While the clip of Bill Goldberg pinning Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XX was largely aired this past week on RAW to put over tomorrow night's special guest host, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, WWE has indeed been in talks with the former wrestling megastar regarding a relationship renewal.

WWE officials recognize he's not going to come back and wrestle, but they're hopeful of reaching a deal where they can use his likeness in video games and perhaps an induction into next week year's Hall of Fame class considering they are running low on "main eventers."

Next year's Hall of Fame class is expected to have a WCW theme considering that it will be taking place in Atlanta, Georgia.

It'll be great if Lesnar returns to WWE!

he's certainly moved on, he's doing well in UFC there's no reason for him to return plus I think he's not on good terms with VKM

Well WWE's offers are seductive. He can earn much more here plus fame.

he made his money in WWE (private jets is a prime example of that) he wanted to do some real fighting and this what he is doing, he has alot more to achieve in MMA before he even considers that.

As rumored earlier, Ultimate Warrior apparently pulled out of this year's 2010 WWE Hall of Fame over the payday he was set to receive from WWE and the terms of the non-compete clause. Most WWE Hall of Famers get $5,000 along with a ring, although that number may be different for other bigger names. The belief is that Warrior was getting paid much more since this year was being designed to be built around him.

I would pay good money to see him accept his HoF award on TV (or PPV). The man is nuts and talks such drivel and in nonsensical ways lol Ever see that near riot he caused at that University "talk" he did a couple years ago? rofl yeah Vince, induct the Warrior so he can cause a riot at the HoF!

Tomorrow on RAW, Austin will be hosting the contract signing of Vince vs. Bret match at Mania. I think Austin will be the guest referee in that match.

[truba11a]

Here is the updated WWE WrestleMania 26 card:

* Bret Hart vs. Vince McMahon

* HHH vs. Sheamus

* CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio

* 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

* Unified Tag Team Title Match: The Miz and The Big Show ? vs. John Morrison and R-Truth

* Career vs. Streak ? Winner By Pin or Submission Only: Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker

* WWE Title Match: Batista ? vs. John Cena

* World Title Match: Chris Jericho ? vs. Edge

bret wins

sheamus wins

rey wins

hardy or drew win

showmiz win

taker wins

cena wins

y2j retains

my wretlemania picks =D

[LOC Veteran]

Bret will win, if you think otherwise you are insane lol

Sheamus will win since he's HHH's buddy and HHH doesn't mind putting him over

CM Punk will win, mainly because Punk needs the movement if he's going to be drafted to RAW or go for a world title again

Christian will win, and if not Christian then Shelton Benjamin (come on he deserves it already!)

ShowMiz will win, duh

HBK will either win by evil means, or it'll be a draw somehow

Cena will win, obviously

Most people say Edge will win, but I will go with Jericho here as Vince will want to continue this fued for a bit, until Christian is ready to cash in MITB :)

[truba11a]

punk won't win because taking off rey mask was already done in wcw like 12 years ago

[Rappy Veteran]

punk won't win because taking off rey mask was already done in wcw like 12 years ago

yeah and ruined Rey's WCW career.

[truba11a]

yeah and ruined Rey's WCW career.

yea and so punk won't win i'll be surprised if he does

[LOC Veteran]

Ah, I wasn't aware it was a "unmask" match stipulation on that one. Ok, Rey will win :D

[Mazhar]

Good RAW tonight! When Austin stopped at the ramp, I thought he would announce that he is the referee!

[LOC Veteran]

Either Vince was really selling getting nailed in the face with that cast, or he really got nailed by mistake. He looked totally dazed on the mat there at the end.

As for Austin, I was expecting him to give Bret a stunner through that entire segment lol

[Mazhar]

Well, I love the WrestleMania 26 logo:

Lack of stunners = (N)

[soldier1st]

we need more naked women wrestlers and not the fat ones but the slender ones with no bras on.

[Rappy Veteran]

well that was fail on a plate

Andy Moseley sent along the following:

Kevin Nash watched the competition's show live apparently instead of his own.

About three minutes after the show, he tweeted on his official Twitter page the following:

"is it just me or did bret just throw up a klique/ wolfpac sign? looks like klique might have to hit the ring at wrestlemania."

I also watched Raw instead of Impact. I turned over to Impact for about 2 minutes to see rvd beating on old man sting yet again

I am downloading the TNA show just for something to watch tonight after NCIS

[Rappy Veteran]

good old Nash creating controversy :rolleyes:

Stone Cold Steve Austin's performance as a guest host last night was really disappointing. He didn't do anything!. He was hardly on camera and didn't do his usual beer-drinking deal. No funny feuds with Vince. The writers were not creative at all with him. It could have been one hell of a RAW episode but it was boring as hell. Cheech and Chong did a better job than he did.

Yeah, I knew he wouldn't ever be the same Stone Cold Steve Austin that we knew and love. WWE REALLY made him soften up his performance and act to 'PG', which really ruined his character that made him so popular. It's why I didn't bother watching WWE.

[timster]

The final numbers are in for the Monday Night War, week two.

WWE RAW scored a 3.7 cable rating, up from last week's 3.4 for the show last night hosted by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.

The disappointing news was the number for TNA Impact, which came in at an 0.8, down from last week's 1.0. That was for the taped show that aired last night with Eric Bischoff being shaved bald, Jeff Hardy vs. AJ Styles, etc.

[Rappy Veteran]

TNA will always do around 1.0 for their tapings whether its live or not.
