- Vince McMahon is said to be on a frenzy as of late both in his office and backstage at shows... He is said to be extremely upset that no certain match has been set in stone as of yet. With only three PPV's left until the big show it has Vince worried that some of his plans may fall through, Vince is a man who usually gets what he wants but it is said that certain top names are being more difficult than ever to work with now. As of right now here are the current statuses of top names being contacted about appearing or wrestling at the historic 30th Wrestlemania.
Steve Austin- There was word that WWE personally reached out to Austin last month around Hell in a Cell and offered him a "big money deal" to wrestle Triple H at Wrestlemania. Austin was said to be difficult to talk to and asked for a even higher price to commit to the event that was said to be "higher than Goldberg & Hulk Hogan would ask for combined". At last word WWE has had no contact with Austin since his high demands and Vince has personally told the creative staff "not to write anything for Austin" unless something drastic changes.
The Rock- Vince is said to be pretty upset with the Rock at the moment as he thought a mutual agreement was worked out last year for Rock to perform at Wrestlemania XXX. But Rock keeps making his schedule more and more hectic signing onto to more films and filming them. Rock has also not gotten back to WWE about creative idea's pitched to him for a match or return.
Hulk Hogan- Things are looking good for the Hulkser's long time awaited WWE return. Hogan has publicy stated he is 100% officially done with TNA and won't go back as that part of his life is over. Hogan is really wanting to work the dream match with John Cena at Wrestlemania and negotiations continue on both sides and so far so good they hope to reach an official agreement very soon.
Undertaker- Although while he had some recent minor surgery word is he should definitely be ready to go by Wrestlemania. Undertaker keeps pushing for Brock Lesnar to be his opponent although if given the chance and Sting is signed by WWE when his TNA contract expires then expect a change and it be Undertaker VS. Sting instead. But as of right now expect Taker to defend the streak against Lesnar.
Goldberg- Although his asking price is extremely high, Goldberg has gained a little leverage in negotiations with WWE since the likes of Austin & Rock are on the fence or won't be appearing at the event at all. Problem is, WWE is really only wanting Goldberg for one reason and that's a match with Ryback but Goldberg has stated he has "no interest" in facing someone like Ryback nor would be return to job.
Shawn Michaels- Vince & Triple H are pressuring HBK to come out of retirement and face Daniel Bryan at the big event. While HBK has held firm to his retirement so far Vince remains optimistic that he will agree to work the match and it was set up perfectly on RAW following the Hell in a Cell PPV. Even if HBK doesn't work a match expect him to be a part of the show somehow.
Sting- Sting continues to show interest in finally joining WWE once his TNA deal ends in December... although several behind closed doors meetings have recently taken place between Sting & The Carter Family hinting that they may be trying to get Sting to stick around for yet another year. Word is if Sting does indeed go to WWE it wouldn't be just for one match as previously expected. Word has it he would have a Brock Lesnar type schedule and work around 4-5 PPV's in 2014 then possibly Wrestlemania XXXI in 2015 then retire.
- So there are the current updates on the potential stars returning (or debuting in Sting's case) for Wrestlemania next year. Vince is said to be so anxious and distraught that he really wants to have a match or two even set in stone by the end of the TLC PPV next month.
- On a side note, if Hulk Hogan does not end up wrestling John Cena at the big show... then Vince plans on having a Wrestlemania rematch take place between Triple H & John Cena.
