Kane is the brother of the Undertaker - "The Big Red Machine"

Wrestlemania has got some good matches so it should be really good to watch lucky you LondonFox..hope you have a great time

Thanks mate, I'm sure it will be great. Going to the final Raw show before Mania and Mania itself is going to be quite a week. Now it's getting closer I'm getting more and more excited.

It's a shame Shelton Benjamin couldn't get a spot in MITB. I think he is more deserving of it than Matt Hardy. I don't dislike Matt but his career has gone absolutely nowhere since they re-hired him. If he dosn't get paired back with Jeff than his career never will go anywhere. Shelton was arguably the MVP of the last two MITB matches.

I hope Jonny Nitro gets a spot on the card. I can see them doing some sort of tag team match with MNM and London and Kendrick and maybe a few other teams - mind you, after MNM, Londona nd Kendrick and the Hardyz you're really scratching the surface for tag teams. Cryme Tyme do not deserve a spot at Wrestlemania.

Shelton was excellent in last year's MITB, when he jumped from out of nowhere onto the side of the ladder - incredible stuff. IMO he is probably the best true athlete in the WWE, he deserves a shot as a Main Eventer.

The Tag Team division has been poor ever since Raw and Smackdown became seperate brands. I loved the days of The Hardyz, The Dudleys, Edge/Christian, The Acolytes, Los Guerreros etc - but now the Tag Team division is dead and buried - Cryme Time, The Highlanders & MNM have not been able to resurrect it.

Shelton should be in MITB, but he might be injured after that fall he had during his match with Jeff when he was on the ropes and he slipped, it looked pretty nasty, I hope finlay isnt in the match, hes so boring and he isn't high flying superstar that is worty of a spot in MITB, i can see randy orton being in the match after their tag match on monday night.

Kane won't win, he isn't abel

 

[M17TT C]

Kane won't win, he isn't abel

is it because he is too 'stoned'?

Here you go...

I guess Kane and Khali is official now and we're gonna get Benoit vs MVP for the US Title.

 

[MHS]

Kane v Khali is decent.

Benoit v MVP is not so good. Benoit is and always has been one of my favourite wrestlers, but how MVP has received a push like his is unreal, he has no talent in the ring or on the mic.

Jerry Lawler and Nick Bockwinkel will also be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

I don't think MVP is that bad. He's not up there with the upper mid-card guys like a Mr. Kennedy but he has much more of an upside than Carlito or Chris Masters will ever have. We've also got the ECW match with the new breed (Elijah Burke, Matt Striker, Kevin Thorn and Marquis Cor Von) vs the ECW originals (Sandman, Sabu, RVD and Tommy Dreamer). I never thought I would see Matt Striker or the Sandman at a Wrestlemania. Do you guys get ECW over in England? I've also heard there will be a tag team battle royal on the show so I guess we will see the like s of Shelton Benjamin and Jonny Nitro. I would like to see Kenny Dykstra get a spot but I don't think he will now.

Khali should never wrestle but should come out and cut a five minute promo every week... That would be great TV

I prefer Carlito to MVP. Agree about Masters though, don't rate him. He doesn't have the same effect since the Wellness program began. I hope the Originals beat the New Breed - which consists of people who never made an impact on Raw or Smackdown. Burke and Striker have done nothing in the WWE, I liked Thorn during his Mordecai gimmick however, and "Marquis" should go back to being called Monty Brown from his TNA days. As for Shelton, I think he is so under-rated. If Orton, Booker, Edge etc can become big stars, then surely Shelton can too, I think he is far better in-ring than all 3. I like Nitro and Kenny as well.

 

[londonfox]

Randy Orton the final participant in MITB - I hope he wins it but I think Mr Kennedy will win that one. I hope Ashley gets injured at Mania - not badly but enough to get her off my TV screen for about 18 years, and if she wants to take Torrie Wilson with her that would be even better. MNM should be tag champs.

 

[Macky]

I've only just seen this thread & I have to say I'm f uckin astonished, I thought it was a piss take at first, but I'm starting to think you're all being serious! Please tell me I'm wrong, please.
Wrestling?!?!? WTF?

I'm not taking the piss lads, I'm just completely gobsmacked.

This is a serious question, please explain to me how anybody who has completed puberty could be in the slightest bit interested in greased up men wearing lycra rolling around with each other play acting.
It has the plotline of gay porn, as well as a badly acted script.

Please explain the attraction to this nonsense, justifying your heterosexuality isn't required as even bob knobbers wouldn't watch this shite.

 

[Hazzman]

What makes me laugh is. Everyone said we accepted it's a staged sport with a determined outcome by one ego-loving fatcat.

Yet go on to talk about the wrestler as if they were football
players 'prospects', he is 'under-rated', I hope he gets 'injured'. It doesnt matter whether they are prospects or not because they cant make a decision to determine whether they win. A prospect in what acting?

In fact, this kind of thing actually does dis-service to actual professional wrestlers who do the Olympics etc. Them poor beggards don't get the same money as these actors but at least they can determine whether they can be a world champion.

 

[londonfox]

I guess after Smackdown last night, Benoit vs MVP is now official. I hope Benoit retains...

I also hope, the some may say, under-rated prospect MVP does not get injured

 

[Spanky Fox]

i would want CM punk to win the money in the bank match and then move over to raw, it would be nice to see him there as i feel he is too good for the ECW show, i think they should stop ecw as it is a waste of time and space.

Yeah but they have a TV contract with the Sci-Fi Channel over here so ECW isn't going anywhere soon. I'm not how I feel about Punk. He doesn't suck but I don't know if I want him to get an upper-mid card or main event push. I can see him winning MITB though. Take out the Hardys, Finlay and Booker and you can make a case for either Punk, Edge, Orton or Kennedy winning. I'm still waiting for Nitro and Mercury to get a confirmed match on the card. It looks like they may be going up against London and Kendrick based on the last weeks and this weeks Smackdown. I think it would be cool if they made Melina vs Ashley a three-on-three tag match with MNM vs London, Kendrick and Ashley with both Melina's Womens title and the Tag Titles up for grabs. If MNM lose, the Tag Titles are retained and Ashley wins the Women's Title. If MNM win, Nitro and Mercury get the belts and Melina retains. I like Melina and I think she is decent in the ring but they should limit Ashley's in-ring work to as little as possible and this would be the perfect way to di that and to get the guys on the card.

 

[Spanky Fox]

You can order the webcast and watch it through that Spanky. The quality of picture is actually really good... I'm getting really excited now. Being at Raw on Monday was cool but it is nothing to Sunday.
