Undertaker Tribute-For Whom The Bell Tolls

[JaseSF]

So it looks like Taker-Lesnar, Triple H-Bryan and Batista-Orton are set so far for Wrestlemania XXX. Really wish Punk would come back but not sure who he could face. Personally I'd love to see him lure HBK out of retirement for one more match...of course, while Vince McMahon seems to believe he's coming back, I'm not so certain. If not, I imagine next week's Chicago Raw could prove interesting...could also see him being thrown in with Orton-Batista if he returned as many fans seem to associate Batista even though I'm pretty sure that not accurate (I really believe he's just burnt out with wrestling) with his leaving....Hogan is hosting Wrestlemania this year. Might be interesting to see him interact with Warrior as from what I understand, Warrior hates Hogan...

Punk was supposed to have a match with Kane at Elimination Chamber and HHH at Mania.  Seems Bryan's been thrown in that angle now.

If Punk were to come back, could easily see him taking it back, and Bryan thrown in the Title match last minute.

Actually Daniel Bryan wanting to face Triple H does kind of make sense...with the whole proving himself to be worthy of A plus status stuff.

Punk could be used in a similar fashion to prove himself worthy too I admit. The Batista-Orton match though isn't really the main event as far as I'm concerned. I suspect people will be more interested in Bryan-HHH and Taker-Lesnar.

Oh yeah... it's going to be VERY uncomfortable.

Taker-Lesnar

Finally.

and otherwise WM looks to be lame this this year Imo.

Things got a bit mixed up.  McMahon was supposed to be involved in the angle, and it looks like he won't be around, and Punk walked out.  Either way, it makes sense.  HHH has been screwing with Punk since 2011, and with Bryan since SummerSlam.  So, there you go.

Rumors are saying it looks very likely CM Punk will return tomorrow in Chicago.

Hmm, wonder if he gets added to Orton-Batista since both of them are basically heels and darlings of the Authority at the moment...

Also Shield and Wyatts are scheduled to collide again tomorrow. Looks like a must watch Raw.

[VenomX73]

Brock tossed Mark Henry into a table like he was a little featherweight...

That's some REAL power, man! Undertaker will have his work cut out for him this time.

I believe and hope Undertaker will still win at Mania though.



OOhhooo Yeeeah... HALL OF FAME!

[JaseSF]

The rumors were wrong. Punk didn't return. Perhaps he really is done with wrestling. Wrestlemania is looking pretty sad to me at this point. Probably the worst card since XI. Only Lesnar-Taker has any real interest. They've dragged the beating down Daniel Bryan thing out too long...perhaps they might add the stipulation to HHH-Bryan that if Bryan wins, he gets a title match and then he'll be later added to Orton-Batista too...really the only way they can make Mania appealing to many this year...I couldn't care less about it at the moment.

[JaseSF]

WWE today seem seriously out of touch with the fans. I don't think they would survive if they had competition like WCW in the 90s today. If they weren't the only game in town, I'd predict they were on their way out of business. They seem about as in touch as Gagne was in the 80s...or WCW was circa 1999-2000. In the interview Punk gave shortly before walking out, he explains a lot of what's wrong with WWE today...(like Wrestlemania being thrown together last minute unlike the huge build-up storylines of yesteryear)

Brock vs Undertaker is the only 'main event'.

WWE NEEDS to whip up something real fast and real great to make this 30th Wrestlemania work.

Something out of this world...

Hogan vs somebody maybe? How about Stone Cold vs Rock '1 last time match'?

Maybe Warrior vs Sid Vicious - Gimmick tag-team match... IDK.

[JaseSF]

The powers that be in WWE know they're the only game in town so they'll book whatever they want more than likely ..whether the fans like it or not. Sadly, many fans will blindly buy it regardless because WWE is the only wrestling fix for most. No doubt many will be disappointed by a lot of it though. Lesnar-Taker should go on last unless Bryan is added to Orton-Batista. Cena's opponent looks like will be Bray Wyatt. Suspect the Shield will face one another (they broke them up too soon, the Shield-Wyatts rematch should have happened at Mania). Nothing against Wyatt whom I like but there's nothing really at stake in that match. Remember years ago when the matches had stipulations when someone lost. Look at the builds we got to stuff like Savage-Steamboat. Wrestlemania III just for one example had built up feuds even in the undercard with Race-JYD and Jake the Snake-Honky.

[VenomX73]

Ya know that does sound like a good idea...

Undertaker vs Brock for the last match, just put Hogan as the special guest referee!

Have Warrior join in - interference. The place will go nuts for Warrior!

[HappyGilmore]

I could see Hogan using his powers as Mania host to put Bryan in the title match.  They've had hosts do that before.
