Im actually not excited for it. Im assuming it is a Pay Per View event, so that is an automatic no, on top of the fact that its wrestling.

Just on some wrestling sites, and i think we have a quote of the year. Someone was interviewing Kevin Nash and he said something like, And I Do Not Quote :) "It's nice to be back in a building with people in it." That is so funny.
I wonder if that is a dig at TNA. LOL.

So there will be a big "announcement" tonight on Raw. I believe it will be Alberto Del Rio's decsion on what belt he will go for. Now catch this, it's not who he is going to fight (since the belt can change hands from now till Wrestlemania) but what title he will go for. Sadly I think he will go for the Smackdown Title, so this opens it up for Jon Cena to againstt Miz at WM sadly. But who knows, since WWE likes to surprise us lately.

But why oh why Eve. Where did she come from? Talk about making a story and then changing it right at the last minute with no build up. Again WWE, why do you think you are loosing fans. You have no good story writers anymore.

I saw that Nash quote. That was funny

Yep, he's going for the WHC, Im not surprised.

Eve? Really? I was fine with it not being Kong, but Eve? She's not even good enough to be in TNA.

So Raw kinda svcked. As soon as the Raw Rumble was announced, I knew Lawler was gonna win. Michael Cole was just as bad as ever. The worst part was no Booker or Nash. Booker is definitely sticking around, and Nash has a good chance because of the crowd reaction. I did realize though, that Smackdown is pretty weak, so they might both be going there. Plus, I've heard that the Nash/Big Show stare down at RR was probably setting something up between them.

I actually like the Raw yesterday. Maybe because almost all the Raw is very poor this one was better than normal. Yeah disapointing with no Booker T and Kevin Nash. From what I am reading Booker singned a long time deal, but could be behind the sceans, same with Kevin Nash, but he is short term. Then again, it's good not to have them mentioned yet because it gives time to devolpe the stories for who is in WWE right now and then bring them in.

Then again with the staredown between Nash and Show, maybe they will do soemthing on Smackdown. As it is right now, I can't be excited for the Elimination Chamber with anyone in Smackdown with no Undertaker, so maybe the 2 will go to Smackdown where there is no Cena to steal their thunder.

I missed this 2/21/11. I guess someone is suppoes to come out? I will go to youtube and see what they have up there.

*edit* After seeing the Promo, which at first I thought it was a comercial so I skipped it, but now first thing came to mind is Undertaker. Whe else wears boots and trenchcoat? So this could be his return to hype up Wrestlemania? I can't see it being a new character.

After Undertaker, I thought this was something Mankind would live in. But we all know Foley is still with TNA, so there goes that idea.

Yeah, when I saw the promo, I immediately thought Undertaker. I really don't see some new guy coming in that looks and acts like Taker. However, there is one person I have heard that has been discussed by people in WWE. Now I'd say this is just me thinking too much, and actually believing in fairy tales, but there is somebody else who walks in the dark and wears a trench coat. Sting has actually been discussed by WWE, possibly as a hall of fame inductee. I know he never wrestled there, but he was in WCW and WWE bought them, so who knows. But its probably Taker.

edit: No link, but I'll describe it for now, maybe someone will get a link. It shows a small building with dim lights on. Its raining and everything is really dark. The dim light and lighting are all that light the scene really. Its shows lower legs of someone in a trenchcoat and boots walk into frame. There's ominous sounding music playing. The person walks up the steps to the little building, and lighting lights up the building, and then it gives the date.

I doubt it. I don't think WWE wants any of the ECW guys anymore. I didn't get that feeling either. He seemed tall and the coat was just black, nothing fancy. I'd say there's a 90% chance it's The Undertaker, 9% chance its someone else, and 1% on it being Sting. Im clinging to that 1% though.

Looks like WWE screwed up on this one. The arena that is holding the Raw even that day, has posted videos of Undertakers return. I went to the link, but it was taken down, so it looks like it's The Undertakers return.

So far, Wrestlemania looks like this.

Jon Cena vs The Miz
Alberto del Rio (yes you know his name) vs Edge
Sheamus vs HHH
Randy Orton vs CM Punk
Undertaker vs Wade Barret
Nexus vs The Corre in a 6 man tag team match

my guess to be added will be

Diesel or Jackson vs Big Show
Jerry the King Lawler vs Alex Riely or the announcer Micheal Cole
I have no idea now who is going to be in the Divas title now. They really screwed it up now.

We will also have another Money in the Bank match. Christian, Dolf Ziggler, Drew Mcyntire
Kofi Kingston, Jack Swagger, and a few others will participate in it as well.

Of course Santino Marella will be in a some kind of comedy role again.

Yeah, I heard about the Mania matches too. Didn't know about the Taker thing. Oh, and the possibility of Jackson vs Show doesn't make sense. As of right now, Jackson would be in the Corre vs. Nexus match. Of course, I do have a pretty strong feeling that the Corre is gonna add a fifth member soon. They need to be equal to Nexus. I personally think that may be Skip Sheffield, but Im not sure if he's coming back soon. I also can't believe they are putting both Miz and Del Rio in the main events. I guess they're trying to change things up a bit. I know one thing, Im going to be a Miz fan for the next few months. I don't want Lawler or Cena to beat him. Also, I really hope they don't do a singles match with Lawler and anybody. I like him, but that is not a wrestlemania caliber match. WWE does have a tendency to do stupid things though. Im just gonna say this, that tag team "match" last night was stupid. Im sick of dance offs and stuff like that. Khali and Henry need to be heels. They could be a pretty could dominating tag team. They wouldn't compare to the Brothers of Destruction though.

So the rumour is now that Double Double Eee is trying to sign Steve Borden. There is also a rumour he as been signed, and it could be Steve Borden vs Undertaker at Wrestlemania. Now this could be the main headlining event.

Spoiler
Well I guess STING vs UNDERTAKER sounds more better.



*edit* So now the rumour is of the 2/21/11 rumour now could be Steve Borden now. I haven't seen this coming, and would make sence. He would be unexpected coming in, not the return of the Undertaker when we all know he will have his holiday hiatus again after Wrestlemaina again. While I think Steve Borden was really lame in TNA, I think he can have his spark he had when he was in WCW.

Yeah, I've seen the news about Sting. Like I said earlier though, Id say that it's the Undertaker. I guess I don't want to get my hopes up. Also, I really don't think Sting coming in would be unexpected. He has to be the greatest wrestler, in the last few decades, that hasn't worked for WWE. However, I don't think he's the one coming on 2, 21, 11.

After watching it again, on TV when my son was watching it, I don't think it's Taker. The boots, and long coat just don't seem like taker, a bit too fancy. If it's not Sting, and then not Taker, it's going to be really lame, do we need another character that is like Mankind?

You know, I kind of didn't get the Undertaker feel from that either, and you're right, the boots and coat were off. Im not sure. WWE really has me on the hook with this one. I can't wait for that episode. I shouldn't get my hopes up. It probably won't be that great.

In most cases everything is a let down. If it's not Sting, then I think this will be a big disapointment. How many "hypes" can we have of the Undertakers return? It's getting pretty old now.
