strummer 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2004 From Meltzer: At today's press conference in Milwaukee for Taboo Tuesday, they announced a few things for the 10/19 show: Fans will choose among four candidates, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, Chris Benoit or Edge, as HHH's opponent. Very strange mentioning Edge at this point. They pushed Orton hard as he was the only one who spoke about wanting the shot. Stacy Keibler would be in a match where fans vote on what she will wear. On TV, they are pushing in the direction of Molly Holly. The three choices in Eric Bischoff vs. Eugene are loser wears a dress, hair vs hair or loser has to be a servant for the winner. Well, it's Bischoff's time to pay penance once again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2004 ok... 1) HBK nor Edge should be nowhere near the gold at this point, and even though I don't want to see the eventual loss, signs could be pointing at a Benoit win at the polls (if it's rigged) or a Orton win if it's not. 2) What she'll wear?! I don't even want to start to fathom why the writers even bothered on that one. 3) Loser wears a dress!? See (2). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2004 I'll bet Michaels wins the poll to face Hunter AGAIN this year, since storyline wise the Hell In The Cell was supposed to be the final blowoff. Then they'll make it seem like the fans want to see it again (I sure as hell don't) and start another feud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strummer 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2004 They're clearly trying to make Stacy the #1 female babyface on Raw, probably since Victoria bombed in the role, Lita is involved in the Kane angle, and Nidia is well, Nidia. The last couple of weeks they have portrayed Vicky as Stacy's little buddy just around for the ride. It must suck for the other women to watch Stacy get this push while they have been working hard and trying to improve. Meanwhile, Stacy doesn't have to work on House Shows, while the other women work every weekend. To further rub it in, Stacy is portrayed as the biggest star on TV despite doing nothing.

Guest DeathBecomesYou Report post Posted September 27, 2004 I really hope that this doesn't lead to another HHH/HBK series, Edge vs HHH doesn't really appeal and HHH/Orton will probably (or hopefully) be put off for a major PPV, so I guess that'll leave Benoit. I'spose HHH has to get his win back. As crappy as the idea of Stacy as a "wrestler" is, I guess WWE wants her to be the star of the division, at least until they bring Lita back (wow, which one is worse Stacy or Lita?). Apparently though, Stacy now wants to be an actual wrestler as opposed to eye candy and is rumoured to be training with Molly in order to improve. So I guess Molly's drawn the short straw of having to make Stacy look somewhat reasonable out there, though she made Torrie, Terri and Lita look decent, I think making Stacy look good will be one hell of a challenge for Molly. As for Eugene/Bischoff, poor old Eric. I'll probably go with loser must be the winners servant as the likely stip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2004 They're clearly trying to make Stacy the #1 female babyface on Raw, probably since Victoria bombed in the role...Stacy is portrayed as the biggest star on TV despite doing nothing. Sadly, I think you're right. Care to guess who the new WWE "Babe of the Year" is? Try to guess. Go ahead...give it your best shot. Not that I'm insinuating WWE would fix a poll...despite the fact that Lita has gotten a bigger push and more TV time (and was in the finals!). If she had any upper body mass to speak of, she should be the female Kevin Nash. 3 moves, long legs, a chubby ass, and is more concerned with how her hair looks at a given time than her workrate.

Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted September 27, 2004 So basically it's going to be rigged for either HBK or Orton to win. I doubt many people would vote for either but I'm thinking HBK wins and then feuds with HHH until RR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

res37618 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2004 So, what I'm wondering is this . . . . Since HBK is in the World title "chase" at Taboo Tuesday, his natural opponent otherwise at this point would be Christian. So, if HBK doesn't win the poll, will he not wrestle at all, or will he be thrown in a last-minute match with Christian? It seems that the guys that don't win the voting will either not be involved in a match at the PPV, or they'll be put into a match during Heat or something, and I find it rather unbelievable that they would have a PPV and have most of their top guys NOT appear just because they didn't win the fan polls. I kinda like the concept of the show, but it just seems like it'll be chaos figuring out what to do with all of these guys that don't win the fan voting. Am I crazy or did that make any sense?

Karc 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2004 It doesn't matter who wins the vote. Triple H is winning the match. If Triple H was in the poll he wouldn't have a chance, something that would have been very different in 2000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember HBK/HHH tends to tank buyrates. Are we seriously going to go through this again.......that's not an accurate statement and the last several times they've been on PPV, it's done the same level as everything else. Actually, it wouldn't shock me if Bad Blood is one of the highest bought non big shows by the end of the year.
