I am now officially ordering Judgement Day...

[Guest Downhome]

From 1wrestling...

 

Ultimo Dragon told the Japanese media today that he would be debuting for World Wrestling Entertainment on 5/18 at the Judgment Day PPV event in Charlotte, North Carolina. Dragon worked the main event of his Toryumon promotion's event in Tokyo at Korakuen Hall, losing to CIMA. It was his last scheduled bout in Japan.

 

Dragon, considered one of the greatest aerial performers of the 1990s, is the inventor of the Asai Moonsault and held the J Crown in the late 90s. A botched surgery of his left arm forced him to retire. He began training performers and created the Toryumon and T2P promotions before finally returning to the ring several months back.

 

There has been no official announcement by WWE of Dragon's impending debut, but he officially signed several weeks back. He has long spoken of wrestling in Madison Square Garden as one of his remaining goals in wrestling.

 

...I was iffy untill this, but now I'll order it. Add this to the Tag Team Championship match, another Goldberg match, and perhaps a few other things that will be added, and it's good enough for me to pay $17.00 or so. I just can't wait for Ultimo to show up, I'm a HUGE fan of his.

 

Sincerely,

...Downhome...

ultimo/rey, ultimo/eddie, ultimo/benoit....can....not...wait

[Guest Downhome]

Damn, I forgot to add that I'm also VERY MUCH looking forward to the IC Title Battle Royal! While I'm at it, I have my fingers crossed for an appearance by The Honky Tonk Man, heh.

[Guest Fook_Hing_Ho]

People, people, get a hold of yourselves.

 

This is the wwe we're talking about.

 

It'll be Ultimo/A-Train

[LooseCannon25 0]

Damn......ok now.....a few days ago this card was looking horrid, but now Ultimo dragon debuting, IC battle royal added, tag team ladder match........i might have to get it now

[Guest Downhome]

I wonder how many and who all will be in that Battle Royal. Around 20 or so, did he say last night?

[Guest Showstoppa Icon]

no but theres only about 8-10 possible entrants on the raw side

[Guest ViciousFish]

I get every PPV but Ultimo Dragon possibly makes me interested.

[Guest Anglesault]

I'll watch..not ORDER..to see Goldberg get booed AGAIN. And it's iffy if that's enough.

 

As for the IC royal

 

Jericho

Storm

Kane (?)

RVD(?)

Christian (?)

Test (?)

Goldust (?)

 

what a match.

[Guest Downhome]

I didn't want to think about this on my own, so I got this from 1wrestling. Here are the guys on RAW who COULD be in it...

 

1) Shawn Michaels

 

2) Goldust

 

3) Chief Morley (held title as Val Venis)

 

4) Chris Jericho

 

5) Kane

 

6) Lance Storm

 

7) Christian

 

8)Test

 

9) Rob Van Dam

 

10) Triple H (Already defending the World title at Judgment Day.)

 

11) Kevin Nash (Already challenging for the World title at Judgment Day.)

 

12) The Rock (Making a movie.)

 

13) Steve Austin (Not actively wrestling.)

 

14) William Regal (Out for medical reasons.)

 

15) Billy Gunn (It should also be noted that Billy Gunn, who will soon be returning from his shoulder injury, is a former Intercontinental Champion, and there has been talk that he will switch to the Raw roster when he returns.)

 

 

...so that leaves us with nine, MAYBE ten guys for this thing that are on RAW. Will they keep it to that few, or will we see some guys jump from SD, or will we see guys like The Honky Tonk Man and Pat Patterson come out just for the night?

[Guest Anglesault]

If Test wins, there will be hell to pay

[Guest tpww7]

I wouldnt be surprised to see like....Rikishi move to Raw.

[Guest Showstoppa Icon]

If Test wins, there will be hell to pay

but thatll set up that dream feud between Test and Steiner for the IC title!

[Guest tpww7]

Jeff Hardy could always return by then too..

[Guest Anglesault]

If Test wins, there will be hell to pay

but thatll set up that dream feud between Test and Steiner for the IC title!

...

 

 

ABOLISH THE TITLE!

 

I just had a scary thought. They've been delaying Goldberg/Xian for about three million weeks now...will Christian show up with an "injury" next week, leading this to be FGB's PPV match?

[Guest j.o.b. squad]

assuming that they ment it is for only former ic champs it will be small. but perhaps austen meant that the former ic champs will automaticaly be in the match as well as some other wrestlers to be named later

[Guest RenegadeX28]

This PPV could be a sleeper hit.

 

 

-Ultimo Dragon returns....

 

-IC Title Tourney

 

-Maybe just maybe the G-berg match will be good.

 

-HHH vs Nash..............AWESOME MATCH.......................

[Guest Banky]

You are going to pay 20-30 dollars for a run-in by Ultimo Dragon? The guy is good, but thats a complete waste of cash. This PPV looks to be the worst EVER. The Dragon will be in a tag team with Funaki by July. All cruiserweights start off with pushes, but they all subside. Minus Mysterio, though he hasn't really won anything in months.

[Guest Mole]

I'm not buying it, no matter what.

[Guest bob_barron]

Why is everyone excited about a battle royal?

 

I mean- It's a battle royal. Just a boring waste of 10 minutes

[LooseCannon25 0]

I never said i was BUYING it......hehehehe

[Guest webmasterofwrestlegame]

I don't want to tempt fate, but maybe Ultimo will be on RAW. He'll be Bischoff's new assistant! You se, WWE knew he ran a promotion in Japan so it makes sense, right?...

 

That'd be typical if that did happen...

[Guest CanadianChris]

I refuse to watch any PPV jointly headlined by Big Show and Kevin Nash.

[Guest Polish_Rifle]

Will Ultimo Dragon's debut mean that Matt Hardy will actually have a match at the PPV for him to do a run-in?

[Guest Boomer Sprinklespax]

I haven't seen anything from Ultimo since his return from retirement. Can he still go in the ring like he used to?

[Guest AndrewTS]

Who even said Ultimo would be wrestling?

[Guest Boomer Sprinklespax]

Who even said Ultimo would be wrestling?

A good point, I hadn't considered that.

 

An idea: perhaps he will be stable leader for a new Kaientai with Funaki and Tajiri? Improbable I know, but I'd love to see that...as long as they are actually taken seriously. Maybe TAKA could come back too. Then we could have Tajiri going after Matt Hardy while a stable war rages on between Team Angle and Kaientai.

 

:::thinks about a match involving Ultimo/TAKA/Funaki vs. Angle/Benjamin/Haas:::

 

Yeah, it would rock.

[Guest AndrewTS]

":::thinks about a match involving Ultimo/TAKA/Funaki vs. Angle/Benjamin/Haas:::"

 

Vince: Need more hoss.

 

And you mean that after the "returns" of Steiner, nWo, Austin (vs. Bisch is NOT a match to me) you hadn't figured that "debut" doesn't necessarily mean having a match?

[Guest oldschoolwrestling]

Ultimo will be at the ppv. They'll show him in the background of a skit that has Stephanie and Mr America.

I assume he won't be wrestling on the PPV, I thought you were talking about a non-wrestling role. Like perhaps he will come in as a manager or something of that ilk, especially since no one is sure how healthy he is.
