BTW, what's the joke about Arn Anderson, Thief???

If you think he's NOT Hall of Fame worthy, who else is??

-C

Cause he sucked! I would put in Davey Boy Smith before I put Arn in. Along with Tito Santana and Ricky Steamboat. Hell, I'd put in Ollie Andreson before I put Arn in.

I guess theres always gonna be those people that disagree on who should and shouldn't be entered into the HoF. Toni Atlas was announced on Raw last night as the next entrant. As for Arn well he did his bit, I was never really a fan of him but I have fond memories of the 4 Horsemen. I feel it's not a case of if he should be entered but when he will be entered.

 

[nekkid]

People will always disagree with something like the hall of fame because its all opinion.Hell, the first person inducted should have been Vince McMahon. No one and I mean no one was more important to pro wrestling than Vince. I think his kids or something should surprise him one year and induct him.

OK so my picks for Wrestlemania 22:

Playboy Pillow Fight: Do we care who wins this? Ok fine Torrie!

WWE Womens Championship: It's got to be Trish all the way.

The Boogeyman Vs Booker T and Sharmel: My moneys on Booker, just because of the numbers game.

WWE World Tag Team Championship: Kane & The Big Show should dominate this match and pick up the win.

WWE United States Championship: Benoit is very good some might even call him one of the best ..but I feel that JBL will steal a win on this one.

Hardcore Match: Oh please if Mick doesn't win this I'll be speechless.

Casket Match: 14 - 0

No holds Barred: HBK all the way!

Money in the bank: One of the best match from last year, this time its interpromotional! Two new guys, one IC Champ, One 'Legend' and two guys that no a little bit about ladders... RVD for the win.

World Heavyweight Championship: I've loved every second of Kurts run as Champ but change is needed and it comes in the form of Randy Orton. Sorry but Rey as champ? Thats the stupidist thing I've ever heard.

WWE Championship:Vanilla Ice Vs The King of Kings....all hail the new King! HHH!

 

[nekkid]

Wow.. ok here's mine

Pillow fight: Torrie

booker vs. boogie: Boogieman

WWE tag team: Carlito and masters win by cheating

JBL vs. Benoit. Benoit, I don't know why, just my gut.

Foley vs. Edge. Foley, but something tells me he might put over edge. Foley has to have a Wrestlemania win.

Casket match: if they ask Undertaker to job to mark f'n Henry then Undertaker should just lie in the casket and die for real. This will probably be the worst match on the show.

HBK vs. Vince. Wow, thats tough, something crazy is going to happen in this match. Hell I'll go with Vince. Will Bret Hart have anything to do with this match? I hope so. Honestly if he doesn't have anything to do with this match it might really suck but you never know both of these men have been known to take crazy bumps.

Ladder match: This match or the edge/foley will definately steal the show. I am going with Ric Flair on this one. I bet Ric Flair wins this and cashes it in down the line for his one last title run. How cool would it be if Flair Challenged HHH right after his match with Cena. (assuming HHH wins)

Smackdown title. I am going with rey rey. Its the last match on the show (from what I was told) and they usually have the face winning. I can just see Rey pointing to the heavens and thanking Eddie to end the show. Plus rey definately deserves it (The other guys have already won it).

Raw title: I would love to see Cena win this. Not because I like Cena. I actually think he is annoying. this would be a very big shocker and it would definately propel Cena (which he definately needs). I would love to see him take a heel turn in this match, like Austin did against the rock at Wrestlemania a while back. But I'll go with the game.

On a side note did anybody see the hall of fam ceremony? Was Shawn Michaels there?

 

[Cman]

PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!

I assume some people are watching Wrestlemania and just saw Shawn Michaels do the X thing.

 

[endymion]

Yep, couldn't have said it better myself...... ARE YOU READY?
That would really bring back the best era of wrestling. Let's hope HHH kicks the crap out of Cena and then he and HBK can have some fun again.

 

[endymion]

What the fuck is HHH wearing? Since when is he Thor? And OMG John Cena is so fucked. This is like a really bad Oscars ceremony performance.

 

[Cman]

What the fuck is HHH wearing? Since when is he Thor?

LOL!!!!!!! That is the stupidest thing I've ever seen! And the gangster thing is gay too.

I've always thought both of these guys were idiots and this whole Broadway Fag Parade, just proves it.

 

[endymion]

The chants are insane. "Let's go Cena!" mixed with "Fuck you Cena!". Loud crowd!

 

[Cman]

HE DID IT! HE DID IT! HHH DID THE X!

I hate both of them, but I hate HHH a lot more, so I guess I'm glad Cena won

 

[endymion]

I'm an HHH fan from way back, so I'm pissed. Tapping out, are you shitting me? But yeah, loved the X-chop! Fingers crossed.....
Good Wrestlemania, one of the best for the past few years.

 

[Cman]

Good Wrestlemania, one of the best for the past few years.

Overall I thought it was weak. A lot of old ideas and nothing really ground breaking. I guess its because I'm a "soap opera" guy and WM is basically just straight matches.

I don't mean to be rude, RIP and all that, but enough with Eddie Guerrero already. Seriously, let it go.

 

[endymion]

With you on the Eddie thing. That's why hopefully Rey will only have the belt for a week or two, and then he'll have to give it to a real champ.
I was really a fan of the crowd. People are starting to turn on the "Pretty" guys (Cena, Rey etc) and go back to the brute power that the WWE was known for. Leave the flying to TNA, let just get big guys throwing each other around.
Same thing with the Diva "Pillow fight". That was crap, and a waste of time, whereas the Women's champ match was basically good (few screw-ups, but hey, they're women).
HHH ruled that place though, you've gotta admit he can work a crowd. And Taker tombstoning Mark Henry was cool. Let's hope they never open that casker.

 

[Japanese Dude]

"Same thing with the Diva "Pillow fight". That was crap, and a waste of time"

Yeah, that was put in pretty much just for a piss break.

Mr. Money in the Bank, ROB VAN DAM!

 

[bobobill]

RVD RVD RVD, Maybe he will use his MITB at ECW One Night Stand.

What the hell was up with Edges eye, did he bust a vessel or did he got some wood in his eye?

The best counter of the night was when Mickie James counterd the Stratusfaction. Lick them fingers girl lick 'em

 

[phynix]

I'm not a vilolent person I try not to get angry or upset especially over little trivial things like who won what match but.........what the fuck are they thinking Cena sucks we all agree and they still have him beat HHH, and they made it worse by having him tap out! I'm sorry I just was waiting for the pedigree and it never came infact all the things tat I want from the match never came (bonus for the DX chop wooo!)
All in all a good Wrestlemain not the best, had some good moments and I'm sure I'll enjoy watch it again over the next few weeks/months.
Rey as Champ?
Cena still the Champ?
DX chops?
What a strange place Wrestlemainia is!

If you didn't hear, much of the Hall of Fame was heavily edited for television. Bret Hart's acceptance speech actually went about 30 minutes long but was cut to about 6 minutes. Bobby Heenan didn't get a receipt on Jack Lanza who has been buring him for years to anyone who would listen, and Lanza once again made no sense apparently burying Heenan live in his speech. Sherri Martel was the star of the show, including going off on a heckler who wanted her to stop talking. She was given the wrap up about five times by production but she ignored it each time and just enjoyed the moment. Overall a very nice deal.

Cena was booed a lot and a loud HHH chant started when he spoke. Every reference to Shawn Michaels (who was there in the crowd but was kept off camera by Vince's orders) and Vince McMahon(who was backstage and never showed his face) was booed, likely due to it being such a strong Bret Hart crowd.

Austin pretty well confirmed by his promo that he and Hogan WILL headline next year's Wrestlemania. It's not officially confirmed but apparantly Austin met with McMahon over the weekend and was convinced to do it. The Gene Okerlund, Eddy Guerrero and Bret Hart inductions were all televised, but a lot of editing was done.

Kurt Angle's neck is in VERY BAD SHAPE. He was in severe pain when he arrived in Chicago which is
why the title match last night was only 9 minutes.

Favorite matches:
Edge vs. Foley- excellent brawl and very hot finish!!!
HBK vs. Vince- Nice spots with the ladder.
Rey/Orton/Angle- Exciting match but disappointingly short
for a main event.
Money in the Bank- Good win for RVD!!!

Wierd that the crowd booed Mysterio and Trish!!!

Dose anyone think that cena it trying to be the rock.
1) He tries to take the piss out of the other wrestlers (like the rock used to do) some times it funny but mostly its not.
2) He bounces of the ropes and then almost dose a peoples elbow but he punches instead.
and 3) He is always saying that he's for the people and wins for the fans.

Also cenas image is so 90s its embarrassing, and I don't understand why they changed the wwe title to they crappy spinning piece of plastic.

wwe is going a bit down hill. Giving the championship to ray mesterio its a joke. Don't get me wrong the whole Eddie thing was tragic, but I think a better tribute would be for chavo to beef himself up for a year and then win it not ray.

thats a good point. i think the constant eddie-remembering is getting to be a bit much, and the thing with chavo on RAW last night was way over the top.

they didn't make this big of a deal when owen hart died, or whoever else
