With WrestleMania XXX only five months away, WWE officials are working on the card for the pay-per-view event. However, much of the card will hinge on whether agreements with inactive individuals can be made, such as former World Heavyweight Champions Goldberg and Sting. Here is the proposed card for the event.
* A match pitting Triple H against "Stone Cold" Steve Austin for control of WWE, with Austin representing Vince McMahon, is not expected to occur.
* WWE officials want to secure Sting, whose contract with TNA Wrestling is set to expire, for the event and have him face The Undertaker. The fallback plan is Undertaker facing Brock Lesnar as originally scheduled.
* WWE officials are very interested in securing Goldberg for the show and having him face Ryback. If a deal falls through, Ryback will instead face Big Show. However, if WWE is able to secure Goldberg, Ryback will then face Big Show at Elimination Chamber.
* CM Punk facing Randy Orton is currently planned for the event. Punk had been planned to win the 30-Man Royal Rumble to receive the accompanying World Title shot, but current talk has the winner facing the holder of the World Heavyweight Championship.
* While Shawn Michaels has denied the possibility of wrestling again, there are people within WWE who wholeheartedly believe that he will face Daniel Bryan on the show.
* Goldust is scheduled to turn on Cody Rhodes, leading to the match both have requested for years. Company officials are pleased with Goldust's work since returning to the promotion a few weeks ago: he's exceeded all expectations.
Meanwhile, the ongoing Triple H vs. Big Show feud will not culminate at the event. A match between both individuals is scheduled to occur between December and February at Elimination Chamber.
Highlight above
Not the most believable card but thought it would be good for a discussion

Punk winning the Rumble is the only thing that seems possible.
Big Show and Ryback? What a dud!
I'd rather see Taker v Lesnar over Cena, but I'm still pulling for Sting.
HBk and Bryan could either be really good or really bad. Their styles are too similar.
I'd love seeing Goldberg, but like I said, nothing here seems likely.

I've watched his whole career & I can honestly say... I've never been more impressed with Goldust/Dustin Rhodes more than I am now. Dude is on top of his game. Hopefully we do get a Goldust/Cody match at Mania and I wouldn't be surprised to see it steal the show.
The rest sounds decent. I wanted Ryback/Show last year, but I guess better late than never. Ryback would need to win though.

Most of it sounds standard, I'd watch it though. Sting and Goldberg, whoever they face, will be awesome to see regardless.
Bryan/HBK is the only thing I would absolutely love there though which is the least likely to happen aha.

I really wish everyone would drop the Undertaker vs. Sting idea.
The time for that match is way past its prime.

Honest to God, I'll get up out of my seat & use Goldberg's match for my piss break. How can you say you wouldnt mark if you heard those gongs hit and then Goldberg chants start and his music play, would be  ing amazing. The match might suck, but i'd want it just to see him enter one more time. I think Goldberg would win tbh if they ever had the match but, i dunno. Lesnar vs taker, sure, i'd be up for seeing it but i duno if im ok with lesnar ending it so.. Basically im not a massive fan of bringing all these old people back to make the show. Sometime soon, we need to use the new product to make it good. Sure, it would be awesome seeing goldberg, michaels, sting, etc etc but, we sooner or later need to stack the card with the current roster so that we can see these guys as the main guys that make the ppv's fun, otherwise if we dont start doing that soon, we'll always be expecting the goldbergs, brock lesnars, Stings, Stone Cold, The rock etc etc to come back, which we cant do forever. But since it WMXXX i suppose its acceptable, i just think maybe for WM XXXI i would like to see the current roster stack the card, not past wrestlers. |

I really want to see Taker/Sting, I don't care if they're old I still want it.
Have ZERO desire to see Stone Cold vs Triple H for the 60 billionth time. I'd love to see Austin/Cena though.
Unless Goldberg squashes Ryback in 5 seconds I don't want to see it.
I don't want to see Orton vs. Punk, Orton sucks.
Shawn/Bryan would be interesting. I'm surprised they wouldn't do HHH/Shawn.
Been wanting to see Goldy vs Cody for some time now.
I wonder where that leaves Hogan, Rock and Jericho if they're going to have matches.

More Dirtsheet BS Reporting.
of course now they are saying
- According to a new report, Vince McMahon's return to TV has always been planned for January of 2014. There have been numerous reports claiming McMahon would return to TV over the last several months. Initially, there was talk that McMahon would return to TV on the Raw after SummerSlam and then again after Night of Champions. There were more rumors that he would return post-Hell in a Cell last month. Other reports claimed it was "definitely" going to happen after the Survivor Series this month.
The plan was apparently to always bring him back to TV in January 2014 to prepare for WrestleMania. However, with the ratings going down since the summer, there was talk of needing to bring him back sooner to compensate. John Cena's recovery reportedly helped push McMahon's return back for the time being. Two potential dates for McMahon to return in January 2014 would be January 6, the first Raw of the new year, or January 27, which is the night after the Royal Rumble. (Credit: The Wrestling Observer via Wrestlezone.com)
This is all they do, Make up stories, see what sticks, and keep saying "Plans Changed" and before anyone tries to defend them by saying. "They knew Ohno was released" Beleive it or not The Bookers of PWS and PWG were the ones that started letting people know. Hero Contacted both Promotions saying he was 100% free to be booked as Chris Hero. Which started the speculation. then Melzter and his friends jumped on the bandwagon.
here is a fact that a lot of people dont know. next time you talk to a WWE or TNA superstar while getting an autograph, ask them why the WWE has a Restraining order against DAVE MELTZER

Seriously though, Punk should be taking on Austin.

Seriously though, Punk should be taking on Austin. I know this forum is CM Punk country, but there is NO WAY that Austin should have his first match in over a decade with the #2 (at best) guy in the company. Austin vs. Cena is the only logical answer. That's what'll make WWE the most money. |

Figure sets released. Twitter wars waged. It's the only match people want. Nobody wants Austin vs Cena. Cena had Rock. Thats Number 1 vs Number 1. Let Punk have Austin. |

I fully agree about wanting Austin vs. Punk.
Cena has had his chance to have the glory the past two years in a row against The Rock. We don't NEED Cena vs. Austin too.
Plus people have been begging for Austin vs. Punk for years now and not just on this board.
Cena vs. Undertaker is really the one big match we haven't seen and makes the most logical sense all around. It is also the only Cena match that would interest me in any way at this point.

I'd rather see Viper vs Rattlesnake than see CM Punk vs Steve Austin.
Cena vs Undertaker would be a huge match. In their video packages it could show Taker shaking Cena's hand after his debut.

I'm not saying that Punk vs. Austin shouldn't happen. But Cena is the guy. Austin was the guy. It's only logical to put them together before anyone else. You wouldn't have brought Hogan back in 02 and not put him with Austin or Rock first (who were both on the same level at the time). It'd be like having Hogan return after all that time just to face Triple H. |

WWE fans these days (especially the kids) have never seen a Goldberg match. They chant along because they're smarks and think they know everything there is to know about wrestling. But In Reality they started watching in 06. Goldberg coming back is not that big of a deal. No one was " marking the out jumping around " when he arrived in WWE, hell he was barely even still over by wcw 2000 . The ONLY reason whatsoever they they would want him back, is due to the overwhelming responses that Ryback gets. They see him as similar to Goldberg and hear all the fans (as I said the smarks who have never even watched a Goldberg match) chanting his name 10 years after stepping foot in a ring last. WWE takes that as "oh people still remember him that's potential money" Before Ryback, did anyone give a rats ass about Goldberg? No. He didn't even cross anyone's mind since he fell into irrelevancy in 2004 until Ryback showed up. If Goldberg does indeed get the HONOR of getting a call by wwe for one more match. He better be god damn humbled and willing to put Ryback over. Because without him, Goldberg would still be an after thought. |
