Are there going to be commercials during the match like angle/brock ?I would be happy if they had the ironman match uncut and then ended the show.that's just me.

[haVoc 0]

So is this match taking up the first or second hour?

[Guest Fook]

They'll have commercials for sure.

 

I just hope they plan it out this time so there aren't any falls during the breaks like Brock/Angle.

[slimm44 0]

They will probably work off the Judgment Day Iron Man Match finish by having Eugene run in and beat Triple H, followed by William Regal, then Flair will come to take care of Eugene. But the Hurricane will run down and stop Flair. Then we'll hear immediately following the match we will have Hurricana nd Flair wrestle. But Flair won't be ready so he has to wrestle in his Florida Gators underwear. HAHAHA.

First hour. Coach said on Heat it would start the show.

[haVoc 0]

Whatever the finish will be, it should set up the main event for the second hour then.

[Guest ManKinnd]

Doesn't the fact that it starts the show guarantee controversy like Jericho's phantom title reign over HHH?

[redbaron29 0]

Are you suggesting that Hunter could win the title in the first hour....only to have beniot win it back in the second hour??

 

As a member of the crowd....that would probably cause me to mark out hard core and make me scream my ass off untill the end of the show.

 

 

But I really don't see it going that way

[Guest The Ultimate Fantasy]

My prediction: Eugene interference at the and something related to Randy Orton (maybe a beatdown and a RKO causing Benoit to lose one of his falls.)

I actually REALLY like this idea. The idea of Hunter having a "phantom" title reign by winning the title at the 10:00 spot, and then having a re-match as the 2nd houir main event, I'd be all for that.

[redbaron29 0]

Me too. Just for the fact it is pretty hard for me to get into shows when I see them live....But I sure as fuck would if that happen.

 

But like I said....dont really see them pulling that one on us....Still I like the idea

[SuperJerk 0]

I'll bet good money that Benoit is the first one pinned, just so HHH can say next week "if it was a normal match I'd have won."

[Promoter 0]

If Triple H wins the title in the first hour how and who would give him a rematch on the same broadcast? Bischoff wouldn't do that to Triple H.

[Dandy 0]

They shouldn't be able to vacate the title on a tie considering that in the event of a tie, the belt remains with the champ. That was a finish in HHH/HBK around the end of last year or start of this year.

[redbaron29 0]

no BUT MR. FACE MCMAHON WOULD!!!

 

 

MUHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!

 

oh well im off to pittsburgh

[Guest Coffey]

Well, I hope Chris Benoit brings change for a dollar tonight, because he's going to play the game. Actually, I think Triple H will have the lead, or it'll be tied, up until the very last minute where Eugene costs Triple H the title. Triple H loses and goes on to Summerslam to face Eugene. Benoit keeps the title and goes on to Summerslam as the champion. Then they can use the second hour to show Randy Orton doing something to get his shot at Benoit.

[slimm44 0]

In addition to the Diva Search, they will be checking into the democratic convention as well. So look for only a few matches in the second hour

[Guest bigm350]

I'm looking forward to a really good match. It should hit **** but it might not live up to the hype and hit *** at the most.

[Promoter 0]

Well, Triple and Benoit might have had Flair and HBK give them pointers which can't hurt. Hell, maybe even Hart gave some words to Benoit for all we know.

[benoit4hor 0]

Maybe they plan on putting on a great match, as a way to hype Benoit's DVD.

[Guest wrestlingbs]

Vince comes out to start the show, announces Eugene as the special guest ref. Straight forward match with Evo coming in only to be held back by Eugene. Benoit wins in a mega-falls finish, but HHH is pissed at Eugene for making the call.

[Just John 0]

Here's a finish idea:

 

First it's established that there must be a winner and we'll have OT if necessary. You could have Hunter down 5-4 or 4-3, then let HHH pick up a fall with the pedigree with about 40 seconds to go. While HHH is gloating, have Benoit get a quick roll up with about 5 seconds left for the win.

 

Unfortunately, we'll most likely get an overbooked clusterfuck.

[Dark Age 0]

Rollup doesn't establish anything. Benoit looks like a fluke, Triple H like an idiot. Someone needs to go over clean to settle it.

[Guest tangerine]

I really hope Triple H and Benoit raided the vault and looked at the Steamboat/Rude 30 minute Ironman because I believe that style would work best for those two.

 

I think they should have a 4 way elimination match to determine who is the #1 contender

 

Jericho-Kane-Edge-Orton. Here Orton can get the title shot rightfully and finally go over edge clean.

I agree completely. They already did a roll up finish at Vengeance. It's time to take it to the next level.

HHH has already had an Iron Man match that topped Steamboat/Rude.

 

Rock/HHH redefined what an Iron Man COULD be.

I'd like it to be tied, maybe 3-3 or something. At the end, both mean are just beat up, bleeding, and they are both out. The double count is going, and right before they hit ten Benoit raises up. He looks around, bleeding and seemingly out of his mind. He goes to HHH as if he's going for a pin, but instead he looks up after looking down at HHH, and does the "cut the throat" thing very intensely. He climbs the turnbuckly, leaps off, and lands one of the greatest diving headbuts ever. HHH is barely moving, HHH is barely moving, but he gets over, gets on top of HHH, and actually pins him in the middle of the ring.

 

But then again, it's just my dream here.

[algrim 0]

I guess it will always be what the fans want as opposed to what HHH wants. That consistency will make or break the match.

Sunset flip?
