    So is this a correct list of guys McMahon has pretty much run off, or may them quit the announcing gig?

     

    Foley, Coach, Tazz, Styles, Adamle?

     

    Well, I don't know if Coach or Tazz fit here since their contracts were up and they chose not to come back.

    Well, what more could he accomplish in WWE? He gets to spend time with his wife and kids now and he will make a TON on the indy circuit. I bet every promoter is trying to contact him for various ECW revival events. I'd expect ROH to give him a call too.

    To do what? The only thing he could do would be to make appearances, sign autographs, etc. He isn't going to wrestle.

     

    By that logic, ROH shouldn't have brought in Rick Steamboat, Bruno Sammartino, or Ric Flair either.

    I'd assume the 3way title match will go on in the middle since it's received less hype than the Orton-HHH match. To me, that indicates Big Show will win the title since either an Edge or Cena win would get the crowd too excited. No one really feels one way or the other about Big Show right now, so I think it would make more sense for him to win and get no reaction instead of draining the crowd for the rest of the show. You can establish his face/heel status starting the next night.

    I personally expect Big Show to leave Mania with the belt because that's the best option (as opposed to Edge being an opportunistic heel or Cena getting the feel-good win less than 6 months from his last title win).

     

    I really really hope they do a double-turn for HHH/Orton with Priceless double-crossing Orton and joining HHH. That's the only way this makes any sense.

    I think this is another symptom of Vince's current indecisive nature regarding booking. It really didn't make much sense to do a meaningless gimmick show when ECW has zero storylines going into WrestleMania (aside from Money in the Bank).

     

    Also, ECW may not be long for this world.

     

    While WWE handles all the creative aspects of its programs, [Kevin] Dunn says the company works very closely with its partner networks on marketing and branding to get the most out of each channel's demographics.

     

    For example, Dunn says WWE is working closely with marketing, development and creative execs at Sci Fi to develop a rebranding plan for "ECW."

     

    "The marketing and the branding is definitely a 50-50 effort," he says.
