No way HHH and Taker of all people got hit with a fine.
Slap on the wrist, maybe. HIAC needs to be brutal so Taker doesn't kill himself doing spots.

Internets biggest Cole fan?


Yeah, supposedly both HHH and Taker got a $2k fine I think which is a bit stupid as Taker put his hands up for the chair shot so it wasn't direct to the head like it was years ago. I don't think they got fined anyway, WWE just said that to back up their claim that they don't allow it anymore. You really think a guy like HHH who is next in line to probably take the company and a legend to be fined by WWE? No.

it's a measly 2k hell I don't earn anywhere near these guys and I wouldn't be fussed about it either

At the start of the year I wasn't interested in seeing these two wrestle again at WrestleMania. I didn't think that they could improve on their match from last year and I don't think that HHH should go for it again since he is 0-2 against Taker at WM. Shawn Michaels as guest referee peaked my interest but still I wasn't completely sold.
Making it a Hell In A Cell match completely won me over. I never even considered them adding this stipulation so it was a complete shock when they announced it. Creates a complete different dimension and they have a great chance of creating a real WrestleMania moment. They are veterans of the match and will hopefully be able to take it to another level. I really want them to fight on top of the cell this time, it hasn't been done for many years and so would be great to see them finally do it again. I am pretty confident that one if not both of them will bleed in this match, we don't see it often but I don't see these two being worried about being fined for it.


Hopefully this match will surprise people and actually be decent since most have been shitting all over it since Taker's return. Probably rightfully so.
I think there should be a vBookie on whether or not their first Mania encounter will ever get mentioned in the next 6 weeks. It didn't last year, but who knows. Maybe one day Triple H will come out and be like,
"I JUST REMEMBERED! THERE WAS ONE OTHER TIME WE WRESTLED AT MANIA! SURPRISE, DEADMAN! OOOOOooooo I'M IN YOUR HEAD NOW, HUH?"
"TRIPLE H, AFTER WRESTLEMANIA YOUR NAME WILL BE TRIPLE L!"

I would MTFO if Trips bladed during this match.


I expect both guys to blade.
Trips will probably want to work freely and use blood, weapons, etc.


I honestly want to see one last run of The American Badass but there's been talks on other forums of a hybrid style of Taker showing up at Mania. Your thoughts?
Also I don't think the streak will ever be broken. It's going to be one hell of a match, and I can't wait to see it. I just think for both men this will be their last match.

Not sure about a hybrid style of Taker, to me it just seems like it will be a bald Deadman.
I don't think that the streak should be broken either but if it does then the only choice is Cena. I don't think that this is either guys last match, I can see them going away for quite some guy but both will return for another match down the line.


No way they end the streak at 19, no secret HHH wants to step away from the ring.. I think with how often Trips brings up "ending it" in his promos, that they'll take it the other way and have Taker "end" him, this time HHH out on a stretcher with Taker standing in the ring. And I agree, the streak ends next year with Cena, perfect way for Taker to go out and to secure Cena's spot among the best of all time
