1. He is going to win the "Money in the Bank" by overcoming coming another Carlito/Masters alliance.
2. He will lose the Tag Titles the next night to Carlito and Masters.
3. He will have a crazy blood feud with Chris Masters during the promotion of the film!
4. He will win the WHT against anyone if the movie is successful.
5. If the movie flops, he loses to anyone except Triple H.
6. If and when he beats Triple H he'll lose the title in the next pay-per-view.

Even if the movie is a hit it doesn't mean he can draw money as a character in WWE and HHH will be feuding with Cena right through the period his movie is out,,,,,,,,,your just guessing but i will bet with you right now that he doesn't get the WWE title

Triple H notices two midcarders getting dangerously close to over.
Triple H: HEY KNOCK IT OFF YOU TWO!!I love how he's so chill. That's how you're supposed to be a champion, not freaking out with Jim Carrey-esque movement in an attempt to seem intense.

hunter rider- If his movie makes money, his "character" already DID his job.
Anyway, a box office success opens up chance for a sequel. In which the pre-production of that movie will be his title reign, and when production begins he will lose it in a "Hell in the Cell" or "Buried Alive" match.
If he is box office failure. It really depends on how they handle the Triple H feud. If HHH is champion by the time the Kane/Chris Masters/movie promo feud is over he'll certainly win because you need him around to atleast to promote its immediate release on DVD.
If the WWE is extra careful and makes Cena champion, Kane won't win but he'll still main event for the sake of the DVD sales.

Random B horror teen slasher movies always do reasonably well on opening weekend that still doesn't mean anyone is gonna pay $30 to see him wrestle,the movie will be mildly succesfull b/c teen slasher pics always are but thats doesn't have anything to do with him being in it

Stacy calls WWE "A circus"
Reported by Colin Vassallo
E-mail: editor@wrestling-online.com
Feb 23, 2006, 13:36
- Stacy Keibler was a guest on the 'Mark and Kim Show' on KOST 103.5 in Los Angeles this morning to talk about her Dancing With The Stars appearance. Stacy said that since starting the show she had movie offers, TV stuff and different endorsement deals coming her way and she is now living her dream.
When the host asked about WrestleMania 22, Stacy said she's going to have a meeting with Vince McMahon to see what's going happen after this. Stacy added that for the past seven years she's been traveling 'with a circus' four times a week, paying for her own hotel and rental cars and no health insurance from WWE. She then threw in a shot at Triple H saying, "Triple H makes all the money!" Ouch! You can listen to the MP3 of all this courtesy of the 'Mark and Kim Show' below:

The WWE gave her a platform but it's not as if they did her a favor. She got to where she is by doing well on that platform, she wasn't handed anything. If Stacy has had enough and can take advantage of other opprtunities, I don't see that as a problem or her being ungrateful.

From an artistic point of view,the photo is great with how Spidey looks like he's sulking and also gives the impression that the movie will be much darker than the first two. But I will be pissed off if they say that that is the symbiote. Where's the completely white eyes? The white spider on his chest?

WTF? Are you kidding me? I used to hate Triple H for about everything he was worth, but i recognized his tremendous inring/outring potential... NOW, after he came back, even though he obliderated one of my all-time idols Ric Flair, I find myself loving him more each week!!!!!
The biggest part is that no one can monologue anymore the way he does! Triple H is classic with a mic in his hand. I find myself cheering everytime he shows up on camera, and I'm crossing my fingers for him to become champ again. Face it, NO ONE looks better in a custom suit than Triple H.
And i definitely enjoy Cena and everything he offers, but Triple H is now a classic character and with so many old school veterans out of the game, he's as good as it gets right now in wrestling!

I was skeptical at first. After thinking about though, it does sound good (especially if Angle goes over next week like I think). I'm interested in seeing how they build it, particularly the Rey-Randy dynamic. That card needs to shape up though. Something else has got to come about.

That was probably the best idea they could gone with. Cena is going to get booed relentlessly and they have to know that. I actually thought there might have been something left to his face run, but they turned right back to the same garbage that people are rebelling against now. That match is gonna be ugly and leave a worse taste in WWE's mouth then when they booked Steiner/Triple H.

Yep,they may execute a decent match in the ring but it will be a train wreck when it comes to trying to tell the story as the crowd will be going against what the angle is supposed to be
The fact that this is the biggest show of the year and they still booked a guy that can only get cheers when wrestling Edge is very odd and seems to lean heavily towards HHH wanting to be face Cena one on one

I think it's only a one time special, but I don't think the ratings be nearly anywhere Raw & SD!. If they do a point larger or more than the average iMPACT, it will be a harsh blow to Spike's supossed "optimism" with TNA.

Wow!! This is serious news to me. I may live in the Midwest but I didn't figure I was this far out of the loop?!?!? To be honest I was never a Cena fan in the beginning but I've grown to like as much as anyone today...Maybe b/c I jumped on his bandwagon late, I've failed to notice a demise in popularity?? Will it really be THAT bad, and what is the "garbage that people are rebelling against"? My friends all still dig him a lot.

Yep,they may execute a decent match in the ring but it will be a train wreck when it comes to trying to tell the story as the crowd will be going against what the angle is supposed to be
The fact that this is the biggest show of the year and they still booked a guy that can only get cheers when wrestling Edge is very odd and seems to lean heavily towards HHH wanting to be face Cena one on one
Are you saying it could end up like the Rock/Hogan at WM? Not as "big" of course, but i mean the crowd swaying? I honestly thought i've been hearing more and more cheers for Triple H during his current rise from recovery. On RAW when he finally won the triple threat match, I could have sworn the crowd was on the fence/cheering for him. Do you see this happening at RM22?

I think that the crowd reaction to HHH when Cena tried to bow up to him on RAW and the crowd backed HHH is what you will see at Mania only much louder as Chicago will be digging a guy like The Game so your spot on very much like Hogan/Rock

I honestly had an untainted image of him until just now. That's interesting, but I couldn't get into his schtick when he ruled SD. Therefore, I watched it much less than RAW whenever he was constantly rapping and plugging this whole whigger image...But I've enjoyed his stint on RAW ever since Summerslam in 05'.

I see,i only asked because from the reports ive read Cena is popular with women and teens but the 18-30 demographic hate him in most arenas
He's got 2 main problems,1 is that he isnt a great worker,he bumps well but for a face his offense is weak
His biggest problem though is his gimmick,every match he is like Superman beating the odds,now that works if you have a ton of cred but he doesn't and a rap character is not a multi demographic character like Austin.Rock or HHH so he will always have trouble getting a good section of the crowd behind him

Yeah pretty much. If you look to past post (like a couple hundred pages back) he was given a lot of respect when he was the top midcarder, but he still wasn't anything special. Once he won the WWE title, they "Deisel-ed" him out (turned a cool "bad-ass" heel & turn him into a superman who kissees the fan's ass) If you notice when they go to places like New Jersey, New York, Philidelphia, Miami(actually pretty 50/50), Chicago & all of Canada, he geets a lot of boos. That's because even though he was a deacent midcard guy, he is not ready to carry the weight of the business. He started wrestling in 2000, 5 years is not enough time. He's WWE's new failed prospect, but it's definetly not the first. He may be worthy one day, but now he is still not a very good wrestler. Look at Kevin Nash, as Deisel, his WWE title run was discredited by his suddeen change & lack of ability. & a few years later he became the most credible champion WCW had at one point

That's genius, man, and totally accurate! The girls and young guys I know are the ones that like him the best, and I've always found myself disappointed in his lack of offensive diversity. Like, when he finally came up w/a submission manauver to beat Angle, the commentators went crazy to pump that up...but now he whips it out all the time like that's some sort of big deal! Come up w/some other stuff consistently! You're dead on about that, and I fall into the negative male 18-30 demo so I get it.

haha, yeah, I definitely see a lot of comparisons of Cena to Diesel during his WWF title reign. But at least with Diesel, they had the smarts to turn him as soon as they realized he was getting booed as the mega-babyface. So far, they don't seem to do anything like that for Cena :(

I think they're too worried about Cena's merchandising capacity to turn him. Otherwise, it seemed they would have done it by now. We'll see how that theory holds in these weeks leading up to WM. That little confrontation at the end of Raw did not go well for Cena. It's only going to get worse when he and Trips go to the inevitable in-ring promos and tag matches.

The touring Superstars of RAW were caught amid an escalating political crisis Friday, as the president of the Philippines locked down the country after what was declared a failed attempt to overthrow the leader from power.
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo called for a state of emergency and the military went to high alert, fortifying the presidential palace and arresting demonstrators celebrating the 20th anniversary of the fall of former dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
WWE Champion John Cena, Triple H, Women’s Champion Trish Stratus and many other WWE Superstars were asked to stay in groups and when possible remain in their hotel rooms because of the chaos and potential for violence. Citizens were told that all rallies and protests were banned and would lead to more arrests. By late afternoon, thousands were in the streets in defiance of the government’s orders, according to multiple media reports.
Despite the danger, 15,000 determined WWE fans braved the streets and filled the Araneta Coliseum for a successful RAW live event in Manila. There were no reports of violence at the venue, and all WWE Superstars and personnel are safe and accounted for, WWE.com confirmed by phone.
RAW’s Superstars are in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, for two live events as part of WWE’s continuing expansion into foreign markets. The Superstars of SmackDown recently set attendance records in Mexico and last year were equally well-received in Europe.
The U.S. Embassy in Manila has issued a Warden Message to American citizens in the Philippines, advising them to take prudent steps to ensure their personal safety during this uncertain time.
I think this is the most interestling news story around. Even if WWE was not mentioned, how come no other news place is talking about a rebellion in the Phillippines?

It does smell like a set-up. When I wrote I wasn't looking forward to it, I should have been clear that I just don't like the angle with Shawn, not specifically this KMAC. For some reason, none of this is resonating with me. Seems like the same thing he did with Hogan a couple of years back. It was barely tolerable to me then. Now, it's more of a 'can we get this over already?'

Yeah, I wasn't digging it at first, but the inclusion of Jannety made it much better. You could have Jannetty totally resenting Shawn because Shawn became a star while Jannetty became nothing. Then you could have Vince basically saying he made a mistake when he made Shawn a star instead of Jannetty and he's now going to rectify that. Plus, wouldn't it be great for Shawn's final opponent as a regular to be against his former tag team partner? :)

I felt the same way about Triple H when he was on top for so long...I couldn't wait for someone to beat him and take over. I didn't think he had the carisma to be the tentpole for the WWE. But, ironically now i want him back in the saddle...he's really won me over ever since he returned from rehab!! He's shown everyone what it's all about, both IN AND OUT of the ring, and he's brilliant as a performer whether he's winning OR when he's getting pummeled by someone like BigShow. He's been an excellent example for everyone to learn from....bless that man!

He's getting old. He can still pull out a good match, but hee has accomplished everything he can in the business, his spot is forever marked. If he left now, he cements his spot as one of the most respected. And having him come in for another great match on special occasions is the secret to keeping a legend on top forever.

I never thought Shawn would return to wrestling, so his run the last three years has been a great ride. I also figured he would retired by now back in 2002, but he's still going on strong for the most part. I'm glad I've been able to experience his whole WWE career, and if this is his last match as a regular, I hope he goes out with one of the best matches of his career.
Hopefully this will be a HBK v. Marty Jannetty or Shane McMahon match, the former prefered.

To think, back when Shawn first made his return to the ring against Triple H, it was said that he would only wrestle every major PPV(WM, Summerslam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble). Then they said that he would wrestle every monthly PPV. Then all of a sudden, he became a regular performer again. I would say that we got lucky that he returned full-time after his career was almost over...

02-26-2006, 02:47 AM
More than likely, Angle goes over. They did Orton/Taker last year and it might seem tired. Taker's style really doesn't lend itself to a 3-Way Dance either. Of course, I could be wrong, but I'm expecting the wrestling machine to walk out with the belt. I also expect Henry to play a role in it; something like "Nobody's gonna beat Angle but me."
The Flash!
02-26-2006, 03:01 AM
Yep, thats why I said that Angle had the best odds. And you're right about the Taker/Orton thing, they'd just be repeating it all over again. Angle, Mysterio, Orton would make a great PPV IMO. As for where that leaves Taker, I'd like to see his feud with Henry continue. After he lifted him I was in total awe, especially with the age he's at now.
Mister J
02-26-2006, 03:06 AM
I was thorougly impressed with Taker's finishers on Henry. However, I'm still a bit sour on Henry as a main eventer. It's probably because I've seen too many of his failed runs in the past. I'm just not really seeing where a feud with he and Taker could go. Unfortunately for me, I feel that's exactly where they are heading.
Taker should go over when it comes to his match with Henry, hopefully easily, dropping Henry to midcard status. I personally like Henry and like to see him in the ring, but main eventing is not where his level is at. This feud should drop him to midcard status.
I have a feeling WrestleMania will end with Orton pinning Rey, or vice versa, setting up a multi-PPV feud with Angle and the title holder where Angle claims he wasn't pinned for the title, so he never truly lost and wants it back. Pretty common storyline, but if it ends up with a Rey/Angle it will be a good outcome, and possibly Angle getting back some of his heel status.
TheVileOne
02-26-2006, 04:01 AM
Angle will win next week.
The way its been going, Mysterio HAS to get retribution over Orton at Mania. Especially if HHH is going to beat Cena for the title. They can't end it with Orton winning.
Wrestlemania is looking pretty underwhelming this year. And now they are talking about doing Benoit vs. JBL...um...ugh. God forbid they give Benoit a quality opponent for Wrestlemania like in 2001.
Mister J
02-26-2006, 06:06 AM
WrestleMania is truly truly underwhelming this year. I'm hoping something can be made out of a Benoit U.S. Title match and the proposed MITB. Other than the Triple Threat match, there's really not anything there. Hope it comes together.
I'm just glad I'm not paying for the program this year. The past years have at least had matches I wanted to see. So far there are only 2 confirmed matches, and the rest of the rumored matches are all pathetic.
I'm a huge Foley mark, but the man should stay out of the ring. It's just not fun to watch him anymore. Let Edge do something productive with his spot at WrestleMania. Henry v. Undertaker is a match I'd think to see on Smackdown!, not the biggest PPV of the year. Hopefully Hogan will be nowhere to be seen. Benoit and JBL. Sorry, as much as I like JBL, I think on a stage like this Benoit should wrestle someone closer to his level he has worked well with in the past (since Mr. Kennedy is currently not an option), such as Regal (or maybe I'm just a Regal mark, who knows anymore). The tag divisions... hell, I won't even go into those travesties.
Also, I haven't read **** on the Women's Division. What the hell is going on with that? I say have a Women's Battle Royal for Trish's title with all the divas from RAW and SmackDown! and just have an all out brawl. Wouldn't mind seeing Melina with gold post WM. Money in the Bank 2 is just a gimmick match that should not have made it's return. Benjamin and RVD should go at it for the IC title since RVD has already been punted from the WHT scene before he even got started, so give him at least some gold. Helms, hopefully, will hold the CW title until then and defend it in a one on one matchup with either London or Kendrik. Ahh, to be a dreamer.
I do want to see Cena v. HHH because I want to see if Cena can work a high profile match and actually put on a good match at this (less than) spectacular finally.
So far the only match I have confidence in is the triple threat with Orton, Mysterio and Angle, not just for the match, but for the potential matchs that can follow from the main event. With Cena v. HHH, all we can expect is more Cena v. HHH after WM is over. But with SD!'s ME, we get three different scenarios, all of which are good and can produce a positive series of matches.
Hmm, I think now that I got it all out, I feel much better.
Oh, yeah, I caught No Way Out on Thursday, and that Taker/Angle match was one of the best matches I've seen WWE put together in a while.

Prior to putting Rey Mysterio back in the WrestleMania 22 main-event, there was speculation that WWE might have Chavo Guerrero turn on Mysterio to set up a match at WrestleMania. That idea never got off the ground, pleasing a number of wrestlers who disapprove of the direction WWE took in using the late Eddie Guerrero's name in storylines.
The use of Eddie Guerrero in storylines has been toned down, although it is not known if any specific dialogue between wrestlers and WWE officials made that happen. It is known that Mysterio, Chavo Guerrero, Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko spoke with a WWE writer about the storyline's direction, but the concern never made its way to management.
In fact, as has been reported, Stephanie McMahon stood behind the angle when writers criticized its taste.
The McMahon defense of the storyline likely prevented more wrestlers?especially those without strong political stroke?from taking an open stand against the angle. Thus, very little heat falls on the wrestlers who were actually involved in the on-air storyline.

I was thorougly impressed with Taker's finishers on Henry. However, I'm still a bit sour on Henry as a main eventer. It's probably because I've seen too many of his failed runs in the past. I'm just not really seeing where a feud with he and Taker could go. Unfortunately for me, I feel that's exactly where they are heading.
Henry doesn't do one thing for me. He's an ice cube of a speaker for one. Two, he has failed so many times in the past, there's no credit to what he can do. Three, why would he stand a chance against a consumate professional like Angle. Four, most importantly and I'm not discriminating, he's just too obese! Like, it's no fun to watch an obese man try to carry uppercard clought anymore! This isn't the mid-late 90s and Henry isn't Vader!!
...And speaking of Vader, was that not the most embarrassing scene when he showed up about a month or two ago and just fell around, completely out of breath?!?! He couldn't even fit into his costume anymore, but he still had it on!! He looked horrible and it was a total freak show, he looked like a whale in a thong!!

Interesting development with the Spirit squad offering Punk to join them to get on RAW
Didn't that happen way back when the WWE actually did want Punk for the Spirit Squad? :confused:

It was awful, that's for sure. But my best friend and I laughed our a$$es off when he lost his balance and fell over!!! Much props to his Japan/WCW reign, it was classic!

It all depends on where he is wrestling. WWE put him in the ring with someone younger and faster than him in a match too long for Vader to currently work. When I saw him live in November, he wrestled a short, slow match with a similarly large sized wrestler and he came off as entertaining. I can't say it was a good match, but he at least tried his best.
Hell, he at least moved better than Abdullah the Butcher did.

He pretty much said the same at the Feb. 11 ROH show. "I can't rub these tattoos off. I've tried!" He then commences in licking his tongue and rubbing his forearm, then shrugs.
It's a real shame the man is not on Raw or Smackdown right now where a man of his talents is sorely needed. But than again, WWE would just **** him up and give him some ****ty stories and a new gimmick.

Vader was tremendous back in his Japan. He was the same in WCW until Hogan killed all his heat. I had lost much of my vision of Vader as a heel until that Starrcade match with him and Flair. That was a damn good match, granted it was mostly Flair carrying him. It still showed me how credible Vader could still be.
I saw when he showed up awhile back and you're right Sarge, it was sad. Admittedly, I did laugh...alot. Afterwards, I thought about when I first saw him as Big Van Vader as opposed to what I had just saw. It was a very striking dissimilarity.
Can't wait for RAW tomorrow! :up:

No but seriously I hope they're happy and live happily forever. Triple H did acknowledge what has been said about him and he said everything goes through McMahon.
So if anything blame McMahon for allowing everything to happen. If what Triple H says is true, then Vince definitely deserves 100% of the blame since he's the boss and has allowed crap storylines to materialize.

WWE developmental diva Angel Williams was scheduled to debut on SmackDown as part of the JBL/Jillian Hall storyline, however she was recently injured while training.
The plan was to have Jillian Hall return without the mole and be pushed as now being beautiful, and somehow managing someone who is feuding with JBL. Angel would resume Jillian's previous role as JBL's assistant.
However, Vince liked Jillian's performance in the angle where The Boogeyman bit off her mole, and decided to keep her in the role.
They may still go back to the previously planned angle once Angel's blown out knee heals.

Well FallenAngel, since you like Daniels, I recommend Night of Tribute. Show from November, features 2 great matches with Christopher Daniels. A triple threat match with Matt Sydal and AJ Styles. AND a world title match with Bryan Danielson that goes half an hour. Both are awesome matches.
I also recommend Final Battle 2005, probably the best ROH show of the year. Daniels has a 4 Corner Surival match on it with Samoa Joe, BJ Whitmer, and Jay Lethal that I rated 4 stars in my review. It also features 2 MOTYC's in Danielson vs. Marufuji for the ROH world title and Low Ki vs. Kenta for the GHC Jr. HW title. Low Ki/KENTA is being hailed as THE match of 2005 by many.

The Wrestling-Observer Newsletter reports that Kurt Angle was not pleased with WWE's decision to make his WM22 title defense a three-way match.
Although Angle has no problem with Mysterio, he was looking forward to a classic one-on-one WrestleMania main-event and feels that the three way match greatly changes the dynamic.
While the first Samoa Joe-Christopher Daniels-AJ Styles match proved that a classic bout can be made of a triple threat match, the matches rely more on spots and create an inherent disadvantage for wrestlers looking to put on a memorable show

**SPOILERS** WWE SmackDown! Taping Results
Thanks to Ryan & Richard Gray of WrestlingNewsWorld for calling in the following results so us tonight.
The arena is said to be nearly sold out for this supershow. Only a few seats remain in Washington, DC at the MCI center.
SmackDown! opens with Booker T vs. Tatanka. Tatanka goes up top but Booker T counters and hits the axe kick. The Boogeyman comes in from the crowd (behind the announcers booth) and distracts Booker T. Tatanka gets the rollup for the pin.
Kurt Angle vs. The Undertaker in a title rematch is announced as the main event of SmackDown!.
A WrestleMania 22 promo is shown promoting the three way main event of Randy Orton vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Kurt Angle for the title.
Randy Orton comes out to new music to face Super Crazy. Richard said it was more than he expected with Super Crazy hitting some good high spots. Orton gets the win with an RKO after a decent match that was given some time.
Matt Hardy & A Mystery Partner vs. MNM is announced for later tonight.
JBL vs. Chris Benoit at WrestleMania 22 promo is shown.
MNM defeated Matt Hardy & Animal, who was Matt's mystery opponent. MNM dominated most of the match. I'm not sure how this ended, but after the match, Hardy shoved Animal and the two brawled. Animal worked over Hardy's knee and left the ring only to return to do the same thing. Basically a big Animal heel turn.
Promos are shown for the Hall of Fame ceremony with Eddie Guerrero and Bret Hart.
Fit Finley vs. Bobby Lashley is next. Finlay was DQed for throwing four chairs into the ring and trying to use them. The two brawled after the match and a slue of referees came out to split the two apart. The two brawl all the way up the ramp way to the back. Crowd loves Lashley.
They show the parking lot of the MCI Center like they normally do each week from arena to arena.
Footage of Jillian getting her top ripped off by Krystal last week is shown. There will be a match between these two next week on SmackDown!
William Regal and Paul Burchill are shown talking backstage and puts him down for being a pirate. Burchill will have his first match next week.
Kurt Angle is out to loud "You Suck" chants. The Undertaker soon follows. There has been absolutely no in-ring mic work this week at all. It's been all wrestling and this is our main event. They may edit in some backstage segments later on due to it being a super-show.
Kurt Angle controls the early part of the match. When he goes to the top, it is countered by Taker who gains control. Taker hits a big boot to Angle which knocks him to the outside. Taker continues the beat down with a closthline on the outside followed by a huge leg drop. Back in the ring, Taker goes for a pin and gets a long two count. The crowd gets behind 'Taker. Angle counters with an arm drag. The two get back to their feet and Angle connects with a suplex. 'You Suck' chants from the crowd. Taker tries to counter and misses a big boot to the face. Angle hits another suplex and then goes for a sleeper. This match is going back and forth with Taker hitting the snake eyes on Angle. Taker misses a big boot and Angle hits with a German n suplex. After a botched chokeslam by Taker near the end of the match, Angle applies the ankle lock and Taker reverses that back into a chokeslam. Undertaker hits a tombstomb on Angle and then Mark Henry runs out with Davari and then Henry beats Undertaker on the outside. Henry slammed Undertaker through the announce table and talks smack and I believe this is where the show will end. Angle is on his way to the back.

JBL vs. Chris Benoit at WrestleMania 22 promo is shown.
MNM defeated Matt Hardy & Animal, who was Matt's mystery opponent. MNM dominated most of the match. I'm not sure how this ended, but after the match, Hardy shoved Animal and the two brawled. Animal worked over Hardy's knee and left the ring only to return to do the same thing. Basically a big Animal heel turn.
Promos are shown for the Hall of Fame ceremony with Eddie Guerrero and Bret Hart.
Fit Finley vs. Bobby Lashley is next. Finlay was DQed for throwing four chairs into the ring and trying to use them. The two brawled after the match and a slue of referees came out to split the two apart. The two brawl all the way up the ramp way to the back. Crowd loves Lashley.
They show the parking lot of the MCI Center like they normally do each week from arena to arena.
Footage of Jillian getting her top ripped off by Krystal last week is shown. There will be a match between these two next week on SmackDown!
William Regal and Paul Burchill are shown talking backstage and puts him down for being a pirate. Burchill will have his first match next week.
Kurt Angle is out to loud "You Suck" chants. The Undertaker soon follows. There has been absolutely no in-ring mic work this week at all. It's been all wrestling and this is our main event. They may edit in some backstage segments later on due to it being a super-show.
Kurt Angle controls the early part of the match. When he goes to the top, it is countered by Taker who gains control. Taker hits a big boot to Angle which knocks him to the outside. Taker continues the beat down with a closthline on the outside followed by a huge leg drop. Back in the ring, Taker goes for a pin and gets a long two count. The crowd gets behind 'Taker. Angle counters with an arm drag. The two get back to their feet and Angle connects with a suplex. 'You Suck' chants from the crowd. Taker tries to counter and misses a big boot to the face. Angle hits another suplex and then goes for a sleeper. This match is going back and forth with Taker hitting the snake eyes on Angle. Taker misses a big boot and Angle hits with a German n suplex. After a botched chokeslam by Taker near the end of the match, Angle applies the ankle lock and Taker reverses that back into a chokeslam. Undertaker hits a tombstomb on Angle and then Mark Henry runs out with Davari and then Henry beats Undertaker on the outside. Henry slammed Undertaker through the announce table and talks smack and I believe this is where the show will end. Angle is on his way to the back. Sounds ok, I guess. The ME and the ending don't sound too good, though. Thanks for the spoilers.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NOOOOOOOO! Why the HELL do they have to shove Mark Henry's fat ass in our faces when NO ONE FREAKIN' CARES to see him in the WWE let alone wrestling one of their bigger draws in the biggest PPV of the year. Jesus Tapdancin' Christ!

I figured Henry would interfere. Yet another reason not to look forward to Wrestlemania.

Would've been cool, but they can enshrine Owen in a few years or so along with Stu Hart or British Bulldog and have Bret induct them.

Yes,yes,I know,the HOF thing is on April 1,but April 2 rhymes with do. :mad:
Oh for ****s sake enough about Henry's weight. The man is far from fat. His body weight suggests a more muscular frame that a fat one. Trust me, I know what a fat person looks like and Henry is not ****ing fat.
