I'm pretty sure JBL will keep the belt till Wrestlemania for someone like Taker or Big Show to come along and take it off of him For the title, but I'm just going hypothetical because JBL probably will still hold the belt. We were fairly sure by Rumble time last year that we'd be getting Brock/Goldberg, so the NWO title switch doesn't seem surprising. While JBL's reign seems pointless, but at least keeping it going that long should in theory put over the winner in a big way, but Cena's just "there" right now so I can't get excited about him just yet, regardless of the match he'd be in. Please; no heel turn for Eddy. RVD and Mysterio Vs Eddy and Booker T 2/3 Falls Match. It's SO FUCKING EASY! 2/3 falls for a tag match? On a WWE PPV? Since when? For Rumble, sure (1 fall...), but it seems for Mania WWE usually gives us some sort of 3-4 team elimination match these days. Plus, who gives a damn about the SD tag titles? Or the Raw tag titles? Seriously? The matches would be good but to what end? Also, I don't *want* an Eddy heel turn, but if they went that way it could give us some interesting matches.

CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2005 World Title Match Chris Benoit Vs Edge Kurt Angle Vs Shawn Michaels So, will the Edge/Michaels thing never happen? I don't know how much I like that. But I do really like Benoit/Edge in the ring together. Randy Orton Vs The Rock With Rocky the heel? Woman's Title Cage Match Trish Vs Lita Nah, I'll pass. The only way a cage match in WWE women's division will be good is with Trish bumping. Faces are usually the big bumpers in in these matches, and Lita's hesistant bumping in the match will be cringe worthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scroby 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2005 Cena has the mark momentum going for him, for the smart fans he's stale and he's got that ugly ass belt that just about everyone hates. I kinda wonder if the same thing would happen to the world title if he had it, that'd be kinda scary. Anyways Cena going for the world title, wouldn't doubt my mind at all, and he maybe drops the title to Carlito or someone else rather than Kenzo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd just have Edge/Shawn on a SUPER hyped raw after rumble with a Street Fight match. Not all angles have to be blown off on ppv, jericho/x wasnt. Rock and Orton can play either role really but might as well keep Orton face for now. It's supposed to be the Ultimate Blowoff for Trish/Lita...a simple match wouldn't do. It's supposed to be the most "violent" and "passionate" feud ever in woman's wrestling....the cage works with it and it adds a charm. There's never been PPV Woman's Cage match.

Angle-plex 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2005 WWE Title Match JBL Vs The Big Show Bradshaw needs to drop the title by WrestleMania (Jesus, did I just type that?). A big win over him by anyone won't mean much since he's getting the Honky Tonk Man title reign that has not worked since, well, Honky Tonk Man. However, all possible title matches for Smackdown SUCK, so I guess they'll go ahead and give Cena the win even though it will be too early. The best possible scenario for that belt is to hotshot it to Angle and trade HBK over to Smackdown after the Rumble. No other face challenger would work (Eddie is stale, Booker is stale, RVD wont get pushed, Rey's too small, Cena's not ready). Big Show is the possible exception, although I don't think the world is demanding a Big Show WWE Title win at WrestleMania. Fatal Four Way Ladder Match I.C Title Jericho Vs Benjamin Vs Hardy Vs Christian Jericho shouldn't be in IC title matches. I don't even LIKE Jericho anymore, but the IC title needs to establish it's own division. Benjamin vs Hardy vs Xtian wouldn't be bad, although I'd prefer Benjamin vs Hassan if his gimmick stays strong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Shadow Behind You Report post Posted January 8, 2005 Jericho's left out if he's not involved with those three... I'm sorry but he's not getting anywhere near the main event for Maina. Stick him with the other good workers. Im getting bad responses for the JBL/TBS idea but I hate the idea of Cena getting the spot what seems to early. I'm not dumb, I know it's Cena/JBL in a Champion Vs Champion showdown. I just hate the concept of a stale Cena going over on top @ Mania. I honestly think we're better off with JBL keeping the title beyond Cena....Cena has no one feud with over the title...Maybe Angle. Keep the title on JBL and then shake up the roster and make smackdown fresher with new rivals like Jericho or Shawn or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dark Age 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2005 JBL keeping the title beyond Mania? PASS. They should just get the title off him on the next house show. Its so bad right now. Eddie vs Angle part three SHOULD have been the main event, but they screwed it up around SummerSlam time. Whatever, they suck anyway, so it's not like I care. And Rock vs Orton would BOMB with Rock as a heel. The crowd would turn on Orton SO bad. In fact, they should do it, because I would enjoy that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted January 8, 2005 Have Chris Benoit move to Smackdown again and beat JBL for the title at Wrestlemania. It's a better scenario than Big Show (who really hasn't had too good of runs in the past), John Cena (staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaale!), Eddie Guerrero (depushed), Booker T (glass ceiling victim), and whoever else.

zyn081 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2005 WWE is doing RAW and Smackdown TV tapings in Japan?! Awesome... too bad it makes very little sense sending two divas instead of, you know, ACTUAL WRESTLERS JAPANESE PEOPLE WILL CARE ABOUT. Maybe Benoit, Eddie Guerrero... someone who wrestled in Japan before maybe. EYE CANDY Believe it or not; contray to many idiotic notions around here...The Japanese aren't all "WORK-RATE~!" as we like to assume they are. They are males too. They like tall blond big chested girls. They dont have much of that in Japan. Many people a couple years back before WWE returned to Japan after a LONG hiatus idioticaly said they would shit on the product; yet it sold out and they had incredible reactions. Yeah, how can we forget the Torrie-Kenzo Skit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eddie FINALLY gets "the rub", you get an awesome match, and it gives Eddie something to do. Be better than Shawn/Angle and serve more purpose. It's not like they care about the roster split, so Rock going to SD won't matter. Also, I think Eddie might be the only guy in the company that the fans WON'T turn on against Rocky. Cena would get killed on the mic, Orton would just get killed, and everyone else isn't even being considered. Eddie could hold his own and be made into a star.

Guest wildpegasus Report post Posted January 9, 2005 WP's Predictions for Angle vs Michaels if it indeed does happen at Mania Lots of people will love it. There will be a very exciting finish stretch that will be paced well with lots of false finishes. Expect some very cool transistions as well. People will sook about nonselling. Puroheads and ROHbots will tear it down once they hear all the 4+ star comments This match will be one of the most talked/debated about matches in WWE history No doubt it'll be exciting - I expect lots of crowd heat for this one.

Kizzo 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2005 WMXXI should be 44.99. It shouldn't be that either....more like 34.95...since they are going to have the rematches the next night anways...and highlights from the show as well... One thing I liked about wCw PPVs they would only show screenshots of the PPV"s and never show the actual video footage.....makes those who actually "purchased" the show feel special WWE PPV prices: Wrestlemania: 34.95 Big 4 PPV's : 29.99 RAW and Smackdown PPVs: 19.99 But it would never happen....

Since its WrestleMania, Rock doesn't have to be moved to Smackdown. They can just have a inter-promotional match but to do Rock vs Eddy you need some sort of month or so booking. The WWE can't just throw it together in two weeks and hope it would draw fans because it wouldn't. So that would require the Rock to be on the road with WWE from the Royal Rumble to Wrestlemania to get the proper set up. I can't see the Rock doing that, infact he hasn't since Goldberg came onto the scene almost two years ago. Plus Rock vs Eddy might be good and I'm sure the two would have a good time with it, but it wouldn't top Angle vs HBK whatsoever. Unless Angle vs HBK tanked but hopefully the WWE wouldn't screw it up that badly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
