Didn't TNA try this one before? Angle vs Joe, I think.

And DC, was it New Japan or All Japan that incorporated shoot type matches before?

Please noooooooooooooooooo
 
I honestly like the angle they are going with Henry and Ryback. Its just something different to me and I hope they keep pushing it to mania. But it could also backfire and we have another Lesner vs Goldberg which was and outstanding match...

Lion's Den match :hat

Those RAW #'s are impressive with the fact that neither Cena or Rock were there. I guess they were pretty high because of Bearer.

Farmer's Den match.

Imagine HHH showing up to Brock's farm. Brock hides behind a haystack, ambushes HHH.
 
**UPDATE**

- It was reported earlier that WWE officials are considering a MMA-style fight for the Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H match at WrestleMania 29 in just a few weeks.

F4Wonline.com reports that the match will not be held under MMA rules.

WWE officials are considering 3 or 4 different stipulations but they had not decided on anything as of last night’s RAW. It’s possible we won’t find out the stipulation until the March 25th or April 1st RAW.







- Word at last night’s RAW is that WWE officials have revamped a lot of the WrestleMania 29 undercard once again.

There is said to be a lot of stress internally because Vince McMahon continues to frequently make changes. While some feel that the product has been better as of late, Vince is reportedly not happy with creative and wants changes made.







- Vince McMahon was reportedly a lot more hands-on with producing and scripting last night’s RAW from Indianapolis. This was the first week since Eric Pankowski’s departure and it’s said that he wasn’t missed last night and it was like he was never there.

What likely led to Pankowski’s departure was having CM Punk, Randy Orton, Sheamus and Big Show compete in the Fatal 4 Way two weeks ago to earn the right to face The Undertaker at WrestleMania 29.

Everyone felt that the Fatal 4 Way was a bad idea. People told Pankowski it was a bad idea but he blew them off and went with it. No word yet why Vince McMahon approved it for TV.
 
Didn't TNA try this one before? Angle vs Joe, I think.

And DC, was it New Japan or All Japan that incorporated shoot type matches before?

It was New Japan that did it. Antonio Inoki went mma-crazy and it resulted in NJPW almost folding because he basically buried all his homegrown stars and pushed mma fighters who couldn't wrestle.
 
John Layfield @JCLayfield
The Catholic Church spends almost as much effort selecting a pope as they did hiding child molestors.
 
Chavo Guerrero vs Essa Rios (Metal '01) Never knew they wrestled against each other. Really good finish.

New WM29 match announced

Shield VS Orton, Sheamus & Ryback

really?
I figured it would've been Shield VS Big Show/Orton/Seahmus and Henry would've fought Ryback. I think the crowd would've been amped for that one
 
SmackDown! Spoilers

Sheamus & Randy Orton defeated Cody Rhodes & Damien Sandow. Sandow ate a Brogue Kick, Rhodes hit an RKO to take the pin. After the match, The Shield challenged Orton and Sheamus to find a partner for a six man at WrestleMania. Orton and Sheamus accepted.

The Miz defeats Darren Young via submission with the figure four. Wade Barrett was on commentary.

Backstage, Big Show wanted to be the tag partner against The Shield. Orton & Henry said they already picked somebody - Ryback.

Layla & Kaitlyn defeat Tamina Snuka & Aksana. Sloppy match. Kaitlyn hit Aksana with a GORE, but Layla snuck a tag in and pinned Aksana with a crossbody. Turn coming.

Backstage, the Bellas beat up Naomi and Cameron. Bellas made fun of the "dancing dinosaur and his fat friend who thinks he is Japanese."

Dolph Ziggler defeated Kane with the ZigZag. Daniel Bryan and Big E brawled at ringside towards the end. This distracted Kane leading towards the finish. Big E tossed Bryan over the timekeeper wall. After the match, Ziggler taunted Kane until Kane grabbed Ziggler's throat for a chokeslam. Big E saved Ziggler, then hit his finish on Kane.

Another Ricardo/ADR spoof on Colter aired. This one was about Canadians. It was pretty funny.

Fandango vs Great Khali never happened. Fandango came out, calling Khali "stretch." He wanted Khali to pronounce his name. Khali tried. Fandango was sickened by Khali's attempt. No match.

Backstage, Booker made The Shield vs. Sheamus, Ryback & Orton official. The Shield then attacked Orton and Sheamus and left them laying.

Mark Henry vs The Ryback never happened. 10 seconds after the bell rang, The Shield attacked Ryback. Ryback initially cleared the ring and faced back off with Henry, but the Shield got the better of Ryback on attempt #2. The Shield left Ryback laying with a trio powerbomb. After Shield left, Henry came back in and gave Ryback a World's Strongest Slam. And then another. And then another. Henry welcomed Ryback to the Hall of Pain.

Jack Swagger pinned Chris Jericho. This was a good, long match with a lot of back and forth trading nearfalls at the end. Swagger won with his gutwrench powerbomb. Swagger and Zeb posed to close the show.



After reading these spoilers I doubt they'll keep Ryback in the six man tag match.

:rollin :hat :hat @ Henry giving Ryback 3 Slams
