Guest endgame722 Report post Posted July 3, 2002 At least it keeps a long reign going. Long reigns aren’t necessarily a good thing if the champ isn’t up to par i.e. Diesel, 1995. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest M Nyland Report post Posted July 3, 2002 Tune in at 9:50 Eastern Standard Time to UPN and watch the Undertaker TAP! that's all WWE.com has to say! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Flyboy Report post Posted July 3, 2002 The only time I remember UT about to tap was in his match with Ken Shamrock, but the Ministry saved him. (thanks Chris) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted July 3, 2002 so here's what we have. 1. after 3 weeks of the same triangle interview, Angle is inserted into title match. everyone hopes to god that Angle wins. however, this is unlikely. 2. Hogan comes out next week and calls Angle bald. Hogan and Edge feud with Angle and Jericho. personally, I'd take 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest chirs3 Report post Posted July 3, 2002 I sure hope Team Canada attacked after the Camera's went off, because other than just being disgruntled Canadians, what reason do they have to do that? It's like "We hate America... let's run in on the Undertaker!" I hope that happened off camera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest GenerationNever Report post Posted July 3, 2002 At least the lines between heel and face are blurred. Hell, you couldn't even consider Team Canada the main heels because they're faces in Canada. So it's cool with me. Please, Hunter, don't ever come back.

Guest cabbageboy Report post Posted July 3, 2002 It sounds like an interesting show. I think Angle will be inserted into the title match at the PPV, but I have no idea who wins there. Maybe UT beating Angle to save Rocky's heat? Hogan and Edge are just transition champs to some Canadian team (Storm/Christian?). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shaved Bear Report post Posted July 3, 2002 I think I'm the only one who's glad Angle didn't win the title... I mean yeah, the guy has it all, but I'm really liking UT's reign. Oh well, that's just me... it is just you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Blue Bacchus Report post Posted July 3, 2002 Maybe if the Team Canada beat down is aired then that could set up a Lance Storm v. Angle match at Vengence... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Black Tiger Report post Posted July 3, 2002 Edge and Hogan got the straps for the same reason as Foley/Snow. The current champs got stale and they needed transition champions. Kurt will wind up feuding with Team Canada and have an awesome match with Lance Storm. (Didn't Storm model the new Angle T-Shirt?) I wish Kurt would stay heel though, he's getting the Lex Luger syndrome of multiple turns in short time spans, plus his "dork" image doesn't work as well for a babyface.

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted July 3, 2002 Edge and Hogan got the straps for the same reason as Foley/Snow. The current champs got stale and they needed transition champions The Holly's were stale? They held the belt a week and a half. plus his "dork" image doesn't work as well for a babyface. Well, they could drop the dork thing... Kurt will wind up feuding with Team Canada yay, the long awaited Angle/Test feud. You know, you are really pushing Mellowsault.

Guest endgame722 Report post Posted July 3, 2002 1, If they don't push Angle to maineventer NOW I see him stuck in the midcard with Jericho for the rest of the year. Either that or if Lesnar wins at SS, Kurt will be jobbing to him pretty much every other week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Human Fly Report post Posted July 3, 2002 OK first of all Jericho has to cheat to beat a rookie in his second WWE match. Then, the rookie gets his heat back and beats up Jericho after the match. Someone help me with this. If the WWE has any intention of at least trying to resign Jericho they need to take him off tv and negotiate. At this rate he won't be worth very much and will be stuck in the midcard for the rest of his career. It seems like the WWE is doing the old "He's getting ready to leave and go to WCW so let's de-value him as much as possible". Now I know WCW isn't around, but that's just what it seems like.

Guest M Nyland Report post Posted July 3, 2002 I believe that if there was an Angle/Brock fued that Triple H would casually mention that it would be a good time to bring back those "referee stops the match" decisions.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BoboBrazil Report post Posted July 3, 2002 I just realized that they didn't even mention a trade for Benoit on this show at all. I thought they were going to announce who Vince traded Benoit for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted July 3, 2002 do you think they'd put the titles on Angle and Jericho? It is interesting.... but most likely we'll get a 3 way title match. I will admit i'm starting to lose track of the heels. we know Rock is a face. Taker was a heel up untill Monday, he's fighting an alleged heel (Angle) but also a face (Rock). Angle, a heel, helps Taker, a face, then gets chokeslammed in a segment that might not even be on tv in the first place. damn you Undertweener! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest jester Report post Posted July 3, 2002 At least the lines between heel and face are blurred. Hell, you couldn't even consider Team Canada the main heels because they're faces in Canada. So it's cool with me. Please, Hunter, don't ever come back. Maybe it's because I am Canadian, but I really hate the anti-America angle. It's been done before, it can do lasting damage to a fan's reception of the wrestlers, and if the US is going to pick an enemy nation, Canada?!?! Come on. Maybe they can team with Ludvig Borga, the evil Icelander, and capitalize on years of Iceland/American hostility. The end of the Cold War really fucked things up for easy villains. It's too risky to have an Afghani or Saudi Arabian villain, so let's go with the nation we can insult without being accused of being racist, hating their religion, etc. Sorry, I'm ranting. I will stop now. But how about this: Canadian heels are challenged by Canadian faces or Canadian/American duo who want them to show some class? Arrrgh...I don't know. I'll stop now. I mean, really stop now. jester Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
