Bruce Prichard Reveals WM 25 Storyline

In a rather low unclassy move made earlier this week by a former employee of the WWE who was recently released, said person has mailed out the planned script that was to take place at WWE's 25th anniversary of their Superbowl they call Wrestlemania to various "dirt sheet" websites such as ourselves, presumably giving away the storyline on The Undertaker.

It is no secret to who is behind this mess, as former WWE producer Bruce Prichard, best known to WWF fans as "Brother Love"(ironically The Undertakers first manager) was released last week. The ten page script confirmed rumors of Undertakers opponent being Shawn Michaels.

The story behind it will be that Shawn Michaels, along with Undertakers kayfabe brother Kane, has gotten word that Undertaker is planning on returning to Death Valley after Wrestlemania 25(Also confirming rumors of Undertakers 2009 retirement). Kane, feeling that this is his chance to prove himself to the Undertaker, as he has never defeated the Undertaker at Wrestlemania, takes it upon himself to insert himself into the match at Wrestlemania 25. On the other hand, Shawn Michaels who has no opponent for the show, insists that he is the one who should face The Deadman in his last match, citing Ric Flair as an example. This leads to a semi feud between Kane and Shawn Michaels over who gets to face 'Taker at Wrestlemania.

This will eventually lead to a match between the two at No Way Out, with Shawn Michaels prevailing(by cheating, thus starting a small heel run) and facing The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 25. In the weeks leading into Wrestlemania 25, Kane will align himself with Shawn Michaels after HBK convinces Kane that he is indeed the better man to "do the job" at Wrestlemania 25.

HBK is set to take advantage of the fact that Kane is the closest thing to The Undertaker and will have Kane tell him of his weaknesses. The script also calls for Kane to play as a bodyguard for HBK, protecting him until Wrestlemania 25 and assisting him to his matches on RAW. Mind games will prevail in classic 'Taker fashion; there is an angle on the March 30th edition of RAW(the last RAW before WM) scripted for Kane to be cremated alive, only to escape in mere seconds with HBK ditching him.

The last two pages on the script is specifically for the match at Wrestlemania 25, with Undertaker prevailing, keeping his streak alive. The finish calls for HBK to viciously assault 'Taker with a steel chair as the referee is laid out, taking advantage of the golden opportunity.

As the referee regains himself(Mike Chioda is scheduled to referee the match) he begins the traditional slow count that is stopped by Kane stepping down on his hands. Kane will then grab HBK and deliver his signature Chokeslam to him and drag his Brother unto him, keeping Undertakers streak alive. Page ten called for Paul Bearer to come out with the urn, announcing to Undertaker that it's time to go back home. As 'Taker regains himself, he will stand face to face with Kane, and do his signature pose, before vanishing into the air. The ending has a lot of different scripts to it on the page, but this is the one we found more relevant. This will lead to a feud with Kane and HBK, leading to a Hell In A Cell match at Backlash, with that being HBK's possible last match.

This is confirmation to the rumors that has been making the rounds on the net as of late. The storyline was to be produced by Bruce Prichard, Michael Hayes, and Vince Mcmahon. We are not to excited to see what action WWE may take against Prichard releasing scripts of planned shows and angles, but it was a very unclassy move made by him and his parties. We here at WON do not condone the actions of Prichard

That sounds like it could have been a cracking angle if allowed to play out that way, however I have a small problem with it, they say they have nothing for Michaels yet, however there is THREE PPVs before WrestleMania and plenty of time to go yet!

I just read this on 606 and I am quite worried that now this has been revealed there is a chance WWE will want to change the storyline in a way ala Kane/Mysterio angle.

Other than that it sounds like a very good angle and makes some storyline sense, Micheals also has history with 'Taker and they could play on that.

I am almost 99% sure that Michaels wouldn't end his career in a match with Kane, I think it'll be with someone that he has had a long history with or putting over a younger talent. Probably either Triple H or John Morrison.

It made for a good read until the part where Michaels might end his career at Backlash, that certainly won't happen and definitely not against Kane, when he does go he is one that I for one am sure will go at WrestleMania, but he has another two Manias at least in him yet!

I also think Michaels won't leave WWE 'forever' once he retires, I think he'll just not wrestle, perhaps taking on a mentor role for someone of a GM. I'd be suprised if he doesn't take an on-screen role after he loses his final match.

For Undertaker I just don't think he'll be able to do anything once he retires, I think he could possibly go with a passing of the torch angle but even then that means once he's gone he's gone. I also hope 'Taker doesn't turn into one of the 'turn up every year' people ala Stone Cold.

I don't think The Undertaker will turn up on shows but he will probably have a job for life with the WWE, with his good influence on the locker room I can definitely see him becoming a road agent and possibly even a booker, he seems to be a fair guy, I think if you work your nuts off for him he will push for you to be pushed as well so I think people respond to that kind of attitude!

Also The Undertaker has done it all, I don't think many would try and over power him when it comes to decision making, particularly from the wrestlers or the higher up backroom guys

Also I doubt Shawn Michaels will lose his last match!

No reason why I say that, just don't believe he will, particularly if he is still young enough!

Oops, didn't really mean lose Just meant 'have' his final match.

hopefully this will cause the story to be changed for the better.

sounded ok, but kane needs some real hyping up for anyone to give a shite I feel, people no longer care if hes suposed to be his brother as its been ages since kane has done anything.

hopefully this storyline isnt why they changed all the evil kane mask stuff.

think within a few weeks he should mask up cos he cant be arsed being seen, then go from there in the future.

Not so sure, Kane hasn't really done much in years but as soon as this 'is he dead or alive' thing kicked off it gathered more pace than Lewis Hamiltons motor!

Everyone is dying for Kane to get a big story that is actually prolonged, so the fans in my opinion would accept him in this type of role no problems

Plus Kane in a decent story...no chance lol.

Despite the hate, I still wanted to see HHH and Undertaker go at it again, them two could pull off one juicy match.

Thing is there's no way HHH deserves to win but I can't see either of these agreeing to lose.

Triple H gets a lot of bad press and maybe its due however he is long overdue a big win at WrestleMania, he has done enough jobbing on Mania to totally go against everything people say about him!

Like people have already said, I think this would be a interesting angle if they gave it enough time, however now that it has been leaked, I very much doubt WWE will still go ahead with it unless in a swerve, Michaels actually beat Taker at Mania. Now the only person I would like to see beat Taker at Mania is a future star who WWE know is going to be huge. They could have ended the streak with Orton at Wrestlemania 21 but when that didn't happen, I have had a doubt that the streak will ever be broken.

So low and unclassy that we decided to print it for the world to see

Hypocritical dafties aside, WWE should do more of this I reckon. Have the future endeavoured club send in a "few scripts" then go along with them just with a massive swerve.

Almost like what they did with Kane/Rey but only this time it has to be good.

This isnt in this weeks or last weeks Torch.

You've been had, Gaff.
