For the record, Big Show vs Shaquille O'Neal may still be on. WWE and Shaq are at least talking again. Word is it's the primary reason Vince had Show bury Rusev last night.

And there was much rejoicing (yay).

(I can take the spoiler tags off now as Bleacher Report - or someone else - broke it)

Ravishing Rick Rude is (officially) being inducted into the HoF.

Super excited for Mania weekend. WWN and Evolve have 3 shows that look awesome lined up right now and the Smackdown side of the card looks pretty good right now too. The show I'm looking forward to the most might Joey Janela's Spring Break, which is what you'd get if someone told a wrestling fan to go book anyone they wanted for a show and they decided to troll. Right now Marty Jannety, Glacier, The Invisible Man, Dink the Clown, Dan Severn, and a financially responsible usage of Earl Hebner booked plus some undercard stuff that looks really good like Lio Rush vs. Keith Lee, who are two people worth keeping your eyes on for sure.

No real surprise: Jericho and Owens will be the hottest match at Wrestlemania.

 

[CoKane]

This is why I never wanted to settle for mid card comedy act KO. Because this Kevin Owens is so, so good.

 

[CycloneErik]

We're gonna have a tag match, playa!!

Neville vs Austin Aries at Wrestlemania! That will tear the house down.

 

[CycloneErik]

Maybe this match can get a whole 2-3 minutes at Wrestlemania at set a record for the 2 of them together.

 

[jdoggivjc]

After WrestleMania KO will be 3/4 of the way to a Grand Slam. Not bad for someone who's only been on the main roster for ~1 1/2 years.

Sasha is coming out to turn on Bayley, isn't she?

Didn't read spoilers. I just have a gut feeling (or gas).

Dunno - I'm half an hour behind. But when it does happen it's going to be heartbreaking - and so totally awesome.

Skip whatever the New Day did and catch up, man.

Solid advice. I also skipped the random Cruiserweight match cuz it doesn't matter unless it's Neville, Jack Gallagher, or Austin Aries.

The words "their friendship has been nothing but honest" came out from (I think) Corey Graves.....

I forgot that other cruiserweight thing even happened.

Oh come on - Corey Graves would NEVER say that. That was the nincompoop Byron Saxton. The guy that wants to have a one night stand with Bayley's wacky wavy inflatable tube men.

Coulthard pissed because the "Emma Coming Soon" screen is here.
