THE ROCK AND JOHN CENA TO GET PHYSICAL
With the tension building between Rock and John Cena each week on Raw, it seems like just a matter of time before one strikes a blow against the other. It turns out that could happen before WrestleMania, like the go-home show of Raw, according to a report in the Wrestling Observer.
Question on Everybody's Mind: Is this a good idea?
Our Take: No! This tension between these two is as intense as anything WWE has done in years. It makes the anticipation for that match even greater, why lessen some of that by having them touch each other?
Hype Meter: 5 out of 5 WrestleMania Mistakes
Perhaps there is a way to have Rock and Cena touch before WrestleMania to make the match bigger, but it just doesn't seem like a good idea right now. There are two weeks before the go-home show, so we will see where it goes.

ULTIMATE WARRIOR BURIES HULK HOGAN...AGAIN
Far more entertaining than any feud going on in WWE is the social media war that takes place between Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior. The latest verbal barrage came courtesy of the latter, when he attacked Hogan for the sex tape that was shopped around earlier this week.
"HH sex tape? Don't need more boring proof Terry is impotent with tiny, shriveled-up balls. And finding out he's lesbian is 2 much 4 even me.
— The Ultimate Warrior (@UltimateWarrior) March 8, 2012"
Question on Everybody's Mind: How many times will Warrior reference this incident?
Our Take: Warrior loves to get hold of a weakness or something he can exploit for the rest of his life, so as long as he is breathing he will find a way to make sure to talk about this. We will be here to laugh and talk about the insanity of it all.
Hype Meter: 5 out of 5 Warrior Rants
While the tweet is nice, we should still be waiting for the YouTube video where he goes on a 30-minute rant about Hogan's sex tape and why it proves that Warrior was a bigger star than Hogan could hope to be.

EDGE IS NOT GOING TO BE THE NEXT ROCK
Now that Edge's WWE career is over, it would seem like the movies would be a natural transition for him. That would be the case for most people, and he is getting ready to star in the next blockbuster released by Vince McMahon, but Edge said in an interview recently that he doesn't want that.
Question on Everybody's Mind: Why does Edge hate Rock?
Our Take: Give credit to Edge, at least he said that he gives respect to Rock for acting full-time. Of course, if Edge were still wrestling, he would end up burying Rock for some mundane reason that makes him look petty.
Hype Meter: 3 out of 5 Burning Tables
Unlike most WWE stars who try to act, it would be nice to see Edge try to immerse himself in it. He has a ton of charisma and a great presence that could make him a viable star. He wouldn't be a big star like Rock, but he can be a solid player in Hollywood.

BATMAN JOINS THE LEGENDS HOUSE
While there is still no definitive word on where the WWE Legends House television show will air, it did get a whole lot better after Adam West posted a picture of himself doing a guest appearance in the house with the former WWE stars.
Question on Everybody's Mind: Who would win a fight: Batman or Roddy Piper?
Our Take: Even though Batman has ridiculous detective skills that no one can match, Piper is legitimately insane. He would wait for Batman to attack before side-stepping him, then slapping on a sleeper hold.
Hype Meter: 5 out of 5 Adam West Jokes
It is only fitting that Adam West makes an appearance on this show, because he has been all over the place lately. He is the funniest part of the wildly overrated Family Guy, so who better to class this show up than the Mayor of Quahog.
