RIVALRY RENEWED APRIL 14, 2005 Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle, two men who have given fans some of the most memorable matches in recent WWE history, will face off this week in Chicago as part of GM Theodore Long's SmackDown! Championship Series. Both men need a victory to stay alive for a chance to next challenge John Cena for the WWE Championship Last week, JBL barley stayed alive by defeating Rey Mysterio. Of course, Guerrero, Mysterio’s WWE Tag Team Championship partner, probably cost Mysterio the victory when his temper flared up and he interfered. Also, Carlito, fresh off his WrestleMania 21 appearance on Piper’s Pit, will debut with his Carlito's Cabana interview segment. And what’s on John Cena’s agenda just two weeks into his first WWE Championship reign? Cena announced last week he would modify the WWE Championship to reflect his persona. Don’t miss SmackDown! on UPN (8/7 CT). Kurt Angle Vs Eddie Guerrero, the debut of Carltio's Cabana, the NEW WWE Championship! I'am watch'in.

Yeah, that pic is on numerous John Cena topics already.

JBL > Lance Storm

At a launch event for the Celebrity Wrestling TV Show, Roddy Piper claimed that he recently signed a five-year deal with World Wrestling Entertainment. At this point, no confirmation is available about a potential deal with Piper, and it's not as if wrestlers have not made erroneous claims about possessing contracts in the past. However, Piper is definitely on the record making the claim. He also stated that he will be filming a movie in China and doing a show in Las Vegas, so an on-air WWE return is not at all imminent. This website will feature more on this story in the coming days.

IMO, I think the belt looks pretty damn cool.

yeah, because as we all know, Triple H and RANDY ORTON are the only Main-Eventers in the WWE by the way, SmackDown >>> Raw

never said I was a fan. just liked him better than matt.

To me, I just think everyone is making to damn of a big deal over this stupid story. Lita is fucking Edge, Edge is fucking Lita, Lita is fucking Matt, Matt is fucking Edge. I DON'T CARE. it really isn't mine or any of our bissniess, let Matt, Edge and Lita deal with it. I only like wrestlers based on what they do on TV and IMO, I've always like Edge over Matt and though he was a better wrestler. I could see Edge becoming World Champion something this year while all I see for Matt is a couple of IC title runs and thats it.

Just as we couldn't get enough of this freakin story, another topic is made.

Take it for what its worth. but....the new WWE Championship?

source: WWE.com Shannon Moore has been released from World Wrestling Entertainment. WWE wishes him the best in his future endeavors.

Should I be scared? only if your a "wrestling traditionlist"

And if anyone wants a glimps of what the new WWE title looks like... Taken from the ProWrestling.com website... Big @ss WWE Symbol in the middle..and its a spinner. I kinda wish it wasn't a spinner...and wwe symbol was so way huge. Lots of Gold though.

this is why.. ITS...NOT...A...BIG...DEAL! its still the WWE title, with a new look(for now), Stone Cold did it to with the Smoking Skul belt and it was just as gimicky. the fans are gonna jump all over it, when you turn on SD!, theres gonna be tons of replica Worldlife WWE titles and signs just like the Spinner US title. its gonna be a instant money maker for the WWE. the new WWE title design could only be seen as a positive thing. the only people pissed off about it are "Wrestling Traditionalist" as Cena saids it. and quite franky, he was right.

Batman: the animated series. that was such a kickass show. it was dark, pretty violent and it pretty much protrayed batman the way he should be. The new Batman show they have now is absolute shit.

A SPINNING WORLD TITLE!!1?? OMG!111! PRO WRESTLING IS DOOMED!

Really, at this point. I don't see how anyone can like the Raw Brand over SmackDown! right now. I'am really interested in seeing how the new WWE Championship is gonna look like. Eddie Vs Angle should be a damn good match no doubt. Paul London, the cruiserweight Champion in an actual storyline over the cruiserweght title! Carlito's Cabana, with the whole MNM/Rey Mysterio thing. Heidenreich getting face pop? Booker Vs Angle feud this show is stacked. I'am really looking forward to it.

you make alot of good points. but to me, as a fan. I just watch WWE to be entertained.

While I do enjoy the like of Jericho,Benoit,Edge,Kane,Trish,Shelton,Simon Dean, Flair and Batista on SD!, I enjoy watching JBL,Eddie,Angle,Undertaker,Rey,Big Show,Cena,Booker,RVD,Carlito,London, and the cruiserweights so for me, theres more people on SD! I enjoy watching than Raw.

You cant be serious? um, yeah. SmackDown has been putting on better shows pretty much all of 2005 and with the whole tournment they got right now, it could only get better. we got Eddie Vs Angle this week. would you rather see that or freakin Triple H Vs JR? also, SD! doesn't have the shitty Diva search contest that everyone is dying to see. so yeah bud, I'am serious.

Well, at least I got SmackDown! to look foward to this summer.

Exactlly, which is why I always wonder why people were upset that Triple H didn't go to Smackdown! last year. I for one, am GLAD Triple H didn't go to SmackDown! and turned it into another Triple H show. we got JBL instead of him after last year's draft which was a huge plus. JBL has been loads more entertaining than Triple has been throughout 2004. SmackDown! right now pretty much revolves around the WWE Championship like you said. with the whole tournment going, and Cena getting much needed airtime. it really makes the WWE title look like a big deal. I think its also refreshing to have Mysterio in the mix even thought theres no chance of him ever winning. On Raw, Triple H seems to be the ONLY guy going after the World Title. while everyone else is doing their own thing. how much air time as Batista gotten these past two weeks as Champion? right now, SD! is doing a better job with their Champion.

Which is why I will always consider SmackDown! to be the much better Brand. their Main-Event Division is much more fresher than Raws. Raw's Main-Event scene consist of Triple H and the "Flavor of the month". And you make a good point, pretty much all of SD!'s past Champions including the current Champion have been new to the Main-Event scene which saids alot about how well SD! does a good job with pushing new talent to the Main-Event, and you can gurentee that the next WWE Champion will be just as good. Same can't be said for Raw because theres always the fear of Triple H gaining the title back. Lets see, SmacKDown! has the WWE title tournment in place right now, while Raw has Triple H talking everyweek for 20 min and the up-coming Diva search. hmmm, its safe to say that SmackDown! is gonna have a much brighter summer than Raw will.

agreed, for some reason though, everyone else does.

I never really cared for Matt Hardy much ever sence he moved to Raw, So no big lost. to me anyways. theres still plenty of superstars in the WWE I enjoy watching more than him.
