That was pretty funny. Reminded me of some of the Dirt Sheet stuff he used to do with Miz. Too bad he couldn't do promos in front of a live audience, though.

Re: WrestleMania XXVIII

I've been watching old WM's. Monsoon and Ventura sure could sell matches. Cole can't.
Considering eating 7 hot dogs in honor of Monsoon at WM VI but I doubt that'll work out. Pretty sure they only come in 6 packs and trying to make them while the show is on doesn't seem like it'd work out.

Anyway prediction time...

Randy Orton vs. Kane
I think this will be the show starter. Kane dominates,Orton pulls RKO out of nowhere and wins.

Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus
Bryan retains through some sort of AJ related shenanigans even though it'll be a good match to that point but that's why it's low on the card. Extreme Rules rematch to keep AJ out of it.

Team Playah vs. Team Excitement
If it wasn't for the Flo Rida concert maybe this could've been an elimination match and been that much better. Overall talent factor certianly slants in favor of Johnny so I'll say his team wins.

Maria Menounos & Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix & Eve
As if the celeb would lose. Just get it over with quick.

Cody Rhodes vs. The Big Show
Tragedy if Cody loses,unless he's moving up. Might be a retirement gift for Show but he's always put people over regardless so I expect Cody to win.

CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho
Don't see why Jericho would win. Hopefully lives up to expectations at least. But can it when it seems so predictable?

The Undertaker vs. Triple H
Undertaker easy. HHH ending the era makes sense so there's that slightest of doubt but ending the streak? No. That should go to someone it'll do something for if it goes to anyone at all. Apologies to JR but rain and actual lightning during 'Takers entrance would be awesome.

The Rock vs. John Cena
This is more pointless than the last one. Should make for an intresting atmosphere. Only outcome I want to see is Rock win and Cena turn. More likely Cena just wins.

This is not exactly related to this years WrestleMania, but I stumbled upon this video about the things Austin was going through during WrestleMania 19 and also his relationship with the Rock. Good stuff.

Damn. That was powerful. You never know what's going on behind the scenes.

Re: WrestleMania XXVIII

I will take my shot at predictions. I agree with Goh that Cole can't sell. IMO no one did it better than the Brain.

Randy Orton vs. Kane
I think they have a "brutal" battle and Orton wins by "surprise" Rko as usual.

Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus
I think AJ turns on Bryan and Sheamus kicks his head off to win the title. Sheamus is pretty hot right now.

Team Playah vs. Team Excitement
Johnny is such a great heel that I genuinely hate his guts. However, adding Booker makes no sense and makes me think Teddy will take the fall.

Maria Menounos & Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix & Eve
Menounos is too hurt to compete and we see the return of Karma...who beats the crap out of beth and eve.

Cody Rhodes vs. The Big Show
Cody needs to move up BUT having the belt on Big Show makes no sense to me. NONE. I think Cody wins, Big Show snaps and then knocks him out.

CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho
This is hard because like the big show, it makes little sense to put the belt on Chris. Who knows. Maybe Chris wins and then Punk regains it the next night.

The Undertaker vs. Triple H
I think UT is done...and what better place for the streak to end then HIAC?

The Rock vs. John Cena
I think Cena is helping put the Rock over for his movies and The Rock will help put Cena over with the WWE crowd. I think Cena has done some of his best promo work in a long time. My kids like Cena, I like what he does for charity so I am pulling for Cena, but I will give Rock my money for GI Joe

I think it would actually be really cool if it does... for those of us watching at home anyway.

Re: WrestleMania XXVIII

My predictions -

Orton
Sheamus (new champ)
Punk (retains)
Johnny Ace
Rhodes (retains)
Cena
Maria M.
Taker

I guess there's no tag title match huh? McMahon should have had the Kings of Wrestling win the tag belts at WM. Oh well.

Re: WrestleMania XXVIII

Damn. That was powerful. You never know what's going on behind the scenes.

Wow, amazing stuff. I truly feel so lucky and honored to have been able to watch those two and their rivalry in their prime. Wrestling has always been cyclical so I'm sure one day we'll witness another rivalry been two all time greats during a time when wrestling's popularity is peaking. But I'll never take for granted getting to see such amazing work on a day in and day out basis.

Ok on to my picks...

Rock v Cena - Rock. I can just see so many more branches for Cena's character to take if he loses.
Punk v Jericho - Punk. I won't state my reason because I got yelled at last time.
Undertaker v HHH - Undertaker. I just can't see them ending the streak and possibly Undertaker's career with a loss in a rematch to someone who won't benefit from the streak.
Rhodes v Show - Rhodes. Like Kane, Big Show has been an amazingly loyal employee and been great at putting guys over. Rhodes isn't ready for Heavyweight title but this will give him momentum
Daniel Bryan v Sheamus - Sheamus. I really want to pick Bryan because I think it makes more sense. If Bryan loses the strap I can see him going the way of Miz and Henry and really dropping off. It makes more sense for Bryan to win but I just don't see them not having a title change hands.
Divas - The Celebrity always wins these
Team Johnny v Team Teddy - Team Johnny. Cause I'll kill myself if I have to watch teddy long on Raw.
Randy Orton vs Kane - Orton. This match is so dumb and unnecessary. Kane vs Ryder with Ryder finally winning would have been amazing and given us the only opportunity for a true wrestlemania moment this year. Orton win's just to piss me off.

Not for me since I'll be there.
