Hawk 34

WNBA player for Detroit. I guess she's used for a female perspective. She's also one of the few good looking WNBA players. (we should make a list).

JR and Vince is that high school couple that breaks up every other month with no end in sight no matter how ugly the break ups are.

Isn't the Saliva guy a actor as well? Stick with that Saliva guy. Drowning Pool and Nickeback can handle the crummy arena rock genre for now.

Who is this Stacy Dales chick and why do they keep her in a closet for 11 months until Woman's tournament time?

In my defense, all I've done is simply move wrestlers that were on the active roster in that time period around. (often keeping most matches and angles intact) and possibly moving angles that did happen before or shortly after it into the WM time period or change the intentions of storylines. As for "contract disputes", Lesnar was still with the company at Mania. So it's not as if I changed history. He still leaves on his back. Maybe as punishment, they'd take him off the main event slot and switch that with HHH/Guerrero instead. I did alter face/heel status or which brand they worked for a few of them but that’s hardly rocking the boat. I kept it within the confines of what was going on in the company at the time but with an intent to get as many quality matches on there without being unrealistic (meaning I didn't book Benoit Vs Paul London as the main event because I'd want that to be the main event).

At least Creed had that whole "Christian Rock but we're aren't christian!" angle going for them for awhile that gave them some understanding of how they were so popular. What does Hinder really have? I never actually SEEN this band, are they really good looking guys and thus, popular with girls? It really baffles me. I'm shocked no one tried to be cute and say Daughtery just for AI hating purposes. What about The Fray? Where do we stand on that band? Is it better to be a Coldplay clone then it is to be a Creed Clone? Is that what kept them from being mentioned on this list? I don't hate them but I know some people do. Outside of that Hinder song, I don't think any song got more play then Save A Life.

Why? Because it's doesn't have a big sexy name? Rhodes' should have a great speech as well as King's and maybe Shatner will bring something to the table as well. I was disapointed that they went with the Wade Boggs move since that was a chance for Flair to do a speech since Bockwinkel and Rhodes are covered. While it won't match the awesomeness of the previous inductions, I do think we'll see a couple good speeches and a few good laughs. What will be aired on USA? It starts at mid-night, so obviously it's going to be tape delayed but will it just be the big three or will they actually show the whole thing?

Paul...Phil...see what I'm saying?

WrestleMania XX WWE Tag Team Titles World’s Greatest Tag Team Vs Booker T and Rob Van Dam © In this world, Booker and RVD move over to Smackdown to set up a one on one program with Haas and Benjamin for what should be a pretty competitive match. RVD and Booker would be the title holders. WGTT win the titles after dissension between Booker and RVD cost them the titles. Grudge Match Chris Jericho Vs Christian This program avoids the pratfalls created once the WWE writers took over the Jericho penned storyline. Trish still turns on Jericho and it still leads to the extension of the program. Cruiserweight Title 4 Way Elimination Rey Mysterio © Vs Chavo Guerrero Vs Jamie Knoble Vs Ultimo Dragon No sense in loading this show with bunch of cruiserweights. This is a Elimination Rules. Knoble and Dragon are quickly gone and it becomes a Chavo-Ray match since that was the focus at the time anyways. Rey retains the title here. Non-Sanctioned Street Fight Edge Vs The Big Show (US Champion) -In reality, Edge missed the show by about a month but he was supposedly ready to go at that time. This would be his return match. In order to set this match up, it starts in early January when Edge makes a special appearance on Smackdown. Edge puts over that he never knew who attacked him but didn’t care. It just made him stronger and hungrier. He has a confrontation with the reigning US Champion, The Big Show in which TBS makes subtle references about knowing who attacked him a year ago. Edge, snapping in a rage of paranoia attacks TBS and spends the next month stalking TBS trying to find out the identity of the attacker. Edge isn’t technically cleared to wrestle but TBS is tired of Edge’s attacks and challenges him not for the title but to reveal the identity of the secret attacker. Edge, while still in recovery agrees to a non-sanctioned street fight. Edge wins the match in a weapons filled match and we discover the identity to be Batista whom attacks Edge once again backstage setting up a program between those two Dream Match Kurt Angle Vs Shawn Michaels Simply the same program done for WM21 but a year earlier with Angle getting the ankle-lock victory. John Cena Vs Bill Goldberg In this time, Cena is still teetering on the line between full blown face and edgy popular heel. In an effort to establish their own star over Bischoff’s discovery, they put over Cena to send the departing Goldberg out the door. No appearence by Austin here. Rock n Sock Connection Vs Randy Orton(IC Champion) and Ric Flair Batista wasn’t really needed to be in the match and could have just as well served as the bodyguard/manager figure for the night and the match still work as well as it did. We get an extended segment between Rock and Flair in this one. World Title Eddie Guerrero Vs Triple H © Simple classic story. Eddy plays his usual underdog role to the bully, HHH. Probably would be been a very interesting build although learning from the Booker T debacle, HHH scales back on the racism route but focuses more on Eddie’s size disadvantage. The match would be quite good leading to Eddie capturing the title here. Two new world champions in one night might seem a little over the top but it’d work here. Tag Team Battle Royal Dudleyz Vs Le Resistance Vs Super Heroes Vs Bashams Vs Cade and Jindrak Vs Rikishi and S2H Vs APA Vs Billy Kidman and Paul London Vs Akio and Tajiri Vs Nunzio and Chuck Palumbo Short filler match. Dudleyz win last eliminating Le Resistance. Return Match Undertaker Vs Kane Not the most exciting choice but the fans ate it up and it worked to re-debut the Dead Man nature of The Taker. Woman’s Title Victoria © Vs Molly No Hair stipulation which led Molly to that horrible character. Just the blow-off to a long slow burned vicious rivalry between the two top female wrestlers of the time. WWE Title Chris Benoit Vs Brock Lesnar © They had one match and it was fantastic. After weeks of building up Benoit against Heyman and Lesnar, they aborted the program to satisfy HHH and to give Goldberg his going away gift. Of course, that aspect tanked. In this fantasy world, we assume that Benoit still wins the Royal Rumble and that Lesnar doesn’t let his disgruntled anger lead him out the door and sticks around for at least another couple months. The build-up wasn’t original but it was effective. Two wrestling machines, both a sense of physicality, endurance and submission ability. Benoit captures the title in a classic wrestling match via the Cross-Face

That meltdown just proves that he's the perfect coach for OJ Mayo. What maturity.

Yes. He's a friend of Zombie and appeared in his other movies.

A female lead and a bunch of dancers? Sure but they can dance very well and they serve their purpose well. Hinder offers no redeeming value. It isn't a case of a band getting overexposed and thus becoming hated, they are a case of tremendously shitty band that got ever worse with every single replay. Linkin Park hasn't done anything in at least a year or so, they don't count. I figure the purpose is current acts with regular airplay. Otherwise, the winner would be Crazy Town every time.

Things like Pop Songs need to be less broad, even if it's broken into decades. Each generation was different as far as pop music was concerned.

Are they injecting pizza sauce now since the scandal? For a guy who has been with the company since 1996, Henry seems to have been in OVW for 75% of that tenure.

Really, and I think in hindsight he might not have been that bad and would have been more interesting then Paul. Sanjaya is the annual WTF guy but Paul is the below average guy that doesn't matter. Sundance might not have been incredible but you'd be waiting to see what he does. There's alot they can do with 90's week or even No Doubt theme and I'll be happy to see what Melinda can do with a No Doubt song. That plays well for Gina and possibly Haley and especially Blake. Would they be able to do Stefani solos?

It still annoys me that they didn't just do a Six-Person match with these people instead of forcing Victoria/Mickie to abruptly end. Would have given two good matches instead of a crummy storyline and leaving the best female worker off the show. MnM/Londrick still have a shot at getting on the show via the battle royal/tumoil that was reported not so long ago but doing the six-person would gave still accomplished the same effort with Ashley and Melina.

I would hope for 90's week but I'm already calling for Gina doing "Ex-Girlfriend" if it's a No Doubt theme.

Batista/Undertaker is pretty much locked as the closing match. Billionaires will get the typical McMahon spot on the card. predicted order Tag Turmoil/Battle Royal (Which hasn't been officially added) Benoit/MVP MITB Woman's Title Kane/Khali BOTB ECW 8 Man Tag Cena/Shawn Batista/Taker

Exactly. They've avoided going outdoors since 1993. Vince wouldn't even entertain the idea of opening the roof at WM XIX. Obviously they have some plan or he wouldn't have changed his mind. According to Meltzer they were looking at the smaller Orlando Arena. The Citrus Bowl has to offer something that they didn't consider before. Hasn't it already been established they took the Citrus Bowl for the cheap rent and easy opportunity to sell 55,500-60,000 tickets? They'll probably solve the problem of the lack of a big tv screen (since someone said earlier that the Citrus Bowl doesn't have one) by using their usual big stage design which solves the concern that some had about poor sightlights. In essence, it'd be the same for the people with cheap seats at Ford Field. The rain is the only problem and they'll likely have a plan for this as well. WTF? Are you serious? I'll assume you aren't but just in case, WWE has run in Vegas countless times including other PPV events. There are no legitimate lines in Vegas over pro wrestling. It'd do damage for a wrestler to throw a fixed sport? I really hope this is sarcasm that didn't go through well.

Kitna is giving the same song and dance that all people give about their teams in the off-season. What's the big deal? What good would it be for Kitna to go out and say "If we get five wins, we'll be quite pleased"?

They aren't just going to show up a week before and start planning it all. Say what you want about their regular product, they put precise planning and detail in production matters. That'll be a issue they'll quickly address.

I no longer care if OSU murders my bracket, I just want Tennessee to take this thing.

This is probably one of the few times I've ever been happy to be living in Big Ten Land.

Thank you for the info. That's alot of people going in. So who does the acceptance speech for The Sheik? RVD does the speech. Sabu accepts.

They've had the line-up pretty much locked once HHH went down, all they did was have doubts about Shawn/Cena and thought about making it a 4-way with RRKO. I think we can all agree they made the right move there. UT/Batista was locked months ago, I believe even before Survivor Series. This has been a pretty well established card this time around with ample time to build storylines.
