Goldfinger

NYGiants82, what did you think about the PPV on Sunday?  I thought the two elimination chamber matches were enjoyable especially the first one.  It seems for the second year in a row an undercard match will take the spotlight at Wrestlemania:  HBK vs Undertaker. 

The Jericho stuff is interesting since they could go two ways with it: either Jericho continues to insult the "legends" and one of them challenges him to a WM match or Rourke shows up after the Oscars and gets involved with Jericho in a match of some sort.  Whatever the case they have some time to string out the plotline.

In retrospect, the current WM card coming out of the PPV--with the title changes--is a lot better than I thought it would be:

Cena vs Edge--improvement on the uninspiring projected Cena vs Orton match

HHH vs Orton--there's the entire McMahon storyline plus the fact that HHH always brings it at WM and puts on a good show for the people.

Jericho vs ???--I think he'll be challenging a legend with the way the storyline is progessing, which one though?

Money in the Bank Ladder Match--this one never fails to disappoint.  Shelton Benjamin will probably be in it as they like to use him for some sick spots.

Hardy vs Hardy--looking forward to this one as the intensity should be ramped up in the coming weeks.  Sleeper pick for Match of the Night.

Christian vs Jack Swagger--meh this will be a piss break match.

HBK vs Undertaker--two legends colliding with UT undefeated streak on the line.  That and Shawn will be bumping like crazy.

I agree with the comments about The Mentalist--it just gets too predictable.  I never got into Lie to Mie.  Regarding House though, I think it's actually more character study than procedural.  But I'm not particularly fond of this season though. 

Strat0, what are your thoughts about this season of House?

What about Damages, Von?   It's multi-layered and almost Dickensian in plot and has a great cast.

Did he leave Pushing Daisies after it got canceled?

The problem with these options is that it goes counter to what we know about Axl's habits.  Option 1 requires him to release material once every few years.  But as we all know it takes him a long time to produce and tweak the music to his liking.  It's taken him more than a month to produce a Better video.  Maybe this will change with Azoff as his manager but I doubt it.  Axl has to have some sort of incentive to release material quickly otherwise he will sit on his thumbs and be deliberate when it comes to his material.

The NIN option is a lot more interesting to consider but ultimately would require a whole lot of work from Axl.  First and foremost he will have to totally overhaul the current website.  He would then have to provide video clips/audio content in conjunction with any major release.  I think he could provide updates on any album/music via chat on any of the major GNR forums; so that would not be a major problem.  I just don't see him as the type to provide entire albums for downloading to the general public.  I can't really explain why but I just don't see him going this route.

I think we'll all have answers around June though as that is when BB exclusive deal expires.  Plus, we should see whether this Italy rumor is true or the usual BS.
