Decent show, Hogan's spot, Piper playing to the crowd chanting 'What?', Michaels-Angle, Orton-Undertaker, HHH-Batista and JBL-Cena were all solid matches. Although I think Wrestlemania 20 was a lot better.

No the show was not aired live...it was at 4 o clock on the west coast.

The one shown today before Heat was edited from the one last nite. Hogan's speech was different, the chants were shorter.

That would be a good line up, I would switch the Sumo match with Taker/Orton though.

How do you join a set-up AIM chat? There are three ways On the AIM buddy list there is a button that says chat, copy and paste TSMManiaChat into the chat room box that has a lot of numbers. If you cant find the chat button, go up to the file menu, and under 'People' you will see 'send chat invitation'. If you have your name on your buddy list you can also right-click on your name and find 'send chat invitation'

I got the time mixed up but luckily caught the last half hour. Really good crowd, wish I could have been there. You know there had to be some people in the crowd who just wanted to get on with the show instead of cheering. But very historical. The secret is out though...the Big Show isn't that mean of a guy...lol. I'm watching the replay tomorrow

Batista vs HHH - Batista JBL vs Cena - JBL HHH vs HBK vs Benoit - I picked HHH and was happier with what really happened Eddie vs Kurt - Eddie Brock vs Angle - Brock HHH vs Booker - HHH HHH vs Jericho - HHH Rock vs Austin - Austin HHH vs Foley vs Show vs Rock - I picked Rock because he had been on fire the previous months.

No chance of this happening

There's always a 'OAO PPV Thread' made the day of or the day before the show. Although it gets really crowded, and more people come on after the show.

Batista vs HHH - Could go either way, but the build-up seems to be in Batista's favor. My pick: Batista Cena vs JBL - JBL has been on a roll since his gimmick change, Cena's been on a major push since December. My pick: JBL, Cena could win it on Smackdown. He's definitley next in line, if his CD actually debuts in May, he could win it at Judgment Day. Orton vs Taker - Orton has been making trouble since the new year, Undertaker is getting old. My pick: Undertaker, it is Wrestlemania HBK-Angle: Both good athletes, a very competive match. My Pick: Angle, although it is likely that HBK will win because of seniority. Money in the Bank - Crazy ladder spots all around the past month, Kane has been the main focus minus his loss to Batista. My pick: Jericho, he did come up with the idea, no one else seems likely to win in my opinion Big Show vs Akebono - Big Show has not won a match at Wrestlemania, winning a match he's never been in doesn't make sense. My pick: Akebono Eddie vs Rey - Lucha style wrestling at it's best, With 'rumored' turns for either man, I see a great match with a handshake at the end. My pick: Eddie, he's lost so many matches in this feud it's time for him to beat Rey Trish vs Christy: Five time Womens champ vs reality show winner. My pick: Trish, if they are dumb enough to give it to Christy, I am smart enough to not watch anymore Should be a fun night

Another gimmick match where the winner gets a future shot at a title? Why not?! They had two single-fall fatal-four way matches for the tag titles. Seems interesting, but probably a warm-up/Heat match

It was a match that was incredibly hyped and people wanted to see, but since it was both guys last match with the company, it took all the heat away from it.

yeah this guy was funny. I saw him on Conan and he was so random it was hilarious. Sucks if it is true...however Matt Hardy was in a 'car crash' around this time a few years back before his big TLC match...so not everything you read is true.

Unless an unfortunate accident happens...just kidding I really don't know what to expect at Wrestlemania 22. With the 'alleged' draft happening again there are a lot of possibilities.

Meant to post this yesterday but here are a few talk shows featuring wrestlers hyping Wrestlemania Last night: 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin was on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson' - If you missed it, he hyped Wrestlemania, talked about being in LA and starting his own movie career with WWE Films. When asked if he was doing the 'Rock thing' he said no he was doing the 'Steve thing'. Pretty fun interview...Craig Ferguson will not be attending Wrestlemania, he will be attending the basketball games. Big Show will be on Conan O Brien tonight HHH will be on Best Damn Sports Show tonight Hulk Hogan will be on Best Damn Sports Show on Friday If I find anything else I will post it here

Yeah thats the one Recapping BDSSP featuring Triple H - Segment went 5-7 minutes. Talked about his career, tearing his quad, returning to win the belt at Wrestlemania 18, talked about his movie career, possibly playing Conan the Barbarian, plugged Blade Trinity coming out on DVD and Wrestlemania this weekend

Savage is all talk when it came to fighting Hogan. So I never see this happening. I have a feeling Hassan will get interview time and be interrupted by Hogan at Wrestlemania

Carlito...haha. No I have no idea but it will probably be one of the Velocity guys or JR...or maybe (cross fingers) Paul Heyman

I think he could...I could see it as a refreshing start of the company. Kind of like when Booker T got the title in WCW. I don't see it immediately happening but in the next couple years if he got the right push.

Well we all have our opinions, and I guess yours is made up. TNA has had a lot of success with past 'invasions/mission'...this one can't hurt

Which explains the still stagnant PPV numbers and still not being able to charge money for their shows. That's not exactly solid "spreading TNA". That TNA can't actually make any inroads in the wrestling world and have resorted to being publicity whores? -=Mike Sure they aren't a big enough company, they just want to spread the word that there is an alternative. I don't think they are being 'publicity whores'. There isnt anything wrong with what they are doing

It's worked on the east coast...even if they do throw the fliers away, the word of TNA is still spreading. And they/we hand out posters as well so it's not just paper with Jarrett's face on it. As for what are they going to prove or accomplish...it's self-explanatory I'm pretty sure if TNA Wrestlers bought tickets, they wouldn't try to ruin the show to try and spread the name of TNA. TNA does not want to see WWE fail. They want the competition.

I've been a part of the 'invasion' at previous WWE events and it is just a bunch of people hanging out outside and giving away flyers and posters. Nothing illegal or 'riot-like'

I had won tickets at wweauction.com but because my credit card maxed out, I had to let someone else have them, oh well

No! A rapper stealing from another rapper?! Who would have thought it would come to this...and Cena came up with Word Life (if I'm mistaken then my facts aren't right)
