His storyline seems to be one of Vince's pet projects so I guess it's lucky him. I assume he will be jobbed out at WM though.
He'll lose at Mania but I feel a rematch at Extreme Rules since they've built him up as "one of the most dangerous men in WWE history." Which btw, is bullcrap.
i think it is. the undertaker might return this monday considering it is old school raw. punk comes out saying he would beat everyone in the past then you hear the gong. perfect setup if u ask me.
punk said he doesent want to face undertaker because the ending is obvious with taker obviously winning.
But he'll do what his contract says to do. Taker will NEVER drop a match to Punk, ever. The only man that could end the streak is Super Cena and that won't happen for a while. A lot of the garbage at Mania is going to be forced. Like the rumored matches: Spoiler Y2J vs. Mark Henry, what? Punk vs. Taker, NO reason. Sheamus vs. Barrett, why? DUMB. The WWE isn't even trying anymore.
I actually am intrigued with Jericho vs Henry if it happens. Jericho can have a good match with a broomstick and Henry has really been a beast since coming back. Sheamus vs Barrett is coming off as forced and Punk vs Taker might be fun but we all know how that's going to end. It's just a question of how many false finishes they have in the match.
Honestly, the match I'd look forward to most is Lesnar/HHH because HHH/Heyman segments are good and their last match was interesting. It'll be a street fight so it'd be interesting at least. The Sheamus/Orton, no thanks. -
Looks like Sheamus/Orton is off the books for Sheamus/Barrett and Orton/Ryback/Someone else and buddies vs the Shield.
old school raw tonight should shed some light on the under card matches at WM is kane v bryan a given or does the breakup happen at WM in a tag match
According to all the dirt sheets(take it for what it's worth) they say not a whole lot of build up for Mania will happen tonight and it'll be a revision of the old guys. So don't expect Taker/Punk to make any leeway tonight minus Taker showing up during Punk talking or some nonsense. Rock/HHH there tonight, no Brock. Expect the old, bald, fat man though(Undertaker).
Of all the set matches (and assumtive) on the card, only one match so far doesn't contain an Attitude relic (Jack Swagger vs Alberto Del Rio), only two full-timers in the three main event matches (Punk and Cena) and Ryback facing Mark Henry, another Attitude Era guy. Call me dismissive, but this is embarrassing on WWE's behalf in their inability to produce draws in recent years and their staggering lack of faith in their talent.
i like that you brought this up yo im not saying i dont agree with this but another way to look at it is the wwe made slash employed some pretty big stars in the rock and brock lesnar a little over ten years ago rock and brock arnt just wwe starts they are world wide known with the rocks movies and brocs ufc run its payoff time for both the wwe company and for the part timers in the last few years wwe did lose full time mainevent wreslters like taker hhh hbk y2j and edge just to name a few the gap betweeen mainevent full time wrestlers and the undercard really started to show when cena got hurt this fall also i would say mark henrys run up to his world title run in 2010ish was forgettable now hes being booked well imo
I'm still confused as how Jack Swagger is anything close to a WM Main Event. Two or three years ago he was running interference in Cole vs Lawler and beating up on Jim Ross. Now, he's main eventing the biggest ppv WWE has? Lame. Sheamus vs Orton if Orton turned heel would be better. I like Orton, and like him better when he was Heel and punting everyone in the head. That was my favorite thing to watch happen. Granted, I hardly watch anymore - with school, I really don't have the chance anyway.
WrestleMania 29 Updated Lineup *WWE champion The Rock vs. John Cena. *World champion Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger. *CM Punk vs. The Undertaker. *No Holds Barred, Triple H's Career on the line: Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H. *WWE Tag Team champions Daniel Bryan & Kane vs. Dolph Ziggler & Big E. Langston. *The Shield vs. Big Show & Randy Orton & Sheamus. *Mark Henry vs. Ryback.
The following is an updated match card for WrestleMania 29: WWE Championship The Rock (c) vs. John Cena CM Punk vs. The Undertaker No Holds Barred Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar *If Triple H loses, his career is over World Heavyweight Championship Alberto del Rio (c) vs. Jack Swagger Mark Henry vs. Ryback The Shield vs. Randy Orton, Sheamus & Big Show Intercontinental Championship Wade Barrett (c) vs. The Miz Chris Jericho vs. Fandango WWE Tag Team Championship Team Hell No (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler & Big E Langston
The Triple H "career on the line" stipulation is complete crap. You mean a guy who hasn't wrestled since August is in a position where, if he loses, he won't wrestle again? They could have used ANY stipulation (I'd have preferred Submission Match, since that would have played into Brock's UFC time and give Trips a way to "avenge" his Summerslam loss) and they went with this one. What a crock.
Here's the final card for tonight: WWE Title Match John Cena vs. The Rock World Heavyweight Title Match Jack Swagger vs. Alberto Del Rio WWE Tag Team Title Match Dolph Ziggler and Big E Langston vs. Kane and Daniel Bryan No Holds Barred Match with Triple H's Career On The Line Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H Shawn Michaels will be in Triple H's corner CM Punk vs. The Undertaker Sheamus, Big Show and Randy Orton vs. Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns Ryback vs. Mark Henry Fandango vs. Chris Jericho Brodus Clay, Tensai, Cameron and Naomi vs. Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow and The Bella Twins Pre-show WWE Intercontinental Title Match The Miz vs. Wade Barrett So who's watching this today? Biggest day for the industry.
