Kinda Spoiler on Jericho's role at Mania

[Evil Austin]

It's being reported that plans for Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania are still being worked on every day, and at this point Vince McMahon is keeping everything a very big secret as he does not want the ever changing plans to leak onto the internet as several other big angles have in the recent past.

At this point, one of the latest ideas creative has been working with will see Jericho face a number of WWE Legends, including names like Roddy Piper, Jimmy Snuka, Ricky Steamboat, and the match will culminate with actor Mickey Rourke making an appearance to assist the legends with some kind of knockout punch.

There has also been talk of having Jericho face just one wrestler, and have the other WWE Legends sitting at ringside and eventually all help the one Legend defeat Jericho. We reported several days ago that former WWE stars Honky Tonk Man and Greg "The Hammer" Valentine will be in attendance for the PPV, so most likely they would be amongst the Legends sitting at ringside for the Jericho bout.

Jericho vs A legend will suck. It just will.

Bret Hart


A man can dream

 

[THE Brian Kendrick's Biceps]

Hart's not legally allowed to wrestle. If he does he'll be done for a lot of money.

 

[Kizza]

If he does, Jericho should kick him right in the head.

TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY~!!

 

[Great One]

Fuck that, I want Austin.

Seriously...Jericho berating any of these guys on RAW is fine. But I seriously can't see him having a Wrestlemania worthy match with any of these guys. I really think they made a big mistake doing this with Jericho for something as big as Mania.

 

[Great One]

If Austin doesn't show up, or is at least hinted at tonight, I'm gonna rage.

 

[noumenon]

There's what...not even a month till Mania. Jericho has been starting shit with people for over a month now and none of them have carried over into an actual storyline.
I can picture Mania...it's going to be like the scene from Clockwork Orange where the old bums beat Alex down. BTW...if someone could make me a gif sig of that with Jericho head imposed on there...I would love you forever..lol

IMO 'E have defo dug themselves a hole on this one...

As good as Jericho's playing his role, I'm losing interest FAST.


The idea of Snuka, Piper, Honky, Hammer or even Steamboat or Flair to a greater or lesser extent grinding out and being carried through a match at such a huge event doesn't bare thinking about.

Not that either is an appealing prospect to me, but it's Austin or Hogan or bust at this point (and if reports are to believed, neither is fit and capable)...

 

[Great One]

As Soulpower pointed out in the SB, Raw is in Texas tonight and it's 3/16...

 

[Evil Austin]

People bring up a good point - The E' have really got themselves stuck against the wall in this one and with what two or three weeks left (I think could be a bit more but approx that.) There is nothing or no storyline even starting for him at any time in the near future.

Though I have my fingers crossed at Austin - Austin has been asking for one last match for months now I think since before Cyber Sunday being the special guest referee he said that Texas at WM he wants one last match in his home town.

Tonight would be the only chance to start the fued if Jeirhoc is talking insulting the crowd and Austin comes down and they have a confrontation. I mean it is in Texas and the date is 3.16 everything is set perfectly for it - but it's up to the WWE if it happens. I bet though there will be tons of Austin chants and 3.16 signs around the crowd throughout the night.

 

[noumenon]

^Yeah, looks perfect. I really think I would have preferred him to be feuding with Austin all the while instead of just starting the feud now, 3 weeks out from Mania.

 

[PatrckO]

What an embarrassment this match is going to be. Flair is in the best shape out of the 4 and he is not even in the match. Piper can barely walk, Snuka looks horrible. Steamboat might be ok, but he was even slow on RAW.

I am very disappointed that Austin isn't going to be facing him.

 

[noumenon]

Worst....mania....match....ever.
