Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2007 Each HBK and Cena are wrestling somebody from the others WM past next week. I have no clue why they are putting JBL back in the ring, is that the best opponent Cena has wrestled at WM that is available? I wonder if it will be changed, though JBL has said he has a few matches left in him and I'm not sure if he ever worked with HBK as a main eventer and probably wants the opportunity.

sluggo 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2007 If they do this reversal thing for Smackdown, are they going to get Foley or Rock to wrestle Taker and will they get Mark Henry back for Batista?

Superfly Snuka 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2007 Would it be wrong for Mania to end with Cena beating HBK clean, with no one turning, up until the celebration where a pissed of Michaels hits Sweet Chin Music to set up a rematch? Or would that not be a good idea? Actually, I like this, but I think what would be better is the other way: Michaels wins clean, with Cena turning afterwards and beating the hell out of him with a chair (to set up a rematch). Cena could even beat him with his old chain thingy. Cena needs to change things up character-wise and he doesn't need to be a goiod guy anymore to promote his movie or sell dvds (anymore). Michaels is best as a tweener heel though, when he's mostly shooting/serious (like against Hogan). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2007 I'm still calling the fans turning on Trump, and by the same virtue Lashley, at Mania. Vince is the heel, yes, but he's effective at his role and can be entertaining. Trump just doesn't work as the good guy in this scenario, not to mention he's a clear outsider. And the idea of him getting shaved bald doesn't work as the 'worst-case scenario' in the feud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Toddiwod Report post Posted March 13, 2007 My friends and I are still convinced that since Wrestlemania is on April Fool's Day, that its all a huge build-up for nothing. They'll probably all laugh about it and make fun of the fans for buying into it. Who knows? Just a theory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They'll probably all laugh about it and make fun of the fans for buying into it. Who knows? Just a theory. While it would be funny for about 3 secs, WWE would lose all credibility from the media that is covering this "big event", and piss off alot of actuall WWE fans. The people who are only casual watchers of WWE will stop watching totally, and a portion of the diehard wrestling fans, like myself, will stop watching because of being tricked/cheated (out of principle). It's one thing to have bad storylines based on Necrophilia, but it's company suicide to a degree to piss off your fanbase by essentially stealing their money by promoting something so heavily and duping them on your biggest PPV of the year. So, it's no going to happen: Vince WILL get his head shaved. Period. But I do want the fans to trurn on Trump/Lashley (which will mean the crowd will be really hot that night, which always makes for a better PPV watching-wise, in my opinion).

Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2007 Right before the hair vs hair match, they should announce that a _second_ special guest referee is coming out, and then have Bret Hart's music play, only to have Jim Neidhart walk out about 30 seconds later.

Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2007 I think Austin's inclusion makes sure Vince remains the heel and thus Trump the de facto face. Besides there is only two weeks to go and wrestling fans pretty unanimously want to see Vince bald. Besides, everybody knows that Trump isn't going to shave his head as part of some wrestling angle. I do think he'd look much better bald, but that's likely never going to happen, barring an illness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2007 While the fans aren't necessarily thrilled with Trump I think the most fans at least tolerate or respect him on some basic level. Enough to not want to see him bald. Going against a heelish Vince is an easy way to be the face anyway, since Vince is uniformly evil. Anyone else think Rey might get involved at WM and help shave Vince? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A real tribute to WM3 would be Steamboat getting inducted and perhaps a cameo role. He has his name back, so they can use it now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2007 If Beefcake were to show up, which is unlikely, chances are he'd get an Umaga beatdown on RAW before WrestleMania. As unlikely as it is, it'd be interesting to see what kind of reaction there'd be for Beefcake. He was mega over back in the day and I'm sure he/his music would get a good nostalgia reaction, even if he's considered a bad wrestler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
