I hope Ziggler takes the US Title off Kingston.
I don't like Barrett with the IC Title but I don't want it near Zeke. I dislike him..

Was there really any doubt that this match would go ahead?

Yes, yes there was.

It is a different world when it comes to concussions. No one is being told to suck it up anymore.

Personally I don't buy it, I think it was all for publicity.

I don't think Orton was ever going to pull out of this match.

The fact that WWE publicised the fact that they may pull one of their wrestlers from the card because he has a concussion could have just been a positive-attention-seeking stunt to show the media and sponsors that the health and wellness of their talent is more important than a PPV match for the WHC (which I don't believe Vince thinks it is).

I seem to remember a PPV where 2 or 3 matches had to be re-arranged die to the suspension of some wrestlers who failed a wellness policy test, think that was in 2007 though.

I think I misunderstood what you were initially saying. We are actually on similar wave lengths.

Anyway IMPACT tests are apparently easy to beat and WWE has pressured doctors in the past.

you make them watch impact and if they claim to understand everything going on they are obviously not fit to compete

You.. Stole!!

This is a pretty good card for such a run of the mill ppv. WWE must be trying to step up their game since OTL.

Just wondering are many of you going ordering/buying this. I'm not, just don't think wwe have done enough to earn another €23.Should be a good card but all the matches i'd look forward to i've seen before.

i'm intrigued by how riley gets on in an actual match and how r truth does in the main event but will probably have get a stream instead of coughing up. I have major issues with sky's pricing for ppv's no way does 14.95 translate to what they charge us

Creative Recall has a blog up predicting the PPV results. He tends to be pretty much spot on when he does these things so spoilers ahoy...

You might be interested to know that the new DVD 'WCW - The very best of WCW Nitro' was released last week. I plan on watching it myself in the next few days.

Which is the least likely and which is the most likely to happen at the PPV tonight;

The show starts with a rendition of America the Beautiful or the USA national anthem.

R-Truth wins the gold.

We see an Barack Obama look-a-like in a backstage skit.

Batista makes his return to WWE in his home city.
