After the intro when they announced the card for the night I turned it off. Too predictable. And yeah, Orton is retaining.

The Cesaro vs Cena match was fantastic, in spite of lolcenawins.
Except for Christian jobbing it out to him, Orton has been made to look pretty weak overall leading into the PPV, so he's likely retaining.
There will be no swerve, Orton will retain. Hell, he's probably going to be in the last pod to be released.
edit: PTP are actually getting a slot on the PPV... more interested in seeing how Titus fares in a PPV singles setup than the predictable EC match.
It's funny, in Cena matches like this or with DB, he actually does "new" things. So, for me, it's not like the guy isn't talented or doesn't deserve some of his accolades, but if people are hating on his matches, it almost justifies a look at the other guy to see if he might be holding back.
Cesaro is a great talent. Him losing to Santino when he was US champ was so terrible. And then when he has to act as if he can't handle the other opponent. I feel Swagger somewhat has to do the same. Cena isn't as bad this year as he has been for the last few years and he has had some really great matches of late. I think it's the show(creative) that's the problem. It's just too damn predictable. As soon as you hear Cole say something about how dominate a guy is you know he's going to get some spotlight. Or when they were saying how Christian was so aggressive. Too obvious he'd lose. If Orton went 3-2 or 2-3 it would make the EC match more fun, but we all know what will happen. I'm looking forward to it because we're having friends over to watch and that's always a good time when you have friends, drinks, and Cena to make fun of. EVERYONE TAKE A DRINK WHEN COLE SAYS VINTAGE.
King Mabel/Viscera/Bid Daddy V passed away last night. RIP big guy.
That sucks to hear. I was a fan of his Viscera gimmick during the ministry of darkness/corporate ministry days.
Supposedly after that Cena/Cesaro match Vince was finally convinced of Cesaro's main event potential. About damn time.
Its funny how the world of wrestling is always doomed to repeat itself. I think just 4 years ago I read something about how Shawn Michaels was brought into a meeting where all the execs were burying the shit out of Punk, saying they didnt like his style, attitude, etc etc, and Michaels was like "Why not work with him to improve him? Myself, Taker, Hunter, were not going to be around forever". And now instead of Michaels, Taker, Hunter, its Orton and Cena.
Hulk Hogan is gonna host WM 30.
Hogan hosting WM is a good role for him, and I'm sure he'll get the crowd jacked. I just hope that is the extent of his role and he doesn't attempt anything physical, because then it will just get sad.
Also, try not to yell out "TOASTY~!" after all of these. I dare you.
Pretty sure he isn't cleared to do anything physical.
http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/21/showbi...html?hpt=hp_t3The best-known name in pro-wrestling history is returning to WWE: Hulk Hogan is coming back to serve as a host for the company's various programs.
"Words cannot express how excited I am to be back in the WWE family," Hogan said in a statement. "I only have one question for the WWE Universe: whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild as the host of 'WrestleMania 30'?"
Added WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon: "It's fitting to have him help us celebrate 30 years of WrestleMania and usher in a new era with the launch of WWE Network."
Hogan will make his first WWE in seven years this Monday on USA Network's "Raw at 8 p.m.," and will also appear on "WWE Raw Backstage Pass," which airs live on WWE Network on Monday nights at 11:05 p.m.
Hogan's not expected to be in the ring, though we hear he will "have an impact" on the action.
Hogan became the WWE Champion in 1984 when he defeated The Iron Sheik at Madison Square Garden. He went on to win six WWE Championships, and appeared in-character in movies and TV shows.
His last WWE appearance was in 2007, where he appeared at the 15th anniversary of "Raw."

Title change at a TNA House Show:
Spoiler: show
Predictions for tonight:
Cody Rhodes & Goldust vs. Ryback & Curtis Axel (Kickoff Match)
Rybaxel will win to set up the Rhodes split. No reason for the Rhodes to lose the titles earlier otherwise.
Intercontinental Champion Big E vs. Jack Swagger
Big E.
Darren Young vs. Titus O'Neil
Titus
WWE Tag Team Champions The New Age Outlaws vs. The Usos
Outlaws due to the rumor that there will be a rematch on Raw.
The Shield vs. The Wyatt Family
Wyatts - likely due to Ambrose.
Batista vs. Alberto Del Rio
Batista obviously
WWE World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber Match
Orton vs. Cena vs. Bryan vs. Sheamus vs. Cesaro vs. Christian
Either Orton retains or Bryan wins and Orton demands his rematch at WM (triple threat). Would be awesome if Bryan or Cesaro won.
If a title changes hands in TNA, does anyone notice?
Results: (updated as they happen)
Spoiler: show
Shield vs Wyatts is already getting a "this is awesome" chant before the match even starts.
That was a hell of a match (Shield-Wyatts). There's no way the Elimination Chamber match will top it.
*snickers* And Divas match after. Way to kill the arena mood.
