Prefer the spinner belt. The belts they had in the late 90s were awesome. Shame they couldn't revert to something like that.

They're leaving it late to build up feuds for Mania - thought we'd have got some clues as to the mid-card last night.

They've done great things with Swagger though, if you take aside the racism of his manager that is!

Well it's 6 weeks until Mania and the way it's shaping up isn't looking like it's the biggest show of the year.

Cena Vs Rock II - Think we all know how that's going to go.

Del Rio Vs Swagger - Really think it's time they binned the World Title. They've pretty much done away with the brand extension, so why do they still need 2 world champs?

And that's about it for confirmed matches.

There are rumours that there's going to be a HHH vs Lesnar match, but I can't see that being anything but poor. Lesnar was never the technical mat general and his last match against Cena was hardly a 5* classic.

Then there's the "who's going to be the guy who jobs out to the one match a year guy" also known as the Undertaker streak match. Punk is the name that's getting talked about for this match, assuming that Taker is actually able to wrestle.

I now cannot see anything but a triple threat between Rock/Cena/Punk.
The reason is the fact that Punk clobbered Cena and interrupted Rock when he was clearly about to state he preferred Cena.
If it was going to be Cena V Rock II then Punk would have been quickly put in his place and forgotten.
He is STILL in the middle of a feud only now it is with Rock and Cena plus there will be fall out over McMahon Vs Hayman to add to the situation.

They're blowing off the Punk/Cena/Rock thing on next monday's Raw. Cena vs Punk for the WM main event spot. Cena will beat Punk clean and it's Rock vs Cena II for the title and Cena gets the belt back after not having it for over a year and then likely goes on to beat Punk's record.

The McMahon Vs Hayman thing is likely to lead to HHH vs Lesnar.

We'll see.
I read the same gutter sites that you obviously do and they are wrong as much as they are right.

Well they've finally got rid of the spinner belt.

The Rock showed off the new belt on Raw last night.



Still looks tacky to me.

Looks as though that is a Rock version though with the brahma bull on the bottom pic.

Agree it looks tacky though.

Jack Swagger got arrested on Tuesday night for a DUI, speeding and possession of marijuana. Silly boy Does this throw his Wrestlemania plans into jepardy?

Punk v Cena was brilliant. They always have great matches together.

Taker worked a live show last week?
