Just went through the past 4 pages now, I'm glad aqua got CLUBBED.
HBK as guest ref for Del Rio's match?
Taker vs Otunga?

Two things...

This is just from memory so I could be wrong, but I believe they sold 32,000 tickets yesterday in the UFC Fight Club presale.  Their current planned setup is to only seat a total of 42,000-44,000, but that could change based on demand.

If UFC was holding this show within a few months of WrestleMania, I could definitely see WWE staying away, especially with how expensive UFC tickets are.  But with WrestleMania XXVIII being a year later, I don't think it is an issue.  WWE may paper the crowd a lot and exaggerate the actual attendance, but they would have no problem getting 60,000 people into a WrestleMania in Toronto.

Wm card in my mind-

Edge vs Christian
Taker vs Del Rio (Championship match) - HBK enforcer
Miz vs Cena (Championship match)
Riley vs The King (Michael Cole on a Pole match)
HHH vs. Sheamus
Morrison vs Danielson vs Dolph vs Kofi (special interpromotion match (like that matters anymore))
Kane vs Dolph vs Rey vs Rhodes vs R-Truth vs Drew Mac vs Bourne vs Boss Barrett
Show vs Zeke (Guerrilla Press challenge)
Corre vs Nexus
Punk vs RKO

Triple H Vs Taker. Career Vs Streak. Thoughts? (I'm not confirming anything just seeing how you guys would feel about this match)

- Word going around is that WWE officials have discussed The Undertaker vs. Triple H for WrestleMania 27 in a Career vs. Streak match with Shawn Michaels as the guest referee.


In what may be the very first clue of post-Vince McMahon World Wrestling Entertainment, HHH is pushing hard behind the scenes for what a source described as “a major overhaul
