I thought about that too. Don't know if (a) he would probably have wanted a bigger name than the Anvil to induct him and (b) isn't Anvil seperated or divorced from his sister now or something. Maybe they are not close anymore

I think they are just having Austin and Hogan inducting people to get more interest and/or to get people to watch the show on USA. WWE probably doesn't even realize that Austin/Bret fought in Chicago at a previous Mania.

Like a few people, I'm more interested in the HoF ceremony than Mania at this stage

I think the match quality will be good for the most part, it's just the lack of awesome feuds that's the problem. All this shit seems soooo thrown together and just......there.

For instance, Edge/Foley will be a good match but the feud has sucked. The way we've gotten to this point was crap. The Orton/Foley feud has a lot more to it. Mick just came out of nowhere with this feud and it's just like.. ok, now what do we do?

Also, the Angle/Mysterio/Orton match will be good, but doesn't have "Main Event" build to it just yet. It doesn't have what HBK/Benoit/HHH had.

The Cena/HHH match will probably be better then the Batista/HHH match just last year, but everyone is writing it off because they are not with Cena and don't exactly want to see HHH get his ass kicked like they did with Big Dave.

The MITB II match will be good, but we haven't seen much build in that either. It doesn't help that Carlito was the one who brought it up and now isn't even involved in it. You remember Jericho and Benoit and Edge and all those guys brawling and going all out each week prior to last year's event? Yeah.. this doesn't have that yet either plus the star power might be down depending on who the SD! guys are in the match. No way Flair should be involved in this one.

I think we'll all like the matches, just won't be looking forward to them..lol.

There's four or five matches on it that could be pretty worthy HHH-Cena, Angle-Orton-Rey, Shawn-Vince, Edge-Foley, MiTB II plus it would be pretty sweet as a "couple months deal" to maybe see Hardy Boyz reunite against M-N-M if this was at all possible.

The rest is quite lame, and even most of those above haven't been booked very well as yet. Still three Raw's and four S'Downs (I think) to go plus a SNME as well so there is hope that it could get better.

I will also be watching the Carlito/Masters vs. Show/Kane match closely. I'm not saying it'll be a show stealer but I love the interaction between the two young stars and I can't wait for their feud to come to fruition. Winning the tag straps could be part 1 of the slow build I want to see heading into SummerSlam.
