Well No Way Out was a corker so how do you think Wrestlemania will stack up ?

what matchups do we have ?

Rock V Austin
HHH V Undertaker
Ivory V Chyna
Benoit V Guererro
Jericho V Regal
Dudleys V Hardyz V Edge/christian


so what about Angle ? (i'd like to see Shamrock come back and feud with angle, whose the ankle lock king!)

What about Vince V Shane ?


Does Vince have a big suprise planned ? HBK or what ?

I'd like to see Rock V Austin being pure, no outside interference, no special guest refs etc

Shamrock is currently injured - it is questionable whether or not he will be doing his shoot fighting match in Pride (March 25th).

Vince vs. Shane - probably although we will probably see some sort of tag-team thing. Too many people are not getting used for Wrestlemania - probably gonna see quite a few tag team matches thrown in.

Rock vs. Austin - no interference - please, the Debra thing will become a huge issue in this match...who knows what else...probably Angle will have something to do with this match as well...

Wonder if Pete Rose will get the Tombstone this year?

Should be one helluva good show no matter what Vince throws together...

From what i hear, Angle will begin a fued with chris benoit for a Wrestlemania match.. which should be good since they both are good in tech moves. that match between Eddie and chris last week wasa classic!

Vince vs. Shane-O-Mac is a done deal, with Linda in a wheelchair at ringside. I'm expecting Linda to break free of her catatonia and clobber Vince.

Regal vs. Jericho for the tea incident.

Maybe Big Slow vs. Kane?

After RAW IS WAR last night, I expect TLC2 to steal the show! The Hardy's/Edge & Christian/Dudley's would have been fine as it was, but now that each team will be accompanied by a third person (Lita, Rhino, and Spike Dudley ), we now have NINE high-risk bump taking hardcore experts IN ONE MATCH !
Suddenly, the extra $5 for this PPV doesn't seem like much !

Ahhh the classic angle from ECW is now going to be in WWF spike vs. rhino.. i personally like the giant killer.

You got to respect an ex. school teacher that became a wrestler (one bloody one at that!)

Dig this, kids. This will be a great blast from the past!

Wrestlemania will have a "Gimmick Battle Royal" where they will revisit some of the oddest and most beloved gimmicks of the past. Scheduled to be in it are: The Bushwhackers, Doink the Clown, Brother Love, Sgt. Slaughter, Freebird Michael Hayes, Nikolai Volkoff, the Iron Sheik and the one and only Gobbeldy Gooker. WWF.com has said that more names will be added


JoeC...wonder if Hector will be the Gooker again...

Add Typhoon (Tugboat Thomas) and Earthquake (John Tenta) to the gimmick battle royale! Yeah!

JoeC...there's a lotta bass in Earthquake's theme song!
