Rock/Austin At WrestleMania, Goldberg, Victoria Injured Submitted by Matthew Boone on Wednesday, January 29, 2003 at 6:27 PM EST
The plan is to go with The Rock vs. Steve Austin at WrestleMania in March if the deal with Bill Goldberg does not come through. As of right now, that deal is not looking likely as there is a big road block in negotiations in the form of money per match, and the amount of matches each side is looking for.
As far as The Rock is concerned, it looks as though he may only be working the match with Hulk Hogan at No Way Out, followed by the likely Steve Austin match (slight possibility of Goldberg) at WrestleMania. Initially, it was believed that Rock would be working WrestleMania and the following pay-per view, Backlash. However, now it seems as if we can look forward to the one-two combo of No Way Out and WrestleMania, and hopefully savor that flavor for a while as Rock will be gone for quite a bit afterwards.
Victoria has been working with a pretty banged up knee lately. She hopes to work until WrestleMania where she wants to get surgery on the knee and take the required absence from in-ring competition. This could be why Jazz was brought back this week, leaving Trish with another dominant heel female to work with in Victoria's absence.
