At the beginning of the new month, PPV provider InDemand has released WWE's official PPV poster and description for WrestleMania 28. Included is a note that Rey Mysterio is advertised for Mania. Mysterio said last week that he's hoping to be healthy-enough for Mania. Also noteworthy, but subject to change, from the description is the "Once In a Lifetime" tagline for The Rock vs. John Cena, suggesting there will not be a re-match or series of matches.

If it is indeed a 1 off then i have trouble seeing the end product. If Rock wins, Cena is left without crowd backing (the mob will turn on him again after all is said and done) and Rock can ride off into the sunset without having to follow it up. If Cena wins, Rock's return has no impact on the product as Cena will be seen to be gaining favouritism in the way he was the man to beat Khali, Umaga etc (which still didnt help him gain many fans). I can see Cena turning heel but i dont know how all of this fits into it in te long run.

So perhaps not a clean finish? Someone comes in (Punk), cleans both their clocks/lays them out which leads to Cena/Rock II at Summerslam? No matter what happens Cena is walking out the heel whether he acts it or not. |

I still think Kane will intervene and help to turn Cena heel, but where from there? Thise 2 vs Rock N' Sock at SS isnt exactly marquee.

Not really excited to see HBK return. Thought he did great leaving on a hight note. The Flair match then the two Undertaker matches. But since HBK has carried pretty much HHH his entire career there's no suprise that HBK is gonna be part of the match. Of course the Undertaker is gonna win. How do you think this match is gonna play out though? Who's gonna get the super kick?

Only thing I can see is him superkicking both, leaving and Foley comes in as the new ref. If he superkicks just one, how can they not set up a match? I think HBK should stay retired.... |

Hunter was essentially PUNISHED for his involvement with Shawn and the rest of the Kliq in "the curtain call" incident. He didn't get his big push until Shawn was out looking for his smile again with carreer-ending injury number 12. I know it goes against your opinions and beliefs, but Hunter's greatest success in pro-wrestling came AFTER Shawn left the company, and BEFORE he married Stephanie. |

Whenever the fans get bored with HHH who does he turn to for a spectacular match? When HHH became the most played out Superstar in the history of the show with that Orton fued who did he turn to? HHH is the King of Kings. This match is Takers #20. Why on Earth is a retired, overweight HBK involved with it at all? There is absolutely no need for him. Why is he back? |

Yes, I agree with that. My post was in reference to your claims that Shawn "carried" Hunter his entire career. |

I think its the consensus amongst old school fans that Trip made his career off the back of HBK. Lets be realistic, had he never befriended Michaels then Trip would never have been elevated to the level he was - infact the clique may have walked all over him the way they did everyone else. HHH without HBK is a vastly different career IMO, i dont know if im blinded by my utter disrespect for them both but i never saw anything in him which made me think, "wow, this guy is going to be amongst the best of all time".

Why do you thinks he back though Mont? He's not the same story as Flair with all the ex-wives and bad investments is he? In the promo's he doesn't seem like he's really desperate to put himself over? Thats just the way he seems to me. He seems like he knows he's done. I think he's gonna bring alot of controversy to this match like we thought he was gonna do last year. Either way someone is getting Sweet Chin Music. I wouldn't be suprised if someone even gets one on a RAW leading up to the match. Gonna be interesting. Undertaker 20-0. |

Thats just the way he seems to me. He seems like he knows he's done. Done or not, he's still Shawn Michaels and always will be in some form. His name will still spark interest and put asses in seats; maybe more now than when he was supposed to be driving the company. I'm sure the old man offered HBK a sweet deal for the night's work, which is hard to turn down no matter how big your savings account is. If Shawn can still perform at a respectable level, I do not fault him for taking Vince's deal. |

Liked the angle they pulled last night with Shawn having a third chance to end the streak. Taker/Michaels have a long history together that doesn't seem like it's ever gonna end. Think this match is gonna be great. I just wish HBK would interfere with the Punk/Jericho match and kick Jericho in the face. That's #1 on my WM wish list. |

There continues to be a lot of speculation regarding The Miz's role at WrestleMania 28. Miz, who successfully defended the WWE title against John Cena in the main event of last year's show, is rumored to be involved in this year's Rock vs. Cena match in some capacity. WWE is said to have a storyline ready for The Miz after WrestleMania and his recent losing streak is part of the buildup to that angle.
