Hall of Fame Confirmation

Sexual Abuse

Former TNA star Simon Diamond has filed a lawsuit against a priest that molested him when he was younger.

WM25 Announce Team

WWE is changing up their announce team format for Wrestlemania 25.

In the past, the company has utilized the announcing tandem from all three brands, with each calling the matches from their respective brands.

However, the company has decided to go a different route this year.

Wrestlemania 25 will feature a 3 man announce team that will call every single match on the show. Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, and Michael Cole will get the honor of calling matches at the big event on Sunday.

Cor Von Returning

In a recent interview with Michigan Live, Marcus Cor Von has revealed that he is currently in negotiations with WWE to make a return.

The following is what he had to say.

Spoiler:

Calling Up Angela Fong

WWE is trying to bring up developmental wrestler Angela Fong from FCW to manage Cryme Tyme.

Batista Owes Huge Money

Batista owes the government some money.

Approximately $1.6 million ($1,593,862 to be exact) in taxes are owed to the government by Demon Wrestling, Inc. The Virginia based company is owned by Batista.

Jonathan Meisner, an employee of Demon Wrestling Inc, has stated that the company does not dispute the fact that they do owe some money. They're just working with a tax specialist right now to determine the actual amount of money that is owed to the government.

No official reasons were given as to why Demon Wrestling Inc has been unable to pay the taxes that the company owes.

MITB Chances

Money in the Bank isn't just a typical ladder match.
Not only does it involve 8 wrestlers. It also involves a shot at the highly coveted briefcase that enables a wrestler to challenge (at any time of his choice) for any title that he chooses.
The Raw brand is being represented by CM Punk, Kofi Kingston and Kane. ECW is being represented by Mark Henry, Christian, and Finlay. Smackdown is sending Shelton Benjamin and MVP into the Money in the Bank match.
Each have their own chances at winning the match (and a push). Let's take a look at each wrestler.

Christian
Chances: Great
Christian's return to WWE has been lackluster thus far. The excuse that is being given is that the company was forced to change things up once the original plans were leaked to the internet. If WWE wanted to make it up to Christian and capitalize on his popularity, then having him win the Money in the Bank would be a good start. It would also silence all the people who are upset with WWE for not viewing him as a main event wrestler.

CM Punk
Chances: Good
CM Punk has won the Money in the Bank match before, so it's not entirely impossible to imagine him winning it again. Management really dropped the ball on his push after he won the World Heavyweight Championship. Having him winning the match again would be a good way to help him regain momentum.

MVP
Chances: Good
MVP has spent the last year losing every single amount of momentum that he had built up. WWE has shown signs that they want to start pushing him again. If they're really serious about pushing him into the main event, then the Money in the Bank match would be the start of that push.

Kane
Chances: Moderate
With Kane coming close to the end of his career, it would be nice to see him get one last main event push. That would be the only reason why WWE would allow Kane to win the Money in the Bank match. However, it's highly unlikely that WWE will go this route.

Kofi Kingston
Chances: Moderate
Kofi Kingston would be an interesting choice as the winner of the Money in the Bank match. If WWE really wanted to swerve fans, then this is the route that they're going to go with. However, they might be a bit more conservative. This is a good chance for Kofi Kingston to have a memorable moment, though.

Finlay
Chances: Poor
Finlay doesn't have much of a chance of winning this thing. He's only being placed in the match as a reward for his hard work. He's a good in-ring worker, and he can provide leadership and guidance in the match.

Shelton Benjamin
Chances: Poor
Shelton Benjamin has been in all but one of the Money in the Bank matches. He really doesn't have much of a chance of winning. WWE only puts him in there in hopes that he pulls off a high spot.

Mark Henry
Chances: Poor
A lot of fans were pretty puzzled and disappointed when Mark Henry was entered into the Money in the Bank. More people are going to be disappointed if he does win the match. It doesn't seem like Mark Henry is in line for a push, so you can probably put those fears to rest.

Wrestlemania Lineup

When people think of the term "Wrestlemania 25 stream", they automatically think about the ability to watch the pay per view online for free.
However, the term "stream" is also used to described how the matches on a pay per view are lined up.
Every month, WWE spends quite a bit of time on figuring how to properly stream a show so that they can get the desired reaction from the audience.
With Wrestlemania 25 being the biggest wrestling event of the year, all eyes will be on how they stream the event.

The big dilemma for WWE is figuring out which match is going to be the main event of the show.
Vince McMahon views John Cena as his biggest star, and he would love to end the show with him holding up the World Heavyweight Championship.
The feud between between Triple H and Randy Orton over the WWE Heavyweight Championship has been red hot, and it would be hard to blame WWE for wanting to finish the show with that one.
Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker aren't fighting over a championship, but they are involved in the most anticipated match at Wrestlemania 25.
WWE can't go wrong with any of these matches in the main event.
Of course, if I was Randy Orton, Triple H, John Cena, Big Show, and Edge, I would hate to have to go do a match after Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker.
That has to be the biggest challenge of anyone's career.

WWE knows that they have to put on an exciting moment for the opening match.
Nothing against either guy, but the match between JBL and Rey Mysterio does not have enough excitement in it to get the audience going.
Normally, a divas battle royale wouldn't be able to do that either, but since there's going to be some former stars making guest appearances, that should do well to get a pop from the crowd.
An Extreme Rules match between Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy should provide enough emotion and high spots to keep everyone entertained.
The match between Chris Jericho and the legends should be interesting because of special guest appearances. The match itself can't possibly be that great.
The Money in the Bank ladder match has always been able to provide some exciting moments to get wresting fans out of their seats.
The world tag team unification lumberjack match should not be the first match on the show. As popular as John Morrison & the Miz are right now, WWE should not run the risk of putting the crowd to sleep right away.

If I was in charge, this is how I would stream Wrestlemania 25.

Jeff Hardy vs Matt Hardy
Chris Jericho vs Roddy Piper, Ricky Steamboat, and Jimmy Snuka
Divas Battle Royale
JBL vs Rey Mysterio
Money in the Bank match
Edge vs John Cena vs Big Show
Triple H vs Randy Orton
Shawn Michaels vs the Undertaker

Watch Wrestlemania 25

With only so many available spots on the Wrestlemania 25 card, it's inevitable that several wrestlers will watch Wrestlemania 25 instead of working.
Only the top talent in the eyes of Vince McMahon and the creative team get to work Wrestlemania 25.
Every year, the wrestlers work towards getting a spot at the biggest sports entertainment event of the year.
Not only do they gain momentum from working a Wrestlemania match, but they also gain a bit more in their pocket from the big Wrestlemania bonuses.
The following wrestlers will watch Wrestlemania 25 like the rest of us.

The following Raw wrestlers will miss Wrestlemania 25 this year.

Batista - An injury forces one of the biggest stars in WWE to miss the show.

Charlie Haas - Had WWE continued his impersonation gimmick, he might have had a slight chance at getting on the card.

Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase - WWE should have thrown Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase into the tag team title match.

Dolph Ziggler - He has absolutely no momentum right now. Doesn't deserve a spot.

Goldust - I think a lot of people have forgotten that he's still on the payroll.

Jim Duggan - Apparently, he's still on the payroll as well.

Jamie Noble - He doesn't have much of a chance at wrestling at Wrestlemania.

Cryme Tyme - JTG & Shad are two other guys that could have been thrown into the tag team title match.

Mike Knox - Considering how much WWE was pushing him earlier, I thought he had a chance at sneaking into the Money in the Bank match.

Sim Snuka - He's a couple of weeks away from being taken off the active roster.

William Regal - It's a damn shame that William Regal isn't involved in a match at Wrestlemania 25.

The following ECW wrestlers will miss Wrestlemania 25 this year.

DJ Gabriel - He doesn't have any momentum at all. He'll be lucky to still be on the roster by Wrestlemania 26.

Evan Bourne - WWE could have jump started Evan Bourne's momentum again by allowing him to have a spot in the Money in the Bank match.

Jack Swagger - I'm actually pretty much in shock that Jack Swagger wasn't given a spot at Wrestlemania 25. Wouldn't it have been better for him to be in the Money in the Bank match instead of Mark Henry?

Paul Burchill - Paul Burchill isn't even a candidate to get on a regular pay per view.

Ricky Ortiz - He's not deserving a spot just yet.

Tommy Dreamer - There was a point in time where it appeared that WWE was building towards a match at Wrestlemania 25 for Tommy Dreamer. Plans must have changed.

Tyson Kidd - It's too soon for Tyson Kidd to get a match at Wrestlemania.
The following Smackdown wrestlers are going to miss Wrestlemania 25.

Chavo Guerrero - He's basically just become a valet for Vickie Guerrero.

Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder - Without Edge, these guys aren't nearly as noticeable. Not sure why management didn't keep them together.

DH Smith - Since he's still down in developmental, this isn't a shocker.

Brian Kendrick & Ezekiel Jackson - If Brian Kendrick could stay out of trouble, then he would have had a shot at that Money in the Bank match.

Jesse & Festus - They haven't done much in months now. I think management has lost faith.

Hurricane Helms - Management hasn't really done too much with him since he's returned from an injury.

Jimmy Wang Yang - His new gimmick has lost a lot of steam.

Kung Fu Naki - His little gimmick was basically done to get a few cheap laughs. It's not funny any more.

Mr Kennedy - Apparently, management has decided to not use Mr Kennedy just yet. A spot in the Money in the Bank match would have been great.

R Truth - He was supposed to be in the Money in the Bank match, but management decided to go with Mark Henry instead. Lame.

Great Khali - He might just be a guy with a comedic gimmick now.

Umaga - Management must not have a lot of faith in Umaga right now.

Vladimir Kozlov - Very confused to see him not get a spot at Wrestlemania 25 after the push that they gave him throughout the last few months.

Finlay : This is pretty easy you know. First of all Chris come and get your check, you are safe. Now, Triple H you are pretty strong. Ashley, you are nothing worth of a threat. So Triple H, I need threats since I love to fight. Ashley, you are eliminated.
