Raw tuned out to be a three hour WrestleMania Rewind Match-athon. The first match was a casket match between the Undertaker and Mark Henry. The Demon of Death Valley again buried Mark Henry. In a blast from the past, from the first WrestleMania, the Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff, the Foreign Legion, came down to the right to face the US Express in the ring.

Tonight was the official weight in between the Big Show and Floyd Money Mayweather, the biggest athlete versus the greatest fighter respectively. Money came in at 159 pounds while the Big Show came in at a whopping 442 pounds. That is three hundred pounds weight differential. After the weight-in, the Big Show brought his posse which included practically the whole ECW and Smackdown. In a bad move, Money crew walked off the ring before Money, well this was all the break the Big Show needed to throw Money out of the ring onto the cold hard concrete! Money ran off stage visible pain.

On Monday night Raw, it was announced that Mae Young will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Mae Young made her wrestling debut in 1939, she has made countless WWE appearances. She maybe best remembered for appearing along side the late “Fabulous Moolah” who was her real-life best friend. The Divas are grateful for pioneers such as Mae Young and the late “Fabulous Moolah” for paving the way for Women’s wrestling.

Two more great champions where announced to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, High Chief Peter Maivia and Rocky Johnson. The High Chief will be inducted by his grandson, while Rocky Johnson will be inducted by his son, Dwayne The Rock Johnson. The Rock is both the grandson of the High Chief and the son of Rocky Johnson. Even though The Rock has left the wrestling ring for the big screen, WrestleMania will be a big night for him and his family.

The championship title match at WrestleMania is set between John Cena, Randy Orton, and Tripple H. At Raw, there was a press conference in the ring between Orton, Cena, and H. At first, John Cena confronted Tripple H because during last weeks match between Orton and Cena, while Tripple H was the guest referee, Tripple H gave John the old Pedigree after Cena pinned Orton. There was a lot of tree way trash talking going on at the press conference, but talk turned to blows as Cena and H tagged team against Orton to knock him out of the ring. With Orton out of the way, Cena and H went at it relentlessly, giving Orton enough time to jump back in and knock both John Cena and Tripple H out cold. Message delivered by the WWE champion.

Earlier today, at the Staples Center in Los Angles, at the official WrestleMenia press conference, Floyd Money Mayweather, Jr went face to face with The Big Show. I understand that Mayweather is a champ, but Big Show’s hand is bigger than Mayweather’s head! Pound for pound Mayweather is a great champion and he did break Big Show’s nose with a single punch, but pound for pound Big Show weights a lot of pounds.
