What's the story behind it though? There's been no feud that I've noticed.

Mr Wrestlemania wants to end 'The Streak'.

Body of baywatch, face of crimewatch.

It's in Texas this year isn't it? Some sort of "King of Texas" angle?

I very much doubt they'd turn either of them heel, but I'm sure they can do the storyline easy enough. HBK starts talking about getting rid of JBL and how he's looking forward to 'Mania and proving he's the best the state has to offer. 'Taker reminds him he's from Texas and is undefeated at 'Mania. Hey presto, fight set.

taker got in HBK's face the other week(rumble i think) about being jbl's beeyatch. That's where it started.

i'm wondering if they'll go 3 way with this or just jbl out of the way quickly.

Also, i'm again wondering where the jericho angle is going and what that's leading up to for WM. The whole legends thing is straightforward but who is there for him to fight, austin's a no no, hogan's on the outs at the moment.

There ain't anyone jumping up that'll get the fans onside and make a supposed historic match.

Dwayne Johnson?

Indeed.. my bad.

Hardy v Hardy
Orton v HHH
Michaels v Taker
Egde v Cena
MITB

Worth the money already.

There's a couple of pics surfaced this weekend of Austin in his wrestling gear. WTF is in Texas - could happen. To see him beat Jericho & stun Rourke would take the roof off.

I'd also guess at Trish beating Beth by Rosa ing things up. Keeps things in balance.

Probably MVP v Kennedy, Khali v ???, and priceless v M&M would round a top PPV.

He won't come back yet (if ever). Especially not against someone like Jericho.

Oh god, not again.

It's looking like a strong Wrestlemania card this year, alot stronger than recent years. HHH v Orton, Edge v Cena and Taker v HBK could be three superb 'main event' matches. Add in Hardy v Hardy and a MITB and you have 5 very good matches.

Whilst WM is around the corner, what's everyones favourite matches and build ups to WM? Mine is the Austin/Rock WM 17 build up. It captured everything that the build up should capture and the match was superb, except for the ending (although probably necessary due to the Rock's movie).

Austin's respective build ups to WM 13 and 14; his feuds with Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels were awesome IMO. If Austin 3:16 was born at KOTR 1996, then the I Quit match with Hart was when it came of age.
The general build up for the entire WM 14 card was the best ever for me; every match had great heat surrounding it, which added a lot of spice to a generally strong card as it was.
A noteable mention also for WM 10, and Bret-Owen.

BOOM

Search ECW Chair on a certain known website, one of the greatest clips i've seen.

i think they really need to do some big pushing now to get some oomf behind some of the other feuds, orton/hunter will sort itself out next week, without exploding.

They need to get into overdrive on the undertaker match, with that i reckon they should've blown off the jbl feud at the rumble(in hindsight) to give a slow burn build up.

Likewise with the hardy's feud, there was the incident at the rumble, jeff's been off tv for no reason since then(due to a chair shot) and they've done bugger all with matt other than have shane helms get ted, without it even leading into a match at NWO. TBH i was kinda expecting matt to get involved with the elimination chamber match and screw jeff over again,

A lot of work to be done.

i'd like to see miz and morrison in a worthwhile match as well, chances are one or both will be in mitb but it would be nice to give them an opportunity to dick about and act dumb as .

Got one of Triple H's face after it happened?




I wouldn't mind their current feud with Carlito and Primo ending at Wrestlemania. There would have to be some kind of stipulation though, like a winners take all title match, since they have already had a few matches in the last month or so. I don't think there is any real need for 2 pairs of tag titles anyway now since Miz and Morrison spend most of their time on smackdown.

The one where the ring is filled with folded chairs by the fans?

Wrestlemania 13 and 14 were at the start of the WWFs golden years. They had some strong and intense storylines which resulted in some great matches, such as Austin v Dude Love, Michaels v Undertaker (Hell in a Cell) and The Rock v Mankind. I doubt that the WWE will ever be this good again.

Thats the one, Styles tries his best to make them stop, but one bloke just keeps shouting for more

Christian to win MITB anyone?

The Hardy's feud kicks off on this weeks smackdown. Together with Umaga & Koslov challenging for the right to compete for the "streak" at WTF.

And dicking round applenty from the tag teams.

I really think they need to take it down to 1 world champ and 1 tag champs. 2 world titles devalues both and wwe care so little about the tag titles that there seems little point having 2 sets of belts

Pretty good bump from Steph it has to be said.

She sells better than Shane has ever been able to.
Why does he bother throwing 'punches' at all during his cameo appearances on TV?
