TAILGATING AT WRESTLEMANIA, TAKING AN EARLY STAB AT PREDICTING THE CARD, WWE GOING AFTER SAMOA JOE AND MORE

Is there any word, among the boys or anybody else, about who Ted Dibiase pissed off? What did he do wrong? There HAS TO be something. What are you hearing?

If Ted DiBiase did something to end up in his current position, it's not something we've heard of. The company has just elected not to use him in a more substantial role at this juncture. You aren't the only one who scratches your head on that one.

I was just wondering if there were any negotiations between Samoa Joe and the WWE earlier this month when Joe's TNA contract had expired. If not, why do you think the WWE did not offer him a deal. Thanks for your help and happy new year!

I am under the impression that WWE did not reach out to Joe during the time period he was available to be signed. I know there were people in the company who pushed the idea but it never went anywhere before he came to a new agreement with TNA and by then, WWE couldn't hire him if they wanted. It boggled my mind that they didn't pursue Joe stronger at the time.

Hi, with 2010 coming to close, what do you see as the Wrestlemania card right now or would like to see. I can John Morrison losing next week on RAW, not getting rematch and going on to either win the Royal Rumble or Elimination Chamber and facing Miz at 'Mania for the tittle, your taughts. Thanks.

At this point, it looks like Wrestlemania is shaping up to be John Cena vs. Miz, Randy Orton vs. CM Punk, Triple H vs. Sheamus and Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio as the top matches. I can see Undertaker vs. Kane in there plus a Money in the Bank with the likes of Mysterio, Barrett, Kofi, etc. That's just my guess as I am sitting here writing this, but injuries, creative decisions, outside guests being used, etc. could always change that.

Do people tailgate on Wrestlemania Sunday? Should you go 2-3 hours early? Going to my first Wrestlemania, and wanted to know what to expect. Dont want to miss everything.

I've seen it done at the same stadiums in the past. If you want the full experience and have the time to go, I say go if you want to take it all in, but remember that until they open the doors, you are still just waiting around!

Where are AJ and Naomi?

Both are still working for WWE developmental. Naomi was used on the Smackdown house shows over the holiday stretch.
