A-Train/Albert is returning just after WM too, he's the guy in the Lord Tensai vignettes. He's expected to work a programme with either Cena or Orton.

A-train
It's a shame they'll beef him up like some monster for a few PPV's over Cena then have Cena obliterate him in the 'Final Showdown'

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
Can anyone tell me if this years WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be shown on SKY Sports? I don't really watch the wrestling anymore but the Hall of Fame and The Legends of Wrestling programme that I grab each month from a wrestling torrent site are unmissable. I can't stand this PG era. I'm more a fan of wrestling nostalgia and history more than anything else.
Undertaker will lose his streak this Sunday!

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
There is no way Taker will lose to HHH. It doesn't make sense and would be bad for business. There is no reason why HHH should end the streak. It would have to be ended by someone needing to establish themselves by making a huge statement. Hunter may have a massive ego but even he can see Taker needs to retire with the streak intact.

If a bookie was taking bets (there is) how much would you put on Taker to win. Draw no bet.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
As far as I know, Hall of Fame only gets a 1 hour programme on SKY Sports, not the whole thing. Might be a streaming site where you can watch it live.
As far as I'm concerned, this year's class is rubbish. Waiting for Triple H and Undertaker to be inducted, and then I think they should scrap it as there is no-one else worthy of being classed a Hall of Famer.

WWE HoF 2012 is only on US Broadcaster NBC for an hour - AFAIK.

At 47 years old how many WrestleMania's does The Undertaker have left? If various wrestling forums are to believed the Dead Man is feeling the effects of a long career, finding himself on the shelf for long periods on an almost annual basis. Retirement after WrestleMania is a real possibility.
With it being Hell in a Cell, the match Taker helped to innovate, Shawn Michaels as guest referee, the 3rd time both Taker and HHH have met at WrestleMania and 20-0 on the line there's way too much pointing towards a Taker win. A Taker win at WrestleMania has been a gimme now for about 10 years, but never has the odds of him winning been so clearly stacked in his favour. If this is Takers swansong maybe he chose HHH as the man to finally bury him just like Flair chose Michaels and Michaels chose Taker previously.

The backlash would be pretty big too, Agree with you fully and I'd probably stop watching WWE completely as I've sort of given up with MNR.

He only wrestles once a year now. That's why he's lasted so long considering his injuries.

It's still not going to happen. It would be a disaster for business to have someone so close to their own in-ring retirement such as HHH to end the streak. It would make no sense.
This is why there will be countless near-falls, both men will get their finishers in (probably several times) and most likely each others' too. But at the end of the match, the streak will remain. If I was a gambling man I'd bet everything I have on it.

There is 2 wrestling torrent sites I'll be able to download the show from. Just a little disappointed SKY haven't picked this up.
For me personally there are still a few that deserve to be in the Hall of Fame:
Macho Man Randy Savage
Owen Hart
The Ultimate Warrior (Even though he's a bit of an ass)
The British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith
Jake The Snake Roberts
If Koko B. Ware and Hacksaw Jim duggan can get into the Hall of Fame, these guys should too. I've always wondered if the WWE would reach out and try to induct Sting. It wouldn't be the first time that someone with no connect to WWE got inducted.

I totally understand your view on this. It's maybe just really good marketing by WWE to get guys like myself to buy the PPV thinking HHH is bound to win, and I need to see it live
It's going to be an epic match. Does anyone else think Shawn will inevitably "turn" on Taker at some point in the match? I've caught some of the promos between HBK and HHH in recent weeks and feel like I've seen it all before.

While I agree with some of those, usually the reason some wrestlers you think ought to be first in line for a HoF spot aren't in there yet is due to money.
Owen will never get in as his wife won't allow it. Warrior wants Vince to bring out a DVD debunking the Self Destruction thing before he'll even consider doing anything connected with WWE.
Jake has too much substance and alcohol abuse history at the moment.
Although, some might say the one man who should be ahead of the queue of all those wears a bandana and considers himself a Real American...
