Can the beast end the streak, or does Taker go marching on???
Hulk Hogan spoils Mania surprise?:
Hulk Hogan may have given away 2 of the 3 surprise entrants in the Andre The Giant Battle Royal. When asked who he picked to win the match, he, like every one else, picked the Big Show, but also said to watch out for Big E. as a possible winner. He did not stop there however, he went on to say that something crazy could happen, and would not be surprised if the Ultimate Warrior or Sting turned up for the match.
Question is, was Hulk being cheeky, and having fun, or are these two legends going to be a part of this epic match?. If so it would be Sting's WWE and WrestleMania debut, and Warrior's first Mania match since 1996.
Also on the Battle Royal, Big Show has corrected mis-information by Rowdy Roddy Piper on Raw this week. Piper said that he picked Show to win the match because he is the most like Andre, and was the only one to have worked with him. Big Show says he never met Andre, and that the great man had died before he started in the business, and that he wanted to correct Roddy at the time, but felt he could not, because he was on a roll, and did not want to cause offense.
WrestleMania 30:
The Undertaker is not in control of the creative path for his Mania match this year, as has become the norm in recent years. Vince McMahon is running things. One WWE source suggests The Undertaker did offer to do the job, to allow Brock to be the man to end the streak, but the way Lesnar is being booked going into the match, would suggest WWE are not going that route to me. Many are criticising the handling of Lesnar going into the match, in particular the word ''Coward'' used on Raw recently. It is said they are making him look weak, when they should be doing the exact opposite.
Expect some big names, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Rowdy Roddy Piper and Jim Ross have all been asked to play a part in the event in cameo appearances. The Rock may not appear in person, but by video link, depending on his schedule.
WWE business:
Triple H has taken over the WWE payroll duties.
Jerry Lawler is finalising a deal to sell his Memphis Wrestling video library to WWE.
Hall Of Fame:
WWE insiders have confirmed the plan to induct the original line up of the NWO (Hogan, Hall and Nash) into the Hall Of Fame, but have suggested it will not happen at next years class. It has been said that WWE plan to repeat what they are doing this year, with Razor Ramon, and induct Kevin Nash as his Diesel character first, meaning the group induction would not happen until 2016, at the earliest.
Paul Bearer's inductor's will be his Son's it is believed. Not his on screen Son's, The Undertaker and Kane, but his real world ones.
Post Mania feuds:
Planned rivalries after this Sunday's event include...
* Randy Orton vs Daniel Bryan...
* Big E. vs Alberto Del Rio.
Rey Mysterio:
Rey Mysterio's WWE deal is in it's final weeks, and the two sides have still not come to a new agreement.
Paul Orndorff:
Mr. Wonderful says WWE should have put the Belt on him, not Hulk Hogan...
''That's what they should have done. And instead of making hundreds of millions of dollars they could have made thousands of millions of dollars if they had done that. We talked about it some and that's what they should have done ... I guess for some reason because [Hulk] was 6'5" and weighed 320 pounds that he was this big huge thing that nobody should beat him for the belt. If they would have said "Let's go out there, Paul, and you fight for your life and Terry, you go out there and you fight for your life," you can bet your ass I would have fought. I guarantee ... I would have won and [Hulk] knows it.''
AJ Lee:
A Florida fan, that regularly sees AJ as she travels out of state for her WWE dates says he was the first to know about her engagement to CM Punk. He claims she showed off her ring last week, and told him it would be her last trip out of that airport, as she was moving to Chicago with her new fiance. The fan did post a photo of himself with AJ as ''Proof'' of his story.
WWE suffer legal setback:
WWE have been denied a request to have all sellers of WWE merch, other than licensed sellers, representing them, stopped and banned from the city of New Orleans, as they did last year. However a NOLA judge told them she would not grant them the same authority to close all vendors down this year.
Best In The World:
Harley Race says Triple H is the best wrestler in the world, mainly because he uses a lot of his style.
New NXT addition:
