ADDED MATCH (spoiler from SD)
I-C TITLE: Cody vs. Big Show
I like it. Finally the IC belt is being defended at Mania and the build up already has been fantastic with Cody exposing Show for the Mania inept turd that he is. The IC belt is also the only title Show has never won I believe, so this makes for some great drama. Better than the Show/Shaw or Cody/Goldust shit that was rumored.
also looks like Orton vs Kane at Mania which could cool but looks more like a main eventers left over match up.

Darn it Swarm, I was JUST about to post on this too! I think this is great! How long has it been since the IC title was defended at WM?
Now we just need a legit tag team title match (which sadly look like it would be Primo and Epico against R-Truth and Kofi Kingston) and it could be a classic night.

i like that match, and i wouldn't be surprised to see Cody go over Show.
the match i'm interested in is Punk vs. Jericho, from the standpoint that Punk has been calling himself the best in the world. well now he's at WrestleMania vs. one of the best in the past 20 years. Those guys really have to put on a great match, and i think it's on Punk, since we've seen Jericho in other classic matches on the big stage.
As to Cena-Rock, well i don't think either one of them hate each other. I ' m pretty sure Cena is over the moon to be wrestling Rock at WrestleMania. Hey maybe that's why he criticized him 2 years ago to begin with, to get him to come back and wrestle him. And as for what Rock says, Rock has always been about catch phrases and being a cartoon character. How the heck it's going to play out is anyone's guess. Still most likely that Cena wins and Rock raises his hand at the end.
And everyone that hate's Cena will vomit.

I'm happy about Show/Rhodes and Orton/Kane, but I'm still waiting for a Miz match. I'd even be happy if he faced Kingston.

I have a feeling just before Mania Epico & Primo will drop the belts to Kingston/Truth which will set up the new champs up against team Vickie (Ziggler/Swagger), which will mean unless Swagger drops the US title it won't be defended at Mania

While that would be a cool match, with the promos alone worth watching, we'd have to settle for Kofi. Personally, I'd love to see The King of Diamonds in the WWE. |

Some of my feelings after last night's RAW...
-I have mixed emotions about HBK as the special ref. While it does add another log to the fire, I kind of feel that it is act of desperation to increase interest in the match, and it's not really necessary. I think that making it a HIAC added enough sizzle on its own. I just hope that it's a "clean" win for either guy and HBK doesn't get physically involved and just lets them fight it out on their own. Has there ever been a special ref for a streak match? I don't think so, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.
-The Rock's videos were hilarious (especially the merchandise one). I'll give him that, and I agree with a lot of his points about Cena being shoved down our throats for so many years. Yet, I am pulling for Cena. It makes no sense for a part-timer to go over the franchise guy of the company at the biggest show of the year. Just like it was right to have Rock go over Hogan 10 years ago.
However, I really do think Cena is intimidated by The Rock. Whenever they are in the ring together Cena looks visibly nervous, like he knows Rock is the only one that can top him on the mic and he doesn't know how to handle it. Yes, I know The Rock just spits out insults and childish stuff but Cena has done the same thing to many of his opponents over the years. I thought Rock pretty much owned Cena last night. After Rock left, Cena seemed shaky on the mic like he was just trying to save face.
Just an observation more than anything. Again, I hope Cena kicks Rock's ass.
-Where the heck are the rest of the HOF inductees?

I feel like if they are going to give us HHH-UT for the third time they may as well throw in HBK. The only thing that could make this more grinding is that if somehow that schlub Mick Foley gets involved. Spare me. Still, should be an awesome match, but I'm most excited that we probably won't have to see these 3 again for awhile after this than anything.
The Rock promos were all so dumb. He really looks lame out there. And when he came out live it was more of the same. Cena is totally owning him and no it's not a work.
Santino winning the US Title was fun but the crying was dumb. He's been IC champ twice before and that's way more prestigious. He's also been tag champion but they acted like this was the first belt he ever won.
Orton vs. Kane - really love both guys but this match seems like leftovers. I think they could actually tell a great story here if Kane were to come out and say that the whole point of his feud w Cena was for Kane to lose, and that Cena has embraced the hate whether he knows it or not, and guarantees a Cena W at Mania. Then he says Orton is not the same as he used to be, and now Orton needs to "embrace the hate". Use this as a vehicle to make Orton a crazy heel again. Lots of great ways to go here but it feels more like "just a match".
Zack Ryder stuff was ok.
Punk/Sheamus vs. DB and Jericho was good. They didn't give away too much. I really think DB vs. Sheamus is going to be a car wreck. I have a feeling that will be the "stiffest" match on the show, more than HHH-UT and Punk-Jericho.

I thought the Rock's stuff wasn't that great this week, and this is from someone firmly on Team Bring It. Like The Rock wasn't a merch whore in his day. I'm not sure there was ever a Rock garden gnome (REALLY?!?) but still. I don't think Cena's stuff was any better, but it really seems that this week they both tried but didn't quite reach where they were aiming.
HBK the ref in The Streak match...meh. I do like that it wasn't just another "I'm HHH sidekick, ahyuck ahyuck" stuff though. Still, for some reason I'm not feeling this match like I should be. I am a HUGE Undertaker fan, and we all know The Streak will not end.
I agree with Swarm. I was SO diasapointed when the pay-off for the Cena/Kane feud was a freaking EVE HEEL TURN! Although if they had more time to push this match I could totally see it being a battle of the sick, psychotics. Kane the thinking monster and Orton the cunning predator.
Punk/Jericho and Bryan/Shamus honestly seem like window dressing and I'm not sure how I feel about the two biggest titles in the fed being defended as second card matches. Then again this IS Wrestlemania.
