Hawk 34

Stacy would be smart to just LEAVE wwe. She doesn't need it anymore and unlike Sable, Chyna and Torrie, she didn't need to expose herself or whore herself out. Stacy is now a mainstream star because of Dancing with the Stars, she could easily parlay that into an actual career in movies and television.

You'll have to deal with Batista coming back in the summer though but if you give him Benoit and Angle to work with at the main event with the others all alternating. To be honest, I think Batista/Taker could be a lot of fun on top. It'd be an interesting match, that's for sure because Batista has completely dominated since his push in late 2004 and despite a clean pinfal loss tonight, Undertaker is still the Undertaker.

You'll have to deal with Batista coming back in the summer though but if you give him Benoit and Angle to work with at the main event with the others all alternating. Hell make JBL/Regal a tag-team, I think their arrogant high class yet stiff tastes would make a good partnership. It's just a shame that Orton's presence fucks everything up. Just shift him back to Raw and send...Val Venis over to Smackdown. That is about even enough.

I think they can top it. I think they are both motivated enough to push themselves to top it. And obviously Taker is willing to give Kurt Angle quite a bit without overusing the Zombie nonsense. I think they can push each other to something really special. And it'll be wasted on free tv. Be it on Smackdown or SNME.

Well, everyone seems to disapprove of him, and he's causing a lot of strife. WWE could cut their ties with him and say its not working out, or they could keep punishing Punk, themselves, us, and TNA by keeping him. They will have no problems keeping his squared away in OVW for 2 years and after 10 OVW world title reigns.

What about Benoit/Taker? dis-regard the US Title (Benoit can easily drop that to Finlay, JBL, Regal, Booker etc, if need be). I would imagine that'd be better then Taker/Henry and Benoit/JBL (Which is what i am expecting). Or Benoit/Regal...fuck. Too many options and we'll end up with Taker/Henry and Benoit/Jordan, I am sure of it.

Ya know, the flu is a very bad thing. It could spread and get the entire locker room sick as well. I mean, It could wipe out the entire smackdown side. Randy Orton needs to step up and take a well deserved six week break to heal from the flu.

This is the push Angle should have had in 2001, or 2002 or 2004...

MAYBE 250,000 households saw tonight's match. Just because you saw it and loved it doesn't mean it's the best way to go, especially when they would likely duplicate the match (HBK/Angle anyone?). Sacrificing Kurt to Taker's ego would be insanely counterproductive at this point because you know Taker's ready for another 4-6 month vacation after Mania, while Kurt could lose an arm in a match and would still try to make the next taping. I don't believe in sacrificing the best guy you've got for a single night, especially when he was made to look awful for months at a time by Cena, who will also be sacrificed on the same show. The world does not need a HHH/Undertaker headed WWE. Think of the children. Unlike Shawn/Angle, Undertaker and Angle would actually build off tonight's match. Putting Randy Orton, unover as he is as your champion is also counterproductive. Sticking Mysterio in there, who has come off as a total loser for losing tonight's match isn't doing any favors.

No thanks. It's bad enough for the Rumble winner to put his shot on the line, but for the GM to null it completely? And Orton has already beated Undertaker at Summerslam. The meaning of the rumble winner having a title shot was blown to hell tonight and it's not like a Rumble winner hasn't ended up not getting the title shot @ Mania before anyways. I mean, If you want to let meaningless stuff like the now worthless rumble stipulation to force us into what will be an atrocious match, fine.

The WWE doesn't need Taker as a champion, But they need RANDY ORTON? Taker as champ necessitates either a long run, or a short reign with a fluke title loss. Neither is good. Orton could drop the title the following SD and no one would complain. He's a transitional champ, while they'd more than likely try to stretch this last Taker run out or just do the title swap to preserve his meaningless streak and then have him drop it back to Kurt or to Orton, which makes me say "why bother?" doing that match at all. We just saw it with Cena/Edge/Cena and I can't see Taker bringing the workrate this soon after his annual effort to show he's still got something. Against Angle @ Mania? He'd fucking bring it. He always brings it with good people in the ring. Why bother? Because it'd be a good match that has alot of interest because of tonight's match and people would interested to see if Angle can pin him again, this time with the streak on the line. That is a HELL of a lot more interesting the Randy Vs Kurt.

This is like, the 3rd time someone lost their title shot. No, Undertaker/Angle III needs to happen for the World Title. Benoit/Orton/Mysterio/Booker for the US Title. Do Benoit/Taker at Judgment Day or whatever. At this point, Orton/Angle can't happen and sticking Rey, who looks like a uber-loser in the WM main event would kill the show.

I'd turn Rey into a whiney face complaining that Randy cheated, and challenges him to a rematch. Benoit goes to Rey and bitches at him for being a cry-baby, Rey gets defensive. Booker T also puts in his title shot re-match clause that night. Rey/Orton goes first with it going 10 minutes, until Booker T comes out. They play up that Booker owns Randy that favor. Benoit charges out and during it all, Booker fucks up and costs Randy the match. Rey gets the cheap pin and is now the #1 contender again. Orton comes out to Booker but Mysterio comes out and screws up and costs Benoit the title. Booker is the new champion. Meanwhile, Teddy Long is baffled by this and can't figure anything out and makes a decision. Due to the confusion caused by the recent on-goings...The Undertaker is re-named the #1 contender due to a strong performence and that the US Title will be between Orton/Rey/Booker/Benoit. That'd clear up the entire mess. Undertaker wins the match, takes a 2 month reign where Orton FINALLY beats Undertaker for the title. Rey finally gets his moment in the sun by pinning Booker T to win the US Title. That leads to the perfect timing of Batista coming back to chase Orton for his World Title.

War Games 1987, 1991 and 1992.

The WWE doesn't need Taker as a champion, nor do they need a screwy finish. The odds of Taker agreeing to job twice in a row, cleanly to the same guy AND lose his WM streak in the process is just something I don't think can accurately be calculated. I want a good show, and a great match. Go ahead and put the title on Taker for a month, it's not like they haven't done it before. *I know I was against this a couple months ago, but jesus christ, RANDY ORTON? No. Undertaker is still a better option* WM, as it is right is a bust. salvage it by either giving us Taker/Angle III or Benoit/Taker. With the latter, you get the quality and less political hassle.

Shit, at this point they need to just scrape all the "plans" they had and just put Angle/Taker III (we will ignore everything prior to the SD match) as the main event. The show is heading to bust-land, just admit and do a bunch of quickie set up and go for the work-rate crowd.

To be fair, I can't tell who is who either. Why are the names on the middle of the back? Aside from Yao and Shaq, it's kinda hard to tell who is who in those ugly jerseys.

^-The Diamond Cutter is Jay Z's thing, no matter what DDP claims. Okay, I'll go ahead and say it. These uniforms are horrid. It looks like two league teams at the 'Y'.

Anyone want to elaborate on what Batista is saying?

That was...interesting.

"Hiatus", which meant "We need to prove Beyonce doesn't need the other two", then they got back "together", so Beyonce doesn't look like she abandoned the group. She'll do another solo album in 2007 and probably one last stint with the group after that before going solo for good. Why do I know this?

Like UTSU incorrectly said about Gibson and ROHbots, TRAINED SEALS. man, Rudo might get his wish. It looks like they are building to something with Finaly/JBL already, just get Regal and Benoit/Burchill involved.

Who said anything about lovable? He is Benoit Jr because he is very similar in style and delivery as Benoit. I wasn't saying build him as "the next Benoit", I was saying he is the modern Benoit. Junior wrestler who can do alot of great stuff in all styles from High-flying, mat-based and brawling. Gibson CAN deliver inside that ring, it's a matter of WWE not letting him do that. Who said anything about building the company around him? Of course, you can't build around Gibson. They couldn't do that with Benoit. They also can't build around Orton, either but that hasn't stopped them. Bottom line, Gibson can work, can get over with the crowd and can carry the cruiserweight ranks if they let him and the others do what they can. Gibson was praised before his ROH stuff, watch his HVW and WCW work. It's not an ROH thing, he got rave reviews in other promotions as well.

Man, go fucking watch Gibson/Aries, Gibson/Strong and Gibson/Black Tiger. That is fucking Chris Benoit Jr.
