I am fine with that. They are both old. It would be like the alumni match or something. I would rather see Taker/Rock as the alumni match though.

kesha isn't gonna like this but I wonder if Sting is healthy enough to face Taker? He's not. No way he gets cleared by WWE with his neck.

If Cena is truly out, this all but confirms for me that Trips and/or The Rock will be headlining a WM match. I know none of you want to see it but Trips vs Rock is one of my favorite feuds of all time. I really don't think Rock will be allowed to wrestle. He'll be in the middle of filming the Baywatch movie then. And I think HHH is facing Reigns.

I didn't think there was much chance in hell that the Rock was actually gonna wrestle in it this year despite being there but I'm thinking that could be changing. Then again, he pretty much damn near died the last time he was in the ring. Not too mention he makes like $50-100 million a year so whatever he's getting for a Mania is a pittance.
Interesting times....

Had they not done the "Rock wins at the Rumble only to lose the title at Mania" angle a few years ago. I had a thought of maybe have The Rock win the title at the Rumble, have him vs Roman at Mania.
It's looking more & more like Trips vs Roman. But with injuries, I wonder if that'll change.

They really need to put their plans with NXT on hold for the time being. I get that you want this developmental brand that you can tour with and that's all well and good but your first priority right now should be selling out WM and you don't have the bodies on the main roster to do that.
Also cut the bullshit with Daniel Bryan. Time to cut the cord with this dude or let him wrestle. If he is on the card don't throw him on there with Sheamus or a stiff lime that. Have him be in a meaningful match. Maybe agaisnt Nakamura.
If all hands are on deck (NXT guys are available for WM) this would be my card
Number one contender for the Tag titles. Enzo and Cass vs newly turned Heel Usos(why turn the Usos? Because they sided with HHH and Vince at the Rumble and threw out Reigns with distraction from HHH. They wanted to join the Authority because they didn't want to end up poor and broke like their father).
Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens for the IC belt. Zayn attacks Owens at Fastlane thus he isn't able to wrestle in the main event of Fast Lane which is used to determine number one contender for WM main event.
Taker vs Samoa Joe. Rumors of Taker retiring and not heading into WM this year with a match are rampant. Taker comes out 4 weeks before Mania to announce he is done and can't do it anymore. Just when he is about to drop the mic and walk out Samoa Joe attacks him as he was dressed as a druid. Joe comes out the next week and yells how he never got his time to shine and he's here to make an impact and how he's always been the big dog and big dogs always go after the neck in a fight. Well the neck and the heart and soul of the WWE is the Undertaker..gong gong... Fade to black. Joe and Taker brawl and they sign the match.
Sasha vs Charlotte. No long story needed but I'd try and get Sasha away from the other two BAD members before WM.
HHH vs Reigns. Hunter cost Reigns title at the Rumble.
Bullet Club vs New Day for the Tag belts. Gallows tells Xavier what he can do with that trombone.
No idea what to do with AJ Styles if Daniel Bryan is still out with his injury. If DB is healthy I'd have him in there with AJ Styles for the US belt.
Brock Lesnar vs Nakamura
I know I know...but Jesus Christ the match these two would have with one another. No way in hell Vince would ever allow a foreign guy main event WM but could you imagine the awesomeness of this match. Heyman sold us all on Reigns the day after the Rumble. Heyman could probably make us all fly down to Dallas to watch this one.
My NXT show on Friday before Mania would be
Jordan and Gable vs Dash and Dawson Paige vs Bayley Balor vs AJ Styles main event Asuka vs Samoan big girl

As long as she's healthy for Mania. And the house show I'm going to in March. Then I'll be fine. She's sadly not being used prominently on RAW at the moment, so she should get healthy. Avoid a worse injury.
Also was going to post this....
@davemeltzerwon: WWE is taping the WWE Kids show right now in Winter Park. Izzy was hired as ring announcer. Concept is 9 yr olds announce and interview.
I legit have no doubt in my mind that 9 year old commentators would be better than the RAW team.

I watched a good part of SmackDown tonight - how long has Mauro Ranallo been announcing for the E??? He brings instant legitimacy and sounds more professional and polished than anyone they have. He was fucking fantastic.

Looks like Fozzy is planning to drop another album sometime during the summer. So I imagine he'll be back until Summerslam or perhaps Night of Champions at the latest before Fozzy starts touring.

That's great for Jericho. Makes what he does a little more unpredictable & not just a one and done. If they're so intent on making the League of Nations work & they want a Canadian, make Jericho their mouthpiece & we get heel Jericho again.
Also in regards to Smackdown, I watched the last hour (will watch the 1st later), but Charlotte/Becky was decent. Charlotte needs to learn how to throw believable punches. She's terrible at that I noticed. Watch her, it's not good.
Mauro was great. But Jerry Lawler couldn't be less interested in Mauro's facts he was throwing out. It's his first night & he said how he has been calling Becky Lynch matches since she was 18 (a very interesting fact for your new announcer if you ask me), but Lawler literally say "I don't care about any of that stuff, this is the WWE..." Seriously FUCK OFF KING!
Oh & I loved the Owens/Renee backstage promo. "Can I have a minute of your time?"...."You have exactly one minute." and he proceeds to constantly look at her watch.

So I'm thinking Trips costs Reigns the title at the Rumble and then of course they go on to their Mania match. Kinda thinking Vince & Steph in H's corner while the Rock and Rousey are in Roman's.
Crazy?

It's possible for sure. Trips ego won't allow him vs Reigns to happen on a show like Fastlane. So I 100% think we get that match at Mania. I just hate the idea of having Triple H as World Champion for 2 months in 2016. It makes Reigns winning the title even more predictable. They really don't need the title, but they want Roman to be THE guy, especially now that Cena is out.
This will be my reaction if Trips wins & is champ for 2 months.
Then again, that's been my reaction for a very long time with the WWE.
Brock vs Reigns rematch I would welcome more than Trips/Roman.

I didn't necessarily mean that Trips would win it. Only that he would cost Roman. However, if somebody does win the title and Roman gets it back before or at Mania, that would mean that he'll already be a 3X World Champ!!

It could go a lot of ways. I'm just saying I hope Trips vs Roman isn't for the title, but if they are going to do Trips/Roman, which they certainly look like they are, then it'll be for the title at Mania. The end game for WWE, whether we like it or not, is Roman Reigns holding the title high when Mania ends. They want that shot.
Now I could see them having Trips enter, get eliminated by Reigns........then Brocks music hits & he ultimately wins the Rumble. We get Brock (w/The Authority) vs Roman (w/The Rock) at Mania.

Usually I'll just unfollow, but I still support the system. YOU DON'T HAVE TO RETWEET EVERYTHING SENT TO YOU! YOU DON'T HAVE TO RESPOND TO EVERYONE'S QUESTION SO I SEE THE RESPONSE!!! FUCK. There's plenty of people I'd follow on Twitter, but I see they have roughly 75k messages. No thanks.

I was going to follow him last night too, but I saw he had over 100K tweets. Even if I turn off retweets, that floods my timeline.
I've had twitter since 2009 & I'd like to think I tweet a lot and even I only have 7K.
