Yeah, losing Paul Bearer right when Undertaker makes his return sucks. Lots of good memories with that guy. Undertaker and Kane's "Father". When I kept seeing people say "Rest in peace, Paul" on Twitter, I kept thinking that Paul Heyman had died!

I know, I miss his "YESSSSSSS".  Undertaker needs to come out with his urn at Wrestlemania.

Sorry to hear about Paul Bearer.

He was a very entertaining personality.

So Undertaker vs Punk for mania, I think I'm gonna start watching Raw now.

Cant wait for TNA LOCKDOWN. Going to be a lot of fun. :D

Looks like:
Rock vs. Cena
Jericho vs. Ziggler
Punk vs. Taker
Swagger vs. Del Rio
Ryback vs. Henry
Show, Sheamus, and Orton vs. The Shield
HHH vs. Lesnar

Still some big names to use and plenty of spots to fill. Not a bad card, even if there are some rematches I could do without. I mean, if you only have Lesnar for a set number of matches, why waste on against HHH? He should have been taking on Undertaker (who I don't think has ever beaten him) Rock (Who also lost to Lesnar in their only encounter), or Ryback (just to give us a match that Goldberg vs. Lesnar should have been).

I agree Lewis, those rematches shouldn't be on the card at all. Raw is going to be very boring leading up to Wrestlemania. Cena already used all his promos last year so Cena's promos are gonna be bad. Plus he lost legit so what's the point of this match again? Lesnar needs to face Taker, but I'm not sure Cena can be safe enough to wrestle Taker in the shape that Taker is in. Punk can get through the match with holds and make it look good while Taker rests in the ring until his comeback win spot. Though Lesnar needs fresh meat.

Paul Bearer was one of the best. He made both Kane and the Undertaker feel much more menacing and visceral. He brought an atmosphere that I don't think they could achieved on their own. He needs to be in the HOF soon.

As for RAW, I didn't see the last one, but it sounded horrible. Honestly, the WWE isn't doing much to interest me right now.

Actually, I've been far more interested in Joshi recently. If you've never seen Japanese female wrestling, it's NOTHING like the WWE product.  They probably hit each other harder than the WWE men hit each other.

Awesome match.  They beat the crap out of one another.  Ayumi Kurihara (in the red) is a machine and one of my favorite wrestlers, period.

http://youtu.be/cvFk1Swt7sQ?t=36m40s    Kyoko Kimura vs Io Shirai.  I can't embed with the time-skip enabled, which is lame.  Io's moonsault down the stairwell is awesome.  I could watch her all day, she's so agile and fearless.

This is a little music video for my favorite group ever--Triple Tails : Kana, Io Shirai & Mio Shirai.  They're the ones who threatened to castrate Tajiri.

I'm sure I'm probably alone in this, but does anyone else watch Joshi?

That's the good thing about Japanese wrestling, it never moved away from traditional wrestling moves.

Yeah, the guys can't even wrestle that good in WWE. Closest I've seen to that in the last 10 years was Punk vs Daniel Bryan.
