"The Canadian Strongman" Dino Bravo This man is The only WWF Canadian Champion ever. I was a mark for his early 1990's WWF run especially.

Patriot's a great pick at this stage.

Who wants my pick before I go to bed? MW's online and Gert T has probably sent his pick to someone else, and since its a Wrestling night (SmackDown!) we might get this moving tonight.

YES.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting that at all, because the spoilers just said it was Michaels talking.

I must admit that was a pretty hilarious match to watch, but i'd rather Michaels/Taker had a 25 minute classic at Mania myself. I don't know if a handshake would work after, though, what with Takers 'character'.

You never know in this business.

He's no Tank Abbott.

Dan Severn could easily have been the third Rougeau brother.

Team name please Beast!

As Fazzle points out, you don't have to make your selections yet, but make sure, everybody, that you get your team in no later than the second WrestleMania starts. The reason for being so strict is, watching WrestleMania could give you an advantage of knowing who to select for the following month, that's why we have the deadline for before the PPV starts.

They harped on about the dog dying on TV for various weeks, but still, the segmant was pretty lame. That's just me, though.

The Matt Hardy segment was.. gay. Kissing his dog over and over? I realise the symbolism there, but, still, gay.

I'm amazed it took this long after his Hall of Fame nomination to get picked.

4-Up! Edit: I like Burke Good pick.

Yeah, I can too. I'm not going out til Monday. Heh.

Taker attacks Michaels at the end. He comes up from under the ring. Man, these spoilers were lame. This is must see TV guys.

Whoever referenced Mordacai earlier were spot on. It's very similar.

The Michaels bit was billed as a 'tribute' to Taker. WHITE druids have come out. To answer the music question: Michaels comes out to a heavenly choir type song. This is surreal. Michaels takes his hat off ala Taker to some genuine heel heat, then a chant of HBK goes up.

Yep. Rey gets the win with a 619 and top rope splash. JBL attacks Rey after the match.

After the opening match where Finlay is on the ladder, is Kennedys music playing in the background or is that the WrestleMania music?
