Guest The Shadow Behind You Report post Posted December 13, 2004 I figure Kidman unseats Funaki at SD! this week and hopefully Funaki was just a transition champion for the Kidman/Akio/London/Chavo feud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted December 13, 2004 All the champions are faces... except for the World Champion. JBL is obviously retaining now, plus the fact the title never changes hands in 4-Ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Shadow Behind You Report post Posted December 13, 2004 JBL has always been going over and he should. 'Taker and Book don't have any right to be champion and Eddy; well he lost his chance and I'm thinking Vince doesn't trust him anymore. Which is telling since Eddy and Benoit dropped the titles, Benoit has retained his spot at the upper card and is consistantly main eventing. While Eddy has bounced around the card.

SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2004 ^Give me a break.^ Eddie's "chance" worked until he started feuding with Bradshaw, and the rating started tanking. JBL's been a horrible draw. I guess the only thing to do now is guess who will be the one to pin JBL and have the ref totally miss it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2004 Lol...they're doing this whole 'JBL just lost his puppy that was like a brother to him thing'. Ok..crazy analogy...but JBL keeps looking at his cabinet...sort of sobbing...and sulking...and they look back at him with puppy dog eyes...lmao. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garth 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2004 This 4 way kind of reminds me of the HIAC at Armageddon 2000, nobody thinks JBL can do it, pulls out the win anyway to major heel heat. I think this match could really legitimize his title reign if he's made to look like he can hang with the rest of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest I *Heart* Jeff Weaver Report post Posted December 13, 2004 Besides, someone said Jindrak got pinned Still, anytime the underdog wins a handicap match, especially when it's a 1 vs. 3 or 2 vs. 4 situation, the bigger team looks bad. Even when the guy on the other side is about the same weight as the other three combined? Three well built athletic men not be able to take out one guy regardless of his size is kind of sad. It probably won't hurt anyone in the long run but I've never been a fan of one guy single handedly taking out several. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeDirt 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2004 If you're hoping JBL loses tonight, you're going to be really disappointed. If you're hoping JBL isn't in the title picture for all of 2005, you're going to be really disappointed. My suggestion is to start liking JBL or not watch Smackdown.

If this and Orton-HHH is the main event, Wrestlemania better have one of the greatest undercards of all time, cause otherwise I won't be ordering this.

Guest The Shadow Behind You Report post Posted December 13, 2004 Eddy; well he lost his chance and I'm thinking Vince doesn't trust him anymore. How exactly did Eddie lose his chance? Eddy had problems handling the pressure of being the top name carrying the title and Vince publically said he didn't think less of Eddy because of it but you know honestly that Vince has to look at Eddy with a suspect eye now before thinking of handing him another reign.

We've got Show at Rumble I'm guessing, then we've got No Way Out, I'd expect he won't actually defend it here and they'll be some kind of tag match leading up to Mania like there usually is and we have him vs Cena at Mania. Pure guess work, but it seems logical enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think with Angle's neck the way it is they decided not to have him in the main event again. Could we possibly see Angle vs. HBK and Taker/Kane vs. Heidenreich/Snitsky? It's quite possible... It's pretty clear that WWE doesn't trust putting Angle in a high spot title match with two straight years of having neck problems going into. I'm sure they want to get the "dream" HBK/Angle match NOW before they completely miss the boat. Undertaker wanted a "classic" match at Mania and he won't get that with Kane and Snitsky. Maybe he should beg Vince to reconsider Heyman's Benoit Vs 'Taker idea again. I had JBL/Cena written in for the WWE Title match since No Mercy...even when Angle and Taker were playing politics.

Why would they have two Raw PPV's in a row with New Years Revolution (Raw) Rumble (Joint) then No Way Out as a Raw event, that makes no sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
