    MVP vs MATT could be the match of the night if it happens...:D,,,...Definetaly see UNDERTAKER vs EDGE happening...I doubt MYSTERIO will get a ECW shot..thats too low even for him...Id say they will bring back the CW title and have some sort of a gimmick Gauntlet match??....ITs still on WWE.com it just says vacated so maybe there will be plans to bring it back

    Id love to see that match, never thought about it, dont think it would happen, because i think they want edge to have the belt into WM, and taker to go for it. but would be a very emotional match.

    hogan v anyone is not going to happen. hulk and vince have had a huge falling out over money, and now hogan is starting up his own wrestling franchise that is 100% steroid free (oh the hypocrasy) to compete with vince and WWE. so it will be a hulk free WM!

    apparantly flairs last match will be at wrestlemania and itll be against HBK! (roumers say its already penciled in on the card)

    That's what people were saying last year. Then Hogan showed up at the Raw Anniversary show and put over WWE in a way that's unusual for him. Vince has clearly got the upper hand in their relationship these days, if he wants Hogan at WM then he'll be there

  • Registered Users Posts: 16 Mono-Stereo


    Don't bother trying to book a card for Wrestlemania this year - its just not worth it. I've been an avid wrestling fan for 20+ years. I was at The Royal Rumble in 2000 and at Wrestlemania 22 in 2006 plus plenty houseshows here in Ireland and in England over the years. I think I know my wrestling but more importantly I think I know when to quit. So, R.I.P WWE - this ain't wrestling anymore - its a joke!! At least I have plenty tapes and dvds of the golden days gone by to keep me happy! By the way, I'm not dissing anyone that watches WWE today, just telling you that isn't what wrestling really is. Maybe in a few years time I'll return to it all - but its gonna take a miracle to stop the rot in WWE. A BIG HELLO to all you fellow wrestling fans out there - hopefully the jawdropping, electrifying, edge of your seat, crap your pants action and magic will return to WWE one day and make us all chant "HOLY S**T!!!" in unison one more glorious time!!! ;)

    WWE Championship[
    B]Randy Orton (c) vs John Cena vs Triple H[/B]
    I'm not mad about triple threat main-events but I can't see Orton dropping the title at NWO. It'll most likely be a no-contest finish so that both Orton and Cena face winner of the EC Triple H.

    World Heavyweight Championship
    Edge (c) vs The Undertaker
    This was always the plan, so I'm pretty sure Taker will win the Chamber most likely using that new finisher that causes "internal injuries". Whether Edge ends the streak I'm not that sure but I'm guessing Taker will take it.

    Career Threatening Match
    Ric Flair vs Mr Kennedy
    I've read a lot about Flair-HBK being the plan but I don't understand what HBK is gaining from ending Flair's career. HBK has done it all, Flair is a 16 time world champion and ending his career would be a huge push for a younger star like Kennedy.

    Shawn Michaels vs Batista
    I don't see a feud for Batista on SD so why not an inter-promotional match? It'll be a face vs face match with a post match handshake guaranteed.
    United States Championship
    MVP (c) vs Matt Hardy
    This feud made Smackdown watchable for a while and with Hardy's return from an appendix thing imminent, Hardy will take the title here.

    Money in the Bank Ladder Match
    Jeff Hardy vs Shelton Benjamin vs Rey Mysterio vs Carlito vs Elijah Burke vs Umaga vs John Morrison vs the Miz

    Triple Threat Match
    Y2J vs JBL vs The Big Show
    I think the Jericho-JBL feud will last till Mania and I had to put the Big Show in somewhere.

    Women's Championship
    Ashley vs Beth Phoenix
    Couldn't give a rats about this match but Phoenix has been pushed as a monster so whoever they give the title to will get a good push.
    ECW Title
    Chavo Guerrero vs CM Punk CM Punk will get the win here if it happens, can't see the title changing hands before then.
    If I left anyone major out please name and shame.

    I know what you mean about having a younger guy beat Flair, I said that when Flair's retirement first got talked about, but I think the problem now is that if they have Kennedy beat him the chances are that it could be a horrible match. At least with Shawn he can bump all over the place and make Flair look great and very likely have a good match. Any other young guys seem to be in other matches already (Matt, MVP, Jeff, Orton) or not at the level where they could credibly take part in Flair's last ever match (Carlito, Shelton, Elijah). Punk is the only other young guy apart from Kennedy that could fit in there, but I can't see that happening

    And you left out Khali and Big Daddy V! What would Wrestlemania be without those two?!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,478 ✭✭✭Bubs101


    You also left out ECW but I'll forgive you for putting the Miz in the MITB. I think Kennedy Flair would have legs. Kennedy is starting to show shades of his former self once again and the build up to it would be fantastic considering how good both of them are on the mic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    this time last year i was full sure Kennedy would be the breakout star of 07/08,as in rock/austin proportions, he was having solid matches and was awesome on the mic, then the steroid thing happened, he opened his big mouth and made a fool of himself in the process, hope he turns things around as i actually really like the guy

    It bugs me to hear people talking about Edge vs Taker as a 'streak vs streak' match. Edge's streak ended last year. Did he win the MITB match? No - Kennedy did. He was a loser like the others in that match.

    Had Taker been in this match and failed to win would people be saying his streak remained intact? I doubt it very much!

    Edge might not have been pinned or made to tap out but his undefeated Mania streak is definitely over. It's desperate stuff to try and suggest otherwise.

    John Cena's undefeated WM streak remains in place however. For the time being at least...

    ..

    Well if your WWE, I think it's smart enough for them to play on the fact that he's never been pinned at 'Mania.

    I don't know why everybody is thinking Taker vs. Edge is a lock. I think they'll have Edge as a champ for a while, build him up and the best way they can do that is have him win clean at WM which would mean Edge vs. Batista. Then you could always have Taker vs. Flair and as the ultimate tribute have Flair break his streak

    It's the biggest Smackdown match they can put on. And generally they put the biggest matches they have on Wrestlemania. That's the logic.

    Plus they set it up at Survivor Series with Edge returning and attacking Undertaker.

    It's his streak of not being pinned or submitted! It really doesn't bother me at all, they can stretch the truth if it makes for a good story. To me it's the same as saying that the Rumble winner has to main event Wrestlemania. I might think it's a bit unfair on the Rumble winner being bumped down the card if the show was for real, but it's not. They're just telling stories in the way that they think is best

    I don't see Batista Edge as much of a step down and it would really build Edge up. It would do nothing for them to have Taker beat Edge.

    I don't see the point in Taker keeping the streak forever. It's not as if it's a real accomplishment, why not work it into an angle and use it to benefit someone?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    i dont know why takers streak is so beloved in the wrestling world its not like he actually "beat" these guys is it, plus hes had imo 3 great matches at mania against Orton,Batista and Triple H, the rest have ranged from mediocre (jake roberts,sid, kane x2) to godawful (gonzalez, mizark henry)

    Because now at every Wrestlemania you have an angle with Taker which involves keeping his streak and knowing the WWE, if they did use it to benefit anyone it'd be Cena or Trips. Personally I'd like to see HBK end it. Most losses vs. most wins

    It's been done 3/4 times on ppv already over the last 12 months. And it's never been that good. 'Taker versus Edge is fresher and more to the point it would be the top bad guy versus the top good guy on the Smackdown brand which is what should be booked at 'Mania seeing as its the biggest show of the year.

    But Wrestlemania will sell regardless of the card. Save Edge vs. Taker for later. Have Edge screw taker in the elimination chamber or something. There are plenty of ways to give Edge a victory over Batista at WM and boost his profile while keeping Taker Edge on the go

    Edge vs Taker with the streaks on the line was a match I really wanted to see but I felt they f*cked it up by having Kennedy win the MITB match. Especially with the injury the latter ended up suffering.

    However if Cena wins at Mania this year picture next year - Wrestlemania 25 - John Cena vs The Undertaker with the streaks on the line.

    Now THAT is a match that will get fans riled up. I wouldn't mind either guy winning but of course others would be distraught at the idea of Cena ending Taker's streak. It would be big money.

    I think this is the big streak vs streak Mania match in the WWE now because I don't think anyone for a second buys the idea that Edge will end Taker's streak, when at one point it was a possibility. But you can't honestly rule out the idea of Cena ending it in a scenario such as the one above...

    .

    And a good way to turn Cena heel (a year or two down the track) if he cheated to beat 'Taker.
