I'd be surprised if HHH beats Bryan but would love to see it. There hasn't been a more boring champ than Orton in a long time. At this point I'd take the 'yes movement' and consider it an upgrade. But I'm pulling for "The Game" to get the straps.
We did the free week of WWE Network just to check it out. It is actually pretty cool. I killed it because I could tell there would be hundreds of lost hours sitting at the computer watching the old stuff.
We're still getting WM30. Now that I read Stone Cold is making an appearance I'm pretty fired up. He is sticking by his prediction that CM Punk returns also. I hope he is right but I'm not reading that rumor anywhere else.

Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
Oh well I guess that is what's best for bizness.
Some other random notes:
Hogan needs ot retire. No way he needs involved in any manner. When you have a month to rehearse the few lines you have and still screw them up it's time to step away.
Undertaker needs to retire. He looked like a 80 year old man.
Will The Real American's finally break up? Please??? Maybe the Battle Royal will finally get Cesaro over enough.
The Diva's are still a joke. I expect a Lee/Naomi rematch on Raw with Naomi possibly winning the belt.
HHH needs to retire from the ring. He has now lost his last 2 matches both being in WM.
I'm thrilled the Hounds Of Justice are not breaking up. I still believe.
Bray Wyatt better get a good PPV win soon or he will become irrelevant no matter the push.
The lack of Diva wardrobe malfunctions continued much to my disappointment.
The cameo of old timers, the HOF'ers sitting in the front row and new HOF'ers was great. Hey Yo!
Why can't I get into the Usos?
I guess the good news is that Cena (or Orton for that matter) won't be a champ for a while now.
Is this the end of the return of the New Age Outlaws? Love those guys but they are losing a lot lately.
Will someone PLEASE get Vickie Guerrero a salad?
Lastly - to put it simply - Stone Cold Steve Austin still RULES!!!!!!!!! The sound of breaking glass never sounded so good.

That may well have been the unofficial retirement of Undertaker. That was my feeling about it, anyway.
Rumor is that this past weekend was Vickie's last in WWE. Apparently leaving the company (not renewing contract) to pursue outside-the-business interests. (Rumored that Kane also is fixin' ta leave in order to concentrate on his insurance company or something that he opened not all that long ago.)
I agree with you on Bray!
That Cesaro thing was pretty damn impressive. Like the announcers have been saying for a while now, he very likely is the strongest guy in WWE, pound-for-pound.
At the HoF inductions, I really liked Lita's speech and stories. Mr T wouldn't shut up and would STILL be talking days later about his mother if Kane hadn't interrupted him. All praise to DDP for getting Jake the Snake's head straight. DDT has been a real miracle worker for many these past number of years. Wow did Scott Hall look great or what? I expected him to be a hot mess. Bravo to Carlito for his stab at the WWE in his comments ha ha. And what was with Warrior? Everyone was expecting pipe bombs and fireworks. There Hulk Hogan was, in the front row right in front of the Warrior, and I fully expected something between them. But alas, boring. Nothing. Nothing at all.
That WWE Network is just awesome. I signed up on Saturday morning, got a Google Chromecast, and viola, I was ready for a great WrestleMania weekend

Tonight he needs to come out and announce his retirement. After the match last night I said it was WM3 all over again with Andre The Giant passing the torch to Hulk. It's crystal clear to anyone breathing air the UT is done.

It's sad that the promotion relies on so many guys 40+.
If this were the 80's McMahon would trot out Lou Thez vs Gene Kinski.

Reminds you of JJ doesn't it? This year Jerry seems to have learned his lesson. Perhaps Vince will someday also.

LOL!
In a lot of ways it does.
I know a lot of folks here in the Cowboy Zone really enjoy the current version of the WWE... But my gosh the same dozen or so competitors time after time? Several with a lot of "wear on the tires".
Obviously the business model must be working. But whereas Pro Wrestling using to appeal to much wider demographic... Now I think it's primary appeal rests with those 30 and younger.

Do I at least get a half credit for Lee dropping the belt even if it wasn't to Naomi?

I watched for 2 reasons, 1, I thought Sting was going to make an appearance(yes I know he is OLD), and 2, I thought Punk would come back.
But, Warrior looked TERRIBLE. He was hobbling down to the ring, and looked like he was 70.

Sting has said he is only coming back to fight the UT. It's pretty clear that will never happen. At this point I don't expect any appearances from him.
Punk's contract situation needs fixed before any return happens.
The Warrior is struggling and it was sad to see him that way. At least Vince got him in now before he got worse.

I understand about Sting, but I thought they would start up his promos this Raw. As for Punk, there were rumors he was in town, just thought it was fixed. Warrior just looks bad.
