After discussions and negotiations throughout the week, the lineup for April's WrestleMania 23 is starting to take shape. The current plan is to go with the following 4 matches at the top of the card:
Triple Threat WWE Championship Match
John Cena vs. Edge vs. Randy Orton
World Heavyweight Title Match
The Undertaker vs. Batista
Hulk Hogan vs. Shane McMahon (w/Khali)
Shawn Michaels (w/Donald Trump) vs. King Booker (w/Vince McMahon)
There is also a good possibility we'll see another "Money in the Bank" 6-man ladder match, with the winner getting a WWE title match contract.
WWE's attempts to get the Big Show on board for a match with Hulk Hogan proved to be unsuccessful. While WWE was planning to do a "Hogan vs. a gaint" match to commemorate the 20-year anneversary of Hogan vs. Andre, there's no question that Shane McMahon will get a better match out of Hogan than Big Show or Khali could ever get.
Also, there are currently no plans for the WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony to be televised on the USA Network as it's been in the past.

Notes:
#1. I hate the notion of a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania; I hate the general notion of a Triple Threat match period. I understand it's a necessary evil sometimes, but this is a bit much.
#2. No complaints on this one.
#3. I'm sick of The Great Khali, and I'm even sicker of Terry Bollea, aka Hulk Hogan. I wish both would just go away.
#4. This could be an interesting match. I :heart Shawn Michaels, and I :heart Booker T (**** King Booker) as a heel. I just wish he would come back out to his original music and intro.
