spman 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 I'm here in the arena kinda bored so far, so I figured I'd keep you guys updated Dark Match: Eric Escobar def Kizarny Smackdown 3/6 Show opens w/ Undertaker in the ring cutting a promo on Michaels Jeff Hardy backstage with Vicky, says he won't wrestle Matt at WM MVP def Matt Hardy to qualify for MITB R-Truth def Chavo Edge / Big Show contract signing went no where until Cena ran in at the end and beat up both guys. Contract wasn't signed Maryse def Eve after the match Melina ran in and beat up Maryse. Real bad match here. Edge complains to Vicky about Cena backstage. Vicky cries and says contract will be signed on RAW Monday Shelton def Jeff via DQ to qualify for MITB when Matt comes out and hits Shelton to get Jeff DQd Triple H and Umaga go 3 minutes until Legacy comes and assaults Triple H. This made no sense to me given Ortons no contact stip on RAW, but what do I know? End of show 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 I say that this Monday for the contract signing, they should do like WrestleMania XX and have Cena sign in Big Show's name spot, forcing the Triple Threat Match if that's what they're planning on doing.

Golgo 13 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 I'd kind of like to see this be the year the MITB holder fails. Say Shelton or MVP win, they continue to be built for a while, but burn it in a match (as they'd be the type to use it that way) that's good, competitive, and manages to put them over strong, making them a contender anyway. It's risky and could easily backfire, however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 Hmm...looks like neither US or IC titles this time at WrestleMania. *Misses the days when all the titles were defended at WrestleMania. ...then again, those days were when there were only 3-5 titles insted of the 9 we have now.

BorneAgain 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 I've pretty much accepted Night of Champions as the one PPV where the titles will actually be showcased. If any of the mid-card belts get something at Mania, that's cool but its pretty unlikely these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 Triple H and Umaga go 3 minutes until Legacy comes and assaults Triple H. This made no sense to me given Ortons no contact stip on RAW, but what do I know? Maybe the contract isn't signed yet? Kinda like when Austin and HHH agreed, and then HHH attacked Austin, THEN signed it. Pure awesome and a cruel sense of irony, if that's the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Human Fly 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 I would like to see Shelton win MITB this year. He has been at midcard champ level for what, 4 years now? He is probably the hottest he has been since he was first drafted to Raw and beat Triple H and he has been in the match every year the have had it (maybe missing one, I do not think so though).

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 This Matt/Jeff stuff is a waste of Jeff Hardy at WM if that is where they are going. Given that Matt jobbed clean to MVP it's not like they are even trying to make some pretense of pushing him as a heel. This can't just be a singles match at WM. Why not have Jeff wrestle Matt in the opener and then get a title shot at the end of the show vs. the Edge/Cena/Show winner? It strengthens a mediocre title scene as well as spices up an undercard feud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, both titles belong to SmackDown right now and Vickie is the GM of both shows, so she can have things where she pleases. Just pretend this thought process all went down off camera.

That is still technically RAW's Title, only Edge is a SmackDown wrestler. Triple H holds the SD Title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Logically speaking, If Orton touches HHH without provocation, then the match is cancelled, and he won't have his title match at WrestleMania since the contract would become void. Meh, we'll have to watch it before we find out how stupid it really is. This is like reading the iMPACT! spoiler thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
