PWINSIDER Q&A: AMAZING TECHNICAL GRAPPLER AT WRESTLEMANIA, LILIAN GARCIA, BIG SHOW AND MORE

Answered on 3/13

Why doesn't WWE just let Lilian Garcia sing at Wrestlemania?  With all due respect to other artists, Lilian can blow away anyone when it comes to the national anthem.

I agree 100%.  I highly doubt anyone is forking over $55 to hear John Legend sing at Wrestlemania. WWE could save the money they are paying him, and allow Lilian to have the honor of kicking off the show.

I certainly can understand some wrestlers being upset over Floyd Mayweather coming in and taking up a spot on the Wrestlemania card, and also taking up some of the potential bonus money they could receive.  However, is there any resentment towards Big Show?  He's been gone for over a year, and now he is just walking right into a Wrestlemania spot, and a big one at that.

While I imagine there are some wrestlers who feel "Show got a spot I could have had", I haven't heard any complaints.  As we've reported in the past, most of the wrestlers see Show as "one of the boys" and don't begrudge him getting a Mania payday after his sabbatical from the ring.  Also, Big Show has certainly helped put over wrestlers in the past (John Cena and Brock Lesnar, for example) so it's not like Show takes from the business without giving back.

Why is MMA fighter Mirko "Cro Cop" called "the pro wrestling killer" on some MMA sites?  Did he beat up a professional wrestler or something?

The nickname comes from Cro Cop's wins in Japan over various pro wrestlers who have tried MMA (or MMA fighters who have tried pro wrestling) like Yuji Nagata, Josh Barnett, Dos Caras Jr., Kazuyuki Fujita and Ron Waterman.

Do you think Ric Flair will mention Chris Benoit during his acceptance speech?  He was a member of the Four Horsemen.

I highly doubt it. I would expect any Horsemen comments to be reserved for the "golden era" Horsemen of Arn, Tully Ole, Luger (okay, probably not Luger either) and Windham.

Could WWE actually be thinking of a Wrestlemania without that amazing technical grappler The Great Khali on it?

Fear not, the addition of a battle royale will now guarantee you will see that "amazing technical grappler" at Wrestlemania.
