Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted October 2, 2002 OK, in regards to how Undertaker/Lesnar will be progressing on Smackdown, there's one thing that's really bothering me... and no, its not just the Hell in a Cell stip. It's that Brock "broke Undertaker's hand". What's the problem with this? I'll be blunt; it's a lame way to continue a feud. Think about this logistically - if 'Taker's hand is broken he can't do anything, which thus means he can do nothing to further to feud. Granted, most of us wouldn't have any problem with that at all, but for a championship match, particularly one that's "important" enough to get the Hell in a Cell stip, there should be at least SOME build up. Or, there's the other side of 'Taker's broken hand, meaning that he completely no-sells the injury (which will probably happen, I mean its 'Taker, what else is new?), and will just make Brock foolish by decking him out with soup bones from a broken hand. Anyone else agree with me, or see where they could possibly be going with this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DJ Jeff Report post Posted October 2, 2002 You mean to say that the Undertaker will face Lesnar at No Mercy in a Hell in a Cell? Damn, I love Hell in a Cell matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted October 2, 2002 The hand will be the target for Lesnar....I'd be happier if he Nailed Taker's ribs it would be more believable. hell in the cell being Taker's final Gimmick match of his old Arsenal of Gimmick matches. lesnar will do what though? Make Taker tap to a Greco Roman Knuckle lock? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2002 I'm telling you the injured Taker's hand so that in Hell in a Cell Cole's prediction about someone getting a finger caught in there will come true so that Cole doesn't look so stupid anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nater Report post Posted October 2, 2002 Maybe by being crippled, Taker will finally job properly to Lesnar (even though its always excuseable on his handicap, which is pretty low) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest eirejmcmahon Report post Posted October 2, 2002 So will the one-handed Undertaker put over Lesnar by (a) suffering a decisive loss in his signature match or (b) fucking Brock off the top of the cage (with his broken hand). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cataclysm911 Report post Posted October 2, 2002 I really don't know what I'm the most pissed about. I mean 'Taker simply refuses to put net talent over. I mean, last Wrestlemania he was the heel is his match, and went over Ric Flair. That could've been the perfect opportunity to put over someone new.. instead, he goes over 50 year old Flair. 'Taker also won't get out of the fucking main event. This is two PPV's in a row where he is at the top of the card, and I'm getting really pissed. Why couldn't 'Taker have just put over Brock at the last PPV and been done with it? The Rock had no problems putting over Brock.. oh wait, the Rock is a team player, not an old, conceeded, selfish, senior citizen. So, if Brock goes over The Undertaker will it even matter? That is the question. It will be played off that Brock couldn't beat 'Taker, and only won the rematch because of the 'Taker's broken hand. You know that is what's going to happen. You just fucking know it. The ignorant ass commentary teams will go along with it too. "Brock couldn't beat 'Taker. He has to take advantage of an injured man.. blah, blah, bbq sauce." I want to see Brock's title reign mean something. Put him in there with people that will compliment him, or make him look tremendous. People like, well, you know.. the people we all praise day in and day out. Benoit, Angle, Guerrero, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest midnight_burn Report post Posted October 2, 2002 I'm telling you the injured Taker's hand so that in Hell in a Cell Cole's prediction about someone getting a finger caught in there will come true so that Cole doesn't look so stupid anymore. The second i heard Brock "broke Taker's hand" that's exactly what i thought of. At No Mercy, the Undertaker submits after getting his fingers caught in the cell wall.

Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted October 2, 2002 1 or 2 things are going on here! Either Taker really hurt his hand over the weekend so this is the reason he shows up with a cast on TV. Plain, simple, no problem with that. OR, This is someones idea (Takers maybe) to say he has a hurt hand just incase the match sucks. I can here the Ross Report now, "The Undertaker & Brock Lesnar Championship Match at No Mercy lived up to everyones expectations. (The match will probably suck so you never know with JR comments like this. Either he's shooting or being a company man) Undertaker showed way he is the most respected Men in our business today. Unfortunately, This true locker room leader couldn't give everything he normally would have due to his injuried hand. But no need to worry, The Deadman is one of the toughest people I've personally ever met and he will be working through the pain. Oh, and RVD had a match also."

Guest Lord of The Curry Report post Posted October 2, 2002 Well, Taker worked with a broken foot for the HIAC w/ Foley, so don't be surprised to hear him cut a promo about how he did one HIAC with a broken foot and a broken hand ain't gonna stop him.

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted October 2, 2002 Lesnar/Taker is the first PPV Hell in a Cell that doesn't even have one semi-good worker in it (Taker/Bossman,Taker was still watchable) This will piss all over Hell in a Cell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DJ Jeff Report post Posted October 2, 2002 If the Undertaker jobs to Lesnar at No Mercy, everyone will be saying it's because of his broken hand. I'd like the WWE to build up to No Mercy by saying that the Undertaker's hand isn't 100%, and his chances of winning are slim to none. Then, at No Mercy, the Undertaker wins the WWE Title, when everyone thought he wouldn't. The WWE should surprise us by doing that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest jester Report post Posted October 2, 2002 Are they trying to bury Lesnar or something? Here's one more thing that makes him look like a wuss, because you know he won't be allowed to dominate the UT, broken hand or no. I laugh when people call Brock a monster heel. Monster heels don't sell the Hardy Boys' offense. I swear, by the time Brock loses the belt, he's going to be so lacking credibility, he'll make Jericho look as dominant as HHH.

Guest subliminal_animal Report post Posted October 2, 2002 It would be funny if the minute the Undertaker throws a punch he falls to his knees with that funny scream he does. I'm telling you the injured Taker's hand so that in Hell in a Cell Cole's prediction about someone getting a finger caught in there will come true so that Cole doesn't look so stupid anymore. LOL!!! Well, Taker worked with a broken foot for the HIAC w/ Foley, so don't be surprised to hear him cut a promo about how he did one HIAC with a broken foot and a broken hand ain't gonna stop him. Yeah...Taker did so much work there. I can't believe he survived. Maybe by being crippled, Taker will finally job properly to Lesnar (even though its always excuseable on his handicap, which is pretty low) I heard next week, Taker's gonig to punk Brock out in the ring, and then later they're going to have Brock jump him and break four of Taker's ribs. Then the same thing happens the week after, only this time, he severs Taker's spinal cord. Then at No Mercy, a paralyzed Taker, broken hands and ribs and all, will take the fight to Brock, but the tide will be turned in Brock's favor when he uses the belt on Taker while he's distracted by Heyman coming near his pregnant wife at ringside. Then Brock, knowing that's enough for a weakling liek him to pin the almighty Undertaker, will hit the F-5 on the belt and pin Undertaker with his feet on the ropes. Then Taker will get his heat back by chokeslamming both Heyman and Brock through the canvas before going backstage. There he'll do a WWE.com interview, about how some people in this business are selfish and would never have done the right thing by putting the young champion over so strongly like he just did. Taker then takes a couple weeks off to spend time with his wife under the guise of healing his storyline injuries. After that, in the biggest match in the history of Smackdown, he defeats Brock for the title in five minutes to get his win back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest nikowwf Report post Posted October 2, 2002 Yeah, Brock getting cut off by Angle and disappearing would be so cool. It would establish Brock was a fraud, and Angle beat the fraud so he'd get to rub also and be a lame duck champ until they decide to job him to THE LAME. That would be SO awesome. Really Im with you 100% that Angle should get the belt. But just handing to him now helps who? Certainly not him. Im not saying they are booking him well now, but just handing the belt to him would be the final nail in the coffin. Niko Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They wouldn't hand him the belt, the would set up a feud and have Angle be the first to beat him, giving Angle rub and taking the belt off a terrible champion.

Guest Brian Report post Posted October 2, 2002 Undertaker hasn't been a decent worker since '98. Brock bumps better than him then and has a better idea how to put together a match than he ever has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Metal Maniac Report post Posted October 2, 2002 Actually, breaking 'Taker's hand is pure fucking genius, from a psychology standpoint. Assuming he sells the hand enough (Yeah, I know, I know...But bear with me) it could lead to some interesting spots. For example, Taker grabs for the chokeslam, but can't do it, because his hand is broken. You're not gonna get much grip with a broken hand. Same could be said for the Last Ride - he wouldn't be able to grip Lesnar's tights for the wedgie. Of course, 'Taker'll just shrug it off, but it COULD be neat...

Guest nikowwf Report post Posted October 2, 2002 I think we agree Anglesault that Angle should feud with Brock and make him tap like a little girl. I just want it to be in the main event of Wrestlemania. I get visions of Jericho winning the title at Vengeance to set him up as a foil to HHH. I get visions of Brock-beating Angle being built up as a foil to HHH as well. Niko Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted October 2, 2002 If they make Taker climb the cell one handed, I'm gonna mark like a little girl. Or maybe Taker's hanging on the side, then Brock stomps on his hand. Taker falls through the announce table, severs his spinal cord, and the ghost of HBK says "Ha!" * *- Ideally, HBK would be dead in this scenario. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cabbageboy Report post Posted October 2, 2002 Why exactly is everyone saying Brock is just going to be fed to HHH? I don't exactly see how this is going to happen if they are going to keep the brands separate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted October 2, 2002 at Wrestlemania they will most likely unify the show's titles, and HHH doesn't seem to be losing to RVD anytime soon. Of course, Taker could beat Brock, but one would think (hope) that he wouldn't hold the title till Wrestlemania. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Brian Report post Posted October 2, 2002 They are less than likely going to unify the titles by then. And even then, if RAW is still bombing and thus they need to do that, in all likelyhood Triple H will lose and Brock will become defacto face. There's no way he could maneuver himself into winning. But as of this moment, unifying the titles is a distant, distant thougt in the WrestleMania plans behind getting Goldberg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
