Actually I find knowing is more than half the fun. The fact is still that the matches are "fixed"... but because you know the volatile nature of the performers and the environment, you realize that there is still quite a bit of unpredictability both before, during and after the show.

That quote might not be as harsh but still proves my point about talking down about other people. Like I said, (Randy Orton's) an ass general.
That's also just playing the role of anti-hero that Stone-Cold Steve Austin rode to infamy. But you are right; a lot of actors act to their strengths. Hot-heads play hot-head characters better, charismatic guys ooze machismo, and JBL rolled his Nouveau-riche cutthroat elitist character both off- and on-screen. (And here comes the Neil-Cavuto Lari... I mean, Clothesline from Hell!)

I don't think he can. For as long as the company wants/needs a Hulk Hogan eat-your-vittles say-your-prayers good-guy to grab the Hornswaggle demographic, Cena will use that image he's cultivated.

Also, the WWE-image thing... Was that really a joke? It is the end of the quarter and this would be the time companies start to trim the fat.
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

From Wrestling Observer (http://www.f4wonline.com):
The Corre attacked Vladimir Kozlov at Fan Axxess today which looks to be the angle to put Kofi Kingston into that match--Wade Barrett & Ezekiel Jackson & Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel vs. Big Show & Kane & Santino Marella & Kofi Kingston.

This came from a Kozlov vs. Tyler Reks match at Fan Axxess which saw Kozlov win, and then The Corre "injured" Kozlov's arm and put him out of WrestleMania.
Was wondering how they're going to work him in. No way they'd leave Kofi out of the biggest event all year!

Also...
As of right now the word is that Ross will be announcing a few matches tomorrow.
My Wrestlemania package is now complete! Thank you, Vince for doing the right thing!

Finally, the card:
The Miz vs. John Cena for WWE title
Undertaker vs. HHH No Holds Barred
Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio World title
Randy Orton vs. C.M. Punk
John Morrison & Trish Stratus & Snooki vs. Dolph Ziggler & Layla & Michelle McCool
Big Show & Kane & Santino Marella & Kofi Kingston (not announced yet but most likely) vs. Wade Barrett & Ezekiel Jackson & Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel
Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes
Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan for the U.S. title
Battle Royal (not announced but wrestlers were getting ready for it yesterday, likely a preshow match)
No listing for the Cole/Lawler match.. My guess is it'll probably be right before or right after Orton/Punk.

side note: The Rock will appear on Raw Monday night!

A lot of people expected this to be the match of the night, given how talented Daniel Bryan is and how motivated Sheamus is. That's a shame
