BHK 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2004 On last week's Raw, HHH was not involved in the finish of the Triple Threat match. WIth jericho as GM, does this knock Hunter out of the running completely? Is it just so they can give him another title reign by having him win it back at New Year's Revolution from Benoit, thereby getting his job back and then dropping it to Orton at WM 21? Is it possible that they're building to something other than HHH/Orton for the WM 21 main event? HHH/Batista perhaps? Thoughts on this, anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMann2003 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2004 Not that it means much, but the digital cable preview says "Who is the new champion, Edge or Benoit?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BGNJ Report post Posted December 6, 2004 The answer to that is neither. Here's my opinion of what will happen: Edge and Benoit will fight and determine who the champ is. Next week HHH comes out and says since Orton hit him with a chair and he shouldn't have been involved in the match anyway the match should have been thrown out and therefore neither Benoit or Edge will be the champ. This will nullify everything that has been going on the past few weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, is was Edge that pinned Benoit at Survivor Series. From Prowrestlinghistory.com: Randy Orton, Maven, Chris Benoit, & Chris Jericho beat Triple H, Gene Snitsky, Batista, & Edge (24:31) in an “elimination” match. Orton was the sole survivor. Triple H pinned Benoit (7:24). Jericho pinned Batista (10:39). Snitsky was DQed (16:05). Triple H pinned Maven (16:50). Edge pinned Jericho (19:04). Orton pinned Edge (22:59).

tbondrage99 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2004 This is what I think should happen. Jericho makes a no DQ match between Benoit and Edge, so that there will be a winner either way screw job or not and while hes at it would name himself the #1 contender for the title at the next Raw PPV as not to miss out on his title shot. A friend of mine said that Jericho should go totally curropt with power and just say that since there is no clear champion that he would award himself the title. Being a huge Jericho fan I would love to see that happen even though we know it wont. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2004 Holy shit, an original thread. He ain't dropping it tonight. If we're fantasy booking, I'd dig seeing Jericho pull out the not-often-seen Double Jeopardy match that was used in ECW. Hell, he could reference the DVD while he's at it. Two matches going on at the same time, no dq's. Jericho vs Edge and Benoit vs HHH. HHH goes over Benoit and Jericho goes over Edge so we get Jericho vs HHH for the world title. The problem with this match is that the booking basically dictates the the two matches finish at the same time or else the dynamic of the situation is lost.

Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted December 6, 2004 HHH won't lose it, it will remain in contravisery for one more week then when Bischoff comes back he will cement his Tweener back to Heel role and reaward the title to HHH due to Orton's interferance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2004 Jericho should declare the title vacant and book a mini-tournament for the night. It'd be a simple way to start up new feuds and could create some really interesting scenarios, as well as being a good way to add fuel to the impending Batista/HHH confrontation.

Guest Loss Report post Posted December 6, 2004 Jericho will look like a total tool if he books a title match that doesn't involve him in some capacity. And I have a strange feeling that's exactly what he's going to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tbondrage99 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2004 Even if he did do that as long as he made himself #1 contender for the next PPV or the next Raw it wouldnt come off like that at all. But yeah if he dosent get a title shot in one way or another then that would be completely stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think part of the reason may be for the "Trish vs Lita" match. Anyway, I'm glad Jericho is the last one. Hopefully it's something good for him and hopefully I can finally get my Benoit vs Jericho bout I've been waiting so long for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Loss Report post Posted December 6, 2004 It can be argued that Edge is the most interesting character in the main event picture right now, simply because he's going to go completely insane if he isn't given the belt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Fook_Theta Report post Posted December 6, 2004 JR said something to the effect of "We will see a champion crowned tomorrow" on Heat last night. They could keep up the swerve until PPV, and honestly I'm not sure if it wouldn't be a bad idea to end this booking fiasco at the PPV, where they can take more liberties with angles.
