    I know. But the guy in the promo last night wasn't him. That's what threw me off.

    How in the world can you say Albert wasn't in the promo last night?

    I just caught the part near the end where the other guy was bowing toward Albert. Didn't see Albert at all.

    From my looking at it last night, it seemed like the promo had a guy leading / blocking the appearance of another one, like how Fuji used to lead out Yokozuna. So maybe you're both right.

    Or, Prince Albert is going to have a stable of Japanese guys.

    Would you guys be interested in a Wrestlemania pool?

    Pretty simple, you get one point for every correct answer, but if a title change hands you get an extra two points.

    For example, if you take Jericho to beat Punk for the title than you would get three points.

    Here's a pool ripped off from a bulletin board that was like SJ to me in 2004. With some modifications:

    * 2 points for picking the winner (Cena beats Rock)
    * 4 points for picking the winner and correct finish (Cena beats Rock by submission)
    * 6 points for picking a draw/double DQ/double countout/no decision
    * 1 point for picking the opening match of the broadcast (dark matches don't count)
    * 1 point for picking the final match
    * 1 point for picking the penultimate match
    * 1 point for picking the longest match
    * 1 point for picking the shortest match
    * 1 point for each title you correctly predict will change hands (including if the title is held up)
    * 1 point for picking the match that gets the highest star rating on F4Wonline.com
    * 1 point for picking the match that gets the lowest star rating on F4Wonline.com
    * 2 points for face or heel turns
    * -2 points for incorrectly chosen face turns
    * 1 point for returns or debuts (limit 3, so you can't predict that everyone from Seth Rollins to Bruno Sammartino will come in)

    Tiebreaker:
    - How long will the longest match last (bell to bell)? Closest answer without going over wins.

    Deadline would be 6 p.m. Sunday.
