Comparing Triple H Vs. Undertaker at Wrestlemania 17 against 27 is like doing the same for Austin Vs. Hart at SSeries 96 against Wrestlemania 13.

They're both good matches for different reasons.

The match was anything goes that is why they brawled for ages out in the crowd with no count outs, Taker hit Austin with the belt at one point didn't he?

I don't remember anything being annouced for it. Maybe the referee just bent the rules given the magnitude of the match. Oh well.
 
Wait, Punk vs Cena happened on the Tribute to the Troops?

Nope.

Punk, Show and Cena tagged against Miz, Del Rio and Henry. Punk did the Savage Elbow drop on Miz from Show's shoulders and Cena gave Henry the AA.
 
HHH ending the streak would be awful. The streak should go to someone who is on the cusp.


It would give any young star great heat. It might be cause for concern though if they pass it off to a dud. It's has to be someone with a little bit of tenure and who can carry the ball.

Triple H might take it to help feed his ego but it would essentially retire the Undertaker. I don't think his time will be up yet , especially if he's only wrestling once a year.

Would have been better if it was a 3 hour King of the Ring.Could have even advertised the new dvd to death.

I'm surprised they didn't bring KOTR back this year or Old School Raw. It's a decent set and they should of done more to promote it.
 
Possible Role for John Cena at WWE's TLC PPV, Triple H Note from RAW

Posted by Marc Middleton on 12/14/2011
- Regarding John Cena's role at Sunday's WWE TLC pay-per-view, there was talk over the weekend of making him the special referee for the United States Title Match between Dolph Ziggler and Zack Ryder. A stipulation may be in place for that match to where Cena gets added to the WWE Title main event against CM Punk, The Miz and Alberto Del Rio, making it a four-way.

Epico and Primo have had a lot of TV time lately. Each has had a victory over a member of Air Boom. I wonder if WWE is grooming them for a tag team title run?
 
I'd almost forgot Air Boom were still the champions. It would help the division if Epico & Primo had a run with the titles.

Wow! She's got........
A Wonder Woman shirt on.
 
I don't post here 'cos I haven't really watched wrestling since probably 2003 ish but the last couple of years I've liked to read this thread and results online. So I was just reading about Trips potentially facing Taker and ending the streak and I decided to post just to say that IMO Taker should retire with the streak intact.

Taker deserves the honour of the streak and I think he deserves to retire with it intact. I'm kinda surprised WWE would consider ending it, I mean, it could be useful to WWE down the line in terms of selling DVDs ('The Streak' dvd) and selling other Taker and Wrestlemania items. And plus, you know, if Taker was to ever come back for 'one more match' or anything, it could be majorly useful in that situation.

Having said that, Taker might be willing to have it end himself, in order to put someone over. If it was to end then, speaking as a somewhat casual fan bearing in mind, it should be either Kane (It's been done, arguably to death but it's a classic dynamic that fits the WM stage. Maybe the return of the mask is to groom him for a Kane/Taker WM match?) or Ziggler or Sheamus.

Good to see a masked Kane back.
 
I read that

Sgt. Slaughter appears in the new GI Joe movie.

I sure hope so,Would be a great cameo&reference to the G.I.Joe source material and casuals who kinda know him would be like"Oh his character is a military guy and this is G.I.Joe..Perfect cross-over"Making it a win-win for all fans!!
 
Lita ain't looking bad for someone who just got DUI'ed.

I think he should retire with the streak intact. The only type of person that should even be considered for ending the streak is someone that is an up and comer that could use the huge boost a person would get from ending the streak. HHH ending the streak would just be ridiculous. Like Shawn Michaels said in that promo earlier this year, what makes him think he can do what he couldn't? If they didn't let HBK do it Triple H shouldn't either. His ass doesn't need anything to get himself over, let alone being the guy to end the streak.

I mentioned in an earlier post that Ziggler should be the guy that loses but puts up a great fight to "retire" the Undertaker. If not him then Cody Rhodes is just as good in the role.

Clooney will dump Stacy as soon as she even considers getting married. That's a swear word in his vocabulary.
 
disappointed it'll be taker vs hhh III
and this is coming from someone that liked their match this year

i was really hoping for ziggler or cody vs taker
