Does anyone know exactly when did they start bringing the Undertakers undefeated streak into his storyline?

 

[CHICHAN]

From the beginning? JBL spoke about how he'd end it on Raw I believe.

I think they just gradually mentioned it at every Mania. I think it started after WM 13 when he won the title..Im not sure.

"No Not at all. Vince Loves Me (No matter what the Internet Sources say) we aren't friends but he respects what I have done in my career, and by far I respect him. Vince is a great guy, He knows me and Adam are very good friends and we got in the business together in the first place. Do you think I would have as many title wins as I have without Vince liking me? I left WWE because I didn't want to hate wrestling. I missed my wife and I personally was getting burnt out on it. Since coming to the WWE, I hadn't had any time off. I hadn't had any real injuries...I just needed to get away and in TNA I could still wrestle but have the time I needed to reinvent myself as a person and a wrestler. In which I think I did that."

Christian for MITB

Rey Mysterio was on the local radio in Houston, Texas today and revealed his match with JBL for the Intercontinental Championship will be the opening match at Sunday's WrestleMania 25.

Hogan was supposed to wrestle Cena for the title at WM25:

In an interview with Popeater.com, Hulk Hogan said he was schedule to face John Cena forthe title at WrestleMania 25.

"You know what, I was supposed to wrestle John Cena for the title, and about four weeks ago I had back surgery. Vince and I were talking about how muchinvolvement I wanted to have in Wrestlemania, and if I wanted to keep wrestling, and out of nowhere my back just got really crazy. I went in for an MRI and Ihad to have some emergency surgery that threw me out of the game. I was kind of flipped out about it, I thought I'd be the main event this year."Hogan said.

Hogan vs Jericho would've made more sense imo

Idon't know why they would have even thought about doing this. I could understand a Hogan/Cena match, but for the title

. That just doesn't make sense

 

[bleepthat]

Yikes Hogan vs Cena for the title? SMH

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

^^^what would be so bad about that?

dude fills more seats than anyone else, would make sense, even though his title reign wouldnt last long

 

[D Fly]

Am I the only one that thinks putting HBK/Taker before HHH/Orton is a bad idea?

my guess would be that since they arent wrestling for any belt, it would mke more sense ending the show with a title on the line

Exactly.

They don't want their match to be more important than the title. I don't mind it.

Hogan wouldn't have won the title though. The title would have been on the line just for show...Cena would definitely have gone over.

 

[D Fly]

Well to be honest, I think the crowd is gonna be dead and burned out after Taker/HBK..since it is in Texas and all. Maybe if you put it one match higher...


Idk..prolly just reading too much into it.

 

[JAYxSF415]

Does anyone know how many people will be in attendance at WM?

 

[areyouin729]

man the thought of 25 being as bad as it may be just sucks

I have so many people bailing on my Wrestlemania BBQ due to the Phillies home opener too...last year I had like 30+ people, this year it may be 10 if we getlucky

 

[digger85]

i think some of this lineup will change. they usually dont put a match like hbk taker before the main event because they dont want the crowd to be dead andtired for the last match. theyll prolly end up putting the diva battle royal or the tag title match after hbk/taker
