Terrible match, Terrible booking. All round horrible. They rip away a hot feud with Kane and Zack Ryder where they could have Ryder finally get his revenge on Kane at the biggest stage of them all. and replace it with a far fetched, soulless feud over a handshake in a meaningless TV match a year ago (I believe this was during Orton's Smackdown reign of terror?). To make things worse, the babyface has dominated this so called monster in every confrontation so far! There's no suspense, there's no emotion invested in the match, and it doesn't try to hide the fact that for the third year running they had nothing for Orton so they quickly had to put something together.

Spoiler Potential HUGE spoiler alert times 2. The E wants to announce it's Main Event for WM 29 in NJ. The potential Main Event at the moment is HBK/HHH; one last time. It's said HBK will cost HHH the match and continue the "I'm better than you" angle they're running. The OTHER potential spoiler which is JUST a rumor is that as we speak the WWE is working out a deal with none other than the Monster Brock Lesnar to return to action in the WWE on a part time wrestling basis. It's being rumored that Lesnar might involve himself in the HIAC match laying out the Undertaker only to have HBK either ND the match or allow Taker to still win somehow. Again, these are rumors but would be freaking AWESOME!!! I would crap my pants. Literally.
Hmmm, Rock and Cena both faced this man in a Wrestlemania event before and was just picked up by a WWE Limo at the Miami airport. "The Animal," Dave Batista. Hmmm.....things could get very interesting Sunday Nite. :icon_cool:
Most people aren't considering the fact that most of these ex-WWE guys are coing down just to watch the event? Dirtsheets will pretty much grab onto any piece of string even if it only has the smallest percentile of relevance. As much as I disliked Batista as a ring performers, his Douchetista run outdid anything Brock could/can do, and actually wouldn't mind him coming back if he did come back rocking the wifebeater 'n' shades.
'Dems the rumors. Word is Batista was picked up by the WWE, making people think they might be doing business together.
I wonder how many people sitting in the first row will see any difference between sports entertainment and wrestling. Eulogy time for 'Taker?
