    Don't have to worry about The Miz being there, they said a top WWE Superstar :D.

    Better don't expect any top superstar, other years were Mark Henry, Big Show... I hope this year being different and platinum get a "platinum superstar" :) I'm not asking HBK, HHH or Undertaker, but Edge or Jericho would be fine :-)

    Ya, no way I see any of the top talent like Triple H or Undertaker. I would love it, if we got Jericho. I just hope they change their minds, and let us take posed photos, but I'm not holding my breath. Would make more sense to let us take posed photos, seeing as how the package hotels are spread out this year.

    Well I think it should be at least Jericho or a Edge, or a Randy Orton to me, I never thought Taker, Shawn or HHH, although getting Taker and Edge on Friday I am very excited to at least see them in person.

    My Luck I get Hornswoggle and the Bella twins ha ha

    Yeah they usually say it's an autograph session and not a photo one, but if you're quick you can always put aside the wrestler while your friend takes your pic :-) Be sure the wrestler won't even get up of his chair :-(

    I think Sheamus would be ok for me :)

    Actor and Major League Baseball personality Bob Uecker is set to be inducted into this year's WWE Hall of Fame class, reports the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

    In 1987, Uecker appeared as a ringside announcer at WrestleMania III in Pontiac, Michigan, followed by a return the following year at WrestleMania IV as both a ringside announcer and backstage interviewer. One famous Wrestlemania segment saw André the Giant choking Uecker.

    WWE officials have been after "Mr. Baseball" for years to be inducted, but it always conflicted with the Milwaukee Brewers' schedule, and he declined. This year, the ceremony takes place Mar. 27 in Phoenix, before the Brew Crew break spring training.

    "It's going to be a hoot," said Uecker.

    The official announcement is expected to be made during the Mar. 22 Raw when baseball great Pete Rose hosts.

    haha, just stumbled across this -- not really happy with line up reallllyyy...well if they announce Stu and Warrior i'll be happy. Only really looking forward to Million Dollar man we need someone else who is actually alive and will give something to remember so lets hope the warrior and WWE have kissed and made up. For our sakes!!

    Bob Uecker....... He's not even in the MLB Hall Of Fame (neither is Pete Rose for that matter!!) :p. That's the kind of induction that cheapens the value of the Hall Of Fame. People like Uecker and Rose have done nothing that merits their enshrinement into the WWE (Wrestling) HOF.

    I remember hearing they were trying to get Lawrence Taylor inducted this year, I mean seriously, if you are a celebrity and have any involvement in a WWE storyline, that means you can be inducted? What next? Are they going to start inducting Raw guest hosts 5 years down the road?

    Ditto on everything you wrote, I really don't agree with him being inducted they are scratching at threads this year it seems, besides Debiase and Stu Hart.

    Maybe you coyuld arrange with some other people on here to share a taxi to/from it. For coming home, I'd recommend going to Westgate after Mania...possibly see a movie and get a cab after the crowd have gone!!! Its hell trying to get a cab after Mania.

    You guys still have it easy. It was 4 degrees (Fahrenheit) here yesterday, it's up to a blistering hot 20 degrees right now. Our winter temps are ****ed. We had one day where it was -20 degrees, then the next day it was +20. So 40 degree difference in temp in a 24 hour time span.

    I'm looking forward to some sunshine in Phoenix. I'm almost as white as Sheamus. :D
