Watching Mania XX...seeing the Changes

[ChrisMWaters 0]

He's done Flash, Daredevil and Batman(in ECW) before, Spiderman and Superman are too mainstream now. He should do another less known comic along the lines of Flash or Daredevil...

 

I know no comics so I can't make a prediction, but what about one of the X-Men like Wolverine?

 

Personally, I hope rey breaks out the Purple Bodysuit ala HH97 for historical sake.

As long as he doesn't do Electra, we'll be fine.

 

...hmm...maybe a masked version of The Punisher...or is that too mainstream too?

[Guest Shadow]

Well I have no idea who the punisher is. so i guess it's not that mainstream and I know there was a movie but it wasn't much of a culture hit.

 

I'd say Wolverine would rock because it's a different color scheme then the last two and people would somewhat know who it was...

 

but rey might be going for a ultra unknown comic this time or maybe he wont even do the comic thing this year...

...watching Molly from last year...poor Molly and her haircut.

And just recently, they had Christy pin her.

 

They must really hate Molly or something. I'm surprised they aren't going to light her on fire or something for this year's WM.

Now I want to find Molly and give her a consoling hug.

 

...then again, I've always wanted to hug Molly.

I just watched WMXX again today wrapping up the most sucessful WM countdown in some time... I've found myself skipping tapes or, last year when I wasshort on time, just watching the WM2000 bonus disc and then going 16-19. But this year I gave myself proper time and watched them within a 2 week period.

 

Anyway, never noticed Paul Bearer yelling "You're no son of mine!" at Kane before. I did remember noticing Nunzio doing they "ehhh, we're cousins!" bit with Noble before though. That's two family lineages that the guys acknowledged that the writers ignored / forgot.

 

It was good to see JBL in a pointless tag title match just 1 year ago.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Speaking of Bearer...had a weird thought.

 

During Orton/Taker, Bob Orton runs out to try to help Randy win the match...and as a surprise to everyone, Paul Bearer returns, and smacks Orton with the urn!

 

...maybe not, but it was a dream I had last night.

[Guest Shadow]

why are you dreaming about Paul Bearer?

[ChrisMWaters 0]

why are you dreaming about Paul Bearer?

Cause I was debating with someone about stuff that will happen at Mania 21 before I went to sleep, and somehow it just came like that.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Anyway, speaking of Taker and Kane...I remember marking out for Bearer coming out during this.

 

This year...I don't think Kane will have the second to last match on the card.

 

Taker might with Orton, but maybe not.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Oh, and they had more fun with Taker last year than this year...

 

All the symbols...the urn...the shaking ring...that kind of thing.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Huh...forgot about Kane's head-towel. He hasn't used that recently, has he?

[Guest Shadow]

Orton/Taker will be on the card before MITB. I think this is the order

 

1. Guerrero/Rey

2. Trish/Christy

3. HOF introduction

4. Taker/Orton

5. Sumo Challenge

6. MITB

7. JBL/Cena

8. Pipers Pit

9. HBK/Angle

10. Batista Vs HHH

[ChrisMWaters 0]

I forgot about HBK and HHH being "10 years in the making" as of Mania XX.

 

So, next time they meet, it'll be 15 years, right?

[Vern Gagne 0]

Jericho is still floundering around being somewhat entertaining but not enough to really go anywhere. I foresee Jericho vs Kane in the near future for the fifteenth+ time.

 

Who would turn heel, if Jericho and Kane did feud?

Kane.

 

Because Kane loves turning back and forth.

 

I mean, since he's come in to WWF/E as Kane, how many face/heel turns has he had?

Any chance Trips will bust out the White Boots again tonight?

That would be a good line up, I would switch the Sumo match with Taker/Orton though.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Another change...

 

Last year, HHH looked a lot like Greg "Hammer" Valentine in the face.

 

Now with his beard, he's trying to look like Harley Race.

[Vern Gagne 0]

I'd guess Christy vs Trish would be later down in the card. As a buffer between the more competive matches down on the card.

I could kind of see the concept of them going Smackdown, Smackdown/RAW, RAW...but why in the world would they put the SD main event on before Angle/HBK? IMO, that would just be stupid. (even though they did it at XX I believe) But it's obvious this year, with the way everythings been built, the last two matches should be the title matches.

[Guest Shadow]

Actually ever since they started TWO world titles, they rarely do back to back world/wwe title matches

Last year, HHH looked a lot like Greg "Hammer" Valentine in the face.

 

Now with his beard, he's trying to look like Harley Race.

For the last fucking time, he's trying to be Lemmy from Motorhead, not Harley Race.

Or...a fusion of the two.

 

HHH is LEMMY RACE!

 

That doesn't change that last year he looked like Valentine though.

[Guest Shadow]

only difference is, i dont think last year was intentional.

[Guest Evolution]

I think Paul Bearer wanted to distance himself from wrestling as a whole after being "seriously injured" at GAB last year. Doubt he'd come back, but it would be neat to have Bob Orton at ringside with Randy against 'Taker.

Note to Trips: Having Motorhead play you to the ring = bad luck!!

 

(X8 was Drowning Pool, BTW)
