Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) How much time would you give each of the WM matches if you were producing the show and how much time do you think each match will get. HHH vs Cena Should get: 16 minutes Probrably will get: 22 minutes Rey vs Orton vs Angle Should get: 24 minutes Probrably will get: 17 minutes HBK vs Vince Should get: 14 minutes Probrably will get: 25 minutes Edge vs Foley Should get: 18 minutes Probrably will get: 12 minutes Mickie vs Trish Should get: 7 minutes Probrably will get: 10 minutes Money in the Bank Ladder Match Should get: 17 minutes Probrably will get: 12 minutes JBL vs Benoit Should get: 15 minutes Probrably will get: 10 minutes Carlito/Masters vs Big Show/Kane Should get: 6 minutes Probrably will get: 12 minutes Candace vs Torrie Pillow fight Should get: 2 minutes or less Probrably will get: 4+ minutes Boogeyman vs Booker/Sharmell Should get: 3 minutes Probrably will get: 5 minutes Taker vs Henry Should get: 10 minutes Probrably will get: 13 minutes Total should get time: 132 minutes Total probrably get time: 142 minutes As you can see, I'm not in favor of longer matches for this particular WM since most of the matches aren't that great. Other fun stuff... Out of Bret Hart, Steve Austin, and Hulk Hogan, which if any, will appear unadvertised on Sunday's show? Also, how many people will do run ins during the Vince vs Shawn No Holds Barred match? Edited March 25, 2006 by Dangerous A Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hyperchord24 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 RE: how many people will do run-ins for HBK-Vince? Shane Spirit squad (I’d imagine they’d be part of WM in some form) Steph? HHH? Cena? Bret won’t. SCSA is a big maybe. If he hadn’t done that promo w/ JBL, I’d say more than likely, but you know McMahon – bring any big name from the attitude era to pop a crowd, no matter how nonsensical it may seem.

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 I expect at least a Shane and Spirit Squad run in on Vince's behalf. Because of Vince's limitations, they are going to use every trick in the book for this one.Perhaps WWE gets Scott Hall to appear on Shawn's behalf as a one night only appearance? Depends on the story they want to tell. I get the feeling all the run ins would be for Vince and Shawn has to overcome in the end. I'd be inclined to say SCSA would run in to stun both men, but Austin is very protective of his character and wouldn't waste an appearance to just come out for no real storyline purpose. Hogan wouldn't help either man out either. As far as Bret goes, I just don't think he's interested in participating. The only way I see him showing up on Sunday is to give that goodbye speech everyone keeps talking about, and that may end up happening on Saturday night anyways. Hogan may make some kind of appearance if ratings for his reality show are in the toilet. Not sure of the numbers for the premiere, but they aren't out yet, which makes me believe they are low. Still, as of right now, he's only slated for Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 I could see them playing Brets music just as Vince is going to finish off Shawn (after dozens of run-ins), Vince turns around, no one comes out, Vince turns back to Shawn and gets superkicked for the finish. It fits in with the story of Vince not getting over SS97. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It fits in with the story of Vince not getting over SS97. I could very easily see that scenario played out. Thing is, they better have a women's match planned next because if they bait and switch a Bret appearance like that and only tease with the music, I get the feeling the live crowd will shit on whatever comes out of that curtain next.

razazteca 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 how many people will do run ins during the Vince vs Shawn No Holds Barred match? Pat Patterson, Brooklyn Brawler, Gerald Brisco, Brother Love, Mean Street Posse, Spirit Squad, Shane, Sgt. Slaughter, and anybody with a legends contract that can run.

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 Maybe they could have Bret do a pre-taped deal where it shows he was the one who played the music, and we get him on the video screen afterwards with a smile on his face saying "Bret didn't screw Bret, Vince screwed Bret". Oh, it would be awful... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karc 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 WWE needs to be really careful here. By my count, that's three matches on the card (HHH-Cena because of the Cena hate, the Triple Threat because of the Eddie thing, and Vince-Shawn because of Bret) where the crowd would have a legit excuse to completely turn on the show.

Guest Dam(o)nYankees Report post Posted March 24, 2006 How much time would you give each of the WM matches if you were producing the show and how much time do you think each match will get. HHH vs Cena Should get: 16 minutes Probrably will get: 22 minutes They gave Batista and HHH 22 minutes at Mania 21 and it sucked. 22 minutes of Cena and HHH may be unwatchable. They need to keep it down between 10 and 15 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 HHH proved with Steiner that he is oblivious to the realities of the situation and wants to go long in every main event match.

With that said, I could see Foley/Edge becoming a colorless hardcore match, which means it'll be underwhelming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 Foley/Edge will certainly be colourless. We'll see a table bump, tacks, a chair spot, some garbage cans, and that's about it. Then HHH is oblivious to his inability to carry guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 It's funny, the matches that need color won't get it because Triple H believes it makes him a better match when blood is involved and Vince/Shawn love to juice as much as Trips does. Also, Edge teased the flaming table at SNME, somebody should go through a flaming table in Chicago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
