I worry about Bret v Vince being a stinker, and it will be how most of the WWE fans will remember Bret, as they are only about 12.

I agree, this is the only thing many young fans will remember Bret for and its so, so sad. He really was one of the greats, and this stupid humiliation feud is really damaging the company, and the reputations of its performers.

Think the Vince/Bret match will be an epic fail, can't see it being anything exciting. The Undertaker vs Shawn Micheals match will be interesting but we all know who's going to win, i don't think they could possibly top last year's match, but nonetheless it should be good! The rest of the matches on the card im not really interested in or looking forward to, there highly predictable and they will drag them out to long and it will become boring...

who do you think will win the Taker vs HBK match? I'm thinking that they wouldn't add a career ending stipulation if it wasn't Michaels to lose.

Undertaker of course.
Don't think they would let the 'streak' end in this way. Personally i think Undertaker has a few good years left in the business, where as Shawn as been in the industry a hell of a long time, he is getting very old now and more injury prone. Im 100% sure Shawn Micheals will retire at Wrestlemania.

yes thats what I was thinking too. I just cannot see them letting the Undertaker's undefeated record go, its just too valuable. It just seems to fit that Michaels will retire, so hence the career ending stipulation. Usually when these stipulations are added, they come to pass at the end. Undertaker is my absolute fave (hence my nickname!!) and I reckon he could go on for a few more years yet too, providing he takes regular rest periods to allow time for the recovery from the wear and tear.

the no dq, only win by submission or pinfall could open the door for Undertaker to win with the Hell's Gate submission hold...

I hope no-one interferes, in my opinion it would ruin a great spectacle

Couple of notes about what I've read on news sites.

- Micheals is not listed for any dates right after Wrestlemania, so it could be that his career finishes here at least for the time being.

- With there being a MITB PPV in a couple of months time, WM26 might be the time when the winner of the MITB cashes it in that night.

On the MITB match, I am not a fan of it being 10 man, 6 or 7 for me not even eight. I just think there is too many bodies around and then we get to the stage where everyone has to take out the whole field or half of it to try and look worthy or whatever in the match. Don't see why they couldn't of just had 6 and then a Double title, two pinfall fatal-4-way or something like that with the IC and US titles in play. Obviously for that to happen The Miz would have to drop the US title which could of easily worked into the storylines of Morrison/Truth vs. ShowMiz and the new champion's title defence at Mania.

I remember Bret for his time years ago and to me, I haven't set any expections of this match and see it more of an angle on the show than anything.

On a WM27 note, Goldberg may be going in the Hall Of Fame then. Makes sense since its in Atlanta and they are running out of bigger names.

Anyways after this match, both taker and hbk are set for time off.

Like you, I've a feeling Triple H is going to interfere in this match, and I reckon it will be against Shawn Michaels.

Anyone know if there's gonna be a women's championship / divas championship match? I don't think they show enough divas matches at the pay per views.

I can see them throwing a match in somewhere, maybe if they have 10mins spare or on the pre-show match. It's a 4 hour show, they need a 'nothing special' match for people to go the toilet lol

okay this is the full lineup for wrestlemania 26

wwe championship
batista vs john cena

world heavyweight championship
chris jericho vs edge

the streak vs career
undertaker vs shawn michaels

no holds barred match
bret hart vs vince mcmahon

triple h vs sheamus

triple threat match
randy orton vs cody rhodes vs ted dibiase

street fight match
rey mysterio vs c m punk

wwe tag team championship
big show and the miz vs john morrison and r-truth

money in the bank ladder match
christian vs dolph ziggler vs kane vs shelton benjamin vs jack swagger vs mvp vs matt hardy vs evan bourne vs drew mcintyre vs kofi kingston

there will probably be a divas match too but who cares about that, you'll all be probably taking a piss during the match anyway.

anyway that's the complete lineup for this year's wrestlemania. any predicitions?

Batista
Edge
Taker
Bret Hart
Sheamus
Dibiase
Mysterio probably
Morrison + Truth, to get them on Raw too I guess.
MITB is hard to predict, I'll go with Ziggler.
