Looks like this one could be cool...we got a cage match between Rock and Austin. Discuss.

Is it just me, or is there NO cage above the ring. I've tried to look when they have shown the crowd and I can't see one; I've got to believe we get some sort of screw job ending tonight.

i liked stone cold before yesterday. what they have him doing now is against everything that they ever had him doing. he was always the 'screw authority and screw vince' kinda guy but i absolutely HATE what they have turned him into now. the old stone cold would never have pulled this crap. hopefully it is just a lull for austin to turn on hhh and vince and kick their ass.

While I would have loved to see HHH tunr on McMahon, I liked seeing Rock get his a$$ whipped even more. I hope that Rock leaves for Scorpion King soon and leaves room for the development of fresh faces. I hate to disappoint any Rock fans in here, but his schtick is getting old. It's time to give the top face status to someone like Taker or Jericho.

Taker surely deserves the top face spot.

Honestly, I have never cared for stone cold. Too much of a redneck vibe for me (i have a problem with rednecks)

Well i don't like the austin heel turn a damn bit. And his mic skills are not used to being Heel mic skills. You could tell from the mic work he did today, he was just not used to it.. its been so long since he was heel..

In any case. i see the rock being taken out by HHH and Austin, and then taker steping up for the final belt reign (retires later this year) I hope Jericho and Benoit become a tag team (since the TLCII match ended the fued between the three tag teams as the wwf says it) so there needs to be new tag teams.

I'll agree with you Jack on Austin's mic skills...

Yeah, mic skills kinda sucked, but honestly I am kinda taking a liking to Stone Cold in this heel role (and I was completely against him prior to Wrestlemania)...

He's definitely among the upper tier as far as main eventers go, but he's not a long term prospect. Did you see him do the save for Kane against RTC? He's so broken down, he can barely run. Jericho, Benoit, Test, Edge, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy need to be elevated to that level soon.

I liked Austin when he could move and do wrestling moves before he made it to the wwf.

Take this as just an internet rumor ...

"-If you ordered Wrestlemania tonight or read the results, you would know that Austin finally made his long awaited heel turn with Vince McMahon. The rumored reason for this turn is because of the fact that Austin despises WCW so much that he would do anything, including selling his soul to the devil [aka Vince McMahon], to fight against WCW rising up again. With Shane defeating Vince in the street fight match, it seems as if 'WCW' has the upper hand so far in this feud and the feud will only grow stronger in the future, but now Vince has someone on his side to help him in the long war between the two promotions."

I think that Austin as a heel can work. But it's difficult to see who will end up in the top face spot alongside The Rock. Somehow I see Vince and Austin screwing Triple H eventually. One thing that I didn't like about Austin's turn is that he tapped out when Rock applied the Sharpshooter on RAW. The "old" Austin was known for never giving up, as was emphasized during his Wrestlemania match with Bret Hart a few years back. Ironically, this was the match that turned Austin into a face.

Since I watched very little of the Raw show, I have to say that Steph is better looking in person than the pix's floating around the web.

Yeah, but I still think that Trish should have pulled down Steph's pants when she was stuck over the rope and given her a proper whippin'

If Taker is retiring I hope they give him a proper exit with a victory and not limping out in disgrace. He deserves a run with the belt more than any of the talent they currently have, and he happens to be my favorite. Once Taker retires, I might halt watching WWF and view WCW instead!

Although I was never a UT fan, except when he couldn't feel pain, I give the guy credit. He is the only person who has worked in the WWF steady since 1991. In that time he has not had but a few weeks off here and there. It's obvious now that the last 10 years have caught up with him. If anyone deserves to walk out with the belt ... he does.

I liked Austin better when he was Stunning Steve Austin. He was cockier. I also liked him better when he was more badass and less redneck than he is now.

I never really watched during that character's existence... I kinda got out of wrestling for a while back then
