BorneAgain

It wouldn't surprise me to see them both go over. HBK's a given and I can see Cena winning at Mania, so HHH looks like a team player then losing to Hunter at Backlash.

And I thought Shane looking good against HBK was bad.

Have there ever been realistic looking handcuffs in wrestling? edit: Was Vince this tan last week?

Stopped reading here. I have all the information I need to know I have to see this movie.

We need the human pyramid elbowdrop sooner or later.

Jones is fine as an inductor provided King Kong Bundy shows up, splashes him, and the commentators noted that SD had the shortest induction speech in history.

Fucked up death scene, pedophilia, a Chef Vader and sentiment. Only Matt and Trey cann pull if off.

Dark Match: Matt Hardy v. Vito. Winner-Hardy. Smackdown: The show opened with a Randy Orton promo about WrestleMania 22 and Smackdown. There was a battle royal for the last spot in the Money in the Bank match with: MNM, Lashley, London, Kendrick, Jordan, Funaki, Scotty, Kash, Noble, Sylvan, Nunzio, Dean Gymini, Mexicools, Tatanka, Burchill, Road Warrior Animal. Animal was out first. Winner: Lashley JBL did a promo about SNME, Benoit and other stuff. The building is 90% full now and the crowd is still still hot. Rey Mysterio vs. Fit Finlay saw Randy Orton run in and RKOs Rey while he was making a comeback. Finlay wins. Next up was a contract signing for WM22: Booker v Boogeyman. Sharmell checks under table before sitting down. Teddy Long then makes it a handicap match, Boogeyman vs. Booker and Sharmell. Chris Benoit v Regal was next. Benoit won with the Crossface. JBL throws a tantrum. The Main event saw Mark Henry, (without Daivari) take on Kurt Angle. Randy Orton runs in during ankle lock. Rey runs in and accidentally hits Kurt. Henry gets the 3. I guess it wasn't for the title. Post match there was a staredown. Kurt pushes down Rey and yells at Orton. Rey dropkicks Kurt, hits the 619. End of SD.

Hey the bloody nose actually helps. As does the kiss.

I miss Alexis Laree. edit: Hey they found a practical use of Ashley.

Best Torrie match ever.

This is actually not a have bad promo Lita's going for. What are they chanting?

At this point, I think the only real Foley feud I could get into is if he's Dude Love.

Crap Flair's busted already?

I love how the battle royal from WM 21 has completely been erased from history, including Masters being in it and the Masterlock being broken by Booker. edit: Wow, first time I've heard "Rulebreaker" said on WWE programming in years.

I'm surprised they haven't had someone shoot fire in Kane's face, forcing him to wear the mask again.

Subtle meta reference Vince.

HHH and Shane on the same team. Interesting to see who will not sell the face's offense more.

So the answer is just program Cena with the McMahons and the fans will cheer him.

Why should he? He got most of the offense Two hardcore matches at Mania? Thats a bit overkill. With a Ladder match and Casket match with no rules no less.

It does seem that just like the Clique back in 95, the McMahons are the only ones who are allowed enough time to get over.

Am I so deluded to think this might mean Sharmell takes the pinfall at Wrestlemania and not Booker?

So what's the count: 1 Bait and Switch 1 Handicap Match where only one man looks good 1 Long Comedy Segment that barely promoted a WM match. 1 Street Fight where the owner's son is allowed to look good against a 20 year veteran. And yet still better than what I was expecting. edit: Oh right: 1 needless retread of an ending we've seen dozens of times before.

Nothing like weak Singapore Cane shots after a holy shit bump to destroy all suspension of disbelief.

Aw crap, its Boogey-Booker at Mania. Oh well at least he's on the card this year.
