DrVenkman PhD Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 What crazy antics will go down when Raw goes l-i-v-e LIVE and on the air from Americatown, USA in the Corporate Sponsor Arena as Big Show and Edge sign their contract for the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania World Heavyweight Championship bout? I would have to assume they peacefully sign it while that cad John Cena accepts his inability to fight for the title - but the only way to know for sure is tune in live tonight (or watch later on your DVR once you're done with CBS comedies).
NYU Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 It's going to be quite interesting to see Big Show and Edge break out into a duet as they get ready to sign the contract for WrestleMania.
DrVenkman PhD Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Posted March 9, 2009 That of course being a reference to Austin/Rock prior to Survivor Series 2001, as there never was a typo in this thread title. Nope, never at all.
Downhome Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 It wouldn't shock me to see them pull TBS out of this match tonight after "spoiling" the match last week. EDIT: Well, if they did that they may not be able to do so until next week since SD this week has already been taped. I guess it depends on what they taped for this coming SD.
Aero Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 WWE.com says HHH vs. DiBiase & Rhodes is set for tonight. I don't see it doing any favors for Legacy.
Chazz Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Also added,(according to prowrestling.net); Mayrse vs Melina, and Jericho vs Kingston in a MITB Qualifier. Should be interesting to see how they handle The MITB Qualifier. Maybe a legend(s) cost Jericho the match, finally giving us who he'll be facing at W.M. Or not.
Wally Balls Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Also added,(according to prowrestling.net); Mayrse vs Melina, and Jericho vs Kingston in a MITB Qualifier. Should be interesting to see how they handle The MITB Qualifier. Maybe a legend(s) cost Jericho the match, finally giving us who he'll be facing at W.M. Or not. I'm fairly certain that Kofi will win the MITB qualifier. After all the interaction with the legends over the past few weeks, there's no way he isn't involved with the legend(s) at WM.
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 I can't remember, but it probably did happen, however, did all this cross branding happened last year before Mania?
Chazz Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 I can't remember, but it probably did happen, however, did all this cross branding happened last year before Mania? They've been doing it like this for the past 2-3 years, IIRC.
cabbageboy Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Kofi does need that win, but in a way it does Jericho no favors to job to Kofi. It makes Jericho look like all he can do is beat up old men and can't beat anyone that is a younger star. The only good payoff would be someone like Hogan, but is Hogan going to mess with a guy that can't beat Kofi Kingston?
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 It's possible that whoever Jericho faces at WM costs him the match. Or maybe, for some reason, Lawler interferes to set up Jericho losing, Jericho faces Lawler next week and wins and while beating him up Jericho's post-match his WM opponent makes the save for Lawler.
garfieldsnose Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Chris Chavis has been spotted backstage. It's believed that he will be challenging HHH for the title at WM instead of Brock Lesnar. HBK is also believed to be involved in the angle tonight.
Chazz Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Lawler has never wrestled at a W.M. Somebody somewhere pointed out that Lawler himself brought this up on Raw a couple of weeks back. This certainly could be them planting the seeds for Jericho to face Lawler one on one at W.M., or for Lawler to be part of a Legends Gauntlet type match. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
theone Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Kofi does need that win, but in a way it does Jericho no favors to job to Kofi. It makes Jericho look like all he can do is beat up old men and can't beat anyone that is a younger star. The only good payoff would be someone like Hogan, but is Hogan going to mess with a guy that can't beat Kofi Kingston? Hogan JUST had back surgery. I wouldn't expect him to be wrestling at Mania in a month.
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Lawler as the legend to face Jericho at WM would be a huge letdown. As part of a gauntlet type match? Maybe. But a Jericho/Lawler singles match would be a major disappoinmet
Downhome Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Has there been any word on what came out of the recent booking meetings and all of that?
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Has there been any word on what came out of the recent booking meetings and all of that? The only thing I heard in reference to that was on the latest WOR show and Meltzer didn't know anything beyond that everything up to and including WM had been redone, yet again. It sounded like things are going crazy in WWE in terms of everything being rewritten over and over again. This does not bode well for much of a buy rate above the WM baseline.
theone Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Being more concerned about swerving the smark internet fans who read leaks than about the quality of your product never leads to favorable results... This sounds like bad news bears.
mw679 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 It's possible that whoever Jericho faces at WM costs him the match. Or maybe, for some reason, Lawler interferes to set up Jericho losing, Jericho faces Lawler next week and wins and while beating him up Jericho's post-match his WM opponent makes the save for Lawler. Well, checking my calendar, next Monday is 3/16(3:16?). Possibly Austin? Maybe? Just throwing it out there....
foleyfanforever88 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Today is Melina's birthday. What are the odds that she loses tonight?
ChrisMWaters Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 That package makes me think: Good thing Taker never had the Mania match with Benoit...or these packages would be ruined.
Boxer Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Shawn should heel it up like against Hogan at Summerslam. C'mon Shawn, SUPERKICK HIM!
ChrisMWaters Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Is it me, or is this the most that The Undertaker has talked in years?
TheTomster Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Whos playing face and whos playing heel?
Boxer Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Yes, Taker has literally been a mute since being dead again in 2004.
garfieldsnose Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 That package makes me think: Good thing Taker never had the Mania match with Tatanka...or these packages would be ruined. QFA
