Some news on Mania stuff from the Observer....
Closest thing to a lock at this point is Taker/Batista, title v. streak, although still not definate (nothing for the card is set in stone at this point)
Cena/Michaels was suggested, but won't be happening due to two possible face/face main events for the titles, although of course if HHH was still healthy, it would have been fine.
Edge and Orton are two leading shots v. Cena, Orton of course preferred due to the fact they blewoff Edge/Cena pretty strongly, but a possibility of a Cena/Edge/Orton match is still being talked about.
Options w/ Hogan are:
Hogan v. Khali
Hogan v. Umaga
In either of those matches, its unclear if this would be with the Trump/Vince in corners or not (wasnt clarified in the issue)
Possibility they are pushing hardest is the definate Trump/Vince angle tied into a Hogan v. Shane McMahon match w/ Khali also being "bodyguard" to the McMahon side, so Hogan can still get the big slam in on Khali w/out having to have an actual match with him.
Show still hasnt committed to Mania, but just because Khali was the idea to replace him intially v. Hogan.

So the pay off of the Trump angle is Great Khali vs. Hulk Hogan?
Yup, we got gooker 2007 here folks.

That sucks about HBK/Cena, though it's not set in stone yet. Orton/Cena would be worse than Edge/Cena,IMO, but WWE is dying to do it, so it'll happen.

Trump, Vince, Hogan, Khali. Four people I'm tired of seeing at the biggest show of the year. I'll be skipping 'Mania now.

I thought the payoff for this shitty angle would end at the Rumble, god this is going to suck all types of balls.

I would have actually looked SOMEWHAT forward to Michaels v Cena. Just because I think they might have put the belt on Michaels.

I might be biased, but I really don't want to see Cena/Edge for the 7343647364th time. Who's going to pay to see it anyway? WM should offer something new. A triple threat might be the best way to go. |

Orton/Cena is alright but, I'd prefer HBK/Cena. No more Edge/Cena if all they are going to do is have Edge lose (the matches are good but, I am sick of seeing them).
Umaga/Hogan and Khali/Hogan both sound horrible but, Shane (with Khali as a bodyguard)/Hogan could be good and could kill two bird with one stone.
Batista/Taker could be real good or real bad but, has the most potential out of these rumored matches.

I don't know why. but I don't really believe the RAW Title match will be anything *but* HBK/Cena. I mean really, if HBK knew he wouldn't get a shot at the title at WM 23, would he even be as half as motivated as I read he was tonight? Do they really believe Orton/Cena is more marketable or would draw more than HBK/Cena? And if they did Cena/Orton/Edge, where in the hell would that put Shawn in the WM card!? Somehow, I don't really believe this story and I'm pretty sure HBK is going to win the Rumble Sunday night and go on to face Cena at WM 23.  ETA: And btw, would they have really built HBK like they have been doing the past 2 weeks for it to lead up to nothing in the end? Hmm?  |

HBK/Edge match?
Umaga/Hogan would be better than Hogan/Khali. And the Hulk/AAE interaction could be something.

Well, thank GOD Donald Trump is a Hulkamaniac, brother! After the match, Trump should climb on Hogan's back for protection, brother! Then, Hogan will backstroke him to safety, brother! Unfortunately, since Trump's on Hogan's back and Hogan's backstroking, Trump drowns. Brother. |

I actually like Dave Meltzer. He's very pro-WWE on the F4Wonline radio show he guests on about once a week. But all he really did here was list all the possible Raw main-eventer match-ups and say that they might or might not happen. I could do that. Umanga Vs HBK might happen but it might not happen. There ya go.

There ya go. You have to remember this is wwe. Things change on a weekly basis. He can't say for sure Khali/Hogan will happen, becuase they could change it. So, yeah, he's guessing. But they're well founded. |

The one time I'm trying to appeal to the anti-smark, anti-IWC WWE - Current posters and I get a rational smark responding. Unbelieveable.

Newsflash...
HBK vs Cena can still happen. HBK might be on a gradual heel turn and thus would make only one face vs face match. In fact, between now and WM, Batista OR Taker could turn heel. There's plenty of time for turns.
Edge vs Orton is looking likely too. They will probably have a three way match with HBK for the title shot after Taker wins the Rumble. Orton and Edge will end up costing each other the victory and lead to a feud and a match at WM23.
Three way matches are awful especially at Mania. Theyre never as good as one on one encounters as being epics. HBK has been in one and so has Orton. I really think HBK is the only one right now that can pull out a WM caliber match with Cena.
