Guest Kesh Report post Posted August 28, 2007 Well we are now about 1/3 of the way to Wrestlemania 24. Just for the hell of it, lets see if we can guess what the card is gonna look like, I mean if this time 3 years ago we did this, I doubt anyone would have thought JBL and Batista would be in the mainevents of Wrestlemania 21. So just to speculate, even though we are a hell of a long way away, what do you think the card will be? heres my best guess WWE Championship Mr. Kennedy© w/Vince vs Triple H w/ Steph & Shane -McMahon helps his illegitimate kid win the title from Cena at Survivor Series via montreal screwjob rehash. Triple H ends up # 1 contender, becomes a family affair of some sort World Heavyweight Championship Edge© vs The Undertaker -Edge returns to take the title from Batista(who beats Khali at Unforgiven) around Survivor Series or Armageddon. Taker comes back wins the Rumble, and beats Edge for the title at mania, basically this way the company can carry out what they had planned for Taker in 07 in 08 ECW Championship Extreme Rules CM Punk© vs Tommy Dreamer -Dreamers getting up there in age and I think, being a good friend of Shane, that the company may give him a spot in the C shows main event to help put over the talented young champion John Cena vs Bobby Lashley -possibly a #1 contenders match, looking to make a statement upon returning from injury, Lashley returns and defeats Cena at Wrestlemania to get a huge rub, he goes on to challenge Kennedy, the man who put him on the shelf, post mania Randy Orton vs Shawn Michaels -Michaels is out for revenge on young Randall after returning from a "career threating concussion" Batista vs Ric Flair -Batista turns heel after dropping the title, does the job for naitch in Flairs retirement match United States Championship Finlay© vs Chavo Guerrero -Finlays the face here, idk good way to get two workers on the card I suppose Money In The Bank IV MVP vs Elijah Burke vs Carlito vs Rey Mysterio vs Umaga vs Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy vs King Booker -probably the least likely to happen, at least in this capacity. Rey Matt and Jeff can all go in Ladder matches as we've seen before, and I'm sure Burke Carlito and MVP would fit in just fine. Booker was fine in his role last year as well. Umaga is the big man thrown in to offer something different (Kane in #1, Lashley in #2) I'm sure there would be some crappy womens thing thrown on the card as well. Again this is all just speculation and I'm not saying this is what I want to see or heard we would see. Just what I think could happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2007 I don't think Cena will main event that PPV. I think it'll be him vs. Batista in a "dream match" of sorts on the undercard. I agree with the main two title matches, but man considering Kennedy will have like ZERO serious heat of any kind with the title they better main event UT vs. Edge.

Guest shoryuken007 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 WWE Championship HHH© vs. Mr. Kennedy I don't see Steph and Shane (at least, not Shane) in H's corner, but I do see Vince in Kennedy's. To go off on a tangent, I think that Vince will think Kennedy is his son, but it won't be...BUT, Vince will choose Kennedy as his heir anyway. Kennedy wins via some shenanigans. We need a heel to win the ME at Mania, I think. World Championship Edge© vs. Randy Orton I think Edge comes back and gets the title from Batista, maybe work-injuring Big Dave. Edge needs to be booked stronger, so maybe they'll do that. Randy, I think, will actually beat Cena, then drop it to HHH at Survivor Series or the Rumble. He'll interrupt Edge in the middle of a "no one can beat me promo," deliver an RKO, and, and stay with me, I think they'll turn Orton face without pussifying him. It could happen! Orton wins with the RKO, obvs. ECW Championship who the funk cares? Seriously. Punk is getting the Samoa Joe treatment, Morrison is okay but bland (to me), and everyone else sucks. Except Elijah, but he's getting good and buried. Funk, I don't know. Let's say Punk© vs. Burke vs. Morrison, put whoever you want to over. Cena vs. Batista I agree with what cabbage said. Sort of a "dream match" but not, but definitely a big match situation. Cena over, probably. Beyond that I don't know or care, but if I'm gonna fantasy book it, let's throw HBK vs. MVP on there, and maybe Matt Hardy vs. AJ Styles (hey, it IS fantasy, right?).

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 I never blamed WWE for not trusting Undertaker and Batista. You can't trust Batista to have a good match even if he is motivated (also, a great reason the match was surprisingly good was because of Batista's new found motivation and anger for getting knocked down the card). Going into the show, Cena/Shawn was seemingly the better match to close the show with. As for WM24? Obviously a great deal will change as far as who suddenly gets over, who comes into the company and who isn't there anymore as well as the usual injury plauge. I'll take a rough stab at what I think we could expect for WM24 and what else could be added WWE Title Ken Kennedy W/ Vince McMahon Vs Triple H © W/ Stephanie McMahon -This seems to be idea right now although we know those plans change constantly (Orton-HHH was set for WM just a month ago) but given that the curren angle with Vince is supposed to anchor the show for awhile, I think we can assume that this will continue throughout the next half year into WM. I'd actually have HHH going into WM as the champion as opposed to the general idea that most have. I'm not honestly expecting this match because Kennedy can't stay from the DL and HHH changes his mind constantly. World Title Edge Vs Undertaker © -This seems to be a lock and it should be. I'll have Undertaker defending the title since it's the one thing he hasn't done at WM (defend a title). It presents the feeling that Edge has nothing to lose and Undertaker has to defend the title and streak together. ECW Title CM Punk Vs Umaga © -I'm not trying to draw the Samoa Joe comparison here but Umaga-Punk would be a really good match especially if given free range. I could easily see Umaga moving over to ECW around the Rumble to set up a program where he takes out Punk and takes the title away. Batista Vs John Cena -If John Cena doesn't figure back into the title matches, this seems to be the popular place to slot him at. Given that Batista time is still limited, might as well jump on the biggest "dream match" they have left in-house. US Title MVP © Vs Lashley -I'm still not sold on Lashley but I expect him to get a "big" match and I'm thinking MVP should carry the US title straight into WM. Knowing WWE, Lashley would squash MVP in minutes. World Tag Team Championship Ladder Match London and Kendrick Vs Hart Foundation 2.0 Vs W.G.T.T Vs Cade and Murdoch -I'm taking out the MitB concept for the show because I believe it's better off for a secondary show as a potential draw such as E.C and HiaC. This is a fairly simple and logical match, three high flying teams with the brawlers mixed within. Who holds the title isn't important. IC Title Six Way Elimination Match King Booker Vs Carlito Vs Jeff Hardy Vs Cody Rhodes Vs Sandman Vs Snitsky -Just an excuse to put more people on the card, otherwise I would only expect Jeff and Booker to actually get a spot. Randy Orton Vs Shawn Michaels -Just a random match Extreme Expose Vs Michelle, Candice and Torrie -The annual Playboy promotion match, with the Expose being heels. Woman's Title Beth Vs Mickie -The best of what they got. You could probably slide two more matches in especially since some good names got left out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foleyfanforever88 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 I made a card a few weeks ago, but I don't know where it went, so I'll try to recreate it now, but I'm changing it a little bit to reflect some ideas the rest of you have come up with that I like. Edge vs Undertaker - World Heavyweight Championship The one match I really want to see. John Cena vs Kennedy vs Triple H - WWE Championship I can't see Cena not being in a title match at any PPV, especially WM. I don't know who would come into this match as champion though. Probably KK or HHH, because they have the storyline going with them, whereas Cena is just there because he will always be in the title picture. CM Punk vs Umaga - ECW Championship I know Umaga can put on a very entertaining match when he wants to, and CM Punk is a great guy to do that with. Jeff Hardy vs MVP vs Elijah Burke vs Carlito vs Rey Mysterio vs Santino vs John Morrison vs Kane - Money in the Bank IV Pretty self-explanatory. Beth Pheonix vs Mickie James - Women's Championship If Trish were to come back, I'd add her and Melina to this match. London/Kendrick vs Hart Foundation 2.0 vs Cade/Murdoch vs WGTT- WWE Tag Team Championship I'd really love to see another tag team TLC match, but I can't see them doing 2 ladder matches in one night, and since there would be too many guys left out without MITB, this would just be a regular elimination match. King Booker vs Chris Jericho Who knows why. Ric Flair vs HBK - Retirement Match Flair needs one more high-profile match to end his career with. Matt Hardy vs Finlay - US Championship I originally wanted both of these guys in MITB but I think they could put on a great singles match together. Randy Orton vs Batista Because I don't have anywhere else to put them. I know Lashley, Henry, and Khali aren't on the card. I'm really hoping that atleast one of them will be injured/gone from WWE by April, but if not, I guess I'd put two of them against each other just for a big man match. Probably Lashley vs Khali. Imagine those promos. If one of the guys on my card was injured come WM time, or if Jericho doesn't come back, I'd put their opponent either into the MITB in Santino's place or against Lashley.

Nate 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 WWE Title: Triple H © vs Mr Kennedy that seems to be the general consensus, for some reason i see it spinning to where Steph swerves Triple H and help Kennedy leading to a "WHO IS THE FATHER OF STEPH'S BABY" and yes i am being serious thats where i could go World Heavyweight Title: Edge © vs Undertaker i'll follow the line and go with this match as well, and prove who is the Wrestlemania Legend ECW Title: CM Punk © vs Colt Cabana something to where Cabana comes in and gets a bigger reaction then Punk has ever had and Punk gets Jealous of Cabana and brutalizes him on an ECW episode Ric Flair vs HBK if this is gonna be Ric's last stand in WWE and wrestling in general, this would be the perfect match to end on IC Title: Snitsky © vs Jeff Hardy now this is a random match up, but since they seem intent on pushin Snitsky as a legit monster, why not give him a run as a mid card champ John Cena vs Batista could always use a high profile Raw vs Smackdown match WWE/World Tag Team Title Unifaction Match (Ladder Match) Cade and Murdoch (Raw Tag Champs) vs The Daltons (SD Tag Champs) vs Hart Foundation 2.0 vs London and Kendrick there's not enough tag teams on Raw and Smackdown to keep 2 seperate tag titles going, there needs to be a unifacation of sorts to occur US Title: Matt Hardy © vs Finlay they have had very good matches in the past and now would be the time to show what they can do Money In The Bank Battle Royal: Umaga, MVP, Cody Rhodes, Kane, The Miz, Tommy Dreamer, William Regal, Elijah Burke, Sandman, John Morrison same idea different match concept, the last man left gets the MITB case to challenge for whichever World Title he sees fit, and as a consolation to the runner up he gets his choice to challenge for the IC or US title or pick a partner and go after the Tag Title Women's Title: Beth Phoenix vs someone from Extreme Expose random filler and plug for Extreme Expose in Playboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mysterious_w 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 Here's not what I expect, but a card I would want that's not totally impossible. WWE Championship: HBK © vs MVP Easy enough to get the belt on HBK by March, and have MVP win the rumble. Simple storyline, MVP's had enough with HBK being the "showstopper" when MVP is the most talented man on the roster. MVP wins. World Heavyweight Title: Edge © vs Undertaker Wasn't going to go for this, but winning the belt on two WM's in a row worked for Austin, and Undertaker is over enough for it to work for him. Tag-team Title Unification ladder match: Londrick (Raw champs) vs WGTT (SD Champs) vs Hardys Shift WGTT to Smackdown complaining that they've been getting a bad deal on Raw, then have them get the straps. Unification of the belts is a good idea due to the lack of solid teams, and add the Hardys into the mix because Hardys + PPV + Ladders = Huge Draw. Have Londrick win to get them really over and solidfy them as this generation's top team. Intercontinental Title Match: King Booker © vs Cody Rhodes Good way to build up Cody, and Booker is the best guy on Raw to help him do it. Final Flair Match: HHH vs. Flair Have this be like Inoki vs Vader on his retirement tour, with HHH just fucking up the old man but with Flair inexplicably survivng and kicking out. Figure-4 tap out for Flair's win and a crazy pop. ECW title match: CM Punk © vs Finlay The clean, technical match of the night. Lots of good solid chain wrestling with some nice stiffness thrown in. Finlay would be a respectable ECW champ, and it could set up an awesome Punk heel turn. Loser leaves ECW hardcore match: Tommy Dreamer vs Elijah Burke Put Dreamer on a major PPV, in a hardcore match, and buy him the rights to Man in the Box for a night, and he'll deliver. Just have Dreamer bump like a nutcase, and then sneak a win over Elijah to send him to Smackdown where he'll probably be better suited (Especially with MVP on Raw). Cruiserweight Title Match: Jimmy Wang Yang © vs Funaki Funaki accuses Yang of betraying his roots. Fun 5 minute matchup. Yang wins. Yeah, that'll do. Batista will no doubt have a muscle tear, Cena will be making Marine 2, and I don't know what to do with Kennedy, Carlito or Umaga. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theintensifier 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 It's really hard to determine what's going to happen at WrestleMania 24. The wrestlers the WWF are trying to push to the moon (Kennedy/Lashley) cannot stay off the injured list for any extended period of time. And, the already established wrestlers (Undertaker/Edge/Batista/Michaels/Rey Mysterio/King Booker) are in the same boat. Randy Orton was once injury prone, and it's been quite some time since his last major injury, so I expect him to be on the hit list of injuries. Triple H now has two torn quads, so we cannot fully expect him to be able to perform like he once did, or even close, and he may end up back on the injured list again. John Cena is the only wrestler that can be called Superman. I don't remember the last injury he had, maybe Royal Rumble 2004 (botched landing-knee). I don't like the Edge-Taker match, at all. Edge needs to be groomed as a serious threat and future franchise player. It'd be pointless to have the Undertaker steamroll him at WrestleMania. Plus, having Taker win the Rumble again would be overkill. HHH vs. Kennedy would result in Kennedy losing, we all know that. Kennedy is another wrestler being groomed to become a future franchise player. He's already been the Undertaker's bitch. This would lead to nothing good. I'm guessing Cena will be in a title match, he HAS to be. He's the modern day Austin/Hogan. Speaking of which, they need to dish out whatever amount of money it'll take to make Austin and Hogan swallow their pride and ego, and get them in the ring. I doubt we'll see John Morrision by WrestleMania time. He's a failed project. They should have kept him paired up with Mercury, or paired him with Kenny. CM Punk might get a bigger push, but it's highly unlikely. If he gets moved to Raw, his career is over. HHH will kill him like he killed Jericho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
