Guest rawmvp Report post Posted August 28, 2003 The next BIG PPV is the 2003 Survivor Series, which will emanate from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX. Hopefully, we'll have these main events to look forward to: Smackdown: Kurt Angle vs. Eddie Guerrero for the WWE Title RAW: Goldberg vs. Kane for the World Heavyweight Title Unfortunately, we'll probably get: Smackdown: Kurt Angle vs. Vince McMahon for the WWE Title RAW: Goldberg vs. Shane McMahon for the World Heavyweight Title Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest thrall585 Report post Posted August 28, 2003 I don't recall Goldberg's contract info, or even know if the amount of time on his contract was available, but you can't assume they will give Goldberg a continued main event push after his match with HHH. Goldberg could be gone from WWE after the match, if his contract expires around then. And WWE never used Goldberg right, putting him in matches against Jericho and Christian instead of pushing him strong into the main events. So just because they are pushing him now, doesn't mean that is how it will be from now on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest rawmvp Report post Posted August 28, 2003 Goldberg's contract expires in April '04. I don't see why he wouldn't sign an extension because he's been very cooperative since joining the company. The only instances when he used his creative control clause, have been justified. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2003 Goldberg will not be World Champ. He might have been if he'd been massively over and stayed that way for a while. So now he's fighting an uphill battle of poor booking and politics--eh-eh, it just ain't gonna happen. I think we might get a Goldberg-Kane "monster vs. monster" feud though, with the winner to job to HHH or something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest thrall585 Report post Posted August 28, 2003 (edited) I don't know how politics can stop him if he has full creative control over his character. And Goldberg didn't mind not being a main eventer until recently, so it is possible he doesn't care about beating HHH, so HHH could retain the title at the next PPV.

Guest Duncan Eternia Report post Posted August 28, 2003 I'm going with: Smackdown: Eddie vs. Kurt - WWE Title Raw: Elimination Style- Evolution (Flair, Orton, H, and Batsita) vs. Goldberg, Shawn Michaels and whoever else is over enough by then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest thrall585 Report post Posted August 28, 2003 I'm going with Triple H vs a returning Mick Foley (which should be after his book tour, and if they job Goldberg to Triple H, Foley would be the best option for Triple H to face and would be a big money match. Also Foley would have to prepare for the match and possibly to be champion for a little while) and my other prediction for Survivor Series is Angle vs Guerrero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BifEverchad 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2003 I wish they'd just do the obvious Survivor Series style matches, with the RAW vs SmackDown! superstars. Teaming up a group of SmackDowns stars, heels and faces to take on a group of RAW stars. The teaming of heels and faces on the teams could show that they all have to join together to represent their brand against the other brand in a series of 4 vs 4 elimination matches. (IE. SmackDown! (Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, John Cena & Rhyno vs. Raw (Chris Jericho, Rob Van Dam, Booker T & Christian) Also, the Main Event match could even be the WWE Champion (SmackDown!) facing the World Heavyweight Champion (RAW) in a Non-Title match-up, so they don't have to pull the 'Unification' stipulation out. (IE, Goldberg vs Kurt Angle) I think any of these match concepts could definately work, and further the 'rivalry' and fully establish the 'brand extension' idea.

Guest thrall585 Report post Posted August 28, 2003 That would be good, but to build to that, they would have to have to allow Raw wrestlers on Smackdown before the PPV and Smackdown wrestlers on Raw before the PPV. This concept could get the PPV a good buyrate so it might be worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill Goldberg vs. Kane - With 2 months of buildup, this could be a very well-anticipated match. The rivalry could easily be stretched out until Royal Rumble. Kane killing Shane at Unforgiven should be all he needs to become the top threat to the title. Kurt Angle vs. Eddie Guerrero - Seems like the logical pick (which means it's probably not going to happen). If the WWE wants to go that route, they need to put a lot more emphasis on Eddie in the coming weeks. As it stands now, he's top talent but not percieved as main event material.

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2003 Guys, Goldberg basically has to win the title at the next PPV unless they do another lame DQ finish (which I think would provoke lynchings in the arena). If not he is gone, which I can't see happening yet. And yes, GB/Kane is the only possible money match Raw has. Eddie vs. Kurt for the title in Dallas would be great. World champion Eddie? Please god let it happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is not another Triple H vs Foley match just for the hell of it, the storyline around the match if the match occurs could be, can Mick Foley beat Triple H? And that is a money match. >did anyone loathe D-Lo after he paralyzed Droz?

Guest thrall585 Report post Posted August 28, 2003 (edited) >I think they've been pulling that storyline since December - can ANYONE beat Triple H? The storyline with Steiner-HHH was who is the biggest dog in town and with Booker T-HHH, is Booker T good enough to become champion, and with Nash-HHH, Nash getting revenge on HHH for turning on him, and with the Elimination Chamber, who can win the Elimination Chamber. The can Triple H be beaten storyline was never established at any time. And it isn't only about could Triple H be beaten, the main focus would be can Mick Foley beat Triple H? And that is a huge money match. Edited August 28, 2003 by thrall585 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just call me Dan 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2003 I see Hunter retainging again at Unforgiven because Batista will return and cost goldberg the match. Batista and Goldberg will have a mini feud in the 2 months off RAW has from PPV where Goldberg will convincingly go over, and regain his focus at HHH. HHH will drop the strap at Survivor Series to Goldberg, and then Armageddon and Royal Rumble will be open for Kane/Goldberg feuding. Smackdown is COMPLETELY up in the air, but Big Show and Undertaker seem to be the front runners to headline against Angle. Eddie is a strong possibility, but if it sounds too good to be true, it is.

I'm not saying this in defense of Goldberg - but did anyone loathe D-Lo after he paralyzed Droz? Just the WWE itself.

Guest rawmvp Report post Posted August 28, 2003 I was under the impression that we'd see Eddy vs. Cena at No Mercy with Cena winning the U.S. Title. This would cement Cena as a legitimate superstar and allow Eddy to challenge Angle for the WWE Title at Survivor Series. You've got an upstanding, hard-working olympian versus a cheater, liar and pilferer in Eddy Guerrero. It would capitalize on the growing hispanic demographic that have been watching WWE and it would be a breath of fresh air in the main-event scene. As Meltzer pointed out, Vince is going to manage Kane (and Brock) and feud with Taker and Shane, which means a HHH-Taker trade or something along those lines is on the horizon. So, as it stands, I can almost assure you guys that we'll either see Angle vs. Eddy or Angle vs. Cena at Survivor Series with the former being the most probable.

Austin3164life 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2003 Perhaps we'll see Cena win the US Title, but I don't think the WWE will make Eddie's reign with the belt a short run. Unless they feel that there aren't enough World Title contenders (which is true), then Eddie might possibly face Angle after a two month feud with Cena in which he drops the US strap to Cena. What's funny is that unlike the Smackdown brand, the Raw World Title scene is more cut and dry. It's either "Triple H retains" or...."Triple H retains", so I think Goldberg beats Triple H at Survivor Series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest rawmvp Report post Posted August 28, 2003 You know, I think there is a fairly good chance that we may not even SEE Triple H at Survivor Series. Why? Well, the big wedding day is on Oct. 25, and unless Steph and Paul decide to forgo their subsequent honeymoon, we should see Triple H and Steph dismiss themselves from television for at least a month to prepare for the wedding and the honeymoon, itself.

Austin3164life 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2003 One month away from squashes and the spotlight? I don't think ol' Triple H can take that much time away. In all seriousness, he may have to for his injury, but due to his ego he'll probably "tough it out" until Survivor Series to show he can last and will job.
