To mark the run in to the big show in I am going to reveal my top 10 Mania matches, and why I enjoyed them, see if you agree.
5 - Macho Man Randy Savage vs The Dragon Ricky Steamboat (WrestleMania 3) for the Intercontinental Championship.
I don't have to tell you why this match is great, everyone that has seen it knows how good it is, for me Bret Hitman Hart vs Mr. Perfect at SummerSlam 91 was better, (Because I was older, and appreciated it more I think) but this is the best IC Strap match to happen at WrestleMania, and it won't be bettered (This year at least). Two (Should Be) Hall Of Famers at the peak of their careers fighting over what was then an extremely prestigious title with every thing they had. Only problem I had was the end, the finish was a bit scruffy for me.
Hall Of Fame:
Vince Couldn't wait until Friday lol (Unless he has something else up his sleeves).
Vince McMahon has confirmed he will induct Donald Trump into the WWE Hall Of Fame on Saturday night, it will be the third time he has done so, previously inducting James Dudley in 1994 and Stone Cold Steve Austin in 2009.
The line up is now confirmed (Bar a possible surprise inductee)...
* Bob Backlund inducted by Maria Menounos
* Booker T inducted by Stevie Ray
* Bruno Sammartino inducted by Arnold Schwarzenegger
* Donald Trump inducted by Vince McMahon
* Mick Foley inducted by Terry Funk
* Trish Stratus inducted by Stephanie McMahon
Also at the Hall Of Fame ceremony will be the meeting of Vince McMahon and Bruno Sammartino, the pair have not spoken since Bruno quit WWE over the phone in 1988, Bruno said today...
"We will talk privately, face to face, in Madison Square Garden, but not until then. It's better face to face, eye to eye. So we can discuss whatever needs to be discussed."
WWE promote new PPV:
Payback will debut later this year...
"WWE reinvigorates its pay-per-view line up with a fresh new concept that will serve as the perfect stage for all the top Superstars to settle their long simmering grudges and set the stage for the sizzling road to SummerSlam. All major championships will be on the line including the revamped WWE Championship, plus the World Heavyweight Championship and much more. From the clashes for the ultimate prize, to fierce heavy-hitters with scores to settle, WWE fans will want to relive the historic debut of this riveting new event."

WWE have now completed the full life size replica statue of the first ever of Hall Of Famer, which will be used as part of this weeks WrestleMania festivities...

WWE defend Raw this week:
WWE say they have spoken to Michael Moody (Son of Paul Bearer) about his comments and say he gave them this quote...
"Hey. I woke up in time to watch the tail end of the show. What you explained would happen happened. Which is fine. Just it was a little difficult to watch it play out. I put a message on Facebook last night saying that we approved it but it wasn't what I envisioned. That I didn't have anything to say. Well woke up this morning and that quote is being used all over media outlets. For the record. I was fine with it. Was hard to watch but y'all are professionals and I trust."
It is speculated that this is WWE covering their backs, as it is believed they went further than they initially planned, It is rumoured that they asked to use Paul's voice, but having Paul Heyman dressed as their dad on the stage was not discussed. It is not clear if WWE have apologized, and asked for this statement to pour cold water on the story or that Michael's statement had more read into it then was meant, you can read yesterday's comment on yesterday's post and make up your own minds.
Chris Jericho:
Y2J will work Raw and Smackdown next week before leaving WWE to return to his band Fozzy, he will however appear at the Raw taping on April 22 in London, Fozzy are in London that week for a gig.
Flair withdraws from Fan Axxess:
WWE have confirmed The Undertaker will take the spot of Ric Flair at this weeks pre WrestleMania festivities, after Flair lost his young son Reid, whose funeral took place today.
