There have been many rumors floating around from Bret hart or Shawn Michaels making a surprise appearance to Ulitmate Warrior interfering in the Rock vs Hogan match and Xpac interfering in Hall vs Austin match. Should Ric Flair join the NWO? Will HHH and Stephanie reunite and what happens to jericho.

The WWF needs to be big on Sunday and I have a feeling they will come through. Everytime their back is to the wall they hit a homerun. Example, the Raw after the best nitro ever, Jericho beats HHH for the title for 5 minutes before being stripped. When the NWO took over, they produced Austin vs McMahon 1. When the WCW invasion is failing miserably they do the swerve of ECW joining them. They know they suck right now and will do something to get interest back in their product.

What happened to the poison of the NWO? All they did was hit Austin with a plaster brick and hit Rock in the ambulance with the tractor trailer. HHH did much worse when he was a heel.

RVD should win the IC belt and for comedy Pete Rose needs to come back and interfere in the Kane vs Angle match. I think the Dudleyz should win the tag belts.

I think that the WWf really needs to step up and give us good quality matches on sunday...that could be enough to keep people interested. don't give rvd v regal 5 minutes...make christian and ddp a solid match...and please please please, don't put rock v hogan on last, i would rather watch the womens 3way as the final match than that crap!! the tag match should be good, just don't give us the hardys and dudleys as the last 2 teams standing...why not keep the belts on billy and chucky for a while, its not like they are horrible, and can be a pretty good team.
Keep stephanie off of tv, keep the belt on jericho and let a returning shawn michaels help hhh to lose the match...yep, that should keep interest for a while at least

HBK is not coming back, word has it he and Triple H had a falling out and HBK will no longer be involved in any angle. Personally I wish that after the main event Vince would fire Steph, any other employee in any other job in the world with that kind of track record would have been fired long time ago, the Steph experiment failed, get her off tv.

The WWF needs to make this PPV somehow different than any other PPV that they normally put out. WM is called "the grandaddy of them all", so it should come off as such. And isn't it going to be a 4 hour event this year? (I remember hearing it might be) If it is, then use the time wisely, make it an event, and keep the performances to one song a piece.

Also...

I agree 110%!! Pete Rose never gets old (at WM).

I just have this funny feeling that they convinced Bret Hart to show up.

Look at my reasons:
1)1wrestling saying that Bret hart was offered to ref and of course he turneed it down. See Jerry lawler and Kevin Nash as examples of this.
2)Bret hart no longer commissioner of the WWA
3)Jim Ross writing about Bret hart in his Ross report telling him he needs to let the Montreal incident go.
4)Wrestlemania is in Canada.
5)WWF needs something so shocking that there will be major interest in thier product.

What better way than Bret Hart coming back during the Hogan and Rock match and costing the Rock the match and joining the NWO on Monday Night Raw.

I know it is so farfetched of him coming back but hey why not. Just a prediction that's all. Everyone can laugh at me if he does not show up on Sunday.

It would have to be a 4 hour event then. An extra hour of wrestling would've been great, but fuckin' music? This merging of the WWF/MTV shit needs to stop.

Okay, maybe I'm nuts, but that alot less then I even expected. 5 songs is a half hour top, not a hour, unless there's extended versions of Bodies and Click Click Boom that we don't know about.

Obviously they will perform the following:
Drowning Pool-Bodies
Drowning Pool-Sinner
Drowning Pool-Tear Away
Saliva-Click Click Boom
Saliva-Superstar

All theme songs of PPVs over the last six or seven months.

I think that what the WWF needs is either a huge heel turn by one of the top faces like Flair, or bringing back an old superstar, like HBK. If they reform DX it will be huge both ways, with the nWo or not. But it won't last just like how the nWo sparked the interest of the fans for a while, but it's already died down. I think the split will solve our problems for a while, especially now that they might bring in Rey Jr., D'Lo, Benoit, and it might give guys like Mr. Perfect & Lance Storm to have more TV time. We need people that can actually wrestle on the TV screens.

Rock-n-wrestling...cartoonish product...Hulk Hogan in a possible main event...wow, McMahon IS a genius: he's managed to fuck with the space-time continuum and warp us back to 1985!

I honestly can't think of anything that can occur at WM that would make me feel any better about the current goings-on with the WWF. It's going to take a long, several-step process to turn things around, beginning with step 1: pry the booking sheet out of Steph's hands and give it to someone who has a fucking clue.

1. Let Christian and DDP steal the show, and wrestle for at least 15-20 minutes.
2. End the Tag match in 5 minutes, and the Women's match and the RVD-Regal Match end in 3 minutes, with Lita and RVD winning, respectfully.
3. Have Bret Hart come back during the World Title match, or the Hogan match.
4. Have Steiner come back in the World Title match if Bret Hart does not.
5. Have the loser of the Flair-UT match retire for good.
6. Get rid of the concerts, only allow 1 SONG and thats it!!
7. Let Austin beat Hall, but have Nash beat his ass, so it will technically mean Austin beat 1 NWO member, and has 2 to go.
8. Let Booker T beat Edge, please. Edge doesnt deserve this type of push.
9. Have Angle un-mask Kane and destroy him.
10. Have Maven win the Hardcore match, will help out with the casual fan watching more (when i say casual, i dont mean it like the usual definition, i mean it by the fan who only watches Tough Enough)

Since I haven't heard/read this anywhere else, it would be nice if you actually mentioned where you heard this. Was it the WM commercial everyone is playing? Because if it is, you are fucking retarded. The line is "Featuring LIVE performances by Drowning Pool and Saliva!" not FIVE! I hope for your sake you heard it somewhere else and I'm the fucking retard for jumping to conclusions, cuz that would be funnily retarded if you actually got live confused with five on a godamn radio commercial. Knowing the guys here on this board, I doubt anyone would make retard jokes about you (or me for that matter) after such a mistake that had people seemingly having heart attacks on this thread.

My guess is that they are just going to have Drowning Pool do HHH's theme song when he comes out (they do a new version of "I am the Game" in the new rock WWF CD "Forceable Entry" coming out) and Saliva will do whoever they do a song of in that same CD (I forgot who, but I think it might be Jericho? Perhaps dueling band entrances during the title match? That'd actualy be pretty fucking sweet.)

It would be JUST like Motorhead last year at Mania, and it would TAKE ZERO TIME FROM WRESTLING since it is just entrance music and there WOULD be 4 HOURS of WRESTLING. So, calm the fuck down already til the show starts and then if they DO have "five" performances, then complain. Jesus.

damn i hope your right about that diamond dust..i dont understand why they would have performances in the middle of their show, let alone five. having them perform for wrestlers' entrances would be fine, or even perform a song as the ppv hits the air to start things off.
