Despite dozens of rumors regarding WWE bringing in past stars for WrestleMania XX, Vince McMahon is said to be very against the idea of making the show focused on "old timers." Big names from the past may still be involved, but not in major matches. They may hold a ceremony or be spotted in the crowd or be involved in some other type of segment. That doesn't mean one legend may not return for a match, but do not expect a match like Hulk Hogan vs. Randy Savage or Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat, as has been rumored. Vince wants the focus of WrestleMania XX to be on the new stars and the future of WWE, not the past. After weeks of talk that Mick Foley would return to the ring at WrestleMania XX for a match against Triple H, it appears that WWE has turned against the idea. Right now, if WWE decides to involve Foley at the show, it will likely be in a tag team match or as a special ref. The reason for the turn against Foley/Triple H is that most feel Foley will not be able to get back into "ring shape." Triple H is also in nowhere near the condition he was in when he and Foley had their classic matches. Both Foley and Triple H are also somewhat against the idea of a rematch, feeling that it is best to not come and spoil the legacy of their past matches by trying to do another one. Obviously things can change, but right now, WWE is no longer putting much stock in doing another Foley/Triple H match. Credit: PWTorch.com VIP Audio Update

Wasn't Liz part of the Horsemen for a while?

I'm going to get banned for this, but maybe they should team Gunn with Kanyon or Gunn and O'Haire. Give those guys something to do. I would say O'Haire and Kanyon but WWE is too lazy to build them as a team, or hates both guys. Gunn is already known among the marks and is "best" when he's in a tag team anyway. Gunn with either of those guys would get over and put on better matches then the Bashams or APA.

Brock Lesnar and Sable were recently connected romantically by a newspaper. The truth seems to be that the two are very good friends and do hang out together. Brock, however, is living with a woman who he has a 1 year old child with. - Some are surprised that Matt Hardy and Lita are not "inseperable" backstage as some thought they would be. - Zach Gowen is not injured. He is not being used because WWE is simply not scripting him into the shows. - Kidman is ready to return after taking a few weeks off. - Spike Dudley is set to return after resting his bruised back. - Billy Gunn is slated to return in December.

I'd rather see him make a surprised return and attack Cena. Have him say he's sick of seeing guys like Cena, Benoit and Holly steal his spot against Brock and lets get Angle back to being a heel where he belongs.

Leave HBK alone! He's been selling his suppose injuried back and working us over for years. Poor guy is probably tired of selling it!

I wouldn't look too much in the Lesnar/Big Show comment. I think that was just a sloppy mistake and Brock just talking to make a point. Speaking of sloppy mistakes, Nathan Jones last week in the rumble started to punch Big Show from behind and BS turned to him and you could tell he said something and then Jones had that goofy look on his face where he tries to be mean but looks like he's ready to crack up laughing. I could imagine Big Show saying "You fuckin fool! I'm on your team!"

Well, most retail stores around here make you watch those "new employee" video's before you even get on the floor. Comes with the paper work. The sexual harassment tape usually covers this stuff because all it takes is the girl, or guy, to say they were sexually harassed on the job to get the law suits flying. Relationship or not. Which is why most stores look down on employee relations.

All I'm going to say is, I saw a preview of the show for tonight and Summer drops a jacket and is wearing something red, small and sexy under it for Seth. Hmmmmm, Hmmmmmm, Good!

Don't say anything unless you have to. I been in that position myself. I was a supervisor at a "Grossmans Bargain Outlet" and I dated one of the cashiers for two months and had a drunken one night stand with another at a friends house after the first Lewis/Hollyfield fight and nothing ever came from it. These things usually just play out. Stop watching those new employee "sexual harassment" video's and getting yourself paranoid.

Damn, I thought this was another Paris Hilton thread.

As long as the don't go to commercial during the match and cut out 5 minutes of it.

I don't know what you're talking about, because I don't watch UPN except for Smackdown. Unless that's what you're talking about? I don't want to turn this into this big racist thing. I always liked the Fresh Prince. Just saying they made white folks lower then the black characters.

Like this is something new. This has been happening in wrestling for 100 years. Americans get their ass' kicked in Japan. Americans get murdered in Mexico. America makes fun of everyone else.

Jay Bower. For making me discover this board in one of his columns.

I think it's pretty funny that all the people in the "spike tv video game awards" thread are still believing their going to get real matches. Boy, are they going to be pissed! I wasn't going to watch the show anyway so I could careless.

I think that was played out during the Fresh Prince. They always made white people come off stupid and goofy. If a white cast did that with black people Hell would break loose.

If you think he's boring then fine, but he's being booked great as a heel champion. He's the number one traget on Smackdown. Benoit and Cena are both gunning for him and fighting each other for the shot. Holly sucks, but there is another person gunning for the champion. Whenever Angle returns he'll probably be gunning for Brock and on top of all of this, Brock has a stable of hencemen around him. That's a mighty fine heel champion.

So me seeing Big Show, Jones, Morgan and A-Train around the champ all the time was just an hallucination? Righto. They been in the mid-card since Survivor Series. The shows have been built around Brock, Cena and Benoit. Which is nice for a change.

Yeah, you could hear a pin drop when Foley was out there.

Kurt Angle's character has become so stale and boring it's kind of refreshing having him off the shows. This way maybe I'll begin to miss him and be excited when he finally returns to action, but at the moment I don't really care. Brock is doing great as champion. Some fresh faces like Benoit and Cena are near the top of the card. Hosses are being kept away from the top. Not just Angle, but other stale characters like Vince, Steph and Taker are off the shows at the moment. Angle being away for a few weeks/months may be a blessing for Smackdown.

How is this a Raw spoiler?

I'm excited for Smackdown! Unfortunately, the next day on this board will be terrible because everyone has high hopes for this match, just like the Iron Man, and will rip the match apart. "Brock didn't sell the arm." "This match is overrated." "Benoit couldn't carry Brock." "WWE screwed up by not putting the title on Benoit when the crowd was behind him." So in advance, let me just say.... shut up and enjoy the match!
