Go WWE!

[jbailey84]

if anything it could be edge & orton till the very end & theyll play off of that. their gonna probably pull the whole "whos feet touched the floor first?" i wouldnt mind that. im all for it. or if somehow Orton, Edge, AND HBK all fell over at the same time. that'd be something. if something like that does happen, instead of "restarting" the rumble with the last whoever, they should have it as a match.

[chillinvillin]

yea cause the last time they did that **** they restarted it & one guy got thrown out within like 10 seconds. i wanna say it was HBk & bret

[KingMizfit]

Yeah CV...I feel bad for Konnan and all...but that don't mean I'm giving him *****!

If what you guys are talking about does happen...I think it could be interesting. don't forget that one year Bret Hart and Lex Luger were co-winners of the rumble....
That would be crazy if Edge and Orton had to share the props eh?

[chillinvillin]

there you go i knew bret hart was one of em i just couldnt remember the other. edge & orton are so full of themselves each ones ego will get to em

[jbailey84]

yea if they did a co-winners deal, thatd be sweet. unlike in 2005 when Batista and Cena both got tossed over and Vince had them "restart", that was lame.

IF Edge AND Orton DO be co-winners, they should wrestle maybe mid-card at Mania and the winner go against Cena in the Main Event for the title.

[KingMizfit]

That is a great idea! It's fresh and exciting. Plus if either actually went on to win the title....it would be well deserved.

[Starwars411]

Here's what I think will happen with the final four of the Royal Rumble. It's gonna be The Great Khali, Undertaker, Randy Orton, and Shawn Michaels. Michaels might knock Orton out for a few seconds with the Sweet Chin Music. Then Undertaker and Michaels will work on Khali and eventually eliminate him.

Michaels and Taker will square off with each other and then Orton will sneak behind Michaels and throw him out. Taker and Orton will start fighting, with Taker throwing Orton over, but Orton will stay up and land on the apron. However, Taker will grab him and chokeslam Orton to the floor, thus Taker will win the Royal Rumble.

That's what I feel should happen.

And here's how I think Edge will be eliminated. He'll probably hang around the ring just like he did at the Battle Royale on RAW last month. Then when Orton comes out, Edge will be excited and he'll go and tell Orton that they're gonna take em all out. The wrestlers will all be looking at Rated RKO, BUT!!, Orton is gonna throw Edge in the ring and then the wrestlers will eliminate him.

That would be frickin hilarious, because just like it says, it's every man for himself.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's how I think the John Cena/Umaga match will end. Cena WILL win the Last Man Standing Match and the only way I think he'll be able to do it is by putting something real heavy on top of Umaga so that he won't be able to get up, thus making him lose by the 10 Count.

------------------

And I don't really care about the other matches cause they won't be as great but here are my predictions.

Hardys vs. MNM=Hardys

Batista vs. Kennedy=Batista

Lashley vs. Test=Test (new champ)

[chillinvillin]

yea im with Taker on this one for sure. i guess Test would be a better ECW champ than lashley

[jbailey84]

here are my picks for the ppv

30-Man Royal Rumble: The Undertaker

Last Man Standing Match
- WWE Champion John Cena* vs. Umaga

- World Champion Batista vs. Ken Kennedy* By DQ

- ECW Champion Bobby Lashley vs. Test*

- Matt & Jeff Hardy vs. MNM*

[carnage4u]

id love to see Undertaker win the rumble, and it seems they are going in that direction


btw.. I can handle smackdown, as it seems like a decent show.
but damm.. Raw is just useless now.... just sad..

[chewie]

30-Man Royal Rumble: The Undertaker

Last Man Standing Match
- WWE Champion John Cena* vs. Umaga

- World Champion Batista* vs. Ken Kennedy
- ECW Champion Bobby Lashley* vs. Test

- Matt & Jeff Hardy* vs. MNM

[jbailey84]

HUGE NEWS REGARDING WRESTLEMANIA 23!! from rajah.com

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.

[jbailey84]

well i went 2-3 on my picks.

Congrats to Undertaker for finally winning a Royal Rumble :D

[KingMizfit]

Man...I thought the Rumble was pure entertainment. I was surprised by Cena vs Umaga..it was awesome. Mr. Kennedy also surprised me too, but of Course they had Batista win. Test vs Lashley was the same exact match as the one they had last tuesday...except Test spent more time in the ring. The ending totally confused me though. It was rather pooiintless, but I still enjoy watching these guys knock the crap out of each other.

The tag match was the same thing we've seen before, but at least it went for about 20 minutes.

The Rumble match was fun. Lots of people got a little spotlight. I liked how it started with Finlay VS flair, and ended with HBK vs Taker.

On a side note, I checke dout that WSX on MTV, and while it was good to see some talent I haven't saw in a while...it was cheesy. Fake electrocutions and explosions? Looks like they are taking WSX in a theatrical direction, which some may enjoy, but I find it kind of childish. Oh well....

[jbailey84]

yea a Flair/Finlay feud i honestly wouldnt mind seeing. it kinda started back at Wrestlemania 22 with the Money In the Bank match.

but that is sweet how it ended with HBK/Taker :D cant wait to watch the PPV tomorrow night over here!!

[KingMizfit]

It was worth the $ for once in my opinion. Hope you enjoy it too.

[chillinvillin]

it sounded boring just reading the results. WSX ***in rocked. although it did seem cheesy with the bombs & electicity & crap, i know ill be tuning in tomorrow nite. FFFFFFFFFF ECW. they aint gettin my ratings. especially since they still cant come up with good endings to their main event matches

[jbailey84]

can blame Vince for ECW

[KingMizfit]

The ECW originals had some cool moments in the rumble though. Sandman got huge pops for his entrance, and then he cained the **** out of most dudes in the match before he got tossed. Sabu did the table spot which was different for the Rumble. and RVD was in the rumble for a long time, and got some eliminations. Dreamer didn't do much, but he hung in for awhile.

I know you guys don't like the new ECW...but that MTV show is kiddie crap. Just my opinion of course. They DO have some awesomse talent on that show though, too awesome to be diving in electric eel tanks, and getting fake electrocutions if you ask me......

word is...WWE is looking to snatch up Teddy hart.

[Carnage Escobar]

Well, glad to know that Taker finally won the Rumble.

[Starwars411]

Well, from watching RAW so far, I have a feeling that the WWE Title Match at Wrestlemania 23 will be a Fatal Four-Way Match.

Cena (C) vs. Michaels vs. Orton vs. Edge

That'd would be a helluva match.

[Inval1d]

i did not expect HBK and Cemna to win the tag titles tonight..

that was a shocker.

[chillinvillin]

word is...WWE is looking to snatch up Teddy hart.


wont happen. hopefully not anytime this year so that way they cant be screwed on the 10 anniversary of the Montreal incident. The supposed NEW HART FOUNDATION that is. they only need Teddy Hart. They got Bulldogs son & neidharts daughter already. they just need someone from the immediate hart family.

hey & you can say all you want about WSX. but while your watchin Mcmahon on ecw (by the by he shouldnt be on there in the first place, i dont care if he does own it, but i always told myself if i saw Mcmahon on ECW id never watch it again.) looks like its come true. i even read this morning that vince has been talkin about ECW on its last legs. thats ***in great. finally ecw will get to rest in pieces

[KingMizfit]

We'll see what Vinny Mac has planned for ECW tonight. I'll go out on a limb and say he meant what he said when ECW woul never be the same again, and it's possible the "main event" advertised for tonight won't even happen.We'll know tomorrow, but I will guarantee...ECW won't be going anywhere for awhile. Those rumor sites are sometimes full of it. It's Mania time, no one is shutting down a brand right now. And even if they do, it's no skin off my butt.


Anyways. That was cool Taker showed up on RAW. It don't mean he's coming there though. He may just be putting everyone on notice.

Speaking of Mcmahon...dumbass actually cut a good promo last night. It was crazy that Trump showed up and dropped all that loot on the crowd.

Good matches though, except for one. All I got to say is keep Maria out of the ring. I saw her botch at least three spots last night, and I'm surprised one of the girls didn't get hurt. Also...both teams of carlito and super crazy, and masters and kenny have potential, but they are boring fighting each other. Just not good chemistry.

Khali actually had his first GOOD match too. Thanks to Jeff Hardy. Thye did the David and goliath thing well, and Jeff sold all the bumps, and they timed it so it wasn't a boring squash. They are finally making Khali intimidating. I actually saw Khali use about 8 moves....hey...thats great...it's Khali we are talking about here.

The main event was tight. new tag champs, a deadman appearance, the end of Rated R.K.O..and absolutely no fake electrocutions, corpse paint, or "electric eels". The road to mania is starting off good.

[chillinvillin]

well pack up & keep on truckin cause its a long haul all by yourself. tonite ecw goes down. thank you to whoever brought WSX to life, cause i will no longer be falling asleep on tuesdays ANYMORE.

[KingMizfit]

I'm trying to feel you about WSX man...but then I keep seeing that guy fall out of the ring and get "electrocuted"..

[KingMizfit]

But if you like WSX I'm happy for you.

So...why does ECW go down tonight? If anything...I think it's about to pick up...in a major way.

But then...it's hard to top diving in a tank of electric eels........

[chillinvillin]

hey i can get past the electric eels cause at least the main event on WSX will have a real outcome rather than stoppin the match when no one is really hurt only to have the same match the following week with a weak ass ending or people walkin out of their matches. & if you watched RR you get to see the same match for the third time in 1 week.

[KingMizfit]

The thing is though....if the "real" ending consists of "explosions, electrocutions and electric eels" then you'll excuse me if I don't feel too cheated by ECW re-running a good main event three times.
Ever think they had Test walk off for a good reason? Like maybe we'll get a steel cage match or an extreme rules match tonight?

If I'm wrong I'm wrong, but I think tonight ECW is getting shaken up. If it is just another Test vs lashley and thats all we get, then I will gladly admit ECW is dying. That still doesn't mean I will watch dudes in clown makeup brawling in the chamber of horrors ride from the carnival though. I was pumped for WSX...but after watching the "pilot"...I think they may be taking things a little too far over there...which is maybe why I prefer the new ECW and you don't. I think the matches should tell the stories, not the special effects and weapons around the ring. But hey...to each his own. Just don't tell me MTV knows more than WWE about wrestling dude...cuz no matter if you are an Indy fan, or an anti wwe Troll, TNA mark, or just a regular joe, WWE will always be superior to WSX.

[chillinvillin]

if they were gonna give us a special match steel cage etc, then they shouldve either done it in the first place or lead up to it ANOTHER way. not the way theyve been doin it.

well the stories that WWeCW are tellin suck. like i said they cant even come up with a good ending for their stories. & why would i say MTV knows more about rasslin. thats like sayin USA knows more about TNN or somthin. who cares? the only reason WWe is superior to WSX is cause of the money with exception of a handful of talent. other than that they suck. they do & it shows. thats why mcmahon is gonna be on ecw tonite cause hes scared of the competition & its all over the internet just in case you havent read

[Starwars411]

Was it just me or was last night a special Tag Team night?

[Inval1d]

yeah i noticed alot of tag team action..

[KingMizfit]

So I was wrong about them doing anything different with Test and Lashley. STILL...they managed to have a different match, and the whole point was...Lashley wanted a clean, convincing win. He got it, and then the Undertaker showed up.

Looks like I was right about the shake up. Vince lit a fire under the ECW originals ass. Looks like they haven't forgotten them at all...or maybe people just really bought into Vinces BS, and actually thought he didn't have plans for them.

RVD VS Holly. Wow. Considering how miserable I've heard RVD is...he still worked a great match with Holly getting the convincing win. It's about time they exploit Holly's toughness, and even though RVD lost, I'm sure they were proud of the performance they gave.

CM Punk vs Matt Striker. Striker has potential. While CM is awesome, striker showed he has far more weight to throw around and did. Nice heel finish with Striker grabbing the ropes. CM tried to rally the crowd, but he's no RVD.

I guess last night showed why they have been holding back the original ECW...it was to develop some depth to the roster. Looks like Elijah Burke will have his hands full of the original extremeists. wonder who will step up and help him?

Bottomline is Lashley is a monster. Now that Test has been beaten convincingly, my pick for his Mania fued will be the Alpha Male. Anyone watching saw Mcmahon tell Cor Von, he was a "breath of fresh air around here" I'm anticipating this match up very highly.

CV....everything sucks you say...I got you.You are serious about your entertainment. Looks like you got a WSX thread now to rave about their backyard rasslin. I'm old school though man, and I like where the WWE is at right now. The matches tell the story, and WWE has always done that,and they push/make new stars.
WRESTLEMANIA is coming, and the WWE is where it's at. As far as the internet, well, WWE still wins most polls, and mania is doing 40 million in sales. Not everyone cares about what the bitter fanboys are talking about online.

[chillinvillin]

it does suck. im not just bitter. im just not impressed at all with wwe or ecw. & believe me people care about what us bitter fans are sayin. you care & you know it. im old skool too but im tired of seein the same crap overs & overs & overs again. & wsx is all about makin new stars & mcmahon wants em.

as far as whos gonna step up & help burke. more like whos gonna step up & jobb to make another unimpressive rassler big (easy they make the originals look good by jumpin one guy only to turn it around & feed them all to burke one by one to make him look good), just like lashley. just like mcmahon says, "isnt there any talent that can make Lashley look good". if he was so good he shouldnt need some other top talent make him look good. you call it good storytellin & i call it a bunch of the same old crap

[KingMizfit]

Anyways...

Just read the spoilers for Smackdown. There is some pretty good fueds starting up now....and they announced the main event for No Way Out. Looks like the question of who Taker is facing at mania won't be answered anytime soon, but no matter which way it goes, Mania is going to have a good main event.

Without giving away the ending..Benoit has a great match with Finlay. Real pros at work. Lil Bastard is being used to push a surprising new fued for finlay with someone who was absent from the Rumble, but is now back.

Plus two words...MR. KENNEDY. This cat looked tough at the rumble, and looks even tougher this week. He will get his rematch.

The arena was a legitimate sell-out.
can't wait to see the Bikini contest too.

[jbailey84]

i wouldnt mind a Booker T/Kane feud from the little fall out at the rumble.

[KingMizfit]

Well I didn't want to spoil it...but Friday night...that will be starting up in a big way. Maybe you already know? Either way..I agree. Bookers as Tough as they come. You forget sometimes cuz he acts like a dork.

[chillinvillin]

hey didnt Benoit & Finlay fight back in the WCW days. nuthin new there. Kane/Booker T, im sure has been done before as well. the little midget always comes out & starts some dumb ****. & well kennedy, ehhh, im usually already bored with him before he says his name the second time. good rassler but boring to watch. i dont know about this whole undertaker crap. when he came out on RAW it was like "ah **** now we get to see him pull this crap on ECW & smackdown" just seems lame when hes standin there starin down whoever the champ is & both cena & lashley had that same dumb look on their faces like they were supposed to be in shock. now you get to see it for the third time in one week AGAIN.

[Carnage Escobar]

I sense a lot of haterism here. What are you so angry about?

[KingMizfit]

Speaking of Benoit. He's been US champ for awhile now. He may get involved in the Kane/Booker-T angle...though I have a feeling MVP might be next up for a US title shot.

On a side note...WWE.COM has a cool interview up, where Kane interviews Robert Englund..the dude who played Freddy.

[chillinvillin]

though I have a feeling MVP might be next up for a US title shot.

IF mvp wins. what do you think of that?

other than its a fresh face winning the title

[KingMizfit]

I hate MVP's gimmick...but he's looked sharp in the ring so far. He can cut a good promo too.

[Carnage Escobar]

What if WWE threw a curveball and had Cena vs. Batista Champion vs. Champion Ultimate Heavyweight Title Match at 'Mania? Intersting indeed, but thankfully it won't happen.

[jbailey84]

would be interesting but would be blah. both cant wrestle, who would carry that match?

WWE is known for some curveballs here and there.

[KingMizfit]

Cena earned my respect after his rumble match. I never thought I'd say that...but he ENTERTAINED me for once. RUMORS going round are HBK vs Batista...and Cena vs Taker. Don't know how thats gonna work...but I think the matchups are better this way.

[jbailey84]

well i'm in a very happy mood. just bought tickets for Vengeance which will be in Houston June 24, day after my sister's wedding. Section 106 FIRST ROW!! WOO HOO!! :D

[Starwars411]

I'm also pretty happy as well. I just got some tickets to the RAW show the day after Wrestlemania. So it's gonna be awesome.

[KingMizfit]

Awesome guys. Thats cool.

Looks likethe Taker will be kicking off RAW tonight, with an answer to THE question. Which title does he want to go after at Mania 23?

[jbailey84]

hope its Batista but i wouldnt mind Taker/Cena but that would kill the rumored Cena/Edge/Orton/possibly HBK.

[SJBKAT]

I would love to see Taker vs. Batista. It reminds me of Sid Vs Taker at Wrestlemania 13. I would love to see that fued, but that would mean HBK Vs. Cena, and I do not know how I feel about that pair in a match. Ideally, I'd love to see Taker win the title from Cena, then start a fued with HBK. That has been a long time coming.

I'd rather see Edge and Orton fight in singles competition than for the world title at this point. Maybe a good specialty match or something.

[Carnage Escobar]

Either way, it seems we're in for an interesting Wrestlemania this year.

[jbailey84]

oh yea :D

[KingMizfit]

Sweet. Taker vs batista and HBK vs Cena. I'm wondering if edge and orton will fight at mania or if they will use this match as filler since RAW don't have a PPV until mania. Wonder if Saturday nights main event will return this year?

As for RAW, it was cool to see Haas, Benjamin, and Super Crazy all get wins again. The Umaga squash of Balls Mahoney was hilarious...and Mickie james looked hot taking on Melina. Flairs
'lecture" at Carlito was interesting, and I wonder if MR. Cool will take it to heart. I hope so. Jeff Hardy is awesome IMO....I've seen two weeks of solid performances from him now, and he worked great with Flair. Also...I'm starting to respect Lashley more every week. He killed kenny.:funny:

The triple threat was an awesome main event, and the show started off good too.
Next week two billionaires enter the ring with "buisness propositions" for each other. Trump and Mcmahon in a WWE ring? It's not "rasslin" but I bet it will be entertaining.

[ChaCho]

I think I mentioned this back at Survivor Series when Batista won the World Heavyweight Championship. That at this Wrestlemania he would go against The Undertaker, and man was I right. I've been gone for a while and Im two weeks late but man I have got to say it... Finally! The Undertaker won the Royal Rumble! And this is it after many years of getting cheated out of it but with this win The Undertaker would go on a perfect 15-0 at Wrestlemania and win his 5th World Championship.

And I cant believe that The Showstopper is also getting a WWE Championship match at Wrestlemania. I cant believe how good this Wrestlemania is turning out. Now you guys remember how at Wrestlemania 21 Batista and John Cena won the Titles they hold now? well my prediction is The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels, my two most favorite supestars become World Heavyweight Champion and WWE Champion. Both for the 5th Time.

[KingMizfit]

Mysterio is coming back in TWO weeks. He lost a loser leaves Smackdown match to Chavo...so I figured he'd end up on RAW...but they are advertising his return on Smackdown? Oh well...at least he'll be back for mania.

[jbailey84]

i forgotten that he had to get his knee redone or something.

yea i hope that Taker and HBK win the titles, be a nice touch. and i hope that there arent any stupid diva playboy filler matches. love the divas, but those are a waste. wouldnt mind though seeing Mickie vs Victoria vs Melina for the Women's Title though at Mania.

[KingMizfit]

That would be a good match. I hope victoria is involved someway somehow at Mania.

[jbailey84]

she should. i know her and Mickie had that little fued, be great to get her involved at Mania and add Melina to the mix.

[KingMizfit]

I agree. They need to keep candice and maria OUT of the ring! Those two stink up any MATCH they are in....but I don't mind them doing some Diva stuff.

[ChaCho]

They always have Diva matches at Wrestlemania. They are enjoyable in some way because they do some really outrageous stuff just because its Wrestlemania.

Oh man, Rey is coming back? Thats really good. I thought he had retired. I do remember he got injured. I would like to see him go against Gregory Helms and challenge for the Cruserweight Title. Not only would he probably bring back life to that division but he could shut that man up for his "I have had this title for longer than anyone!" blah blah blah.

[KingMizfit]

LOL

Yeah...that would be a great series of matches I'm sure. I just really hope they..uh...REMEMBER...that Rey lost the loser LEAVES smackdown match.
I was kind of hoping REY could step to the next level on RAW, but if he heads back to SD...no biggie.

So the NO WAY OUT card is shaping up. Not too bad so far.....the ladder match is a repeat but it was good last time. I doubt Batista and the Taker will EVER team up again so thats pretty big...
Kane vs Booker will be good, and Finlay vs Boogeyman will be entertaining for certain reasons.

ALSO...it looks like Saturday Nights Main event will be happening on March 10th. I'm gonna guess this may be where we will see Orton vs Edge, but I wouldn't be surprised if they milked it until mania.

[jbailey84]

from rajah.com

It has been confirmed that WWE plans on releasing a DVD on 'Mr. Perfect' Curt Hennig. The DVD will likely be released in 2007. It was four years ago on Saturday that Hennig passed away

WOO HOO!!

[KingMizfit]

I saw that too. should be good stuff. So RAW isn't airing until thursday this week. Bummer. Oh yeah...TEST got suspended for guess what? Steroids! Who would have thought......LOL.

[ChaCho]

Man steroids? thats pathetic... Im guessing he wanted to leave to do something so stupid with the new drug policy in effect.

No Way Out is turning out nice. What they could do is that whoever wins between Kane and Booker would challenge for the World Title after Wrestlemania. Also, anyone know if the Money In the Bank ladder match is happening this year at Wrestlemania? It would be sweet to see Jeff Hardy win that match.

[KingMizfit]

I'm sure they will have a MINTB ladder match...at least I hope they do. with two guys from each show.

Smackdown should be interesting after Wrestlemania for sure. they don't have the follow up PPV like RAW...so I'm sure we'll get some good match ups on regular T.V..

If taker wins at mania...I wonder if we'll see the old Kane vs Taker rivalry again?

[KingMizfit]

I just read on WWE.COM that the four way ladder match has been pulled form NO WAY OUT. The reason? Deuce and domino have defeated Brian and Paul twice in a row and are the number one contendors for the titles.
therefore at NO WAY OUT it will be D&D VS BK AND PL.

Matt Hardy will probably take on Joey Mercury as well.

[ChaCho]

Well that sucks. It would suck if they give the D guys the World Title. I mean they are too new to get the tites.

[KingMizfit]

I agree. Paul London and Kendrick need a convincing win though....maybe this is where they will pick it up. If not...the cruiserweight division would be better with these guys back in it.

So....if Vince or Donalds represenative loses at mania....one of e'm is getting their head shaved. LOL! I'd be cool with seeing Vince humiliated once again!

[ChaCho]

that would be awsome, I dont think Donald will want his head shaved. This is going to be interesting. see which ego will keep his hair

[KingMizfit]

I think the outcome will be hilarious!

So what do you guys think about a possible Lashley vs Snitsky match at Mania?

[ChaCho]

they seemed to have given snitsky kind of a monster role so is kind of entertaining. but they could pull something better for wrestlemania

[jbailey84]

well from the smackdown spoilers i read, looks like it will be lashley and Mr.Kennedy at no way out.

[KingMizfit]

Cool. I'm actually starting to like Kennedy alot. I think he;s looked pretty tough in his matches against Batista and Taker. He held his own in the 8 man tag last night too......

[chewie]

That just kind of killed the spoiler there.

[Carnage Escobar]

I had a weird dream last night that the No Way Out main event was won by Batista/Taker and then Vince McMahon came out and ordered an Undisputed Heavyweight unification title match which was later won by HBK after he pinned Batista. Thus making HBK the unified champion.


Anyway, I'm glad I didn't miss all of Raw last night. That 8-man tag was awesome and it was interesting seeing Taker and Batista towering over HBK and Cena.

[KingMizfit]

That just kind of killed the spoiler there.

:funny:

My bad dude. I thought I tagged the whole thing.

[ChaCho]

That Tag Match last night was awsome in my opinion. See like before Wrestlemania Undertaker always plays mind games to get the advantage coming into Wrestlemania. But now he got this role like whoever gets in his path will face defeat. He was annihilating everyone in that match even HBK and Cena

[jbailey84]

here are my picks for tonights No Way Out ppv.

World Heavyweight Champion Batista & The Undertaker vs. WWE Champion John Cena & Shawn Michaels* somehow i see them winning

ECW Championship Match
- Bobby Lashley (c)* vs. Mr. Kennedy snitsky interupts match

WWE Tag Team Championship Match
- Paul London & Brian Kendrick (c's) vs. Deuce & Domino*

WWE Cruiserweight Championship Open
- Gregory Helms (c) vs. Chavo Guerrero* vs. Scotty 2 Hotty vs. Jimmy Wang Yang vs. Funaki vs. Jamie Noble vs. Shannon Moore vs. Daivari

- Kane* vs. King Booker

- WWE U.S. Champion Chris Benoit & The Hardys* vs. MNM & MVP

- Diva Talent Invitational who cares

- The Boogeyman & Little Boogeyman vs. Finlay & Little Bastard*

[ChaCho]

damn those picks were dead on except for the tag match. Batista, Wrestlemania will shock you

[jbailey84]

lol yea i know. i read the results this morning and was like holy crap!! i should have betted money ;)

[FVD]

...and even more sad news, Mike Alphonso better known as Mike Awesome has passed away at the age of 42. Apparently he hung himself. :(


Mike Awesome passes away
Written: February 19, 2007

WWE is saddened by news of the passing of Mike Alfonso, better known to wrestling fans as Mike Awesome. He was 42.

Mike Awesome's first major exposure came overseas, where he became one of the Japan's top stars. Awesome would eventually become a star and champion in America while wrestling for Extreme Championship Wrestling. Following his successful run in ECW, Awesome spent time working in WCW and later WWE before retiring to his native Tampa, Fla.

While in ECW, Awesome was a two-time World Champion and Tag Team Champion. His matches with Masato Tanaka, including a show-stealer at One Night Stand in 2005 were among the most memorable in ECW history.

[KingMizfit]

Yeah..thats too bad about Mike awesome. RIP dude.

All I have to say about that kennedy vs Lashley match is wow. That was a hard hitting match, and I'm looking forward to the rematch tonight, even if they are adding Hardcore Holly into the Mix.

So what you guys think about Umaga being Vince's represenative? I would have picked Khali, but maybe Trump will.....I've been hearing Trump may pick Mick Foley though.....

[jbailey84]

yea i just read about Awesome, that is insane!! R.I.P bro. thanks for the great match at One Night Stand.

i dont know if they'll have Hardcore in the rematch because he is getting elbow surgeory...again i believe. reason why Kennedy was "pushed" and return of Snitsky.

[KingMizfit]

It's already been confirmed bro. Check out the Preview for tonight on WWE.COM.

I was surprised too, since I had heard he was getting surgery as well. I don't mind him in the match...but Kennedy and Lashley did so good on their own...they don't need someone else in it.

Actually...this way Kennedy can lose without losing and still look tough, so I guess thats why.


They are having another Money in the Bank qualifying match tonight too. It's between Nitro and CM punk. The outcome should be interesting since I've heard they are both in the "doghouse".

Edge vs RVD last night was a tight, tight match. RVD also beat Shelton B in a dark match before NO WAY OUT. I've heard RVD isn't happy, but he's been looking better every week. He's added a few Kick moves to his arsenal that look just sick.

[KingMizfit]

The rumor going around now is that Lashley will be Trumps represenative at Mania and stone cold will be the guest referee.

[ChaCho]

Nah to me Trumps representative will be Jeff Hardy. I mean the man just lost his title I bet he wants it it back. As far as Stone Cold being referee, I see that very hard to happen. What if Trump gets The Rock to represent him?

[filmstudent04]

it's already been confirmed...there's a pic on wrestlezone.com go there to check it out

[jbailey84]

once its on WWE.com, I'll believe it.

why is Punk in the "doghouse"?

[jbailey84]

looks like that rumor just might be true. i went to some various sites and people reported that when they were watching the E! network on some Daily 10 show, it showed a video clip of Lashly on Trump's side, Umaga on Vince's side, and Stone Cold in the middle with a referee shirt on.

[KingMizfit]

that was the same pic dude was talking about being on Wrestlezone.

I hear Punk was in the doghouse because of his attitude....but I'm undecided on if I believe it or not.

Sometimes I think WZ.com has a vendetta against WWE and hypes wrestlers being in the "doghouse" and heading to "TNA" cuz thats what they want to see.

I know alot of net hedz were mad that CM punk snapped about people creating these fake myspace pages...and that may have gotten some nerds upset enough to spread rumors.
The way it looks to me is that he and RVD had a bad month, but now they are being pushed again.

I hate that people think cuz their favorites aren't winning WWE is crapping on them. To me...there is no point in having the same guys win over and over again...the rosters never develop that way.

[ChaCho]

WWE needs to set their priorities straight and see who they will make the next generation of Superstars. They need to get Superstars who will be their next headliners. HBK, HHH, Taker, Flair, RVD and even Batista will not be in the business forever, so they need to get the new generation of wrestlers. Yes they got Cena and Orton but two are not enough. They got people like CM and Kennedy who have played nice roles but do not really hint them on being the next big shots. Imagine WWE without the following superstars

HBK, HHH, Flair, Taker, Booker T, Kane, RVD, Edge, who do they have to keep WWE on top?

The only remaining superstars who look like they will stay are, Cena, Lashley, Batista and Orton. All the remaining superstars WWE makes them look that they could leave at any moment. I really wonder what will WWE do when the Superstars on top leave

[KingMizfit]

I see lots of promise in Kennedy. Also in guys like Carlito and the hardys. There rae quite a few newcomers that I think will become major players in the future.Remember...even the Rock was a complete dork when he started....so was HHH. I think when the time is right these guys can step it up.

I'll even be so bold as to say Kennedy will be wearing Gold before or at Judgement Day.

[DangerMouse]

Anyone know what became of ZombieMan? Did he end up getting his wrestling referee gig?

[bluehulk]

for those who want to know whot trumps guy will be !!!spoilers so beware it also shows the special gest ref.!!!http://www.wrestlezone.com/images/galleries/steve_austin_wm23_return/002.jpg

[ChaCho]

WWE needs to boost the new guys now if they want to stay on top.
Raise Kennedy, CM Punk, MVP, Finlay, and Orton he needs a championship role

[KingMizfit]

I agree man...BUT I still say they are moving at the right pace though. All the guys you mentioned will either break out this year or the next. Except I think Finlay is mainly there to help guys learn how to work....thats why he is with Boogeyman right now.

I don't know where Zombieman is either.....I do miss his input in this thread though....

[jbailey84]

yea Finlay is there helping Boogeyman to work a match. i think Kane will probably start doing the same. in that interview a while back, he has no intentions of winning the title, he stated thats for the younger guys.

Orton really needs the strap again. a Cena/Orton feud i really want to see.

[KingMizfit]

They had a good match last RAW. With Cena and HBK holding the tag straps...we'll be seeing alot of orton/cena confrontations I'm sure......



and since Edge is in the Money In the Bank match...it's still possible Orton will be added to the HBK/Cena match at Mania I suppose....

Either way I agree...Orton is ready to take the next step.

[ChaCho]

nah if they add Orton to HBK and Cena's match that will really suck. That will be like copying what happened last year when they added him to Angle and Rey's match.
To me he will go on feud with RVD

[jbailey84]

i thought Rey was added because Orton and Rey had a match at NWO to declare who would face Angle and Orton won then somehow Rey was put back in.

[ChaCho]

nah but when Rey won the royal rumble he automatically had the match set to against Angle. But Orton was added into the feud.

[KingMizfit]

and he beat Mysterio for his WM title shot at NO WAY OUT...but T-Lo added Mysterio back into the match. I wouldn't count them having Orton in the match just yet....With Cena And HBK being Faces...WWE may wanna add a heel to the match. I honestly wouldn't mind either way. Orton won't be in the MITB ladder match as the RAW spots are going to Edge and jeff hardy. What else would he be doing at Mania? Killing another legend maybe? But who?

Since Rated RKO gets their Tag team title rematch tonight, We'll see if the fued will continue....

[ChaCho]

Never mind then you are right.
If you look at it there really isnt no one Orton can go on feud on to Wrestlemania. It would suck though if they add him to one of the main events. Those two main events are perfect to me, just the way they are.
I have a question here, lets say HHH hadnt injured himself who do you think would have fought Cena for the title? HHH or HBK, or someone else? or would DX have had a completely different role?

[KingMizfit]

I'm not sure. I heard that it was gonna be HHH VS CENA again, but that never sounded right to me cuz it's a repeat of last year.

As for this Orton thing ....I've now heard the MITB ladder match will be an eight man...so It's not out of the question that orton will be in this match now. If he isn't....I have no idea where else he could end up besides the main event match. It might not be so bad though. I figure...HBK and Cena have been tag champs now...so they will have that teamwork to play off of, and then at the end the teamwork will collapse. It might be amusing having them take turns beating Orton down and then fighting each other. I dunno...a one on one match sounds better, but Orton is a top tier dude...so where else can he go besides MITB or the Main event?

[jbailey84]

yea i heard the Cena/HHH thing too.

well so far for MITB its Edge, CM Punk, and Booker T. on some various sites they announced that Kennedy & Jeff Hardy will be added to the match as well.

[Carnage Escobar]

HBK/Cena is just fine the way it is. Adding Orton would just ruin everything. One-on-One is the way that every Wrestlemania Main Event should be. But who the hell knows. Like they said, ANYTHING can happen between now and Mania.

[KingMizfit]

Yup. So far so good I say. If it is an eight man then one brand will have one less guy than the others.

Last years triple threat with Orton it in kicked ass...so did the mania 20 triple threat with HBK, HHH, and Benoit. I don't think adding Orton will RUIN the match, but it would be alot cooler to have a one on one match.

It has been officially announced that tonights MITB qualifying match will be Shelton B VS. Jeff Hardy.

[ChaCho]

very nice victory of Jeff, wonder if Benjamin did mess up or it was planned that looked like it hurt. Orton is a quality superstar and if he is added to one of the main events i guess we'll have to live with it. But I mean HBK and Cena is a really good quality match. Every match HBK has had on Wrestlemania for the title one on one he has put on a hell of a show, remember the second time he fought Bret Hart, or when he went against Stone Cold. He should be allowed to fight alone. Also I dont like this role too much were he is like this pouncing dog waiting to bite Cena in the ass. Its annoying, if HBK wants to knock out his teeth he could just do it is not like anything has stopped him before. Also the Lashley vs Umaga match could really be some crazy Wrestlemania moment. Also hoping for a Kane vs Great Khali match at Mania, that will really be entertaining.

[KingMizfit]

I'm thinking we'll get that Khali vs Kane match too. I do agree about HBK vs Cena being better one on one...but like I've said...I just can't see where else Orton can go at Mania...yet.

Looks like the Money in the Bank match WILL be an eight man. Thats should be crazy. Tonight on ECW lashley defends his title in a steel cage against Holly.

Speaking of lashley...it looks like stone cold will be the ref in his mania match afterall. They plan to announce it on RAW next week I guess, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's announced on WWE.COM before then....
anyways...It's looking like Mcmahon will be getting shaved bald. LOL.

[chewie]

Maybe Edge will pull double duty at Wrestlemania being in the MIB and also have a match with Orton. I doubt it though.

[KingMizfit]

I was thinking since Edge kinda screwed orton last night...orton may find a way to screw Edge out of his MITB match...and that would lead to a one on one match. I'm liking the sound of those two going at it. They have definately been working on an edge and orton fued for awhile...and I think Orton will end up in the face role.

[jbailey84]

looks like Test got released...again!

Orton/Edge feud can work. wouldnt mind it.

what do you all think of Lawler being inducted into the HOF? i think its too soon for him.

Kane/Khali can work is Khali doesnt botch any moves!!

[KingMizfit]

Khali has been doing better. sincerely...and I was pretty harsh on him before. The first good match I saw him have was against Hardy. Hardy helped pace the match...and it was a classic David vs Goliath encounter. I think Kane is a good enough Vet to lead Khali through the match. They had a pretty good spot on RAW last night and Khali actually SOLD the bump.
Speaking of David vs Goliath...I'm looking forward to Rey Mysterio coming back...and coming to RAW....
Thats why they had Umaga beat him down...so when he debuts on RAW..he has a good fued right away...and yes...I think this one could be awesome. It's almost comic book like.....
People seem to have forgot Rey lost a loser leaves smackdown match...so I think Friday was the right place to have him address the fans...while setting it up for him to go to RAW. I'm thinking it will be after Backlash though....

I think King is legend worthy...but guys like Owen Hart and many, many others should go first. Still...the King has had a pretty great career, and he's put his work in..so I say...Kudos to him. But yeah...it's a little premature.

LOL about Test. Man....so much for the ECW impact player eh? Thats O.K....ECW is finally heating up, and I bet you won't even notice he's gone.

[jbailey84]

yea Khali has improved some.

Lawler is a Legend, but too soon for HOF. i am really happy that Curt "Mr Perfect" Henning is inducted, well deserved.

so much for Test. i read that he got into a car wreck by running into a parked car!! idiot.

[ChaCho]

What i do not like about the Hall of Fame right now is that they induct people every year now. They should do it like every two years and induct five people at MOST. I remember at Wrestlemania 20 they had like ten people inducted. King has been a memorable dude but I dont know already in the Hall of Fame? Then they should induct Ric Flair, hes had a longer, more succesful career. But I dont know. What I know is like in 15 years i want to see inducted into the Hall of Fame The Undertaker, HBK, HHH, Stone Cold and The Rock on the same year

[KingMizfit]

Oh all those guys will get in probably sooner than later. I like the hall of fame stuff alot, and I'm glad they include the entire ceremony on the Mania DVD'S.

That cage match last night was crazy. Nothing special until the end...Lashley dove through the freaking cage and pinned Umaga underneath it! It looked good too, they didn't screw it up.

Kennedy qualified for MITB. Even though RVD got screwed he's looking better than he ever has. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the WWE will not let this guy get away. Mania is in detroit this year...and I will bet money that RVD will get his home state mania moment and then be on to bigger things in the WWE. He may even turn on the "ecw originals". Speaking of which...I was sad to see how bad sabu has gotten. I like the guy...but he stunk the joint up last night...and it was Hardcore rules no less....

Ball's and Striker may have gotten torn apart by Snitsky...but the Leg Drop balls landed of the top rope looked better than Sabu's entire match. Suprisingly..Stevie Richards vs CM Punk was the highlight match....they were evenly matched and had the same style so it was cool. CM Punk has fans...but the crowd still don't pop for certain spots during his match.

Anyways...heres some spoilers....


looks like Matt hardy and Finlay will be the next two to qualify for MITB. That makes the match
J Hardy vs. Kennedy. VS. Edge VS King Booker vs CM Punk VS M hardy VS Finlay.
Not too shabby....and one spot is still available...but I'm hoping Edge will lose his spot. I guess we'll have to see. So far no new Mania beefs kicked off on Smackdown.

[jbailey84]

yea i hope RVD will have a shining moment infront of his home state.

i read in a wrestling newsletter i get that HOGAN was the original choice for Trump but MONEY became an issue for Hogan and turned it down. he was asking for a large sum $$$$, Vince said that he would give him half of the asking price and said the other guys deserved the other half of the money, Hogan then turned down the Mania match.

greedy bastard. not like he has enough money already.

im really curious how much Kevin Nash got while working in WCW. i read somewhere that he has ALOT of money to last him a long time. wouldnt mind seeing him back in WWE, i heard he has alot of backstage heat/politics that surround him.

[KingMizfit]

I'm wondering how much TNA pays Nash......Does he still even appear on TNA shows? I thought Hogan was on some bulls **t when I read that. Why does he need the superman Payday EVERY time he wrestles?

[chewie]

They are inducting too many people each year into the hall of fame. Pretty soon there's going to be nobody left.

[KingMizfit]

I don't know about "pretty soon"...but eventually it may become a problem.

I dunno...we'll see how it goes.

[jbailey84]

so much for that WSX, looks like MTV cancelled it!

[KingMizfit]

I heard that too. If they do pick it up again they say they won't be running it up against ECW anymore. I hear alot of ECW hating...but their ratings aren't so bad.

[seaneth]

Theyre releasing a statement (MTV) apparently about WSX, so that will clear things up.

Hey all this is my first post! \o/ And i love pro wrestling

[jbailey84]

welcome to the boards

[KingMizfit]

Yeah welcome!

So it's pretty much a done deal that WSX is done...at least on MTV. They can shop the show to other networks or release stuff on DVD, so it may pop up again elsewhere I suppose.

[jbailey84]

i read that they have 6 shows recorded already.

i read that Jim Ross said that William Shatner and Sheryl Crow are two names that have been “bounced around” as potential candidates to induct his broadcast colleague Jerry “The King” Lawler into the WWE Hall of Fame.

lame...

[seaneth]

Yeah i saw this too, why doesnt JR do it?

Some TNA news here, TNAwrestling.com has announced that Hector Guerrero of the famous Guerrero family has officially joined Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.

Well, this certainly breaks the tradition of Guerrero in WWF/WWE...

[ChaCho]

what the hell is WSX?

that ending to ECW was pretty raw Lashley jumpin like that, they dont need hogan for that match, he can go back to his show.

[jbailey84]

yea i kinda like seeing Lashley/Umaga. hope their match at WM lives up to the hype.

Yea JR would be perfect to induct Lawler. speaking of "perfect", I wonder who will induct Curt Henning?

[KingMizfit]

I was thinking his father maybe......but it would be cool to have someone different do it.

As far as the King goes....I'd agree J.R. should do it. I've heard JR may be going in the HOF this year too.....and cha cho...WSX is that wrestling society X show they had running for only a month on MTV. They had guys like Vampiro, Xpac, Justin Credible, Teddy Hart, and New Jack.......

I think Lashley and Umaga will live up to the Hype. Heck...Kennedy vs Lashley at NWO was smashmouth.....so I'm thinking it can only get better with Umaga in there. Throw Stonecold in as Ref with Donald and Vince at Ringside...and I think it will deliver on both Smashmouth style and Entertainment value.

[jbailey84]

i hope they add Shelton to the MITB match. he was the highflyer with the first 2. be a shame to not see him this year :( if not him, i wonder who will get the 8th spot? RVD?

there's 4 from SD, 2 from Raw, and 1 from ECW.

[KingMizfit]

Looks like Carlito vs Flair ended in a no contest, so will there be a rematch next week? I would rather see Carlito in the MITB match, but Flair took some cool bumps last year too....
I dunno..we'll see.

[jbailey84]

i heard that the 8th spot is going too...

Orton

[KingMizfit]

That would be interesting surely. On the preview page for tonights ECW (stone cold will be appearing) it suggest they may have a MITB qualifying match....but does not confirm it. It merely asks if an ECW person will earn the last spot in MITB.

It wouldn't shock me to see Orton show up on ECW tonight since they have had MITB qualifing matches for other brands on ECW already.

On a side note...I've heard the King Jerry Lawler isn't thrilled about going into the HOF since he feels he will be viewed as old and retired.

As for the MITB...I'm hoping Edge loses his spot somehow. Last night he punked out of his match...so maybe Flair will goad him into putting his spot on the line against someone more hungry like Carlito....or himself.

[jbailey84]

well that was a curve ball with surprise appearances from Eric Bischoff, Mick Foley, and Shane.

[jbailey84]

looks like The Sheik will be inducted into the HOF none other by Sabu. so thats cool.

and looks like my spoiler might be true concerning the Triple Threat match to determine the last spot for MITB.

[KingMizfit]

Yup. It looks like you may be right dude. Should be interesting if he wins too....but I hope that won't be the whole point of the MITB match. RAW and ECW were good this week...Going by the Smackdown spoilers it sounds O.K. too.

R.I.P. to Bad news Brown. He passed away! Bummer.

Also...They are saying Benoit is coming to RAW after Maniaafter his match with MVP at Mania) so that's why we haven't been seeing much of him. He's due for a bigger role on RAW, so they are holding him back somewhat for now.

and yeah..it was crazy to see Foley, Shane, Bischoff, and Stone Cold all on the same night.

[jbailey84]

i cant believe Benoit is going against MVP at mania. super lame!! isn't Benoit the U.S. Champ? i wouldnt mind Benoit on Raw though. Benoit/HBK? or Benoit/Cena?

[DangerMouse]

BTW, I'm calling it right now.

Lashley will beat Umaga. McMahon will refuse to have his hair cut and Stone Cold will give him a stunner, after which they'll shave his head.

I know. What a stretch.:rolleyes:

[KingMizfit]

I would agree that that match is lame. I think MVP is talented in the ring though, but he's not ready for this match. Worse yet is he may actually win the U.S. title to clear way for Benoit to go to RAW. I hope not though...it's not that I despise MVP..it's just that he is not ready.
I can see all kinds of good matchups for Benoit on RAW though, but I gotta say..I was hoping he'd get a fued with Taker or Batsita on Smackdown.

[FVD]

Yes another wrestling legend has passed on indeed. I'll always remember Bad News Brown for his swerve against Bret Hart in that Battle Royal at Wrestlemania IV when the Hart Foundation were heels. The swerve caused by Brown cemented the Hitman's eventual face turn leading to a fruitful career. And that was all thanks to Bad News Brown.

I also remember his feud with Rowdy Roddy Piper. That was crazy.

And of course you cannot forget his ghetto blaster enziguri finisher which lead to an arrogant pin ala Y2J.

RIP Bad News Brown. Thank you for the memories. :(

[jbailey84]

i enjoyed his match with Piper at WM 4, too bad it ended in a Double Count Out :(

[ChaCho]

Wrestlemania is getting well prepared. They are giving it enough time to build up its mathces. Personally I cant wait for the Batista v Undertaker match, I just cant wait. Much less after the ending on friday. Stone Cold came out on Raw and just started drinking beer thats some ****. I liked his shirt, Arrive, RAISE HELL, leave

[KingMizfit]

Yeah it's good to have Stone Cold back.......I kinda missed dude. I'm looking forward to seeing Batista vs Taker too......

I wonder how long Cena and HBK will be tag champs?

[chewie]

I think they should let them hold on to them till after Wrestlemania.

[KingMizfit]

So none of the RAW tag teams will have anything to do at Mania? I've heard rumors about a Four Way tag match like they have done in years past....but maybe only smackdown will. It would be nice to see Krime Time and the worlds greatest tag team do something at Mania. Without gold on the line though...it's just another match. They were hyping this fued a while back, but then it was just dropped....from RAW anyway..
Krime Tyme has been wrestling in the heat matches lately.

[Carnage Escobar]

It was great being at Raw this past Monday for the first time in 10 years. Seeing Stone Cold live and in person was a blast. Really great show. Can't wait to see what happens tonight on Raw, Wrestlemania is shaping up to be spectacular.

[KingMizfit]

Wow! Thats awesome you were there for that. So how huge a pop did Lashley get for punking out Mcmahon?

[Carnage Escobar]

Wow! Thats awesome you were there for that. So how huge a pop did Lashley get for punking out Mcmahon?


That was from ECW. I was at RAW. The crazy thing is that I was able to get tickets literally AN HOUR before the show began. I got to sit in 19th row right behind the tv cameras front and center.


Man, it was f**king awesome. One of the best nights of my life and I got EVERYBODY on camera. Stone Cold, HBK, Cena, Vince and Shane, Edge, Randy Orton, Mick Foley, Ric Flair, Carlito, Jeff Hardy, Umaga, Maria, Melina, Mickie James, Khali, Chris Masters, hell even Ashley and the Phoenix Suns Gorilla!! You name it, I got them. I took A LOT of photos (around 150). Here are some of my favorite shots:

[ChaCho]

nice pics man.

ok the question here is, is The Rock coming back after what we saw tonight? or did he just did that for a little push on advertising for wrestlemania

[KingMizfit]

yeah those are cool pics man! Looks like you had a blast!

I don't know if the Rock is coming back. It seems like it was just something to hype the B.O.T.B. match.....but I would love to see dude around again.

So Orton is in the MITB match now, and he has to fight Lashley tonight on ECW. JBL is taking on HBK next week? Thats what I read......though I don't know why this is happening.

[chewie]

I don't think the Rock will every be back besides a match at a Wrestlemania or the occasional trip to Raw every 3 years.

[KingMizfit]

Yeah...your probably right.

So you guys check out ECW? It was pretty tight last night. Tommy Dreamer won the New breed vs. Originals Battle royal, and Mick Foley came out with some words of support....

Snitsky beat up two guys at once in his OFFICIAL ECW debut.....
and Elijah Burke is trying to get CM Punk to join the NB....and CM looks like he may be considering it too...burke told him he could win MITB at Mania with the NB's support......

Then Orton and Lashley had their match, and the rivalry between edge and orton heated up some more.
Kellys expose was hot as usual...but Snitsky had to show up and chase the chicks off! Bummer.

[ChaCho]

I watched the Battle Royal, it was very good in my opinion.
Still did not like the main event, i dont like the fact that the main event Lashley has to always fight for some reason with someone he does not have role with, on monday edge told vince he should let orton fight him, and that was it. i dont get it, it seems incredible ecw just cant build a nice main event role

[KingMizfit]

I think they will after Mania.....

ECW has pretty good booking at mania. The originals vs the new breed, and cm in the MITB match....
After it's over...I expect someone new to step up to lashley and then we'll go from there...

[jbailey84]

Woooo!!

[KingMizfit]

I know...I know... exciting right? LOL.

So Mark Henry is ready to return....he squashed funaki in a match on the WWE Mexico tour. They also have Mysterio involved in the lashley vs Umaga fued(on the mexico tour)...and he may be responsible for Umaga losing at Mania which will hype his return and move to raw and give him an angle with Umaga. I guess we'll see....

[ChaCho]

Wrestlemania 23 picks:

World Heavyweight Champion Batista vs. Undertaker - Do I need to say it? ok it is like this, Batista is a really strong and awsome wrestler, he has been a very big impact Champion. But come on, first off is The Undertaker, on his turf Wrestlemania. Also he is 14 - 0. He will make it 15 - 0. And become a 5 time World Heavyweight Champion.

WWE Champion John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels - Another same example. John Cena is an awsome wholehearted wrestler. But this is HBK, the showstopper, the headiner, , the main event, the icon. A man who has shined time and time again on Wrestlemania. He has put on performances only people can dream about. One that comes most to mind was at Wrestlemania XX when he had the last chance to challenge for the Championship at Wrestlemania, this time he wont pass it up.

Battle of the Billionaires - This match is just big names fused with shining coming-up ones. I dont care who wins all I know is this match is going to be hellraised. Stone Cold, Vince, Donald, Lashley and Umaga, this is some ****.

Money in the Bank Ladder Match - I have liked the last two matches at Wrestlemania so I am hoping for a big show now that is going to be eight men fighting. I say Orton wins. He's time is due to be in a main event role.

ECW Originals vs. New Breed - Two words, dont care. apart from the battle royal couple weeks ago, dont care much about this story line.

Women's Champion Melina vs. Ashley - This is a really hot match i hope they both win.

Kane vs. The Great Khali - A destruction match. Awsome. Hope Kane wins.

United States Champion Chris Benoit vs. MVP - MVP it is still a newbie, Chris Benoit got Wrestlemania experience.

[SJBKAT]

Batista is a crap wrestler, but the fans just like him. I could see him going heel if he beats Taker, so I think Taker is due for a title reign now.

HBK has got the beat Cena. Cena is all talk and I think that his time has passed. But since I heard that he and McMahon hang out a lot backstage, I would not be shocked to see Cena retain the title.

Anything ECW related is boring now and all they are trying to do is make the Originals look bad.

I say Benoit loses because I heard he was moving to Raw soon after Mania, so a title drop will be in the cards for him.

I am rooting for Orton to win the MITB match. The man needs to be at a main event level.

[Oliver Queen]

Cena is still the best they have on Raw other than Edge. He cuts a good promo and is till solid in the ring. Granted he needs to stop yelling through all of his mic time but he is still the best they have

Orton is decent but still an ******* backstage and on the juice. Neither of that adds up to top draw

Edge should win MITB and then go up against Taker in a solid feud to pass the torch and finally retire Taker

the rest I don't care about really

Wrestlemania 23 picks:

World Heavyweight Champion Batista vs. Undertaker*

WWE Champion John Cena* vs. Shawn Michaels

Battle of the Billionaires - Lashley

Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Orton

ECW Originals vs. New Breed - Originals

Women's Champion Melina vs. Ashley - Melina

Kane vs. The Great Khali - Kane

United States Champion Chris Benoit vs. MVP - Benoit

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I see Cena retaining the title maybe to lose it at Backlash or maybe even Vengeance since it will be in Houston, TX.

Orton needs the spotlight of going for the gold again.

NEWS REGARDING WHAT MATCH WILL HEADLINE WRESTLEMANIA

It has been confirmed that Cena vs. HBK will be the last match taking place at WrestleMania on Sunday. In an article on SI.com, Batista said that he and Undertaker will steal the show like Ricky Steamboat and Randy Savage did in 1987 at WrestleMania 3. "We're going to give them a match they're going to remember. I guarantee it. We're going to tear the house down." Also, Batista and Undertaker were reportedly mad that they weren't going to be in the main event for the show.

Batista vs. Undertaker is scheduled to headline the Smackdown house shows after WrestleMania.

not bad on my picks 6-2. i've read on various sites that it was a last minute change having Taker win the title.

[Starwars411]

I can't wait for tonight cause I get to see Raw live, and I'm gonna be lmao when I see McMahon.

wrestling has becoms lame as hell and is so fn predictable you can predict winners month in advance. Vince has become to arrogant and moronic to do anything outside of the box and actually make **** interesting and exciting. TNA is only a little bit better

that was a mistake... time for take to pass on the torch.. he's like 92 years old.... Bastisa needs to lay off the steriods though....

getting sick of Cena....

I really hope the rumors are true, and the wwe brings back the outlaws..... part of DX again... it's cool having DX back, but they need more then two members..... because look what happens, one gets hurt... and your stuck with one peson calling themselves DX... kind of lame.....

So does that mean that you predicted money in the bank right? All the other matches were pretty predictable in my eyes, but not that one. Anyone of 4 people I thought had a chance.


I don't mind Cena. It's not as bad now as it was when HHH was champ 3 or 4 years ago. Now that got old.

[Astronomic Forks]

See, I complained about HHH being champ and hogging the title back then. But I'd glady take those days over Cena's reign.

[Sarge]

not bad on my picks 6-2. i've read on various sites that it was a last minute change having Taker win the title.It was booked that way for months, as far as I know. In late 2006, they had considered having Batista end the streak, but he botched his second title reign terribly, and reportedly his attitude backstage didn't help things. So I'm pretty sure that they penciled in Taker to win the title in like, December or January.

[Simba]

I think one of the main problems they had, is if they had let someone like batista end the streak, then it would have rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

The decision was made for Undertaker to win the title in early January, before he won the Royal Rumble. The decision hasn't been questioned since, only the type of match it would be was up in arms.

The reason they teamed together alot was to get a feel of each others ring nature without actually having a match before wrestlemania.

The internet reports stating batista would win were made purely on in-accurate press releases, which is when companies like Sky try to predict what will happen at future PPV's.

Heres something for you..

"Dave Meltzer appeared on the Live Audio Wrestling radio show on Sunday night after WrestleMania and he said that Shawn Michaels was extremely upset and unhappy with his match against John Cena. When he got backstage, he was screaming about how terrible he thought it was.

After the match had concluded, there was a spot where HBK abruptly walked away from a Cena handshake attempt which was not scripted, as they were supposed to shake hands. Michaels was red hot at Cena for not selling his leg that he spent the first few minutes of the match working on. Also, several of the agents were unhappy with Cena for that as well. In fact, you could see during the match that HBK got in Cena's face and started cutting a shoot promo on him, which is why the audio went out for a few seconds and was replaced with crowd noise."

[DOG LIPS]

Poor HBK. You just don't cross the Super Cena. Now they really will make him a heel. :(

[Inval1d]

i couldnt find the ECW thread so i will just put it in here.

Tonight's ECW main event was truley one of thes best. Bringing back the old style ECW to the new style.

Great match.

2 nice table spots and alot of hard hitting chairs, signs, and cans.

this might be the only great match for a while but i sure enjoyed it.

[Astronomic Forks]

That main event tonight was amazing. I'm diggin Burke :up:

[Simba]

Poor HBK. You just don't cross the Super Cena. Now they really will make him a heel. :(

Other way round i feel.
HBK will always be one of the elite three superstars backstage that you don't want to cross.

[jbailey84]

the other two Undertaker and HHH?

[carnage4u]

i did catch the final match on ecw while I was flipping channels. I stopped going out of my way to watch it after 2 minutes into their first show.

I will say the final match was enjoyable....

Dave made no mention of it on LAW.

[jbailey84]

well this years Wrestlemania was alright. the only highlights was the sick spot in the MITB & the Undertaker/Batista match. i didnt like how early in the card that match was.

i was disappointed that Shelton Benjamin wasnt in the MITB because he was totally the MVP of the past 2. this years was alright though. Kennedy doing his finisher to Little Bastard was something alright.

[Astronomic Forks]

^Shelton and Charlie are being underused.

[jbailey84]

yes they are big time. maybe they'll have a feud with the Hardyz.

i also think Carlito is underused too. he should be the IC Champ, not Umaga.

[Warhammer Zero]

Carlito needs to ditch Flair, Torrie, and all that shyit.
He needs to turn back into a heel or become a decent face. Then he needs the IC, most definitely.

I also agree with WGTT being underused. They are possibly the best tag team on RAW. They definitely need to use more of Cryme Time, as well.

[Prognosticator]

Poor HBK. You just don't cross the Super Cena. Now they really will make him a heel. :(

So how does this work? Do you basically come over here and say the same things you say at SHH? Only now you're saying it "twice" instead of "once"? :P

[Prognosticator]

Carlito needs to ditch Flair, Torrie, and all that shyit.


Flair needs to be GM of RAW again :( He's best on the mic anyways, so he might as well be on it every week, saying cool stuff, and humiliating everyone :up:

...Cause as much as I hate to say it, he's really sucking as a wrestler lately :(

**I'm sorry, Naitch!**

[jbailey84]

well rumor has it that Foley is wanting to be GM

[Prognosticator]

Yeah, I heard that rumor. He'll be okay. Foley patronizes the fans a bit too much IMO, but he's great on the mic too!

[Warhammer Zero]

I prefer Ric as GM. He and Vince going at it were good times. :)

[Prognosticator]

And it would be great to see him sweating through/tearing off his suit in the middle of the ring on a regular basis!

[Warhammer Zero]

and doing the woo! 10x, falling on his face, and elbow dropping the ring.

[Prognosticator]

hell yes!!! the unecessary elbow drop is my favorite move all-time behind the "Flair Flop".

Probably when he pops up on RAW and challenges Cena, which will then lead to an odd feud, then an eventual Ken tap out. :meanie:

Ugh, I don't want SD! to feed any of their superstars to the Cena.

[DOG LIPS]

Well, they're running out of RAW guys, and The Cena is hungry. :(

[Astronomic Forks]

The Cena can get a huge helping of Mizzark in a few months.

I know it'll never happen but that'd be awesome.

[DOG LIPS]

It would be awesome, but then they'd just build up this huge fight just to have Cena push through and win. :rolleyes:

Glad Taker's gettin a long title run

Don't what that means for Kennedy though :(

[Warhammer Zero]

Undertaker better retire with giving the belt to Mr. Kennedy.
No way does Bastista need the belt again. Let him feud with somebody else.

One thing though.
WWE NEEDS to do another DRAFT!
It should be a rule to do a draft every year, like they did years ago. I remember them doing at least 2 or 3 of them in a row.

[-HR-]

I doubt Taker will be champ any longer than Summerlsam at the latest
