I see. So HHH basically covered for HBK. Again.

There's a detail missing that I never got but basically yeah.

They just started. Give them a couple of weeks to work it out. Personally, I'd like to see them take in in the direction of who has the sicker mind. Remember, they're both supposed to be psychos. Or at least mentally unbalanced.

I guess, but to me, five weeks is kinda quick to build a match, especially a Wrestlemania-quality match.

I think the match will still hinge on the performance of the 2 wrestlers, and HBK is just added as an extra feature. Maybe he'll screw HHH "accidentally" like he did Taker in 1997?

Oh, I'm sure the match will still be good, especially when compared to their match last year (Hell in a Cell kinda guarantees that, to be honest; if nothing else, it’ll be a spectacular train wreck). It's just that Shawn's presence more or less hangs in the air whether or not the streak will end. And like at last year's Wrestlemania, without that hanging over the match, I'm pretty sure it won't be awesome on repeat viewings.

Well, quality isn't something I really look for in WWE stuff anymore. That way I'm not disappointed. But, considering the wrestlers and their abilities, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. If they crank it up over the next few weeks, it might be one of the matches I look forward to. Otherwise, Besides Hell in a Cell, this WrestleMania is going to suck. (Given that The Rock will job to Cena. I will be thoroughly shocked if he doesn't.)

Yeah, but the WWE doesn't care about that. Once they have your PPV money, that's all they need. That's why ratings and quality are down from 2-5-8 years ago. They just don't put as much effort into being creative, and they don't have wrestlers who can perform as well. The PG era is bad for business. I haven't been a regular follower since 2001, I just kinda check in around the Royal Rumble and follow through to WrestleMania, and then not care for the next 9 months. And I don't regret it. I consider it time and money saved.

Don't forget they're building a new Cell for the out door structure, PG era cell? Also, Hulk Hogan has a sex tape, one liners go!

Didn't know that. I'm guessing it will have padding.

Also, Hulk Hogan has a sex tape, one liners go!

The shame of this is that Taker should have lost this streak 10 years ago. At this point, they've built him up so big that there's no one the fans would really accept him losing to, especially on the current roster.

If you're talking exactly 10 years ago, he was facing Ric Flair at WMX8. I liked watching Flair, but no way was he gonna win. If you're thinking of the general time frame, let's take it from WrestleMania 16 to Wrestlemania 20.

WM16 he wasn't even there.
WM17 he fought HHH. If he had lost then, it would have been acceptable. The streak wasn't so apparent yet.
WM18 I already mentioned.
WM19 he fought Big Show and A-Train after Nathan Jones was injured. It was a good match, but again, he wouldn't lose to those guys.
WM20. Round 2 against Kane. If his return hadn't been built up so much, I could see him lose. I said before, it should be Kane he eventually loses to (probably next year), like with Austin and The Rock at WrestleMania. 3rd time's the charm.

I'm not speaking so much about any of those particular matches, just that around that general time there were opponents he never faced at a Wrestlemania that no one would have questioned him losing to (Austin, Angle, Rock, even Lesnar)

Yeah, those guys could have gotten away with it, especially Austin and Angle. Rock and Lesnar? I doubt it. The Rock could do it now, if he sticks around until next year.

It was good to see the Doctor of Thuganomics return last night. Reminded me of when Cena was fun to watch. But he had nothing on The Rock Concert. That was some funny shit.

The Rock concert was proof that all you ever need is three chords. I do wish he did some legit songs as he can sing and play well.
