What irks about the Cena/Rock match is that WWE keeps billing it "the biggest match in the history of WM" and that is pure bullshit! Any of the three Rock/Austin matches, the HBK/Hitman Iron Man Match, HBK/'Taker 1 or Rock/Hogan were much bigger matches!

Yeah but we aren't supposed to remember those matches. Just like we aren't supposed to remember when Undertaker cut his hair and rode around the ring on a motorcycle.

And came out to Limp Bizkit, don't forget about Limp Bizkit!

Agreed... even Lesnar/Angle was a bigger WM match (that was a brilliant match). Look the reality is they ALWAYS say it ... UFC too ("This is the GREATEST <insert weight class here> championship bout in UFC history").

Puh-leeeez.

Dimitrius · « **Reply #459 on:** February 01, 2012, 07:50:51 PM »

But with the UFC it's a little believable, since the sport is still rather young and better, more well-rounded fighters keep emerging.

So is Taker gonna lose this time around? It's a possibility, definitely more likely than it was last year.

RobD · « **Reply #461 on:** February 05, 2012, 03:34:15 AM »

I'm going to put my money on him having 20-0 and then retiring in a spectacular way, followed by very near instant Hall of Fame induction. The man's more than earned his retirement.

abydos · « **Reply #462 on:** February 05, 2012, 06:27:46 AM »

Having him lose at WM would be awful and kinda ruin the whole point of his run so far. My bet is on him retiring after that too.

John94 · « **Reply #463 on:** February 05, 2012, 06:33:54 AM »

I really don't want to see Taker v HHH again. I mean Triple H was my favourite when I was a kid but I am also a huge Taker fan, but I can honestly see Triple H wanting to put himself over the Undertaker at Mania.

I don't think it will happen, but I bet it will be discussed, especially if HBK is involved. Eitherway, I think this is Takers last WM, and what a career.

Dimitrius · « **Reply #464 on:** February 05, 2012, 08:27:31 AM »

'Taker cannot lose at WM! It would destroy his character completely! For a good 6-7 years, his character has been all about "the streak". If anyone deserved to break, it was HBK!

If there's one guy who would try to put himself over like that though, it'd be Triple H, but I hope Vince doesn't let this happened.

And while H and 'Taker put on a good match last year, I would've loved if it was Chris Jericho or some of the young guys (Barrett in particular) trying to end the streak.

Zook · « **Reply #465 on:** February 05, 2012, 03:06:36 PM »

Calling it now: Scott Hall shows up dressed as security and zaps Taker with a taser ending his streak.

If that happened, then I would start watching RAW again. I'm a huge Scott hall/Razor mark, even though sadly, he has really deteriorated over the years.

I don't like the idea of Taker's final match being against a newbie. Even if he wins. That wouldn't feel right at all.

Agreed. His final match does need to be against an Epic opponent. unfortunately, HHH is best to fit that bill. Jericho could've too. Having his swan song be against someone like Barrett or Ziegler would feel like a final ppphhh for his career, rather tha a spectacular bang.

axeman90210 · « **Reply #469 on:** February 06, 2012, 02:57:03 PM »

Yeah, HHH is pretty much the only real option here, along with maybe Jericho, but I want my Punk-Jericho feud (that is, assuming WWE is not dumb enough to decide to end the streak).

Ħ · « **Reply #470 on:** February 06, 2012, 03:05:07 PM »

Might WWE decide to end the streak? Lots of the really popular guys (Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair) lost their final match. I think it's a good possibility that Taker will lose at Wrestlemania.

The Streak is different though, that's Taker's legacy. Besides, none of the established guys need the career boost from breaking it, and it's too risky to waste it on a young guy in he event he doesn't pan out or decides to leave the company. I thought the way his last match ended (he wins, but can't leave under his own power) would have been a good way to retire.

toro · « **Reply #472 on:** February 06, 2012, 08:00:49 PM »

Looks like it's official, theres been a pic circulating with Taker watching a videoclip of the WM27 match.

WELP.

But good new guys, Chris Hero was at FCW looks like he got a contract with the 'E

Anyone catch R-Truth's bump last night?? somersault over the top rope and Miz seemed to move out of the way, came down on the back of his head WWE is reporting whiplash and a concussion

Isn't it the wrestler on the outsides job to catch the guy coming over the top rope?

KevShmev · « **Reply #474 on:** February 07, 2012, 10:42:48 AM »

I only saw the end of RAW, but I did see that, and it looked bad. I could tell it was a legit injury the second it happened. Terrible job of catching by Miz, whose job is to protect Truth when he is doing a move like that. When Miz gets buried here shortly and isn't even on the Wrestlemania card, we'll know why.

John94 · « **Reply #475 on:** February 07, 2012, 11:26:42 AM »

Miz will be Brodus Clays first "big" victim, I'm calling it. Imagine if it was Orton he failed to catch, it would be bye bye Miz!

Loved that Undertaker promo video they played after Triple H.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #476 on:** February 07, 2012, 12:02:34 PM »

I thought it was more of a tailbone thing, but yeah ... caught it right away that Miz dropped the ball (or the Truth).

abydos · « **Reply #477 on:** February 07, 2012, 12:09:35 PM »

The slo-mo replay shows how much Miz screwed it up. He was lined up to catch him and moved out of the way at the last second, letting Truth crash to the floor without giving him any help. Supposedly, he got chewed out backstage for it.

Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan... bumped to a dark match last year, co-headlining Wrestlemania this year

KevShmev · « **Reply #483 on:** February 19, 2012, 10:05:45 PM »

By co-headlining, I assume you mean be in the 4th most important match at best, right?

Because no way does Sheamus/Bryan get billing over Cena/Rock, the Undertaker's latest streak match and the WWE title match.

antigoon · « **Reply #484 on:** February 19, 2012, 10:11:42 PM »

I haven't really followed WWE or heard anything about Sheamus since his feud with Cena...people like that guy?

You're probably right, but I consider a match for one of the main two titles in the company co-headlining, regardless of what special non-title matches they have booked.

He's buddies with HHH, so expect him to get pushed like mad for a long time.

Well, sure, but the world title match was the WM opener last year, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was the opener again this year.

That PPV was very sloppy overall.

Loved Kofi's tornado DDT from off the cage, and it was crazy how hot the crowd was for Santino.

Dimitrius · « **Reply #489 on:** February 20, 2012, 07:45:00 PM »

It was nice to see Jericho use the Liontamer, hadn't seen it since he left WCW.
