The card doesn't seem too bad.

Especially with Bryan and Cara vs. DiBiase and Rhodes!

im looking to this card probably more than the wrestlemania card, hope they dont f*ck it up (who am i kidding i know there's no way cena and orton are losing)

but i really hope each match gets a good amount of time b/c most of these guys are capable of having stellar matches

I could see one of the World title matches ending by DQ or count out to prolong the feud.

I think either Orton or Cena are dropping the title. It wouldn't surprise me if its both but if I was a betting man I'd say Orton drops it.

Something about R-Truth's current heel run is making me think that he's somehow walking out of this PPV with the title. Not sure if they're going to run an angle where he steals the belt, or if he's going to win it by some sort of underhanded chicanery. I just don't see them ending his run right now because, as surprising as it has been to me, he's been on one hell of a run lately. The guy has a ton of heat and has been entertaining enough that it isn't just cheap heat.

I'm just the opposite. I can't see either guy winning the title, now or in the future.

Agreed on all points but there are 2 reasons I see Christian as a better bet. One, Raw is deeper in terms of heels than SD. Also, there's a way for R-Truth to lose without burying him. Have Morrison come out and cause a distraction leading to the loss. If Christian loses there's really nowhere for him to go and I don't think they trust Barrett or Sheamus to be in the headline feud

I could see that, but at the same time, they could use this as more of an opportunity to build Christian into a super heel. His heel turn is still pretty new, whereas Truth's has been brewing for a while now and is insanely over. I think they should cash in on Truth while the iron is hot, because I just can't see him continuing to get this kind of crowd reaction for a whole lot longer before it gets stale. Personally, I feel like they should use some more time on building Christian as more of a heel (have him do some downright dirty work on the promos) and then have him win the title at Summerslam once he's completely hated by the "universe". Christian has the skills (mic & ring) to carry a long run in the spotlight, and I just don't think Truth has it. Although, I have been really impressed by Truth since the heel turn.

It's so stupid how they have Punk against Mysterio. CM punk deserves way better than that.. come on WWE

i think christian winning the belt would be a logical conclusion (though im not putting my faith in it) b/c imo him losing would just make him look real weak, though he'd probably continue feuding w/orton if he won b/c there's no real top face on the show outside of him

the way r-truth is going on raw, i dont think he really needs the belt (though id love for anyone outside of cena to have it) he's over either way plus it can go with his whole conspiracy angle. i think we're getting set up for a cena/punk feud for summerslam

I just started watching wrestling again over the last 3-4 months and will be deeply disappointed if R Truth doesn't win.

1 hour. I look forward to this PPV.

I hope Christian wins the title back and gets a lengthy run. I mean, how many guys can be a heel and still be so ridiculously over with the fans that WWE has to edit canned audience reactions into their broadcast to keep up kayfabe. WWE has a gift and they better not screw it up.

Over/Under on awful president obama promos?

I like how King makes Vickie fat jokes even though she clearly has lost a lot of weight.

Good ending. Stupid commentary though, they were all shocked that kofi was knocked out. Isn't that the purpose of the sleeper...

Truth!

Yes! Good win for riley. Crowd was really behind him.
