I can't believe I'm saying it, but I look forward to this match. Umaga and Lashley had an awesome brawl on Raw, and just had a really cool moment with Lashley charging through the cage, destroying Umaga underneath it.
If they toss a no holds barred gimmick on there or something, we might have a pretty decent undercard match.
Thoughts?

Umaga has impressed me as a worker in recent months, Lashley has improved as well(though i'm still no fan) when it comes to not boring me. The brawl was great, the end of ECW was cool to boot so yeah i'm looking forward to it as well.

I share your sentiments, marchhaire.
Although I'm no fan of Lashley, it appears as though he's slowly improving. Umaga has been on fire since his debut, in my opinion, and these two have such similar styles that they may very well compliment each other once in the ring. I'm a little perturbed that neither the ECW or Intercontinental Championships will be defended at 'Mania, but, still. Given a No Holds Barred/No DQ-type stipulation, this could end up being one of the best matches on the card. Especially if Umaga is able to carry Lashley without making it look like too much work, as most of his other opponents fail to do (see Test, Hardcore Holly, etc.) . . .

I look foward to crowd turning on Lindsay, that's about it.

I've also been hoping for a stipulation to be added - as vacuous a personality as Lindsey is, his brawl on Monday was great, and it was his brawls with Finlay that got him over in the first place. A streetfight with UMAGA could turn out to be very entertaining.
If it remains a straight-up wrestling match I'll be far less optimistic.

Lashey was doing just fine until he got sent to ECW. Working Finlay, Regal etc was teaching him more than anything else could do. This match will be fun because two big guys whipping the piss out of each other always is.

I'm actually looking forward to a potential Kane/Great Khali match. This may be Glenn's chance to show up The Deadman . . . as not even he could carry Khali to even one entertaining match. Sure, Kane will get jobbed out . . . but I'm sure he'll put on a good showing. And speaking of Khali; did anyone else notice the slight pop he received on Monday? I mean, sure . . . it was either him, or Chris Masters . . . but, still.

I know were trying to look at the positives here, but I do not see these 2 putting on a good match without it being No DQ or something.

If it was no DQ, im sure it would be announced by now. It would be good but there would be too many stipulations:
Hair gets shaved Special referee No DQ
I dont think Vince will do it. Maybe he'll save No DQ or LMS or a Hardcore match for other superstars.
I cant really imagine Lillian announcing the match:
"The following is a Special referee, No Disqualification, Hair vs. Hair match scheduled for one fall; in which the loser of the billionaires' representative will get their head shaved ."
Bit of a mouthfull.

I think Kane/Khali will be worse then anything Taker/Khali put on. I felt that the last man standing match they had on SD was entertaining, but that was due to Taker selling well and taking a pretty big bump. Plus it could've been edited. Kane will not have a better match with Khali then Taker did. But who knows until you see it.

It's not like I declared that this match would be the best we've ever seen, or anything like that . . . but you don't have to do much to put on a better match than any between 'Taker & Khali. Their "match" at Judgment Day was fucking pathetic, and their Last Man Standing match was only made viewable through the power of post-show editing. You sure do like to assume a lot of things . . . you know that? Yes, well, the general consensus around here is that they're about equal; what with The Undertaker apparently sucking, and all that noise. But, it's whatever. I happen to think Kane is very underrated for a big man, all things considered . . . but I know that I'm probably one of the only people who do.

Kane + Mask = Marking out. And I agree. For an aging big man, Kane is one of the best.

Agreed. They would just introduce the guest ref, and probably not state the stipulation, as the hype vid, and announcers will mention it a dozen times.

Survivor Series 2003. He is the first introduced, and begins to bash the other team. It climaxes with th..Nevermind, here's the whole thing: This whole ppv is ass backwards ,the main event is on first I come through the curtains like a fetus, the rest of them are just afterbirth Nathan Jones, Matt Morgan, they dont even stand a chance. I guess uh Shane and Kane gonna have to make some room in that ambulance And A-train, Brock, they need to talk to the gravedigger I'm burying both of those giants, they need to make that grave bigger! John Cena survive alone, I dun need no frickin' stable! I wonder if I can trade in my four partners for a one night stand with Sable? Oh oh oh oh oh oh ! Oh and Big Show, don't think that I forgot about you homey! He's a giant! Well I'm a giant whistle, so go ahead and blow me

Off topic, but I love Cena's rap at WM20 against Big Show. "I'm not even facing Big Show, it's all a charade. My match is with the elephant (?) from the Macy's parade." www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNMgNhn-dgQ - Big Show/John Cena rap off heh.

I never opened my mouth.
Well Kane probably isn't going to do it.
I know
Which is what I said. But the match still had some entertaining moments that would've been there if it was live.
Really? I had no idea. They are nowhere near equal. Taker has put on WAY more quality matches then Kane has. Taker is a lot more superior in the ring then Kane is.
Well, your not the only one for I also think he is very underrated for a big man. But to say he is equal with Taker, no fucking way.
