As announced on RAW last night, Triple H and John Cena will be teaming up to take on the team of Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, and Kurt Angle for the main event of Saturday Night's Main Event 2 hour primetime special on NBC on March 18th.

Also on Saturday Night's Main Event will be a Street Fight between Shane McMahon and Shawn Michaels.

Also announced on RAW last night was that Hulk Hogan will induct Mean Gene Okerland at the Hall of Fame. That likely means he'll be appearing at WrestleMania 22 in some way, shape, or form.


Candice Michelle will reveal her Playboy cover next week on RAW.

There is an article today in The Baltimore Sun with Stacy Keibler where she talks about her future in WWE. She stated that while she was still under contract with WWE, she was "not really sure" if she would be re-signing. She is meeting with the President of ABC tomorrow to discuss future roles on the network. Many within WWE already know she probably won't be around much longer due to the massive amounts of job opportunities coming her way.

Good luck to her, I say....:thumbsup:

I think if anybody would be a good person to transition into movies and television shows from the WWE it would be Stacy. I am just curious of what type of role she would play. She could do well as a ass kicking action chick, but it would be interesting to see how well she does in a drama or comedy.

(With of course ample opportunity with a type of character that gives her an excuse to be half dressed every once in a while )

Stacy news seems to be running wild:1orglaugh:


-- The National Ledger ran a piece of Stacy Keibler and Dancing With The Stars, saying that her heel injury is to blame for not winning the contest.

-- Just a reminder that tonight Stacy Keibler will be on The Jimmy Kimmel show on ABC.

-- Thanks to Jon Peterson for sending this in: On the Need For Speed: Most Wanted website, there is a poll on which woman people would like to see in the next Need For Speed game, and Stacy Keibler is one of the choices.

-- Hal Boedeker of the Orlando Sentinel said in his online blog yesterday that Stacy Keibler deserved to get second place in Dancing With The Stars.

-- Thanks to Paul Michael for sending this in: Fox 5's Inside Edition did a piece on Stacy Keibler's wrestling career. It did not mention her start as a Nitro Girl but showed some clips of Taboo Tuesday '04 in the School Girl Battle Royal and a clip from SmackDown!

-Stacy Keibler's WWE contract will be expiring in July.



Sid Vicious was actually considered for a role at this year's Wrestlemania in a main event match. It didn't pan out though, for whatever reason. Vicious wrestled on a few independent shows last year.

In an interview with the Baltimore Sun, Stacy Keibler says she's been flooded with offers for movies, television shows and commercials since breaking out as a mainstream star during "Dancing with the Stars."

"I'm actually meeting with the president of ABC on Wednesday to talk to them about possibly doing some things on the network," she said. "I have endorsement deals -- I'm doing the new Skechers ad. It's been crazy."

"Basically, this has been a coming-out party for Stacy," Stuff Magazine editor Jimmy Jellinek said. "The rest of the world now knows what wrestling fans have known for some time. I see no bounds for Stacy. She has that combination of innocence and toughness, the way Julia Roberts had when she started out: Someone who can steal your heart and kick your [behind]."

Stacy's WWE contract expires in July and said she's "not really sure" if she will renew it.

I was just noticing a bud of mines animated avatar, and I thought about something: Anyone else miss the old Giant? The Big Show is great and all, but he seemed a bit faster and better about the time he entered the WWF and his time in WCW. The long hair, the tanktop. Maybe its me, but just thought I'd throw that out there...

 

[Slam]

When he would throw out the drop kick? I know what you mean but I like the Big Show more cause it allows him to have fun instead of being that cold-meance he was stuck as the Giant.

 

[member20672]

But you have to admit, he's lost something over the years. Sadly though, his time is limited. Hopefully he's mainting his optimal health, or he's looking down the path that all other giants take, including Andre.

Discussion over a way to bring former WWE play-by-play announcer Jim Ross back to television is ongoing as the consensus remains that WWE made a mistake in removing Ross from television, reports The Wrestling-Observer.

WWE does not want Ross to return as an announcer, but many within the company do want him to have a presence leading up to WrestleMania.

While making public appearances, Ross consistently has to explain why he's still with the company despite being removed from the commentators' table.

I always had the impression that "good ol' JR" was high up the WWE food-chain anyway (if only I could remember where I heard this...possibly "Beyond the Mat"? I dunno)

i heard the same on beyond the mat

Vince McMahon vs. Shawn Michaels is official for WrestleMania 22. They will confirm this next week on RAW.

 

[Chrism86354]

i hope vince vs. shawn isnt just a regular match, i hope there is some kind of stipulation. either way i believe the match will be quite enjoyable.

Stacy has a meeting with the president of ABC tomorrow to discuss future roles on the network. It's known that Stacy had been trying to get into acting for years now, along with Torrie Wilson.

When AskMen.com did their Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2006, they said that Torrie Wilson was the most likely to cross over from wrestling. However, the way things are looking right now, Stacy Keibler is much more likely to start getting more movie and TV roles.

This past Dancing With The Stars competition got much more media coverage than the previous one, with Stacy Keibler usually being one of the centerpieces.

There have been a couple indications of tension between Keibler and WWE, including her talking negatively about WWE in interview and WWE removing all coverage of her from their website for a short period of time.

 

[Chrism86354]

it would be too bad to see stacy leave wwe, but at least she can expand her options and maybe move on to something better.

I have a few questions you all seem to be devoted WWE fans and I was just wondering if anyone could answer any of my quesions on some WWE rumors.

About a couple of months ago Lita celebrated with Edge in a live sex act and one of her boobs was exposed and I heard rumors that there are pics of it on the Internet. Can someone send me a link of this picture?

Does anyone know if Jericho is returning for WM 22?

What is The Rock's status for WM 22? Is he wrestling anyone?

Is Austin vs Hogan going to happen? There were rumors after WWE Homecoming these guys are going to fight and here we are a month before Wrestlemania and neither guy is wrestling!

I went to the Smackdown taping this week and in case anyone is interested here are the Smackdown spoilers for anyone who wants them.....


Tatanka def Booker T (thanks to Boogeyman distracting Book)
Orton def Super Crazy (Orton has a new theme music...this was a good match)
MNM def Hardy and Animal (Animal turns heel by beating up Hardy after the loss)
Lashley and Finley double DQ
Undertaker def Angle via DQ by Mark Henry (Taker hit the Tombstone and went for the cover only to have Henry disrupt the count....Henry beat up Taker and placed Taker on the English announce table then jumped from the Spanish announce table belly flopped on Taker thus breaking the English announce table).
A WM 22 match between JBL and Benoit is announced

I know that most people think Smackdown is the inferior brand, but trust me you don't want to miss this week's Smackdown especially Taker vs Angle...that match alone was worth the price of admission.
