Darkseid would own Thanos. Dr. Doom vs. Luthor would be a never ending battle where neither guy ever truly wins. I ain't touching the Magneto one. Logically, GL should be able to win, but Marvel writers have bumped up Magneto's power to ridicules levels in recent years to allow him to be able to manipulate traces of iron in people's blood, fly through space unprotected, alter the Earth's entire magnetic field, and have alter sales figures to make himself the center of multiple shitty company-wide crossovers.

You know, this main event will be worth it just to hear Teddy long say, "Batista, at No Way Out, you'll be facing...KANE!"

I think you misunderstood what I said. What I meant was there are other people capable of having that match with him, but he can't do it with *everyone*. So, just like how Shawn got over with the Rockers, then. Wait....did someone just call Shelton a monkey?

Rudy Guiliani.

The ultimate goal in pro-wrestling is to make money. The best way to do that is to make fans pay for matches they want to see. But, for the sake of argument, let's look at it from a "rub" perspective, then. Batista beats Undertaker at Wrestlemania. People WANT to tune in because you have the undefeated champion versus someone who is undefeated at WM. That's a big deal that should squeeze a few thousand more buys. Batista ends Taker's streak, and becomes known as "the guy who beat Taker at Mania". He becomes a bigger star than he was before, possibly causing a boost in stuff like house show attendance and TV ratings. THEN, another guy comes along to challenge Batista. Batista, because he's a huge star, gives a rub to the new guy. Batista eventually retires, but the new guy has a main event run, and eventually gives another new guy a rub. The cycle continues. When you put a guy over, you're not just making him a star, but you're giving him a tool to make other guys stars years down the road. That's why it doesn't make any sense for Taker not to put guys over, because he's limiting guys he refusing to job to the capacity to help make other guys years down the road. But this is the obvious point you're missing, in this fantasy world where Taker chooses to job at WM, someone ELSE could take Taker's streak, and Batista could also lose the title, thus creating two new stars (while keeping two old ones) instead of having one match that doesn't truly benefit either man win, lose or draw. I hate Orton, but if he beat Batista convincingly at WM, and someone like Lashley or some other person they want to make an instant star beat Undertaker on the same show then you've doubled your number of reasons to have people watch SD the following week. I also don't think too many people who wouldn't have purchased WM anyway would do so simply because Batista was fighting Undertaker so the idea that making fans pay to see this match which would still be no higher than 2nd or 3rd from the top is kind of silly. The obvious thing YOU are forgetting is that you can't name two credible people who could believably beat either guy. Ultimately what've I've been finding is that NO MATTER WHO ends Undertakers streak, someone will argue that person wasn't good enough for whatever reason. I don't see the down side of letting that person be the champion, given that the champion is usually the person who carries the company. Smackdown is, essentially, "the Dave Batista Show". If Batista's popularity goes up, it helps Smackdown.

Those aren't regulation blue jeans.

World Heavyweight Championship Batista vs. Undertaker WWE Championship Cena vs. HHH Women's Title 4 Way Ladder Match Trish Stratus vs. Victoria vs. Lita vs. Mickie James Intercontinental Championship Shelton Benjamin vs. Rob Van Dam Cruiserweight Battle Royal Those are the matching I'd want to see. The other 3-4 matches they'll have to book to fill up the card don't matter to me.

Geez, talk about nitpicking. Quit acting like he's got Axl Rose hair. His hair's not more than an inch long on the top, and FOR ALL YOUR KNOW could stand up like that naturally. If his hair was longer on the sides, I could see your point, but there's nothing unrealistic about his haircut in that picture. I think a Marine SGTMAJ would be more concerned with why he's not wearing head gear. Besides, as someone already pointed out, the scene may be taking place while he's no longer active duty.

WHAT?!? The only bangs in that picture are the ones coming out of the gun.

Not to mention that people would actually WANT to see the match, which is more than you can say for any other match-up on Smackdown. I don't get this whole "there's nothing to gain" mentality. The gain is that you give the fans a match-up they've never seen before and get yourself a bigger buy rate. You're reasoning makes no sense. First of all, you can always get a bigger buy rate. Its not like there's a cap on how much money you're allowed to make off of one PPV. Second, there's no reason Batista has to loose since he's actually the younger star of the two.

IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE AN AWARD!!!!!!

I guess nobody is watching the "Best" of Smackdown tonight.

How the hell could be orchestrating if he was trapped in the the entire time Villians United was going on? Did he fucking sneak out while nobody was looking? This makes no sense!

Randy Orton wouldn't be on my WM card, because in my fantasy world he's out with an injury.

That would require Bret to actually read it, which I doubt he's inclined to do. He seems to know the gist of it. Quite frankly, he shouldn't read it. It's not worth his time. If he doesn't read, then he shouldn't review it. And I doubt he'd even want to review it for exactly that reason. I don't want him to review it. It'd be a huge waste of time for everyone. I love this board. Even when we agree, we still gotta argue about it.

Because discussions of anal sex have so much to do with pro wrestling. because every single thread in the WWE folder stays on the specified topic every single time... Because even a remotely significant percentage of off topic threads discuss anal sex? Hey, free speech, and all that, but I'm just saying people shouldn't be surprised this place is 99.9% men. In other words...

I know it pisses me off when I watch movies and soldiers/sailors get called by the wrong rank, or their hair is way too long, or their ribbons are on the wrong side of their uniform, but if you can honestly tell me his haircut is out of regulation (given you can't see the top and the sides are exactly the right length), you must be looking at a different picture than I am. And the gripe about the camoflauge face paint is just nitpicking considering you don't know the context of the scene.

Agreed.

Okay, I see your point. My problem with Time is that this is the same recognition they've given to people like Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin. Its okay to give it to someone with a negative reputation because its not supposed to be an endorsement, but an acknowledgment of who made the biggest mark on the world in a given year.

And your grade in science class was...?

On that note, when viewed today, that "Monday Night Wars" DVD they did a couple of years ago is even more hilarious.
