WM24 Speculations Continue


WWE Legend Hulk Hogan has recently said he wouldn't mind another Flair vs. Hogan match, maybe even at Wrestlemania 24. It would make sense from the standpoint of Hogan wanting to promote his new wrestling organization. It wouldn't make much sense for Flair, because if he loses the match his career ends. The match can't really end in a tie either, because that wouldn't accomplish anything for Flair or Hogan. It wouldn't be smart for Flair to be inducted into the Hall of Fame one night, only to lose his career to Hogan the next. I guess Hogan can talk and the rumors will continue...He may even be doing this for publicity's sake.

The Big Show vs. Mayweather idea still isn't the best, but it looks like Rey Mysterio is going to get surgery for a recent injury, so he is unable to wrestle at WM24. It looks like WWE also tried to get boxer Oscar De La Hoya involved, but he said no. So how about a Batista vs. Big Show match? Batista doesn't seem to have anything going on, but Big Daddy V and Mark Henry will probably be available for matches. If he doesn't get into Money in the Bank, maybe we see Batista thrown into a handicap match at WM24.

After Raw it also looks like we may have a JBL vs. Finlay match at Wrestlemania. Vince vs. Finlay would have made more sense, but maybe Vince is realizing his age factor and how he might really hurt himself in a match. I'm now expecting WWE to push Hornswoggle as seriously hurt, yet he will return to give JBL a crotch shot so Finlay can win the big match.

The big mystery that lingers is which guys will be left out of Wrestemania matches. You can only put 6 wrestlers in the Money in the Bank ladder match, and we already have Mr. Kennedy and Jeff Hardy. You'll have to figure at least 2 from Smackdown will qualify and maybe another from Raw. Add in an ECW star for good measure such as Shelton or Punk. But even after that, you are probably looking at names like Kane, MVP, Matt Hardy, Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, maybe even Batista who might need matches. These names are fan favorites and top performers who make the Pay Per Views, so it will be very interesting to see if everyone is used for the big event.
