| I agree, there's no one on the roster currently who you could believably put up against taker for a final WM match. Unless you brought back HBK for 1 last go round. But even then, IMO, it might come across as cheesey and faked. It might be better just to have Taker retire.

Personally I wouldn't go for HBK v Taker - their two matches in 09 and 2010 there were as close to wrestling perfection as you can get. Best left that way if you get what I mean.
Would still love to see Taker v Sting but can't see it ever happening now unfortunately.

Yeah, as I said, a third Taker vs HBK would diminish the first two matches, which were some of the best I've ever seen.
But talking about something that is real, I'd suggest going on to that famous video sharing website and look up "Stone Cold's best promo". It's one of his first promo's from ECW. It's worth it just for his Dusty impression, but it's a heart felt promo that introduces the guy and lets you know what he's about. This is a talent that is sadly missing from today's WWE, infact, I'd say it's missing from virtually all wrestling.

| As a massiveUndertaker fan i think its time he hangs up the boots......but not until he goes 20-0...he doesnt need to wrestle before then...hell he doesnt evn have to go more than a 10 minute match at Mania 28...but its vital he gets to 20-0....that legacy would be untouchable and cement Takers deserved legacy.
The only question remains is who should he face at Mania...internet reports say he told Vince after Mania 27 that he could no longer hack it....so if its just to be a gentle sort of match maybe go against Kane and just have a slug fest...i think everybody would forgive Taker just going through the motions to get to 20-0 and have one hell of a send off.......its the send off which is important to me....for mine it should be tombstone 20-0...a few celebrations....lights out......lights on...Urn in the middle of the ring...and we never see Taker in a wresling ring again

Think Angle is a brilliant performer and a true entertainer. However, the cynic in me has noticed the following about Angle's usual behaviour the last few years.
- Angle's TNA contract is shortly due to expire. Angle starts putting out the word that he is 'considering all options' all about his future. This leads the wrestling media to speculate that he might return to WWE for big money. Angle does nothing to squash this talk, because he knows by keeping quiet TNA will panic and throw even more money his way.
- WWE make no approach for Angle (due to the manner in which he left last time, + his reported 'issues' the last few years).
- Angle, realising that WWE will never take him back now (unless he was prepared to take a big pay cut), resigns with TNA, expresses his love for the company and Dixie Carter, and his belief that a complete takeover of the wrestling world is just around the corner for TNA. He also states that he would never go back to WWE because his heart is with TNA (truth is, as stated, WWE wouldn't take him back anyway).
- Angle starts a new and improved TNA deal, which has an easier schedule then WWE, and where he knows he will always be pushed to the moon because he is a former WWE main eventer.
Oh it's true, it's damn true.

| Reports that Morrison needs a neck op, according to his own twitter anyway. Could be a great way to get R-Truth over more as a heel.
Edit: Reports that he was pulled from House Shows over the weekend and the angle last week was done to get him off TV in case needed surgery, looks to be missing a few months now.
Who's going to be the #2 Face on Raw now? Kofi? I hope they turn McIntyre personally.

Agreed, that would definitely have been the dream match for me.
Sadly though I expect it to be HHH again.

| Who wants to bet the phrase 'Female Goldberg' came up backstage when discussing what to do with Kharma?

| What was the point in drafting Alex Riley to SD? Other than to show just how stupid the whole draft idea is.
However, some good slow build of R-Truth as a heel. Playing up the whole Morrison injury and putting him up against Mysterio.

I'm liking R Truth at the moment. Proving to be great on the mic. But credit to wwe for building him up with some old school heel work eg, him believing he's hard done to.
To many heels come out with an attitude but no back ground to it but with R Truth they have built the psychology up........ I can see them doing a similar thing with Christian on Smackdown.

I agree. There's too many who WWE goes "right, he's a heel" and you're supposed to just boo him. Same can be said of the faces. Too much cookie cutter looking guys.

| Some of the stuff R-Truth has come out with has been superb, the "angry black guy" comment was brilliant.

| In the UK on Challenge, TNA managed to reach the 200,000 viewers mark for the iMPACT! show on April 26th, for the Saturday repeat they got a further 121,000. Lockdown was watched by 191,000.
The ratings have risen each week, being on Freeview is definitely helping.
