Doh!
Sounds like it'll be a very short return!
Who they gonna face him with?

NeroTheExtreme

They haven't said yet. I'd like to see Rock V HBK seeing as it's never been done before.

Nero

Gillie

Sounds good to me!
Have you seen any of his movies?
Are they any good?

Wouldnt suprise me to see main event changed to

Kane vs HHH vs Goldberg vs Rock

or in my little fantasty world Rock vs Hurricane (yay)

NeroTheExtreme

Nah, Goldberg V Rock at Backlash wasn't the greatest, they're hardly gonna throw that onto their biggest PPV of the year. Same for Kane V HHH, they already had that at Wrestlemania 15 and it wasn't great either, altho a lot of that has to do with the Vinny Ru booking!

The only reason Rock/Austin was a success at 3 wrestlemanias (altho i thought their last one could have been a LOT better) is because they work well together. HHH can't work with anyone unless they're guaran damned teed to put him over, Goldberg is a 3 move wonder and Kane is a midcard joke.

Kane is indeed a joke - he never got the wins he should have had - over Undertaker, Xpac and HHH (way back in D-X era)

Kane was and still is fantastic - very agile for a big man - I made mention in a post yonks ago, that he shocked me with some fantastic feats - dropkicking Mark Henry and leaping over the top rope and landing on his feet (while wrestling X-pac)

He is a sorely misused talen in my eyes - and it all started with him now getting justified wins, taking off the mask and that blasted "Vick" angle with HHH

NeroTheExtreme

Mistakes Kane has made

1) Accepting the angle when people clearly remember him as being Issac Yankem DDS and the Fake Diesel!

2) Katie f'n Vick. The match was worse, listening to amount of times JR would mention "Katie Vick" was as bad as listening to the amount of times McMahon would say "unbelievable" during the 90s

3) Kane's voice box! I've heard better drive thru's at McD's!

4) Not unmasking a lot earlier, again, i still reckon that was another last gasp for ratings

5) Teaming with X-Sac

6) The Kane/X-Sac/Tori angle. We really didn't need to know if he was impotent!

And he wonders why he's still stuck in the midcard? Combine all of this and i have the following to holler:

HELL FIRE AND TOOTHPASTE! The return of BIG DADDY DENTIST!

Regarding the Rock/Austin match at WM.
I'm currently reading the Stone Cold Truth.
The day prior to that match Austin was taken to Hospital with Chest Pains. (he talks about it in the book)
IMO Austin looked terrible in that match and I think it was coz of him being in Hospital the day b4.

As a sidenote the book is ok. It reads like a child wrote it though.

NeroTheExtreme

Texas redneck! You expecting articulation?
Yeah, Rock/Austin at Wrestlemania 15 and 17 were the bomb and would easily recommend both shows to be watched for both of those events.

Well,i think its good that Rock is back. Hope he does some good while hes around(saw the trailer for Rundown when i went to see swat,looks deadly!!)

I think the best case scenario to put him in would be against HHH. He'll be leaving after WM,no doubt,and, as someone said, HHH only does good when he gets to win. I know this match has been done THOUSANDS of times,but it's the best they can make from it.

As for Goldberg,don't forget that his contract runs out BEFORE WM,so unless they negotiate a good deal,he mightn't be around.

NeroTheExtreme

The negotiations are next week. He's on 1.5 million! I can't see TNA giving him that amount of cash, so unless he wants to retire early...

"Wouldnt suprise me to see main event changed to Kane vs HHH vs Goldberg vs Rock"

Isn't Kane fightin Undertaker?? Cos it leaves a pretty obvious triple threat match there,no???

Gillie

What did he do for those 2 years before WWE signed him anyway?

NeroTheExtreme

Sat on his ass collecting the guaranteed money from Time/Warner until his contract expired. Just like Nash and Hogan did.

Nero

you couldnt blame the guy, there would be very fue in his position that would do otherwise no matter how much u loved the bisness
