MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 Team Raw: HBK, Big Show, Carlito, Chris Masters, Shelton Benjamin How the hell are those 5 supposed to co-exist on one team? Carlito and Shelton? Masters and HBK and Big Show? Team SD: JBL,Rey Mysterio, Mr Kennedy, Chris Benoit, Christian Again..same question..? One month JBL and Rey hate each other and the next they're magically on the same side, all in the name of brand loyalty? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aero 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 The Orton-Taker feud just won't die. Maybe if Taker loses he can magically turn back into Biker Taker... Don't ask me how to explain these things. If it really is a buried alive match, though, I can't wait for Cole to hype it by constantly saying something like, "Orton doesn't have a chance.. this is Taker's signature match!" I'm REALLY interested in seeing the Raw vs. SD match, though. Having the faces and heels mixed together is part of the fun. I just wish the rest of the card was tag matches as well. They can't be serious about Piper-Orton, right? Especially for one of the big four PPVs where space is already limited enough for each show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 I wonder if we get another one of those things where each member of the team gets "a favor" from the GM if the team wins. That's the only way I can see the teams getting along AND the only reason HBK, Big Show, and Shelton fight for Bischoff and JBL, MR.....KENNEDY, and Christian fighting for Peanuthead.

Guest *KNK* Report post Posted October 5, 2005 Should we start speculating who gets the WM job treatment for UT this time? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Heidenreich? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They already did that program (not that it hasn't stopped them from re-doing programs before). Honestly? Benoit or Angle. No more fucking BIG MAN VS BIG MAN matches or anything like this year's mania. Just have 'Taker come back in early 2006, with a more relaxed version of the deadman but not quite bikertaker and have him and Benoit/Angle tear it up and Undertaker wins it but the loser can demand a rematch because "they saw something" and Taker respects a good fight, and he would openly take a challenge from Benoit or Angle. Or just have Angle/Benoit win and have it shake UT to the core because he starts doubting himself as a fighter and for once, feels vulerable in the ring and a challenge is made(this would fit with Angle moreso then Benoit) for a re-match @ Mania. UT needs his legacy, it's what makes him drive, for once in his career, he seriously doubts his ability to win on that level... Do your typical training hype sell for it, no stupid gimmicky storylines. Just a story built around "who is tougher". Classic, though uncreative but much more effective. It'd give Angle/Benoit a "big" match and Undertaker can go 14-0 but finally have a **** to go with it. I doubt Undertaker would turn down at least Angle, and it's not like Angle has a problem jobbing @ Mania. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Y2DAYDAY Report post Posted October 5, 2005 That sounds about right with what Meltzer said in the Observer but who is missing from that card? HHH, Flair, Edge, Kane, Booker T, and Matt Hardy. I truly expect HHH vs Flair again on this show and it honestly wouldn't shock me if they went back to Edge vs Matt Hardy in an interpromotional match as well. Dunno about Kane and Booker T but T isn't a player anyway. Maybe they'll hold off on Kane return until after SS or they'll bump somebody out of the tag match and put him in. I see this as a money making card and it should have very good wrestling as well. I'll be happy with this. The tag should be awesome. Imagine the possibilities? HBK vs Rey, Rey vs Shelton, HBK vs Benoit, etc, good stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd perfer them to slap on a couple more Survivor Series style matches on there (each brand exclusive) this will not happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 Interpromotional Survivor Series Elimination Match Team SD: JBL,Rey Mysterio, Mr Kennedy, Chris Benoit, Christian vs. Team Raw: HBK, Big Show, Carlito, Chris Masters, Shelton Benjamin I'd replace Kennedy with Booker or Orton if it was up to me. Carlito and Masters would be replaced with Edge and Kane or Snitsky. A big match like this deserves to have big names. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slickster 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 So I think we can all see the finish for No Mercy's casket match, eh? (Piper helps Deadman by working over Cowboy Bob, distracting Randy enough for Taker to finish him off.) If Bob and Piper get a 10-12 min segment (5-6 min match), then I think it could work out.

Slickster 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2005 JBL called out HBK several times during Byte This! tonight, so I think that maybe they could be building to a feud between them that could be escalated at Survivor Series.

Guest Biggles Report post Posted October 7, 2005 Here's hoping Eddie takes the belt off of Batista. I'm bored of his title reign as much now as I was in April and Eddie has been nothing short of amazing as a heel, easily the best heel in the company right now. Only problem is now finding a babyface to fight. Because of that, I whole-heartedly expect Batista retaining and defending against Orton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fook_Theta Report post Posted October 7, 2005 Maybe the faces will turn on the heels in the Smackdown vs Raw match. That would apply just a little bit of logical booking to an otherwise F.U.B.A.R.'d situation. Err, I guess the heels should turn on the faces. Whatever.

Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2005 Hey its better than having the raw team be all faces and teh sd team be all heels. I like it. Kennedy in there suggests that WWE is high on him and he will be getting a bigger push. Interesting. Enough with Cena-Angle though hopefully this is the blowoff. and orton taker as well, I mean how many times does Randy need to job to Taker? I thought the point of the summerslam match was so Randy could get a rub from taker (snickers) seems to me Vince is angry at Randy for not being over as face enough and having to change his WM 21 plans ..... or not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
