| I think a Hogan vs. Jericho match would be a disaster... While Hogan and Jericho are both media darlings, for whatever reason. This type match will only benifit Hogan's career. First of all, we all know that Hogan won't take a WM Match and lose...and he sure as hell won't lose clean. So, Jericho lays down for a Senior Citizen? Jericho becomes questionable as a belt contender and Hogan gets to disappear after getting stroked for one night....again. Here is my idea. Jericho needs to put out a open WM Challenge, he's already beat up enough of the legends....just issue a open challenge for that night. Continue on the path he's been going on....then on the Night of WM have him come out and cut a promo...only to be cut off by a legend....maybe Hacksaw to start. Jericho beats Hacksaw and then cue Super-fly....a nice back and forth Snuka goes up and then goes down...1-2-3 Jericho.....he's about to go for some "extra-innings"....and cue Sgt. Slaughter....Jericho starts to get the look of WTF....but he beats Slaughter with a quick Code Breaker....then cue Piper....Piper brawls and Jericho distracts the ref and gets the pin....and it's over....Jericho goes to get out of the ring only to hear "I am a Real American"....Jericho is shaking his head no....this is ridiculous....and Hogan comes out, tosses Jericho in the ring. We get a classic Hogan match and I'm eating it up, cause this is a tired Jericho....Hogan looks to be ready to drop the leg after a slam....but we get a run-in from, Christian.... Captain Charisma gets the cheap shot in on Hogan, DQ....granted it's a Hogan win, but not a strong arm win. Jericho & Christian go for the beat down on Hogan...only for the Glass to Break.....Austin does the save and we get a Hogan posing and a Austin boozing.......What do ya think Carlins? |

| I think you're on the right track Jack, but you are missing the most important element...Mickey Rourke. Plus, under my scenario, he don't even need Hogan (which is a good thing). Jericho issues an open challenge..saying he will take on any and all WWE legends at WrestleMania. The time comes...Hacksaw, done...Superfly, done...Honky Tonk Man, done...Piper, done. KER-RASSSSSSHHHHH!!!!...Here comes Austin. He gets his licks in, but Jericho goes dirty to get the advantage. He goes outside, gets a chair. J.R. screams about Austin's injured neck..Jericho takes aim... Cue "Sweet Child of Mine" (if you saw The Wrestler, this will make perfect sense)...here comes Mickey Rourke! Jericho is distracted. Austin recovers...STUNNER! RAM JAM! Austin pins Jericho and starts sharing beers with Rourke. Yes, it's still a WrestleMania loss for Jericho, but where else did anyone think this was going? At least Chris can say he was blindsided by his two arch-enemies. |

| Stamp.....However, those Beers with Austin could set ole' Mickey back a bit....of course a Rourke/Austin Beer Bender could be legendary.... |

| You know, just a observation of a storyline.... Vicky Guerraro sure gets a lot a tail for a woman that looks like she took on a train face first....just sayin'.... |

| That segment was oddly hilarious. The facial expressions did it for me..especially after Cena told Vicki he loves her. Edge's look of slack-jawed disbelief was priceless. |

| True.....Of course, I would love a candid moment where Edge says to Vicki, "You love Big Slow?" She responds tearfully, "Yes, I'm sorry, I do..."; to which Edge says, "Thank God, I'm FREE!!!! Now I can see who Matt Hardy's dating...." |

| I have this old Dusty Rhodes promo on one of my WWE DVDs..where he talks about how he and Ric Flair are in another galaxy and everyone needs to step aside. That's my feeling on Randy Orton. He is on another planet compared with the rest of WWE's roster. Perhaps only Jericho is better right now. That closing segment to RAW last night was off the charts. I can't help but pull for Orton a little, since my smark card requires me to be disgusted that Stephanie McMahon has once unnecessarily inseted herself into the main event program going into WrestleMania. The only problem is..it's not unnecessary. In fact, it's a must. The angle has been ridiculous at times (mostly when Triple H is getting the upper hand), but as long as Orton's is in control...it rocks. |

| So what you are saying? You are anti-H? I enjoyed last nights segment a lot too. Orton has mastered is non-verbal's in the ring. Ever since JR first called Orton a viper, he has worked on his posture to represent that. It also does fit his body type. Now I'm very close to being a Orton mark, but he still needs to work on cutting a promo. He's much better than he was.....MUCH BETTER.....but to make to the next level, that Dusty/Flair level, he still needs to cut a better promo in my book. |

| I can never forgive Triple H for that main event against Jericho at WrestleMania 18. It just felt so wrong. What Vince SHOULD have done is get Triple H involved in the nWo angle. Then, you could have done Jericho/Angle for the Undisputed Title and main event with Austin/The Rock/Triple H vs. Hogan/Hall/Nash. I know why they did it they way they did, but this just would have been awesome to along with Flair/Undertaker. And while I'm on the topic of WrestleMania, 411mania ran this poll for its writers. I thought it would be interesting to post them and my answers. If anyone else wants to chime in, feel free... The WrestleMania experience just isn't the same unless you're watching it as it happens. Which was the first Mania you saw live on PPV? If you're lucky enough to have been to one, which ones?I'm almost certain it was WrestleMania 2000. Davey got it on PPV and had half of Wesleyville over at his house to watch it. It was a blast. I remember everyone freaking out during the tag team ladder match. Everyone has a favourite WrestleMania, but the reasons for picking that Mania vary greatly. What's your favourite, and why?WrestleMania 17 was probably the greatest wrestling PPV ever, but I've always enjoyed WrestleMania 19 more. Maybe it was the sight of Brock Leesnar trying to kill himself during the main event. There was just so much behind the scenes drama that I was aware of, it made the overall show that much more memorable. At the other end of the spectrum is the Mania you wish you hadn't seen, the one that could have been a 3-hour Raw. What was your least favourite Mania?No doubt. WrestleMania 18. For the reasons I cited above. Despite cards that appear lacklustre on the face of it, WrestleMania normally manages to deliver at least one classic match. What are you looking forward to the most this year?Meh. I have a feeling Matt and Jeff Hardy are going to tear the house down, but not much else is getting my blood pumping. What's your first memory of WrestleMania?Some kid across the street got his hands on a VHS of WrestleMania III. I distinctly remember the Killer Bees..and Hacksaw Jim Duggan taking down the Iron Sheik and Nicolai Volkoff with the 2X4. We've asked about your favourite WrestleMania, but what's your favourite Mania match? Will it come from your favourite show?I really, really want to say Triple H/Michaels/Benoit from WrestleMania XX, but I know that events since then have tainted the outcome. Still, that is certainly the most emotional I have been watching a wrestling match. Like the SuperBowl, WrestleMania is an event that goes beyond regular fans and brings in casual viewers. Each group of viewers will tend to have traditions for the event. What's yours?We had a good run back in the day, ordering WrestleMania and getting together at someone's place to watch it together. Down in Savannah, they charged a cover at a sports bar that showed it, but that didn't stop me from going a couple times. WrestleMania has always been about more than just the matches. Celebrities, the culmination of huge angles, the trotting-out of the year's Hall of Fame class in recent years...what's your favourite non-match memory of WrestleMania?Probably Pete Rose getting dropped on his head by Kane on numerous occassions. |

I know they are not WrestleMania events, but it's always fun to watch the wrestlers in cameos. Andre the Giant in "The Princess Bride" Macho Man in "Spider Man" Captain Lou & others in the Cyndee Loper [speel?] videos. Who can forget the cartoon series back in the late 80s? |

| You know, watching Raw last night, I think I came to the realization about why I actually love this time of year. Of course I love the "pagentry" that is Wrestlemania, I enjoy to extra long PPV, I enjoy the build up of the high profile matches and I mostly certainly love how the wrestlers seem to give just a little bit more on Wrestlemania night. However, I think what really gets me excited is the reboot. Every year, Wrestlemania gives the creative team a chance to shake the proverbial etch-a-sketch and start over. All the dead storylines can cleanly be buried and new guys get a chance to be pushed. I think this year, I am most looking forward to Mr. Kennedy's return, he's got potential and I hold out hope that he can stay healthy and get a push. How about you, Matte, what are you looking forward too? |

| I am looking forward to Mr. Kennedy coming back. I'm also looking forward to Triple H/Vince/Shane vs. The Legacy at Backlash, Shelton Benjamin as Mr. Money In The Bank and hopefully Jericho and Mysterio feuding over the Interchrisinental Title. |
