She

could possibly still be there, just not compete as they would have hoped.

If that match is changed it'll go straight to being pre show dark match imo, not that i'd shed a tear.

Somewhere right now is Melina on the phone frantically to someone asking for that spot.

And by Melina i of course mean JoMo asking for melina to have the spot.

No chance of Kharma i'd say but if wwe had more time they should go for Lita & Trish (just to spite the not over in the slightest diva locker room)

For a second I was worried we'd lose out on something important.

Really enjoyed the Rock/Cena documentary and has me more looking forward to the match .

This year is too late but would anyone else like to see another gimmick battle royal again down the line with stars from the 90's rather than 80's. The one at WM XVII is a cult classic in my household anyway.

Really wanted a pipers pit with cena and rock..now that would of been cool

Howya lads,

Since this season has put me in a very wrestling-centric mood, I decided to write up a preview of WrestleMania 28 in my own unique manner. You may get a laugh or two out of it. It's the first bit of wrestling writing I've done since I left the old Fox Sports pro-wrestling site and 411mania a whole seven years ago. Not quite as big a comeback as The Rock, but I try.

Oh and there's also an announcement for Captain America's at the end. Though I suspect most of you who are interested have tickets sussed by now.

Enjoy!

Team Laurinaitis - David Otunga, Drew McIntyre, Mark Henry, The Miz, Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler (with John Laurinaitis, Vickie Guerrero and Brie Bella)

vs.

Team Long - Santino Marella, Zack Ryder, R-Truth, Kofi Kingston, The Great Khali and Booker T (with Teddy Long, Aksana, Nikki Bella and Hornswoggle)

(So no Christian, Foley, Del Rio or Rey)

good read! I enjoyed it! whos the superstar!? :eek:

DEFTLEFTHAND

I'm not understanding Christian's removal he looked to be in good shape last night. Del Rio must have pissed somebody off to go from having a world title shot last year to not having a match on the card.:(

I'll miss Rey's Mania costume design, although I've a feeling the little fella might pop up at some stage during the show. Maybe even as a late inclusion on team Teddy if someone gets pulled over the weekend when Vince has one of his pre show meltdowns.

gnfnrhead

Aksana looks like being the best thing about that match....

Anyone else think Cena v Rock could end in a draw some way? And a stupid handshake after!

I can see there been a handshake but I will go mad if it happens. Don't think theres much chance of a draw, They couldn't possibly get away with that could they?

gnfnrhead

It would be a good way to get a rematch between them. Right now, it'll be hard to get a rematch considering its about who's the best. The winner would have no reason to even consider a rematch. A draw would mean neither man is happy (and probably the majority of the crowd!) and both would be pushing for a rematch.

newballsplease

I just have a feeling something like that will happen! Never b4, never again.... Unless its a draw maybe!!

GTR63

Never before, never aga...wait, wait it may happen again at SummerSlam & then again next year at WM XXIX

not a chance.

it's a Cena win all the way down the line.

Vince is obsessed with getting him over, to the point that he has changed the angle of the feud so as not to have Rock actually go after Cena. he hasn't articulated strongly his dislike for Cena. that issue has just dropped off the radar, and now Rock reckons Cena is his last obstacle to being the best ever. he now has huge respect for Cena. Vince does not want Cena-haters' issues with Cena to be articulated, especially by The Rock, because he doesn't want him buried.

it's pathetic, and the company still refuse to learn. Vince will try until his last breath to convince us all that Cena is "the man", and that we'll finally accept him. he'll forever be of the notion that if he tells us something enough, we'll eventually give in.

the next step in that is Cena beating the People's Champion in Miami.

Cena wins, and Rock retaliates in frustration, Rock Bottoming him after the bell, demanding a rematch when he speaks Monday night on Raw. BOOM! you have your main event for Mania 29.

rumour has it WWE are going to announce their main event for next year's Wrestlemania again on the Raw following Wrestlemania.

Heres an interesting stat:

This is John Cena's first non title match appearance at wrestlemania.

Looks like theres a chance it could rain on the sunday for WM

Would suck to be in the crowd and have it raining on you!

But it would be epic to have it raining during the HIAC match.

The Rock vs The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels vs Triple H

Yeah it would actually look amazing when Undertaker is just after winning and he's standing on top of the cell, massive 20-0 sign in the background, lashing rain on top of him. Would really fit into the visual.

Hell, Vince should go the whole hog and arrange some sort of prosthetic thunder and lightning set-up.

rovert

The whole OMG how will they hang the cell was a much to do about nothing

montyrebel

If it rains at mania I hope it stays dry until the HIAC match, how epic would it be to have real thunder during anything the Undertaker does, or to see the catch get struck by lightning

CMpunked

Its hard to see in that photo the big long wrestlemania sign over the ramp:



I was uber critical of 26's set up, but this looks good. They are definitely trying something different.

Wonder why they arent using the triangular canape holder:



*edit* actually, it looks like they are using the pillars and decorating them like palm trees like on the far corner one.

Those pictures are so ****ing exciting.

What about Sheamus ending the streak next year? he has the look of a big badass motherf**ker, if its done right I can see him doing it and would love it if it was

I taught that a few mths back, if anyone is to end it. It will be someone who will be around for yrs and yrs. my money would be on Sheamus...

I think Cena V Taker could be the biggie for next year's WM

I would prefer to see HHH V Punk over HHH V HBK

unless there's a weird run-in, i don't know how they would announce it the next night on Raw, if that's what they'll do.

Cena-Taker is a pipe dream anyway IMO. i don't think Vince would do it unless his plan is to end the streak, plus, Taker's body needs him to be somewhat carried to a great match at this stage. Cena cannot do that. i'm afraid.

Punk v Austin is the big one that could happen IMO.

If Cena beats Rock which I think he will, I could see him on Raw the next night challenging Taker to see if can end the streak or even maybe challenging SCSA though Punk V SCSA would be better

it wouldn't fit in with Cena's character just to challenge Taker out of nowhere i don't think.

as i said though, Cena can't carry Taker to a great match, and i don't think Vince will have Cena as a Taker victim. i also don't see Cena being the guy who ends the streak. it would be a complete waste, unless it's part of a heel turn, and Cena is never turning heel.

Cena/Taker for The Streak just makes no sense to me on too many levels, as much as it is THE big money match.

Do you see anyone ending the streak? I dont tbh and I think Taker will and should retire with it intact

hence i don't think Cena will get a shot, because i think if he did, Vince would lobby strongly for him ending it.

i don't think he'd want Cena as a victim.
