Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2006 Angle/Lashley is possible, espically if the WWE wants to make another main eventer. Everyone bashing the idea of Angle winning it, it's better then Randy Orton. Which I thought they were gonna do. I hope they go the route of Angle/Benoit at Wrestlemania. Doubt it will happen, it's problay going to be Angle/Taker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2006 I thought that Batista was only going to be out for two months. Why can't he be in the ME at WM. It's a big risk to plan a main event for your biggest show of the year around a guy who has been prone to any possible injury and is still recovering from injury by the time the show arrives. With Batista's recent string of injuries, he would break his wrist twisting a water bottle. They put the title on Angle because he's credible and they need a name on SD, along with the fact he was getting lost in the shuffle on Raw. Angle Vs Batista would make a good Summer Slam program.

Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2006 So is Angle suddenly a face? He still has Daivari in tow, but he goes after JBL and Mark Henry rather than Rey or Hardy. Plus, something like this would make the fans mark. So, I guess he's a face until further notice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SickMoveFiend Report post Posted January 11, 2006 What is WITH this psychotic desire to push Mark Henry all of a sudden? They want to cash in on his impendingly expiring and rediculously overpayed contract. Plus he's a big piece of shit, Vince has a liking for wrestlers the size of his turd. Anyway, finally a credible WWE champion on smackdown after a year and a half. I'm happy and all that Angle's the champion bit it's still pointless, they should have done this the first time Batista got injured instead of sidelining him and the title in tag matches so he can recover better, putting a dent in the value of the belt in the process. Oh well, like you all say, worthless direction. Now, the belt HAS to stay on Angle for WM so we can at least be assured of a credible main event. It cannot be against Batista, it's unlikely he'll make to the Rumble if his injury is that serious and it would be pointless to book him through to Mania even if he does recover. Plus he's a pretty worthless champion and wrestler alltogeather, I have not enjoyed one bit of his pointless push or any of his matches. Orton isn't an option either, he has lost all potential since his feud with Taker and I do not care to see Orton pointlessly go over another star far supirior to him let alone disgrace the main event card with another title run. I would much like Rey vs Angle or the afformentioned Benoit vs Angle despite being overdone on both accounts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2006 Since Daivari is on Smackdown, I really think they should disband him and Angle, as Angle doesn't need a manger. But they should push Daivari in the cruiserweight divison. He is very over and is a very good wrestler, and can make a great heel cruiserweight champion.

Especially since Kid Kash is injured and probably won't be defending the belt anytime soon. ...not that it really matters to Vince either way, but still.

Guest JMA Report post Posted January 11, 2006 From what I've read, Angle alignment is one of the weirdest things going on in wrestling. He still acts like a heel but he acknowledges that the fans like him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Epic Reine 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2006 Why did Randy Orton agree to do Booker's bidding anyway? Randy never implied that he wanted the U.S. title at all? It would have given him something to do until Mania. Wrestlemania has been shaken up, probably for the worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if the shakeup shook Ol Blandy right out of the title match, its for the better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UZI Suicide 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2006 So Batista vacates the belt because he's injured, and they give it to a guy who by all accounts, is next on the "Death list". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haVoc 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2006 The plan at this point is for Kurt Angle to still wrestle Shawn Michaels this Monday on RAW despite winning the World Title at the Smackdown taping last night. The angle will apparently continue on RAW where Angle's future will be explained. Batista was apparently very broken up backstage at the Smackdown taping about having to drop the World Title and take time off. He actually told management that he will work through his latest injury, but WWE overruled and made the decision to take the belt off of him and get him healed up. He isn't expected back until after WrestleMania. Credit: PWInsider.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted January 12, 2006 I like that we hear reports of WWE depushing Kurt so that he doesn't push himself past his limits and yet, they give him the belt? Bad idea to jeopardize his health, good little markout moment. For those that wanted Kurt to get a belt, shame on you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2006 I could see Angle vs. HBK being made a title match now, with Vince playing the YE OLE SCREWJOB card , probably during an anklelock. Angle states that if he wins he will just leave and go to Smackdown, having done all he needed to do... if he loses then he stays on Raw and HBK can do as he pleases with the World Title. That said....HBK on Smackdown with the belt would drive Vince INSANE, and add more to their feud. Let Shawn hold it, maybe do a multi-man match at WM (HBK vs. Benoit (lets say he wins some sort of contendership match set by Teddy) vs. Angle (Vince throws him in there)) ... and they can give the belt to Benoit or Angle and go into Batista's eventual return.
