[Guest OraleHolmes]

Looks interesting:

 

Chris Benoit w/ Eugene in corner vs. Triple H - World Heavyweight Championship

 

Undertaker w/ Paul Heyman vs. Eddie Guerrero -- WWE Title/Casket Match

 

Shawn Micheals vs. Kane -- streetfight

 

Rob Van Dam vs. Booker T -- U.S. Title

 

Chris Jericho vs. Randy Orton vs. Christian -- Intercontinental Title

 

John Cena vs. Kurt Angle

 

Edge vs. Shelton Benjamin

 

Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero -- Cruiserweight Title

 

Dudleys vs. Hardyz (assuming Jeff is cleared to return) -- Interpromotional Tag Team Match

Other than Trips/Benoit, that card looks shit.

 

Edit: Where is JBL? You can't build a guy up like that and just drop him off your second biggest PPV, can you? Especially when he's your #1 heel.

[The Mandarin 0]

I'll be happy with whatever I get, but that could use some tweaking.

 

Wait, at first you said RVD was gonna face Angle. Now it's Cena? Huh?

 

I should be listening to the Observer right now. *clicks*

 

Anyways, why not:

 

Benoit/HHH, Michaels/Kane, Orton/Eugene, Eddie/Angle, Flair/Edge, Rey/Chavo, La Resistance/Benjamin/Tajiri, Undertaker/Cena and Dudleyz off the card completely or against London/Kidman. Batista/Val on Heat duty.

 

Wait, isn't Big Show gonna be back soon? He should be on the card.

[Guest Anglesault]

Nine show card, five appealing matches. I'll take it

[LucharesuFan619 0]

Looks surprisingly good. The three-way especially.

[Guest OraleHolmes]

Yeah, I mixed them up. I meant to say that RVD was wrestling Booker T and Cena was wrestling Angle.

[Enigma 0]

When did Meltzer say this?

[Guest Anglesault]

Yeah, I mixed them up. I meant to say that RVD was wrestling Booker T and Cena was wrestling Angle.

I still stick with my 5 for 9 ratio.

 

I'll watch it to See Benoit/HHH, Taker/Eddie, Rey/Chavo, HBK/Kane and the IC match.

 

The others really offer nothing.

 

Still, I can watch a show that has an over 50 % ratio.

[Guest Choken One]

really hope Eugene doesn't become the backstory to the HHH/Benoit match.

 

The card looks okayish but another god damn Mysterio/Chavo match?

 

Can't Knoble get one shot at Mysterio?

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

So Benjamin is now NOT in the IC Ttile feud, but in a under-card crap match?

 

Matt Hardy is on Smackdown again? If not, when were Inter-Promotional matches allowed?

 

Angle is cleared to wrestle on such short notice?

 

HBK is coming back BEFORE SSlam, even though it's reported unlikely?

 

Sorry, but Meltzer is either fucking high or this is fake.

[Guest Anglesault]

Can't Knoble get one shot at Mysterio?

January. 10 people cared. Three of them were Rey, Nidia and Noble.

[The Mandarin 0]

Chris Jericho vs. Randy Orton vs. Christian -- Intercontinental Title

One thing though--

 

Can Orton save this from turning into the Jericho/RVD/Christian IC Title debacle from Unforgiven 2003 that was one of the biggest crowd killing matches I've ever seen? Even Meltzer fell asleep during that one.

[Use Your Illusion 0]

Eddie vs Taker? Am I the only one here that would buy the show just for that match alone?

 

Yes, I thought so.

 

Carry on.

[Exslade ZX 0]

Did you forget Chuck/Billy vs Rosey/Jamal or Goldberg vs Brock. Sure both of those had build up...but this probaly will too...point is, there have been, and probaly will be more interpromotional match ups. And to me...that card actually looks fairly decent in fact, pretty good.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

A CASKET Match...Hopefully Eddie isn't stupid enough to take a bump onto it (cough:HBK:cough).

 

I generally hate Casket Matches, so really, it's just a cheap way for UT To job.

[chaosrage 0]

Shawn Micheals vs. Kane -- streetfight

What a waste. Why is it when he's not fighting HHH, he has to always fight Batista, Orton, Mark Henry, etc..

[Guest Choken One]

ummm...Is putting X and Orton in the same match a good idea?

 

Since the characters are loosely similar....Hell so is jericho's to an extent.

 

It has to be the most egomanaical triple threat of all time.

Those were announced (in ones case way) ahead of time.

 

Unless Vince wants to throw logic completely out the window.

[Guest Anglesault]

I've already mentioned how stupid they would be to run Angle/Cena, so I'm not gonna go too into it, but they better hope for their sake that Kurt can't go by Summerslam.

[Guest Choken One]

Shawn Micheals vs. Kane -- streetfight

What a waste. Why is it when he's not fighting HHH, he has to always fight Batista, Orton, Mark Henry, etc..

Shawn's best matches tend to be against big men and Kane is one of the better Big Men and Shawn will bleed and bump like crazy....it's all good.

Ummm....Slam is about like 14 weeks away...

 

 

It's not like it's next week. Im pretty sure they will have a reason by then.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Whats the point of it? Usually there's a reason.

 

Edit: To prove my reading level has dropped, I thought it said impromptu, not interpromotional.

 

Oh well, it still would have no point to it.

I hope for Kurt's sake that he doesn't do SummerSlam. I don't want him to cripple himself even more.

Eh, I think it just seems like that because it's all he ever fights. It's not all good because Shawn shouldn't even be taking hard bumps anymore.

[Guest Choken One]

I'm betting the standard reason they used for Benoit/RVD at Slam 2002.

 

Bragging Rights.

 

and sounds like Hardyz return and win the titles because that would be the reason for them to face

 

"Who is the better Tag Team champions for which brand" and it'll be non-title of course.

[Exslade ZX 0]

Damn, it didn't edit into my post but...my opinions on that card.

 

Chris Benoit w/ Eugene in corner vs. Triple H - World Heavyweight Championship

Of course...not really a Triple H fan, but this is the only right way to go. And with Eugene in Benoit's corner..not only will it be a decent in ring match, but there are gonna be some funny antics involved.

+

 

Undertaker w/ Paul Heyman vs. Eddie Guerrero -- WWE Title/Casket Match

Never been a Taker fan...but he's pretty much the most over guy on SD whether he's not that great in ring or not. Plus it might be pretty 'cool' to see the old gimmick, casket match back. That is if they don't ruin it for us at GAB.

-+

 

Shawn Micheals vs. Kane -- streetfight

It won't be the best match pure wrestling wise, but I would enjoy to see these two go at it in a brawl. PLus it's something fresh...since we haven't really seen HBK/Kane.

+

 

Rob Van Dam vs. Booker T -- U.S. Title

Of course this match should be enjoyable...and I have to say it's about damn time. I mean..what since did it make to have the two go over to SD together angry with each other...and then 2 weeks later just forget about their feud? What the hell? Maybe they'll bring the old you sucked when we were partners...and how much they really hated each other on RAW stuff up.

+

 

Chris Jericho vs. Randy Orton vs. Christian -- Intercontinental Title

Well nothing really needs to be said about this, love each guy in this match, and the build up would be bad ass when Christian gets back full time and starts pulling off his promos.

+

 

John Cena vs. Kurt Angle

I liked the last time these two went against each other...and this time there's actually build up, so it should be great.

+

 

Edge vs. Shelton Benjamin

Not really understanding this, unless it's an IC #1 contender, but it should be decent, and even better if SHelton goes over.

+

 

Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero -- Cruiserweight Title

Ehh...I've never liked Chavo at all. So it should be a good cruiser match in ring, but not one I'd be really greatly into because I'm tired of seeing these two go at it.

-+

 

Dudleys vs. Hardyz (assuming Jeff is cleared to return) -- Interpromotional Tag Team Match

I actually do'nt think this one will happen, but it should be decent, and maybe better Matt seeing as recently he's been lackluster, even if they are pushing him terribly. But it would be decent if they went back to their old school matches.

-+

 

That's my IMO...and the +,-+,- stuff shouldn't be that hard to get. Just telling whether or not I'd probaly enjoy..or so-so and there's six matches I'd think I'd definitely enjoy so good card IMO.

[Guest Choken One]

Shawn Micheals vs. Kane -- streetfight

What a waste. Why is it when he's not fighting HHH, he has to always fight Batista, Orton, Mark Henry, etc..

Shawn's best matches tend to be against big men and Kane is one of the better Big Men and Shawn will bleed and bump like crazy....it's all good.

Eh, I think it just seems like that because it's all he ever fights. It's not all good because Shawn shouldn't even be taking hard bumps anymore.

If you ask me...

 

Shawn is better conditioned now at 38 to take bumps then he was back in 1996 when he bumped so hard and so long that it made Curt Hening go "god damn it kid, stop that".

 

 

Who else would HBK be suited for? Kane is a big name on shawn's level...

 

 

Benjamin? Edge? maybe but shawn has to turn for that and despite all conventional wisdom...they wont do it.

[Guest The Winter Of My Discontent]

Eddie vs Taker? Am I the only one here that would buy the show just for that match alone?

 

Yes, I thought so.

 

Carry on.

I would like to see it. Undertaker occasionally works magic with smaller wrestlers. It would be disappointing to see him win the title though.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

I'm really surprised and dissapointed that one of the many naysayers on this board hasn't made a comment that Eugene will be paired with Benoit because Benoit has no heat.

 

Either way, he's not needed in the match and fuck any and all comedy spots they plan on doing if this takes place.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

It's called a heel turn...although that would be fucking stupid at this point.
