Hogan vs Rock is everything people shit on today's wrestling for. Its a total performance and not about competition. The guy could barely move. Austin vs Rock from 17 takes it for me with Hogan vs Warrior in 2nd. Mega star vs mega star at their peaks on the biggest stage fighting for the biggest prize = greatest.

Shane w/ Trump vs HHH w/ Arnold

Thinking Orton gives his shot up to Wyatt on some cult follower type shit. I haven't watched, but just from following I get the sense that is what they are going for with them the past few months. They could make Wyatt with a title win over Cena at Mania. Do Styles vs Orton too, then run them both as challengers in spring and summer.

Orton vs Otunga

Whenever I hear about live event attendance being down and network subs being low, I feel like Mania business is enough to offset all that. Also the amount of people with contracts is insane. A bunch of mid and lower card guys have made a bunch of money with stupid long careers, and there's contracts being given out left and right to a super bloated big ass developmental pool where a bunch of small money can still add up. You can't ever criticize McMahon for not being generous. Despite all that they have to be making money somewhere and I think it all ties to Mania.

Feels like Brock was his biggest rival looking back on his run, but that speech won't happen.

I can't see how Goldberg vs Lesnar would close the show over Taker vs Reigns for the belt. I would rather see Cena-Taker and Reigns-Lesnar for each of the belts, and Styles-Balor. Have Lesnar win the Rumble eliminating Goldberg and Taker, then do Goldberg vs Reigns at Fast Lane and put him in the HOF Mania Wkend and/or vs Strowman.

Im surprised it hasn't already but ever since Rock came back for the Miami and NY ones, I figured Mania would be two nights instead of one by now.

Cox what do you remember from the six man tag with these guys, Calo, Sabu and Foley from the Chicago show? I remember the old Grails thread on DVDVR talking about the chances of Arezzi having a tape. Just never heard anything about the match itself

The match and everything around it is my favorite of all time because of the fact that they would go that deep and be that possessive and still have a great brawl and work together. It made me feel how much those two love this crazy wrestling shit.

Separate division is fine. Rollins is taller and Owens is wider than these 205 guys. No matter if they're all doing the same shit, it's still basic real life that a bigger guy can toss around a smaller guy.

The guy Beau James from Tennessee just had some stills of this on twitter

Its like the evolution of a word on the internet...stiff to snug to strong style. You never hear stiff anymore.

I didn't know the NJPW history spelled out here, so I thought all it means is hit each other hard.
