Do people honestly part with £14.95 to watch this? Are they mental?

 

[Ernest]

Can't wait for this, I shall be sitting up all night watching on SKY Box Office. Really looking forward to seeing how the big 2 contests pan out, will John Cena or The Rock turn heel or will there be interference from someone ? Undertaker v Triple H should be a ding donger but can't see the streak ending yet.

My predictions -

Cena beats Rock
Undertaker beats HHH
Jericho beats Punk
Bryan beats Sheamus
Show beats Rhodes
Orton beats Kane
Johnny beats Teddy
Menounos/Kelly beats Torres/Phoenix

Works out at about $28. In america, HD version can cost almost $70, and yes, people do pay it.

I wouldn't watch it if it was free

Looking forward to this much more than last years, which was pretty bad

Anyone put any money on it? Paddy Power are taking bets

Only single bets and I doubt they would take any from anyone in the know

What is a single bet?

 

[Beach Hut]

Surely the bigger question is will Vincentelot be watching this or not ?

I suppose around 5 o'clock we can draw our own conclusions

Then why bother opening a thread about it and then post something about it?

Epitome of pointlessness.

£7 for mania party at Belushi's bar in Brighton. 4pm-4am. Looking forward to it but other than hhh-taker, punk-y2j and rock-Cena its a fairly average card, however it will better than last year for certain imo!

It has already been leaked online that John Cena beats the Rock.

WWE creative is a hectic place. They won't have locked in the results of many matches. Most people suspect Cena winning makes the most sense - Rock isn't a full time wrestler so having him come in and beat the top guy is bad for business (a part timer beating your best man, what does it say about the rest of them?), that is the extent of it beingleaked online, other than that chances are the result isn't definitively decided yet. There is the possibility a rematch may occur at summerslam, with the decisive third match occurring at next year's wrestlemania, in which case the rock may win. If they had decided on a winner now and it has leaked, chances are they will change it just because it leaked. They are that petty at times.

WWE are also in negotiations with Brock lesnar to come back, with suggestions he will interfere in the finish and lay them both out, or lay one of them out to start a build for him to face that guy at a later event. But at the moment the inside info is that chances of a deal being done are 50/50. That could be the bigwigs at wwe playing down things so that leaks lower expectation, or it could be that negotiations actually could go either way, and the result of this negotiation could affect how they finish the rock/cena match.

Dave Batista is also in miami this weekend, according to his twitter it is for something else but he could make an appearance.

I think more likely Brock Lesnar to go after the Undertaker to set up a match for next years 'mania, Kevin Nash in town too so hopefully 'Big Sexy' will be involved too

Nash is possibility, as the Mani party he was hosting with Sean Waltman was last night. I agree that Lesnar will get involved somewhere in the night, and every possibility in the Taker match. Fairly certain that Batista is taking part in some sort of charity run in Miami.

That would be a bloody awful way to end it, which means they'll probably do it

 

[mrbigshot]

Wwe is nothing like it used to be, grew up with the attitude era and stopped watching about 5/6 years ago. Since it turned pg it really sucks. Anyway I hope the Rock beats Cena

 

[The_Viper]

Paddy Power taking full on accumalators on the card, really tempted by it! 8/11 for Cena to beat Rocky is just unbelievable odds worth taking! I can't see this match going any other way. I love The Rock, and I'll strop like a little boy when he does lose because there will always be that little bit of hope that he's gonna win but it makes no sense in any way shape or form for Cena to lose unless he turns heel. Which I just cannot see.

I had read that the plan is that, a la Cena vs. Rock, the main event for next year will be announced on Raw on Monday. That plan suggested said match could be Lesnar vs. Austin.

As has been said though, everything is subject to change, and rumours are ten a penny this time of year
