWE documentary dvds. Ones like the History of Wrestlemania etc. I just saw Bobby the Brain Heenan and the Ricky Steamboat dvds and they were fantastic.

I'd always thought that Ricky Steamboat and Bobby Heenan were in their prime when they were in the WWE, man was I wrong. I never got a chance to see wrestling during the territory days when it was so great. Watching those dvds wants me to go out and look for tapes of the mid atlantic, georgia wrestling and AWA etc. I wonder if wweclassic has these.

BTW, I'm in the pool as well. Same as last year, I can't make up my mind about some of the picks yet.

Stone Cold beer truck one time PLZZZZZZZ

This, except make it gasoline, and then throw a match in there.

Hopefully Pete Rose in a chicken suit shows up this year, followed by Kane smackdown

.

this is very good.

as is this

ty and fu, now im going to spend countless hours watching this. ty ftmp
