Copied and pasted from the "Save Wrestlemania" thread. I'm lazy.

 

Here's what I'd like to see:

 

Main Event for the World Title

Kurt Angle © vs. Rey Mysterio

The obvious choice and a much better (in all likelihood) main event than Angle/Orton, as much as I like Orton. A lot of backstory, and an easy set-up for a great match and a happy ending.

 

WWE Championship

Edge © vs. HHH

HHH as the face here, which if he quits cutting promos on Eddie is an easy enough turn. They need to keep Edge's heel character strong. Let him win the belt back at Saturday Night's Main Event. Ideally, let him go over Triple H, but no one could be that delusional. At least having him win it again puts him on a level with Cena, despite losing to the "King of Kings."

 

Interpromotional Match

John Cena vs. Randy Orton

Here's how you do it. Have Orton talking about how he's sick of everyone hearing about John Cena being the future of the WWE. He's the Legend Killer, and he's going to kill John Cena's legend before it starts. Orton costs Cena the WWE Title at SNME, and we're good.

 

Shawn Michaels vs. The Rock

Vince McMahon brings the Rock back in to show HBK how business is done. Simple enough. Let the McMahons get involved -- there's nothing on the line, so this should be a "fun," very spotty match. If you can't get Rock, use Shane, and have Vince as special guest referee in any case.

 

Intercontinental Title

Shelton Benjamin © vs. Rob Van Dam

It'd be fun. There's no reason to extend Benjamin/Flair and RVD/Carlito past SNME, and this gives both men something to do. I'd like to see Van Dam go over here and have both men trade the belt a couple times afterward.

 

United States Title

Booker T © vs. Chris Benoit vs. Finlay

I was tempted to throw OJ in here, but a Triple Threat is cooler, and if OJ is getting the new character, it doesn't hurt to keep him off TV for awhile. Upsell the WCW history over the US Title and there's suddenly a story to be told. I don't care who goes over, as long as it's not an Irish guy who likes to fight. Benoit would be best.

 

The Undertaker vs. Mark Henry

Undertaker will get his big pop against a shockingly somewhat over Mark Henry, it'll be impressive to the casual fan, and the streak is alive. Plus, both men are in this match, preventing them from ruining other matches.

 

Tag Team Turmoil Unification Match

Big Show and Kane © vs. MNM © vs. Carlito and Masters vs. The Mexicools vs. Cade & Murdoch vs. The Dicks

Who are we kidding? I was scraping bottom to find six teams. Let the tag champs either float, or move exclusively to SmackDown. Cade and Murdoch would be a nice surprise (well, a surprise, anyway). I see it MNM eliminating the Raw champs via some chicanery, and it getting to them vs. Carlito and Masters. Masters acts tweenerish, he's getting some cheers, but Carlito turns on him after weeks of "abuse" from Masters, setting up their feud and giving MNM their due. Not like they're great or anything, but they're the best we got.

 

Ric Flair vs. Mick Foley

Not likely, but I can dream. It'd give Mania some needed star power and be a hell of a mark-out moment. Let Foley play heel and let Flair pop the crowd.

 

Cruiserweight Championship Battle Royal

Gregory Helms © vs. FUNAKI~! vs. Jamie Noble vs. Paul London vs. Brian Kendrick vs. Nunzio vs. Kid Kash vs. Chavo Guerrero

Or do another "Texas Tornado" match, or whatever. Just something to get the belt on the show. Chavo winning would make a great moment.

 

Women's Championship

Trish Stratus © vs. Mickey James

The obvious, and a real potential sleeper. Let Psycho Mickey go over, and let her really brutalize Trish, and bring some surprise to the normally face-friendly event.

 

 

Not that anyone reads this, but if anyone has any comments, fire away.

I may comment at length later, but for now I'll just say that's easily a better show than any of the ones posted in the thread in the WWE folder.

Well, thank you, Alf.

 

I really think that they could use Saturday Night's Main Event as a springboard for a lot of stuff. I hope they do something of note. It's the same as NYR -- when you show that major events can take place at minor shows, it makes people want to tune in.

A few things:

 

If they're really wanting to put the title on Orton, then I say have UT go over Angle at NWO, then have Orton beat him clean at Mania, winning the title and ending the streak all at once. It's a pretty big risk to use that rub on a guy that has never really been bought in the ME, but if they're really serious about him, it's worth a shot at this point. And if that doesn't cement him in the ME, then yeah, they may as well give it up.

 

If they must have Henry on the card, I say feed him to Lashley and be done with him.

 

I would assume if you take that road, you still go with Rey vs Booker after Booker costs Rey the title shot at NWO, but then I don't know what you do with Angle or Benoit. I guess they could face each other, even though that feud's honestly been done to death.

 

I can't see Foley being the heel in a feud against Flair. I just can't, even if Flair is a face now.

 

Stick Cena in with Edge and HHH. Edge *really* should still have the title here, but since Cena has it, HHH should be the one to lay down if they're really not "giving up" on Edge. But since it's not mandatory for him to job, he probably won't.

 

If Shawn is done as a full-time guy after Mania as has been rumored, then someone should get the big rub from him here. I think Shelton is the obvious choice.

 

Then go ahead and do RVD/Carlito for the IC.
