clean rob 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2004 Benoit better go over HBK - He probably will if they play out the story as expected, but more importantly it should be a really, really good match. Austin/McMahon better get cancelled - If Austin wants to be at WMXX, he will be. Accept it. And if he is, I'd rather he goes over McMahon than any of the active workers, wouldn't you? HHH vs. Rock better not be the MAIN EVENT - Highly unlikely. If it's not a title match it'll be Brock/GB. UT vs. Kane better be SHORT. - How many Kane matches aren't rather short? He's knackered after ten minutes. Although Taker's entrance will probably take up plenty of time. Other then that....let's have a great show folks. - Hopefully. I'm really looking forward to WMXX.

Guest Adrian 3:16 Report post Posted January 16, 2004 Couple things: -Cena is conspicuous by his absence. I'd like to think they'd have something for him to do, especially since he got screwed over last year when his battle with Fabolous didn't happen. - It maybe a minority opinion around here, but I was looking forward to Benoit killing HHH for the title. But Benoit and HBK should still be a hot match, particularly since Benoit will win (and if they want Bret to come back, this one writes itself) - I'm sure they'll put a token women's match on the show. - Why is VINCE wrestling Austin, for the love of god? I'd much rather have Austin/Hogan. -I'm glad RVD and Booker will both make the show, but what reason is there for them to fight over the IC title? Neither have them have shown any signs of a heel turn, which shows you how much thought the writers have put into this. - I actually like the reason for the Eddie/Angle match. All in all, the card is surprisingly good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted January 16, 2004 If this were the real card, I'd see them add... Big Show/Face Train Cena/Gunn US Title Bashams/WGTT Smack Tag Jindrak Cade/La Res RAW Tag Generic Women's match. Wow. NONE of those matches would be good. - I actually like the reason for the Eddie/Angle match. Nah. The reason is awful. Have them fight because one is the champ and the other wants it.

Guest Deebo Report post Posted January 16, 2004 HBK-Benoit would fucking own. This card may seem far-fetched, but when you think about it.. it really might not be that far-fetched. Why have Eddie-Brock at NWO? I mean do you just throw together a match like that for no reason? Eddie could easily end up winning that. Triple H would probably give up going into WM as the champion only to job to Benoit or Cena to be in a high profile singles match The Rock where he could probably go over. Brock-Goldberg without a title seems normal. As bad as the match will be, you don't need a World Title on the line for that. No matter what we think about, that really is a "dream match" for a lot of people. And Austin-McMahon, as much as I don't want to see it, sounds realistic. I mean, you basically just have a garbage type match like Hogan-McMahon from WM XIX, with lots of blood and Austin gets to go over and go out on top. The only odd thing is no Cena, but he has to be on the card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JN News 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2004 If they do go through with The Rock vs. Triple H at WM 20, then Rock sure as hell better go over. HHH definately OWES Rock a Wrestlemania job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ANKLELOCK 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2004 Eddie/Angle and Shawn/Benoit would be AWESOME. Brock/Goldberg, UT/Kane and Rock/ HHH should be at least somewhat entertaining. Maybe. Eh probably not.

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted January 16, 2004 I'd be happy with that card too. Too bad only about 1/4 of those matches will actually happen And the ones they do do will be neutered. ie.

gWIL 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2004 Here's what I would do, granted it would be streching some fueds, but they would all have decent build up. Brock Lesner vs Bill Goldberg 2 weeks after the Royal Rumble, Heyman and Bishoff are seen discussing on Raw. Later in the night Eric tells everyone one to tune in on SmackDown to see what their big WrestleMania surprise is. On SmackDown Paul says that they have signed a dream match between Raw's Bill Goldberg and SmackDown's Brock Lesner (No longer champion.) They just have everyone on both shows build up the match but have it said that there is to be no physical contact between the 2 or both will be fired. Come WrestleMania Brock cleanly defeats Goldberg but a big brawl between Raw and SmackDown stars occurs to end the show and build up next month's PPV Raw vs SmackDown. Rock, Austin and Foley vs HHH, Batista and Orton Orton builds up how Foley's a coward, which makes Austin mad. One week Rock returns and fights Orton to a draw after interference for Batista and Triple H. Bishoff makes a match for WrestleMania between Him, Rock and Foley against HHH, Batista and Orton. HHH is mad because he already has a match verus Shawn Micheals at WrestleMania. HHH loses a Career vs Title match to HBK and WrestleMania and is pretty much a none factor in the 6 Man Tag, Orton and Batista manage to win by Batista hitting a powerbomb off the apron thru a table on Foley, and Austin get RKOed while waiting to get tagged in, so the front of his neck hits the rope and he falls backwards to the outside of the ring. The two double team and pin The Rock. But afterwards Batista cuts a promo aoput how Hunter let Evolution down, and him and Orton beat down HHH and turn face. I Quit Match for the WWE Championship Chris Benoit vs Kurt Angle Benoit wins the Royal Rumble, but the SmackDown after the Rumble Angle beats Lesner after uses a chair to knock out Lesner and then hits the AngleSault for the 3 count, afterwhich to further cement his Heel Turn he talks about how Chris is going to have to beat the man he never could and says that Benoit is always going to choke at the big match. Heyman makes it a I Quit Match because of both mens past. In the weeks leading up to WrestleMania Benoit can't get a victory over Angle until the WrestleMania match where Benoit wins the title. Career vs Championship Shawn Micheals vs Triple H Triple H retains at the Rumble after TONS of interference and cheating. He agrees to give Shawn one last shot but he must put his career on the line. Austin prevents interference and Shawn wins. Hell in a Cell Kane vs Undertaker Undertaker returns at the Rumble (not in Rumble, run in) and Tombstones Kane. They fight back and forth on both shows before the GMs back a Hell in the Cell match for Mania. Kane wins after Mortis returns and causes Taker to take a big bump. Raw Tag Team Championship Edge and Jericho vs Matt hardy and Christian Edge returns and him and Jericho win the Tag titles, but Christian is mad because Jericho didn't chose him as a partner for the match, and demands a match between them and him and a partner. He picks Matt Hardy. Faces retain. No Holds Barred United States Championship John Cena vs Big Show At a match at No Way Out, Big Show chokeslams Cena off the top of a ladder injurying Cena. Apon Cena's return he demands a match. Cena finally wins the US title at Mania. RVD vs Booker T Van Dam eliminates T from the Rumble, Booker T turns heel in a match on Raw after the Rumble and hits RVD with a chair. Bishoff makes a rematch for WrestleMania. Booker T wins. Eddie vs Chavo At the Rumble match, Eddie won't touch Chavo and lays down to be pinned. This upsets Heyman who makes a match for Mania where if Eddie doesn't fight he's fired. Eddie wins to the fued. Cruiserweight Championship Ultimo vs Rey I can dream right. probaly a Smackdown Tag and Womens match too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slickster 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2004 Actually, according to Keller, the plan is for Eddie Guerrero to beat Brock Lesnar at No Way Out via a plethora of cheating. Angle will become extremely peeved at Eddie for going against true American ideals; for instance, real American heroes don't cheat. Eventually, this will be the driving force for Angle's heel turn and WWE Title match at WM XX. HOLY SHIT!! A main event storyline that makes perfect sense!!

Whether this card is "real" or not is irrelevant, discussing the possibility of the card is still valid - because we're smarks and that's what we do.

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2004 A couple of notes from this. Benoit/Shawn will have to be face-face = i wouldn't buy a Benoit heel over Shawn face win. Also, if Benoit is to get screwed at Mania and win the title the next month in Edmonton - wouldn't it be absolutely brilliant to have Benoit beat MICHAELS in Canada??

Could be a triple threat match with... Chris Jericho (hey, could happen, Michaels and Jericho, and Jericho and Benoit all have a history) Come to think of it, if Bret does stick it to McMahon and doesn't show up at Mania XX, this could be Vince's final F-U to Bret.
