goodhelmet Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 The Rock vs. John Cena HHH vs. Undertaker (Hell In A Cell) CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho Bryan Daniel vs. Sheamus Big Show vs. Shaq (Shaq claims he will be there and they are playing up the idea that Show lost to a boxer and sumo wrestler at Mania) Team Teddy Long vs. Team Johnny Ace Woman's Match (Beth vs. Kharma?) Money In the Bank (Maybe?) If this is the line-up we are going with, I am happy with it. If anyone wants to meet up in Miami, let me know. I'll be hanging out with Brent Baker that weekend in South Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cm funk Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have serious doubts about the Shaq match actually happening. The LT and Mayweather angles were started at the Royal Rumble. The Trump angle started in January also. If Shaq is really wrestling a match they're waiting an awfully long time to get the ball rolling on it, frankly not enough time for it to be properly hyped up. Shaq has a weekly TV gig where he could have been planting seeds, and there's been none of that. He might be there and he might have some involvement, but an actual match? Plus they've started something between Big Show and Cody Rhodes the last two nights, which could be an IC title match at the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 According to Meltzer, Shaq will be at MAnia. I agree with your points and I have no desire to see Shaq wrestle anyway so if they go Show-Cody, that is only a plus for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Evans Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 The rumor is Beth vs Trish. I'd much rather see Beth vs Kharma though. I was planning on making the trip down to Miami but decided to go to the Smackdown in Orlando instead. Hope DGUSA is still making the Orlando show that Thursday.

sek69 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'm wondering how they're going to do a Hell in a Cell in an outdoor environment. Normally when there is a cage of some sorts they have it hanging from the ceiling until the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mayweather match is such a work of art, this amazing performance by Show where he did every tiny thing almost perfect. I'm way more interested in Shaq vs Show than any other potential Wight match, just to see how they'd put it together and if he could possibly match that.

Marty Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Are we certain that Show will be facing Shaq and not teaming with him? Dylan (I think) made the suggestion on DVDVR about Show and Shaq vs. Barrett and Cody, which makes more sense to me, since I'm not sure one can turn either Show or Shaq heel very effectively right now. (Show can play heel, but he's pretty hot as a babyface right now and Shaq feels like the polar opposite of Mayweather as far as character goes.)

flyonthewall2983 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'm wondering how they're going to do a Hell in a Cell in an outdoor environment. Normally when there is a cage of some sorts they have it hanging from the ceiling until the match. I'm guessing it'll be hanging over the lighting rig above the ring. I'm hoping they'll go old school and construct it before the match (ostensibly while something else is going on, musical act or something). I'm going to be there and without giving too much away, I think I might be coming back with quite a story to tell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADL Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I am intrested in how they are going to fit Orton on this show as they could go many different ways with fitinign him on the card at the moment and I would not be surprised the Bryan/Sheamus match is made a triple threat with him included.

MJH Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 What does Mayweather/Show have that, I don't know, Hogan/Warrior didn't? I haven't watched it in years and years but probably the same applies to Bigelow/LT. Whilst I like Show in a way, I never got the sense it was anything other than a great agent job. Which isn't to say he had no input or anything, but it wasn't like he went out there and led Mayweather around by the hand on the fly... a LOT of pre-match work and run-throughing no doubt went into that match.

Coffey Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 If WWE were going to lie about a celebrity, wouldn't they lie about them being there, not not being there? They want all the publicity they can get. Shit, just look at the "former Divas" section where in the headline of Stacy Kiebler they don't even make it a full sentence before mentioning George Clooney.
