Taken from last nights WWE house show in Illinois report over at f4wonline:

Sin Cara's debut

Match 4
Primo Colon vs THE DEBUTING SIN CARA

Wow, this was a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to Sin Cara hopefully bringing back this exciting style to Monday nights. Mistico errr Sin Cara did most of his trademark spots, including the Corkscrew Plancha, the Springboard Rana, the Spinning Flying Head Scissors and the running headfirst dive between the ropes. They weren't all super smooth, but this is still night one. Sin Cara tried for another springboard rana but Primo reversed it into a power bomb. Primo tried for another Power Bomb, but this time Sin Cara reversed it into the La Mistica (!) for the submission win at 11:12. Good match and people liked Sin Cara, especially considering no one had seen him before or knew who he was. ***1/4

Thought HHH did a great job last night (as much as I cant stand him) and I really think the UT was rather crappy.

Like HBK telling Hunter "you cant win"

If HHH beats the UT then Im done with the WWE.

Yeah HHH/Taker FINALLY put up an enticing promo last nite.. it only took Shawn to help them out. I thought for sure they were gonna announce Shawn as the guest ref when HHH said "tell him why im gonna win Shawn", but it never happened.

 

[SHOGUN]

John Cena is a coward and I feel that any man that marks out for him is soft.

Thought the same thing. I think adding Michaels to the match would take away from it. Whatever "it" is.

I know we all touched on this before but I love how they dont even mention the fact they wrestled at Wrestlemania before.

I see why they aren't, I just think they missed a great opportunity to actually use that history in this match.

Sell the Undertaker as overconfident.
Have HHH dominate him for the first 3/4 of the match.
Undertaker overcomes the early big time beat down to win.

They've never actually had the Undertaker truly against the ropes in a match.

In the matches with Shawn, they were just two great competitors slugging it out. They never actually had the Undertaker dead on the train tracks.

No I know why they not, I just find it funny. Why doesnt Taker just say "Ill beatcha like I did last time" ala Clubber Lang

Looking forward to a superkick then kickout by taker...

Rock will close out Mania holding the WWE Title....

Rock will close out Mania holding the WWE Title....

that will be awfully difficult since Taker/HHH is ending the show. :smug:

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Just caught RAW...fantastic promos.

That Undertaker/HHH/Michaels promo was immense and the best promo in a loooong time (better than Steen/Generico).

You could have had no build up to that point and that promo just catapults that match to the top of the card. Immense.

That's where you're wrong sir, just saw a report earlier today stating that they changed the Main Event to Miz/Cena...which all the more adds to why I think The Rock will win the title.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

If they pull a Hogan-Yoko ending to this year's WrestleMania, I'll buy the next TNA PPV.

i've been watching wrestling since like 97 or 98... if HHH goes over Undertaker im gonna be pissed... first he already had his shot at the streak before it was known and mentioned as "The Streak" and idk i just think hes done it all already... HHH will be remembered as great no matter what for his umpteen title reigns, DX history, big victories on big stages etc... Sure he wont go down as Austin or Hogan but he'll be remembered fondly regardless of this match... not to mention if he breaks the streak all we are gonna hear about is the BS politics the surrounds alot of HHH's success (tho some of the hate is unwarranted)... basically HHH gains nothing from breaking the streak, while the Undertaker loses a large part of his aura

now as to who should break the streak if ever? i think the streak should remain unbroken... there were a couple of chances to break the streak but they didnt do it so i think they should just let it go unbroken... i personally think Kane could have broken it during their first matchup and i think orton could have broken it

instead kane constantly got beat in their high profile matches and looked like undertakers bitch up until last year where he finally held the world heavyweight championship and really just dominated the undertaker... if kane won in their first meeting tho... he would have had sooooo much heat and momentum as THE most feared and dominant monster in wrestling

orton was picking up momentum again after the horrid face turn from evolution... he was the legend killer and i thought beating undertaker would have really cemented his place as the new cocky heel main eventer

since these two matches tho i think the streak has been handled well... tho there has been some shitty matches (cough big bossman hell in a cell cough) lol

more thoughts on any of this?

They won't kill the streak at this point.

Figure Taker has one more WM match next year and then he can retire and not have to kill his body.

I'm pretty sure his body is torn up already as it is.

I'm pretty sure his body is torn up already as it is.

One of his shoulders is hanging by a thread.

He probably needs a hip replacement.

His knees have been shot for awhile.

But the man can still perform on the big stage.
