Lets talk about KOTR.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

thats like asking which child I would want to kill....if I had children.

 

But I pick Hogan...since its non title.

[Guest]

Hogan

[Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly]

Or you could ask yourself if you would rather have Angle go  over or Undertaker retain the Title. I was pissed of that Hogan took off Angle's wig tonight and I was just pissed off in general by the Main Event. I wouldn't be surprised if both Triple H and Hogan went over, but I would rather have Triple H go over simply because the title needs to be taken away from Undertaker as soon as possible.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

As I think back to the last HHH title reign...I could not disagree with you more.

 

He has an injured Knee

 

He has an injured Elbow

 

He has no one to feud with left.

 

His matches are just as bad as Takers.

 

I could go on...

[Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly]

Now figure Angle and Hogan into the equation. Angle was buried tonight by Hogan and Triple H. Why did Hogan have to be the person to take off Angle's wig? Was that supposed to make him look cooler or something? That whole segment made me want to puke.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

I think...or at least hope...that Hogan will be doing the JOB again at KOTR.

 

Both Angle and Hogan have been jobbing a lot lately...but I think Angle is going over.

[Guest]

Hogan's dewigging of Angle ('bout damn time, sez I) may, if we keep our fingers crossed, send Angle back into his EVIL KURT~! persona. And it makes perfect sense for Hogan to be the one to take off Angle's wig, because that's who he'll be facing at KotR. It wouldn't have made any sense for anyone else to do it.

 

Here's how I predict the KotR tournament to go down:

 

Raw Quarter-finals

*Brock Lesnar over Booker T (after nWo interference)

*RVD over X-Pac (after Booker T interference?)

 

Smackdown Quarter-finals

*Chris Jericho over Val Venis

*Hardcore Holly over Test

 

The PPV Semi-finals

*Chris Jericho over Hardcore Holly

*RVD over Brock Lesnar via DQ (I'll leave it up to the creative genuises at the WWE to figure out how; plus, I think this will set up a feud between the two that I'm assuming they're building toward)

 

The Finals

Chris Jericho over RVD

 

I don't know if I'm the first person to make the above prediction (I haven't gone back and checked), but I think it's very likely. Of course, give the WWE direction as of late, the PPV final will probably be X-Pac vs. Hardcore Holly, but I think I'll stick with the above.

[Guest converge241]

I agree with those predictions.

even before they announced the bracketing, i was saying in numerous posts on here , it was a lock to have RVD vs Brock with RVD getting the dq for Brock being out of line (saves him from doing the job, builds to the rematch). My only difference is RVD over Jericho in the final, to lead to a Taker-RVD title match @ Vengeance , then RVD vs Brock @ summerslam.

[Guest cabbageboy]

Sorry guys but RVD and Jericho can't be the final.....it can only be the semis.  I just hope that they aren't retarded enough to have X Pac and Booker advance to finals or something thinking that people actually want to see that match.  How sad is it that X Pac is the only NWO guy right now who can work a watchable match and is somewhat healthy?  

 

I was just wondering, what are Eddie and Benoit doing at the PPV now?  They are fucked.

[Guest converge241]

oh please, like its impossible for WWE to change/re-arrange the brackets. like they wouldnt go back on their "word"

 

lol

[Guest cabbageboy]

You can't fuck with brackets once they are announced....if that was the case the NCAA committee would have given Gonzaga higher than a 6 seed.  Haha!

 

Think about it though....X Pac and Booker advanced on the same night, RVD and Lesnar advanced the next week.  By that logic it should be Pac/Book and RVD/Brock.  But it's not.  And why?  Because they obviously don't want RVD/Brock so soon in the tourney, and want to save it for the finals.  

 

The irony is SMDN did follow that logic.  Jericho and Val advance on the same show, therefore they wrestle.  Holly and Test advance, therefore they wrestle.  

 

I have to wonder though, is Bob Holly a face now?  He seems like a heel to me, yet he has been wrestling Angle and Tajiri recently and they are heels.  If he is some sort of face I think he is advancing to face Brock....and get killed.

[Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly]

Hogan's dewigging of Angle ('bout damn time, sez I) may, if we keep our fingers crossed, send Angle back into his EVIL KURT~! persona.

Well, Edge is the one who shaved Angle bald, so it would make sense for Edge to remove the wig. Furthermore, taking of the wig should have been a payoff from the hair versus hair angle. Why would you have his wig removed on Smackdown instead of PPV? It was very anticlimactic to have his wig removed in such a fashion, and I thought they would at least let him keep the wig until the PPV. It just pissed me off that Hogan had to get the heat for removing Angle's wig instead of someone else. If Edge wasn't going to do it, why have Hogan do it? Does Hogan need heat that badly?

[Guest converge241]

my god man tell me you arent comparing wrestling to real sports, or anything in the real world for that matter.

 

WWF has changed their bracketing in tournaments before after putting up a graphic on screen.

WCW changed it as well.

 

Please dont be so naive to think that its outside of the realm of possibility for them to change it.

 

These are the same people who said no crossing over between shows. Vince twice, Taker, HHH.

The same people who offer retirement/gone for good/loser leaves matches and they come right back.

The same people who shill you every month/week with lines like "the biggest show ever".

 

You think they give two shits about the integrity of the bracketing? or what the NCAA is doing?

[Guest]

Does Hogan need heat that badly?

 

For this feud with Angle? Yes. Besides, Edge ain't around and won't be for awhile, so why not the guy Angle's currently feuding with? As for waiting for the PPV, Angle's dewigging gives the feud more heat going into that match. Personally, I would've made the decision to have it happen on next week's Smackdown, but oh well.

 

And cabbageboy--You're right. I misread the brackets. Damn.

[Guest cabbageboy]

The sanctity of the bracket must be preserved!  When did the WWF ever change a bracket?  It's idiotic to do that, it only confuses people who saw the original bracket.

[Guest Renegade]

Well I can kiss the Book push then, Brock is going to win in a squash.

 

I suddenly lost all intrest in ordering KOTR

[Guest Brian]

Hey, they might still have Eddie vs. Flair

[Guest Anglesault]

I would rather have Triple H go over simply because the title needs to be taken away from Undertaker as soon as possible.

WHY? Taker's matches are just as bad as HHH, he's not injured and he is working with midcarders. HHH refuses to do anyhting but bury midcarders.

[Guest Ash Ketchum]

Amen, Anglesault. Your word speak THE TRUTH!

 

*holds up "aWo is in da HOUSE!!1!" sign*

[Guest cabbageboy]

I read somewhere that Kevin Kelly said on Canadian WWE shows that KOTR gets a title shot at SS.  I wonder why the WWE hasn't mentioned it?

 

I doubt Booker will be squashed by Brock, though I think he will lose to him.  I see NWO run ins in Booker's future.

[Guest Ash Ketchum]

Sadly, yes. and more Sweet Chin Musics/superkicks, too.

[Guest Renegade]

I doubt Booker will be squashed by Brock.

Oh Brock will KILL Booker, because trying to put Book over is a sin to the wwe. The next big thing ploughs through him and faces RVD, where RVD becomes the first person to beat Brock, and then back to the low/midcards Brock goes.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

yeah...because pushing RVD is obviously what the WWE is all about.

[Guest BorneAgain]

Booker could still win the thing if they booked it properly. I'm thinking he does a run-in during the X-pac/ RVD match and costs Pac the match. Later, he beats Brock, after Lesnar is disqualified for beating the living crap out of him. Booker, injured by Lesnar's assualt, moves on to the next match and barely gets by Test, before being jumped by the nWo. The big angle is that Booker is injured as well as tired before the finals. Finally he does the big underdog thing against Jericho in the Finals, overcomes the odds, and becomes King. There ya go big push for booker while keeping Lesnar's heat (what little he has anyway).

if only, but you seem to be forgetting that Austin was supposed to do the job to Brock, their is no way that Brock will lose to Booker by any means.

 

btw what you said would make a sweet deal though

[Guest cabbageboy]

I must admit that last booking scenario is decent.  I hadn't quite thought of the NWO running in and getting Lesnar DQed merely to attack Booker.  I had mostly thought of them costing Book the match.  They can show Heyman making deals with Nash and Michaels, then Brock gets pissed since they run in and actually cost him KOTR.  It plants a seed for a Brock face turn and Booker advances.

Well, So much for my plan. I guess its Brock-RVD in the finals now. And what the hell is the Rock going to do at KOTR anyway?

[Guest Renegade]

Just as i thought, Brock went through (big surprise)

 

Im thinking one of the two will happen:

 

RVD beats Brock, Taker retains and the two meet up at SS

 

Brock beats RVD, HHH beats Taker, Brock and HHH meet at SS, HHH nails the pedigree 2 or 3 times, being the first man to beat Brock

[Guest cabbageboy]

I'd leave it on the Taker for the time being.  I mean, HHH might have a slightly bigger fanbase but he also would play politics with the title and ensure a death grip on it.  Besides, I am almost in horror thinking of a HHH/Lesnar main event.  I personally think Lesnar would be better served in a feud with the Rock, which would sort of mean he can't win KOTR.  

 

I had a theory of Rock intervening to help RVD win, then Lesnar gets a good feud with Rocky and a big win.  After all, isn't that why Rock was brought back?  To do what Austin wouldn't do, namely job to The Brock.

[Guest Cactus Clothesline]

Hunter should definitely take the strap off of the Taker.  I can't believe how everyone likes Taker all of a sudden when he still sucks so much ass.  Oh yeah he's "putting over" the younger talent.  Those Dreamer/Hardy segments were God awful.

 

Nobody wants to admit it except that deathvalleydriver guy but HHH has be improving lately.  The opening segment on Smackdown was awesome until the point he attacked the announce table - then it turned to shit.  Then he carried the main event (well what little carrying that Angle didn't do).  I thought he bumped pretty well.  Everybody bitches that he made Angle and Taker look useless but he had to use a frickin' sledgehammer to fight them off.  Hell he is the top guy now.  When he punks out a whole stable like Austin v. the Alliance then we'll know that he's made it.
