I think he's a good actor as well and I like that he still has respect & love for the WWE (and wrestling in general) because that's what made him famous. Hopefully he'll stick around for awhile. I loved how he ripped John Cena!! :lol: Can't stand Cena at all.

What the hell's going on with 2/21/11? You got people all over youtube posting their theories that it's Sting. This one guy went as far as to compare it to a a promo WCW did with Sting when he was facing Hogan for the belt, Starcade 97 I believe? Anyways, it's pretty similiar to the current promo the WWE is running with the dark figure in the trench coat for 2/21/11 so I can see why people would think it's Sting but I find it hard to believe the WWE would bring Sting in now. The guy's 51 years old! Granted he put on some good matches in TNA but it's time to hang up the boots & baseball bat. Don't get me wrong, I love Sting. He's one of my all time favorite wrestlers and if he still can put on a good performance in the ring then more power to him. I just personally feel he's had his run and I wouldn't want to see him over do it like Ric Flair has. Plus I thought Sting was dead set against ever signing with Vince & the WWE? Then again who would have ever thought Bret Hart would step foot in a WWE ring again?
well WWE did a good job on hiding Rock as the guest host for Wrestlemania. so i wouldn't rule out Sting yet...though it is rumored that it IS the Undertaker since his spotted to be on Raw 2-21-11. one thing i learned, in WWE never say never. :wink:
A lot of people are saying that they see two different people in the video. One guy walking towards the old run-down building, and another in the reflection of a window. People are saying they can tell they look different but they can't see enough to see who they are. People have said that they distinctly see facial hair on the guy in the reflection of the window, as well.

Personally, I haven't studied the videos enough to see it. But I just wanted to throw that out there. Just think about this, there was little build-up to The Rock's return, and that was HUGE, no doubt. This 2-21-11 thing has had a bit of build-up, though, so it's got to be somebody big.

Only hours away from the big 2-21-11 reveal. Who do you think it is?

My hopes are on Sting after hearing the initial rumors, but all the evidence just screams Undertaker.

I would be let down by an Undertaker appearance. Nothing against the guy, but a return from him is pretty much expected at some point. No shock there. It IS Wrestlemania, which means he HAS to be there to put his streak on the line. I'm rather bored with Taker's dead man gimmick, but I still enjoy his feuds if they are well thought out, which I think his recent feuds with Kane and Shawn Michaels were. I kind of miss Biker Taker, minus the crappy Kid Rock music

I guess we won't see more of The Rock until Mania? I thought it was odd that he didn't appear on HIS show's 600th episode. Dissapointing

Still, looking forward to whatever happens tonight. The past two years have proved that anything really CAN happen in the WWE

oh no another rumor: HHH vs. Undertaker is set for Wrestlemania with Streak vs. Career and Shawn Michaels as the referee has been discussed.

I thought Cena's comeback was awesome - but it looks like they're gonna push the Miz fight more than anything, (although I half-expected Rock to come out and layeth the smackdown on both Miz and Fruity Pebbles during the tag match..)

Taker's comeback was pretty obvious, (the camera even showed the Taker cross up on the rafter, during Kofi's beatdown by Del Rio.) HHH's return a bit more surprising, but most people were expecting to see the setup for a possible "revenge match" for Michael's defeat and retirement last year.

My buddy brought up an interesting note - If Undertaker beats HHH this year, (assuming HHH goes for another Career vs the Streak match, given Helmsely's wishes to remain more behind the scenes,) then Undertaker would have effectively killed DX single-handedly.. Not a bad way for the Phenom to end his own 20+ year career..
Another interesting note - HHH and Undertaker are the WWE's most seasoned veterans; the third being Mark Henry..

And who else is looking forward to seeing Lawler beat the snot out of Michael Cole?? 8)

Maybe it's because I don't like rap in general( I honestly don't even consider it MUSIC), but Cena's promo seemed PAINFULLY cheesy and just further proved WHY The Rock made fun of him.

I'm not really sure HOW they can make me care about Taker/ Triple H. After TWO back to back Mania losses by Shawn Michaels, I'm pretty much convinced nobody will EVER end the streak

It was pretty funny though to see one guy's comeback interrupted by ANOTHER guy's comeback LOL. Don't think I've ever seen that before
