res37618 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2003 Just was thinking about the possibilities for WM XX, and IF the WWE plays their cards right, it could be fantastic . . . or, in recent-typical WWE fashion, it could be a flop. Here's what I see happening . . . WWE Title vs. World Heavyweight Title Brock Lesnar vs. Bill Goldberg (or HHH) (this is IF and only IF Vince decides to finally scrap the brand extension, which I'm not sure is such a good idea, but I've often wondered if he's had WM in mind for months as the culmination to this "split") If there's no "intermingling" with the brands, I'd say we'll get: WWE Title Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero World Heavyweight Title - Loser Must Retire HHH vs. HBK Where's Goldberg in that mix? Simple - Austin's probably got one more match in him . . . Austin vs. Goldberg seems logical as a "big money match" for what's supposed to be the biggest PPV ever. What do you guys think?

Guest Coffey Report post Posted September 4, 2003 No way the WWE Title will be in a 3-way dance at Wrestlemania. They've done it in the past, and they are never successful. The main event has to be one on one for the title with the face going over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2003 There'll be anywhere from 1 to 4 McMahon matches, there's no possible way Vince and co will be able to keep themselves off an event as big as WM XX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Boomer Sprinklespax Report post Posted September 4, 2003 I donno about anything else, but I'd say Goldberg/Austin is pretty much a lock. They've always sort of hinted at it, and Austin has always said he might have one or two more matches left in him... Also, if The Rock is available, he will return and have a match with someone, my guess being HHH. This will leave some sort of an odd match for the Undisputed Title, and I can easily see it being a three or four or even six person affair. Take your pick from the following, as between 2 and 6 of these will be involved in some way: Angle, Lesnar, Eddy, Benoit, Edge, and Taker. Beyond that, I don't know. But I have a sneaking suspicion that Jericho may end up on SD! in the near future, to help remedy the lack of strong heels on the show. Maybe he'll be involved in the Undisputed Title hunt too.

Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted September 4, 2003 Christ, is Austin gonna be willing to mix it up with Goldberg? Supposedly nothing the guy does is completely safe and Austin is essentially a walking parapalegic at this point anyways. I'll buy Mcmahon vs Random Old Star Who Comes Back To Feud with Vince as a possible big match on the show. You know he won't be able to resist sticking himself on there.

JN News 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2003 Also, if The Rock is available, he will return and have a match with someone, my guess being HHH. If this should happen, they should bring back the Undisputed Title, put it on HHH, book the match in the main event with Rock as the challenger, and have HHH return the job to The Rock from Wrestlemania 16. It would be fitting, because the WWE should give back to The Rock for all the contributions he has given to the company. Give Rock the title, he deserves it.

Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2003 It doesn't get any bigger than Austin / Hogan, if that doesn't work, they should go with Austin / Goldberg for fanservice. If that doesn't work out, Goldberg / Lesnar is a must. For some reason, I have a bad feeling HBK/Vince might occur... Of course, I don't want Vince on the card, but if his ego must let him, I wouldn't mind seeing Foley / McMahon. Yeah, I know Foley is retired, but I wouldn't mind him coming back out of it for one night to kick Vince's ass! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2003 I really hope its the swansong for the following at WM XX: Hogan, Austin, HBK, Nash, and Taker. Have I missed anyone (within reason)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Deviant Report post Posted September 4, 2003 I'd love to see Taker go out with a clean job at WrestleMania. There are so many guys under contract that should be retired that it's become a joke. They might as well do an elimination chamber(since they are well on their way to overusing that gimmick) with only the winner keeping his contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2003 I agree about the Rock, he should win one of the world titles since he got fucked out of his WM glory back in 2000. And I hope one of the current held down good talents wins either of the world titles. That'll pause my bitching for awhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted September 4, 2003 Well, it's a well known fact that it's hard for the wrestlers to give up their wrestling role. To them, it's not a job it's a lifestyle. "The Sickness" as Roddy Piper calls it. If the Undertaker does go out on his back, which he should, I sure hope he loses to the right person. If he put over the wrong person with the hype it would receive, it could be disasterous. I think it would be cool for Taker to be able to retire and say that he was undefeated at Wrestlemanias though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2003 If a trade or something happens I wouldn't be surprised to see Taker and Kane hook up at WM again, the Undertaker will probably end up involved in the current Kane angle sooner or later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bradolson 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2003 How about Hogan, Austin, HBK, Nash, Taker and somebody needing a push (Jericho/RVD/Edge/???) in the Elimination Chamber - with the stipulation that if you don't win, you retire. Kill 5 birds with one stone and the winner can claim he retired all 5 guys. The real "legend killer" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clean rob 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2003 I'd love to see Taker go out with a clean job at WrestleMania. Never going to happen. Taker's legacy IS his WM winning streak, that's what he'll be remembered for, that's his reward for sticking by Vince. It's become such a big thing that no-one deserves such a massive push, they'd have done such a huge thing that it'd be impossible to live up to. Hopefully Taker WILL go out on his back, but at some other PPV, where it'll still be a big enough deal to provide someone with a big push without damaging Taker's legacy. I agree that Austin/Goldberg seems a likely money match...possibly for the title, possibly even with Austin going over for a last brief reign. Only thing is, who'll HHH face? He'll want a big match, right? HBK again? Vince? Kane? All possibilities, I reckon - but I'll plump for Rocky. Can't see any other option for the WWE title other than Brock and Kurt again, although I'd cream myself if Angle/Guerrero ME'd. Won't happen, but hopefully Benoit and Eddie can have a rematch. Still plenty of time for everything to change though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Austin3164life 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2003 The Rock has already won seven World Titles. I don't really think he needs another one. WWE Title: Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar (somehow) Triple H Crown: Triple H vs. Chris Jericho (I believe Hunter is turning face) Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero Ladder Match: Shawn Michaels vs. RVD Big Money Match: Steve Austin vs. Hulk Hogan That's all I can really think of at this time. Most of the matches I've named are probably not going to happen due to politics/injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bricks Report post Posted September 4, 2003 What I'm thinking right now... RAW Title: Triple H vs Kane. Well, if the Triple H face turn rumors become true, then he'll be the one to stop the monster Kane. Smackdown Title: Kurt Angle vs The Rock. The Rock's coming back around this time, might as well have him put over one of the Champions. Brock Lesnar vs Bill Goldberg. Doesn't Goldberg's contract end around here? So why not have the WWE's version beat the WCW version. Although, if Austin can go for one match, then they'll probably go the Austin vs Goldberg route. Hulk Hogan vs Vince McMahon II. Hogan will be back and Vince will make himself Hogan's opponent. Undertaker vs Nathan Jones. I think they'll do that whole student turns on his teacher storyline. 'Taker gets to keep his undefeated streak as well and maybe they release Jones afterwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NCJ Report post Posted September 4, 2003 Flair vs. Hogan, or Austin vs. Hogan, or Austin vs. Goldberg is willhappen at WMXX if it is one of the first two it will be a definate retirement match for both probably. The Informer has already hinted at it and he is almost always right. Rock does desrve a WM title victory, but I doubt it will ever happen. HHH will get whoever he wants, and it might just be Taker considering Taker never jobbed back to HHH for WM X-7. Kane vs. UT is also a possibility. Don't be surprised if you see John Cena in the Main Event Angle loves him, he is over as all hell, and if he can stay near the top he may just be there. HBK will be there, but I'm not sure against who maybe Jericho or Benoit. Brock may be in the main event, but only if it is the end of the brand extension so they can have Brock vs Goldberg, or finally give us what no one wants, Brock vs. HHH. Benoit and Eddy G. better have high profile matches. If it were up to me I would put those two with RVD or Angle if he isn't the champ in a three way.

Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted September 4, 2003 Why are so many people expecting the split to end? The company has gone on a limb by sticking with it for as long as they have and that alone proves to me that they are very serious about trying to make it work. As for XX, who knows. Look back at September of 2002. How many of us would have accurately been able to call the XIX card then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some ideas of what will happen: HHH vs Austin for the Raw Belt: After HHH/Randy Orton fails, expect Vince to go into panic mode by way of having HHH turn heel and having Austin fight HHH for the Raw belt. Expect HHH to go over as way of Vince paying him back for turning heel again Kurt Angle vs Chris Benoit for the SD Belt: To counterbalance HHH going over, expect Benoit to turn heel and get the SD title so as to lose the belt to Kurt Angle at WM Rock/Kane: Expect Rock to be the one who beats Kane (who will be protected from HHH's grasp by feuding with Shane) after his return Jericho/HBK in a ladder match for the IC title: Jericho gets the IC belt and feuds with HBK, who's more concerned about Jericho than he is the IC belt. Jericho wins, in order to set up a return match at the next PPV where Jericho jobs back to HBK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
