Guest Report post Posted May 10, 2002 Some of the matches listed below are unconfirmed. WWE Undisputed Title Match Hulk Hogan vs. The Undertaker Hell in the Cell Match Triple H vs. Chris Jericho Hair vs. Hair Match Kurt Angle vs. Edge WWE Intercontinental Title Match Eddy Guerrero vs. Rob Van Dam WWE European Title Match William Regal vs. D-Lo Brown WWE Tag Team Titles Match Billy & Chuck vs. Al Snow & Maven Ric Flair & The Big Show vs. Steve Austin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- Okay, I know this is a little premature because angles could change and matches could change as well, but by the looks of this card, who do you think/should go over? Hogan Vs Taker; Neither should even be in this match, but I think we're gonna see Taker walk out as Champion. Hogan will be one of the guys to do a run in earlier in the night during the "Hell In The Cell" match and cost Jericho the match. So, Jericho will return the "favor" by costing Hogan the belt. HOPEFULLY, it works the other way and Triple H losses the match because of Hogan doing a "run-in" and somehow Hogan will costs Triple H the match by accident, so Triple H gets his revenge by costing Hogan the title and turning heel in the mean time. HHH Vs Jericho, HITC; Jericho really needs to win here CLEAN, but read above. ^^^^ Kurt Vs Edge, Hair match; Does anyone really believe Edge will get his hair shaved/cut? Eddie Vs RVD; I really don't care which one of these guys have the IC Championship. I like em' both. However, I would think RVD would get his win back here, but I don't see it happening. Eddie = Winner. Regal Vs D-Lo; Don't really care. Just because of the way WWE uses Regal, I'm going with him. Billy & Chuck Vs Maven/Al Snow; Once again, really could give two flying fucks! Doesn't really make sence to have the belts on anyone else besides Billy & Chuck. But, since when does the WWF(E) ever make sence? I can see Snow & Maven winning the titles here, because of the last Tough Enough 2 episode and the new "Tough Enough" kid being announced at the end of this month. Austin Vs Big Show/Flair; Big Show & Flair should and really do need to win this, but Austin will win with 18 Stunners over all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Just call me Dan Report post Posted May 10, 2002 WWE Undisputed Title Match Hulk Hogan vs. The Undertaker I see Hogan hanging on. He'll lose to someone who won't be a transitional champ. The WWE could really pop a buyrate and advance something here if they had Taker go totally off and promise the return to darkness at judgement day. Giving him a long backstage promo thretening Hogan's life and promoting the Dead Man's return I think would do something for the buys. I wouldn't mind Taker going over then and holding the belt for a hwile with a new gimmick and with his ring work as of late. Prediciton: Hogan Hell in the Cell Match Triple H vs. Chris Jericho The build is a little rushed, but nice so far. If they continue to make this heated and a focal point it will come off a lot better. I want Jericho, but HHH has this in the bag and he will be in the title hunt again. Prediciton: HHH Hair vs. Hair Match Kurt Angle vs. Edge Edge will not lose his air. Angle will do the job for Edge and continue his mega push. Sad for Angle, he deserves better, I can't even imagine where he goes from here. Should be a good match for those who didn't see the first. It may be exactly the same with just a stipulation. Prediciton: Edge WWE Intercontinental Title Match Eddy Guerrero vs. Rob Van Dam With the complaining about RVD's style and such, Eddie will stay over and move on. RVD will move into a boring and pointless feud with someone we don't care about, signaling a nice depush for him. I hope he kicks it up and Vince starts giving him the star power he deserves. I'm hoping this will be an excellent match. Prediciton: Eddie WWE European Title Match William Regal vs. D-Lo Brown Probably a carbon copy of the Booker T/ Edge quick and pointless match at Wrestlemania. This time the heel goes over with the awe inspiring power of the punch. Boring Prediciton: Regal WWE Tag Team Titles Match Billy & Chuck vs. Al Snow & Maven Crap, I don't care. Billy and Chuck stay on top so the WWF can restore prestige to the titles no one cares about. Prediction: Billy and Chuck Ric Flair & The Big Show vs. Steve Austin Austin squashes them and goes over killing the nWo and making him happy. Prediciton: Austin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Black Tiger Report post Posted May 10, 2002 Hulk Hogan vs. The Undertaker Hogan will retain, probably HHH Interference like Anglesault said. Triple H vs. Chris Jericho Hopefully Bloody. HHH is out of steam, if he wins then I may have to jump on the bandwagon. A win could really help Jericho in his ME push Kurt Angle vs. Edge I don't think anyone will really be shaved. Edge will win and Kurt will beat him up or something. But if Kurt's wanting to do the Olympics is true, then its a perfect way to get him off TV. Eddy Guerrero vs. Rob Van Dam RVD will probably win, I'd like to see Eddy retain to do a feud wit Jeff Hardy William Regal vs. D-Lo Brown D-Lo will win Billy & Chuck vs. Al Snow & Maven Maven is too damn green, the WWF needs more tag teams. Ric Flair & The Big Show vs. Steve Austin LOGICAL booking says Flair and Big Show win. Austin will probably come out on top though. other possible matches: Randy Orton vs Hardcore Holly, Steven Richards vs Bubba Dudely, Molly Holly vs Terri.

Guest Report post Posted May 11, 2002 THE BLOCKBUSTER MAIN EVENT OF THE CENTURY... The Undertaker v.s WWE Champion, Hulk "Cash-In Vince" Hogan Taker Mark's Prediction - Im gonna go out and say that the Taker is gonna bring home the gold. Vince would have to be a moron not to realise that Hogan cannot draw anymore and that his run lasted all of one month in terms of popularity. Taker, however, is still over, Taker has been getting pops his whole career, he has an impressive entrance and is in with the fans. So...GIVE THE GUY THE BELT! Hell in a Cell - Christopher Irvine faces Paul Levesque Taker Mark's Prediction - Chris Jericho will win, he has been on the backburner too long since his loss at Wrestlemania, he needs to be placed directly within the spotlight and a win over Trippers in a Cell Match will most certainly do that. Im all for Jericho, but of course...you must take into consideration the relationship Triple H has with Vince's anus. Angle - Edge = Edge Bald baby!!! RVD - Eddie - LAAATTTTIINO HEAT! Big Slow and Dumb & Ric "lost my" Flair v.s Steve "What" Austin. Taker Mark doesn't give a SHIT about that match... The rest...eh...

So...GIVE THE GUY THE BELT!" um....despite the bad ratings Hogan is still more over than Taker... You can't base one thing on ability to draw and the other on overness...as Hogan is proving one has nothing to do with the other. Even though hes not as over as before...Hogan is second only to Austin in most over (whether face or heel). On top of that Taker gets face pops as a heel...meaning that he is not doing his job properly...just like Hogan failed to get over as a heel with the NWO and RVD with the alliance... I don't think he should be rewarded for failing to be an over heel with a title reign that wouldn't last more than a month itself. Hotshotting the titles is a stupid thing to do.

Guest midnight_burn Report post Posted May 11, 2002 WWE Undisputed Title Match Hulk Hogan vs. The Undertaker - Taker, probably plenty of interference here. Hell in the Cell Match Triple H vs. Chris Jericho - Jericho, but only after a shitload of interference to show that Jericho can only beat HHH when he has tons of people to help him. Hair vs. Hair Match Kurt Angle vs. Edge - Edge probably WWE Intercontinental Title Match Eddy Guerrero vs. Rob Van Dam - RVD WWE European Title Match William Regal vs. D-Lo Brown - D'Lo WWE Tag Team Titles Match Billy & Chuck vs. Al Snow & Maven - Billy/Chuck Ric Flair & The Big Show vs. Steve Austin - Flair/Big Show Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 11, 2002 WWE Undisputed Title Match Hulk Hogan vs. The Undertaker -This is quite obvious that Undertaker is not going over. Vince McMahon is big on Hogan's return and won't kill his run before he can make a big payday for Austin/Hogan at Summer Slam. Expect interference here...most likely Hogan wins via DQ. 15:33 *. Hell in the Cell Match Triple H vs. Chris Jericho -I'd rather they had a normal match here and have Jericho shitcan Trips there and then have the blowoff HIAC for KOTR, where it would mean more. However, Trips has walked into Rock/Austin territory, where Jobbing/Winning does not effect him all that much. Jericho could stand to have a "Huge" win over Trips but what difference would that be from his "HUGE" wins over Rock, Austin before? Very Little, unless he can take the required "HOLY SHIT" bump. I'm expecting a match that starts slow and build into a bloddy chaotic mess with a dumb finish. 32:00 ****. Hair vs. Hair Match Kurt Angle vs. Edge -I don't know if it's just me here or not but I think the Bald Edge looks alot like bald Hawk from TE2. Doesen't matter, Angle's hair isn't much to look at anyways. Edge wins because Quite frankly, As long as "YOU SUCK!" is still around, Angle has a purpose.Expect a similar match to Backlash with a little more psychology 21:38 ***3/4. WWE Intercontinental Title Match Eddy Guerrero vs. Rob Van Dam -RVD isn't getting over with the Management but he is still getting over with fans alike. Here's a little side note: One of my old friends works at a 7-11 and I asked him if they had the WWF cups? He said yes and that they have yet to sell a Hardy Cup and RVD/Cherry is the most popular brand. Back to predictions Eddie was rumored to be in trouble on the "Plane from Hell" but J.R shot that down. Eddie isn't really working his gimmick to his fullest potential but he never been a strong "mic worker" imo. RVD will stay equally over with or without the title and besides, I'm expecting RVD to go over for the KOTR and using that for a springboard. So, looks like Eddy is keeping the title but I'd like to see a blow off ladder match at Vengence before RVD gets his big match with Jericho at Summer Slam. (just a hunch). 18:29 ***3/4. WWE European Title Match William Regal vs. D-Lo Brown -Talk about meaningless match here, William Regal is horrible in this environment. He's better suited for Japan, where he can be a MONSTER heel and not worry about boring people. Dlo hasen't captured people's attention and he looks worse then he did before (He looks too damn thin). Power of Punch oughta take the match. Regal will always win a title, make people forget about it, lose the title, and win the other secondary title, make people forget about it, lose the title and win the other title, over and over without really doing anything. 7:24 **. WWE Tag Team Titles Match Billy & Chuck vs. Al Snow & Maven -Rico has managed to MAKE this team and I'm thinking that Vince or someone has to be impressed by his ability to get AGD alot of decent heat. Maven and Al Snow aren't really "HUGE" with the fans, sure Al Snow will always get a nice pop and as will Maven on some occasions but nothing would come out of this. The tag scene is weak but as long as RICO, Billy and Chucky amuse me, I'm game. 10:05 **. Ric Flair & The Big Show vs. Steve Austin -Hopefully, they decided to save Austin/Flair for KOTR to boost a bigger buyrate for that show. Handicaps generally suck so much that even the two greatest wrestlers of the game can't make it interesting, it does not help to include the biggest dope in Professional Wrestling since Tugboat. Match will go to Flair, expect NASH to play a role here, or don't. Like it matters. TBS will do the dirty work and flair will step in with a F4L and win via knockout. Other Matches I expect Steven Richards Vs Bubba Dudley Trish Stratus Vs Molly Holly Batisa Vs Mark Henry Tajiri Vs Kidman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted May 11, 2002 Alright...lets see. Hogan vs. Taker. Hogan retains. No doubt about it...hell...until they decided at the last second to put Hogan over HHH...this was supposed to be a HHH defense. (makes you wonder how long of a future reign they promised HHH...don't it?) So Hogan wins here, beats Angle at KOTR (where Angle can cut great promos leading up to it about his being a former KOTR...), then um...maybe...um...I don't know at Vengeance...but he'll lose it to Austin at Summerslam. HHH vs. Jericho HIAC. Jericho should win. So he won't. The build so far has been for HHH to get his payback on Jericho anyway. Another HHH win. Look at it this way: they took the title off of HHH...do you really think they're gonna job him 2 ppvs in a row? HHH? didn't think so. RVD vs. Eddy. RVD gets the belt back until the WWE decides who he should trade it with next. Austin vs. Flair & Show Flair & Show win. then Austin beats Show on Raw, and Flair at KOTR...or at the next 2 ppvs. Regal vs. Dlo. Regal wins. Billy and Chuck vs. Maven & Snow. They only have this many matches so they can change the title. Maven & Snow win the belts. and...Bubba regains his hardcore title...while Tajiri loses his cruiser title.

Guest Will Scarlet Report post Posted May 11, 2002 WWE Undisputed Title Match Hulk Hogan vs. The Undertaker I think Hogan will take it here. I just cannot see Taker becoming champion, unless they want to give him one last run with the belt. Hell in the Cell Match Triple H vs. Chris Jericho Triple H in a squash, why not? Jericho is basically a jobber anyway. Hair vs. Hair Match Kurt Angle vs. Edge Edge wins here, if only because it seems to make more sense for Angle to get shaved bald, then go for surgery or whatever for awhile. WWE Intercontinental Title Match Eddy Guerrero vs. Rob Van Dam RVD WWE European Title Match William Regal vs. D-Lo Brown D-Lo, I hope. WWE Tag Team Titles Match Billy & Chuck vs. Al Snow & Maven I am hoping for Snow & Maven because I am a mark for Snow. Ric Flair & The Big Show vs. Steve Austin Flair & Show through some sort of cheating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alfdogg Report post Posted May 11, 2002 UT-Hogan Hogan. I'd really like to see Taker win, but they really shouldn't keep hotshotting the title like that. Jericho-HHH HHH. He just jobbed to Jericho on Smackdown, so, taking a quote from Foley's book from Arn Anderson, even if HHH has a heart attack and dies, Jericho will probably have to roll him on top. Then take the corpse to Smackdown and job Kurt Angle to it. Angle-Edge Edge. They seem hell-bent on pushing this guy for whatever reason, and he definitely won't be shaved bald. Sadly, this looks like it may be all for Kurt before the 2004 Olympics, as he still needs surgery. HHH, you can go straight to hell. Eddy-RVD Eddy. Screwjob victory, give this feud another month. Regal-D-Lo D-Lo (please?) The Ambiguously Gay Duo-Team Tough Enough Team TE. Like someone else said, with all the TE hype coming up. Plus they just jobbed at Backlash. GET BILLY GUNN THE FUCK OFF MY TV! Flair/Show-Austin Flair/Show should win to set up Flair-Austin at KOTR. IMO, a motivated Austin + any form of Flair = ****, at least.

Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted May 11, 2002 WWE Undisputed Title Match Hulk Hogan vs. The Undertaker -UHG. I dont want Hogan to win, but Taker is next in line on my list of guys I dont want to see win the Title. I figure Hogan wins via some sort of interference although who and how I havent figured out quite yet. Winner: Hogan Hell in the Cell Match Triple H vs. Chris Jericho -I believe this will probably be as bad as Taker Bossman from WM 15. I doubt HHH will do any sort of death defying spot off the cage, and God forbid if Jericho tries one. Probably will still end up being a good solid match but not up to par with past HIAC. Winner: HHH Hair vs. Hair Match Kurt Angle vs. Edge -I just realized that the WWE is showing some continutiy with the Edge Angle match. I mean if Edge loses and gets his hair shaved off, he wont be able to do the Japanese Shampoo commercials anymore. Winner: Edge, Since Angle going bald isnt that big of a deal. WWE Intercontinental Title Match Eddy Guerrero vs. Rob Van Dam -A Tough one to pick, but it should still be a very entertaining match. Winner: RVD WWE European Title Match William Regal vs. D-Lo Brown -Well, this very well could be a good match, but somehow I dont think its going to end up being that way, ie probably about a 4-5 minute match with a silly finish. Winner: Regal via the brass knucks WWE Tag Team Titles Match Billy & Chuck vs. Al Snow & Maven -God, I think everyone agrees that Billy and Chuck need to lose the titles, but to Al Snow and Maven? I figure the AGT survives yet another title match because Vince is trying to torture us or something. Winners: AGT Ric Flair & The Big Show vs. Steve Austin -Well, I wish they'd fire the Big Show, that would at least make for a good Austin vs Flair match, which I personally wanted to see a whole hell of a lot more than Rock Hogan. As it stands, I can't see this match being worth the time it took to build up to it. Winner: Austin Matches possibly added Goldust vs Booker T -Probably will be announced on RAW unless they decide to be partners again. Hardcore Title Match Stephen Richards vs Buh Buh Dudley -And I guarantee you that Lesnar wins the title via the 24/7 rule. Cruiserweight Title Match Tajiri vs The Hurricane -The mysterious person comes and costs the Hurricane the Match Overall I think it will be a decent show, but the main event and the Handicapped match will drag it down a notch.

Guest cabbageboy Report post Posted May 11, 2002 I would think the RVD 7-11 cups would be the most popular since he is the guy advertising them on TV. Those spots crack me up, why is he wearing his wrestling tights with a pair of jeans? Ha! For what it's worth on the house show circuit and the English PPV they've been doing a DQ ending to that RVD/Eddie match. I'm thinking that Eddie gets himself DQed at the PPV and then RVD will beat him in the KOTR tourney on his way to the KOTR title and close out that feud (sorta like Shamrock and Rock from 1998).

I'm expecting a match that starts slow and build into a bloddy chaotic mess with a dumb finish. 32:00 ****. I don't know. All the signs seem to be pointing to Taker getting the belt. Jim Ross has been going on during all these radio interviews about how Hogan should not be overexposed (way too late for that) and that he thinks it would be best if Hogan only appeared on one show. Meltzer has said that there's no confusion about who to blame for the low ratings in the WWF office. Everyone knows that it's Hogan's fault and that he's driving away younger viewers who don't want to see some fossil hold the WWF title. There's also not much of anything left for Hogan to do on top. The only possible money match left for Hogan is Austin, who is currently starting up a long term feud with Ric Flair. I don't think the WWF can afford to keep Hogan on top for another 3 months to build to a SummerSlam match with Hogan. Triple H/Hogan did a horrible buyrate according to the preliminary reports, so why they would want to repeat that two months later. I would not be surprised if the WWF decided to put the belt on Taker and then have Austin chase him on RAW and Triple H chase him on Smackdown. Of course, with Flair and McMahon trying to constantly screw them. Well, until the ratings fall like they do everytime Taker is on top and then they'll hotshot the belt once again. Triple H is going over in the HITC. Like there was ever any doubt. Jericho needs the win, which is exactly why he won't get it. I think a win over Triple H in HITC would be a huge deal for Jericho because of their history together and because of Triple H's histroy in the HITC match. If it was done correctly and promoted correctly, then the WWE would not have to worry about Jericho being over as a top tier guy. The reason the Austin matches did nothing for Jericho is because there was far more concern in making sure Austin did not look bad than there was in making Jericho look good. They've already ruined the Smackdown match from a couple weeks ago. Everytime anyone mentions Jericho's win over Triple H, like a broken record Michael Cole screams out "thanks to the Undertaker" to make sure no one thinks Jericho could actually beat Triple H. I won't go into another long rant on the subject but this idea that there are these 2-3 guys on the very top (Austin, Triple H, Rock) and NO ONE is ever good enough to beat them clean or portrayed as being on their same level is one of the main reasons why the WWF has become so stale.
