Mike wanna be 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2009 Given the buildup it should be a good match either way, but somebody has to lose and I don't really see where either of them goes as the loser. If Punk loses the whole tournament was worthless; if Regal loses his "I look for good competition to be a respectable champion" takes a major hit as he'll no longer have the championship.

Unless there's some kind of gimmick for the match, I'm guessing there's a DQ finish, leading to a rematch at the Rumble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Punk loses the whole tournament was worthless; if Regal loses his "I look for good competition to be a respectable champion" takes a major hit as he'll no longer have the championship. I think it ends in a double countout or DQ and they have a rematch at the royal rumble as already mentioned. However, I wouldn't be totally surprised if Punk won and they had a rematch at the rumble with regal getting the win there. They could continue this fued for a while.

SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2009 I thought Jillian was pretty hot right before she got the boob job. And I saw her wrestle a house show match against Krystal Marshall that didn't suck, so she does have some talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Chaos 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2009 Jillian went way too far with the cosmetic surgery, she looks awful now. She was known as being a good wrestler before she signed with WWE, so I'm not sure what happened. Maybe it is just who she's working with. Her singing gimmick was fun for a while, though. I don't know why she's still around. Batista's girlfriend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2009 Rumours were flying back in 2006 that she was being released / replaced by Angel Williams, but obviously that did not happen. I thought she looked fine before her facial surgeries melted, or whatever it is that happened that her face looks so unappealing now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2009 Awh, do we not get to use 'The OaO...' moniker any more? Since we're talking of Diva's and such, when are we going to see Gail Kim again?

Turbo Lion 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2009 Does anyone know if there's any kind of live stream I might be able to use while I'm in Spain? I mean, it'll be like 3 AM here but I'll probably be up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aero 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2009 Since we already have three matches for the Rumble undercard, and likely an ECW Title match added to make four, I don't see Punk & Regal getting a Rumble rematch. I know they do have five undercard matches occasionally, but since two of the four are now World Title matches, they tend to get a little more time. Plus, Punk and Regal have much more use in the Rumble match itself. It always bothers me when someone like Punk (or Jericho last year) has an undercard match and no Rumble appearance.
