Guest Brian Report post Posted February 22, 2003 But his appearance will be a surprise, and that's a huge logic gap having a video package for someone you don't know is going to appear. Of course the WWE can get away with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course the WWE can get away with that. His appearance will be a surprise, but you can have a vid package before the match. Yeah, it's a logic gap, but so is having a graphic of 416.619 as the Tag Champs literally five minutes after they won the belts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted February 22, 2003 Not really as much, because like a printing group that already has championship T-Shirt ready to press no matter who wins if they know the participants, the WWE could do the same thing. This is more like having the nameplates already on the belts, because Rhyno is essentially making a surprise appearance at the start of the match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Â First, On HEAT have the injury angle. Then after the opening match have Steph come out and announce that since they wern't on a TV Show she would select a superstar who hadn't been signed to a brand yet, RHYNO. Â Then vid package about the history Rhyno has with Edge before the match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Perfect_Bo Report post Posted February 22, 2003 Why not go with Eddy and let him turn his back on Benoit...again. This will set up Eddy vs. Benoit for WM and I would love to see that match. Â Just an opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted February 22, 2003 Put a WWE logic twist on that, and I figure they'll go with a mystery partner until the match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest tpww7 Report post Posted February 22, 2003 From 1 popup  A lot of people have asked me what Edge's status is for tomorrow's PPV. At this point, I don't have anything concrete to report. The company is said to be considering all of their options. They could replace him, do an injury angle that makes it a 3 on 2 or even have Edge appear. Given that the match is a six man, and he could be protected, it's conceivable that he could work in the match. From a storyline standpoint, given that this week's Smackdown is in London, Ontario, which is near where Edge grew up, it would make sense to do some kind of angle with him there.

Guest the r-train Report post Posted February 22, 2003 I'VE GOT IT!!!!!!!!! Â Have Rhyno be Rey's opponent on Heat, with Tazz and Micheal Cole making a big deal about how ironic this match is, as both competitors have pasts with Edge. Have Rhyno be shown to be in tip-top shape and fucking SQUASH Rey. Then later, when Edge gets jumped by Team Angle backstage, they make a big deal about how injured Edge is. Â Even later, from the hospital (I know, pretty hokey, but stick with me here), Steph tells Edge he can name his replacement. Edge says it's obvious that Rhyno was jealous of Rey, because Rhyno wanted to be Edge's tag partner these past months, so Edge is going to give Rhyno a huge opportunity tonight. Â Rhyno, therefore, replaces Edge in the six-man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted February 22, 2003 That is the worst idea yet... Â First off, I'll say it again...WHY IS EVERYONE ACTING like because Mysterio is wrestling on Heat mean HE CAN'T BE THE Replacement? I had ZERO bearing on the match...Hell, it makes MORE sense with him having a match... Â Although Rhyno is Heyman's personal pet toy...He would NEVER be a smart move as the 3rd man...It would be better to bring him in via an Attack on Benoit and start THAT angle for Mania... Â Eddy...Why? If you go with Benoit Vs Eddy for Mania it's dumb for TWO reasons...1, We've seen it too many times and now it has no importance 2. It leaves Team Angle and Chavo in the cold... Â So, Logic goes with Mysterio... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted February 22, 2003 That is the worst idea yet... First off, I'll say it again...WHY IS EVERYONE ACTING like because Mysterio is wrestling on Heat mean HE CAN'T BE THE Replacement? I had ZERO bearing on the match...Hell, it makes MORE sense with him having a match... Would Rey be up for two matches in one night? Figure the one on heat might ge like six, seven minutes? I think it was Benoit who said it's a real bitch to have a match and then another one an hour and a half later. Of course, the Heat match probably won't be long enough to have that effect.  Still, I have no idea why they would even bother with the Heat match. If they want him to do the six man, kill the Heat match. It was a match that no one knew or cared about against a guy Rey didn't have an issue with, or if he did, it obviously wasn't important to enought to make the show so it could be delayed to SD!. It's obviously not a high priority match. If you wanted Rey to wrestle to establish that he's in the building, it can easily be established by having him walk in with edge.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted February 22, 2003 Yeah, You could have Rey and Edge walk into the arena together and then use that as a seugeway to Edge's attack...  Rey: Yo, Edge Man, I gotta go see about a thing real quick, Meet you in the room Edge: All right, Later Shortie  :::Rey walks away through a door:::  Edge is interupted by Coach for an interview...BOOM! Team Angle attacks Edge and toss him around the backlot and finish him off with a Piledriver onto the concrete and they walk away.  We come back with Rey running to Edge calling for Help...  That would work if you don't have a Rey Match...OR  You could just have Rey have his 6 Minute Heat Match and Do the Attack, and Rey LOGICALLY replaces his best friend in a measure of Vengence.

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted February 22, 2003 You could just have Rey have his 6 Minute Heat Match and Do the Attack, and Rey LOGICALLY replaces his best friend in a measure of Vengence. I can see how that would work. I just don't quite understand how Rey already having a match somehow makes it more logical that he would take Edge's place later in the show.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted February 22, 2003 He is Edge's best friend...Simple as that. It wouldn't be the first time someone wrestled 2 matches in one night...It would also add to the match by having him already wrestled earlier in the night...

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted February 22, 2003 It would also add to the match by having him already wrestled earlier in the night... That makes sense. As long as they don't hype on how worn rey is and have him job, it should work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Your Olympic Hero Report post Posted February 22, 2003 Rey has been made to look like A-Train's bitch, Eddy is strictly in a tag team right now, so definitely Rhyno.... it'd be the perfect way to go.

bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2003 I think they should do the injury angle then have Brock and Benoit go two against three. And lose of course (preferably by Angle pinning Brock), but it puts them two over pretty well, fighting the good fight, outnumbered, and all that. Â That is, if they promote it like that afterwards.

Paul Heyman used to kiss this guy's ass every time he was on TV, and Rhyno returns against Paul's team. Rey came back to beat A-Train in like a minute, didn't he? Anyway, Rey would be a fine replacement. It fits into the storyline since he's Edge's partner and all, plus he has the stamina to go for a long time. Benoit's injured and they probably aren't going to use Brock except for "cleanup duty" (getting hot tags). Â And I must have missed this: when and how did Edge get hurt? Or was it a gradual thing like Benoit's neck injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Brian Report post Posted February 23, 2003 It's a six-man. Whoever works it will be protected by short intervals, because more than likely they'll be fodder. Benoit and Brock will play face in peril/hot tag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
