Wrestling Century Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Ummm..HBK vs Taker last year worked out fine. Sorry. Need to think before posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justtxyank Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 'Taker vs The Miz. 'Taker vs Kofi. 'Taker vs Mysterio. 'Taker vs Sheamus. There are tons, but most of them are on opposite brands. But HBK and 'Taker are on opposite brands but they still wrestled. So there are still tons of options. Other than REy, none of those matches is anything special. Why should Undertaker be the only wrestler of all time limited to wrestling someone he hasn't wrestled before at this year's Wrestlemania? That's just silly.

Self Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 It's tricky to predict, because all of the matches I thought were being built to for the Rumble (The Final DX vs JeriShow, Kofi/Orton, Sheamus/Cena II) are being given away for free on RAW. Which means Runble will have another set of fights (at least you'd think so) which mens Wrestlemania is another step again... and there's a PPV in the middle there somewhere. I'd love to see Edge & Christian vs JeriShow. I'd love to see Morrison win MiTB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I think about it, a build for face Cena/'Taker could be pretty good. Maybe I should start rooting for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I'm not the target here. Other than Bret and HBK matches, I couldn't care less about what happens at Wrestlemania. I don't care about HHH vs Sheamus or any of that other junk. I don't care about Cena, etc. The only way I care about Cena is if he's wrestling Taker or Rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek B Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Yeah, I guess that it is silly. Now that I think about it, a build for face Cena/'Taker could be pretty good. Maybe I should start rooting for that. Honestly, I'm expecting to see Taker vs Batista at Wrestlemania. I have to admit though, I'm not fully up to date on the storylines at the moment but I'd put together a card like.. Taker vs Batista (title?) Cena vs Rumble winner (title, dunno who yet) DX vs Hart Foundation w/ Bret Hart (tag belts) Money in the Bank (featuring the likes of Christian/Shelton/Mark Henry/MVP/Swagger/Morrison/Kane/Kofi) - perhaps Kofi to win! Raw skanks vs Smackdown skanks Jericho vs Edge (assuming Edge returns in time) There would need to be another few matches on there, but that looks to be a pretty good card that would make sense based on current happenings. Sheamus would probably actually be in the MITB match really but I'm too lazy to think of a winner for the Rumble. But honestly, until it gets closer to the time I'm pretty much pulling ideas out my behind at the moment... but I can't see DX losing the tag belts before Wrestlemania and I EXPECT to see the belts on the line given that tag wrestling has actually main evented PPV events in the last few months. And Harts vs DX would be awesome, especially for creating new tag team stars and a great match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I hate the idea of Hunter vs Shawn. Their DX skits amuse me, and I prefer them out of the World Title picture. Together, they can elevate the tag belts and let fresh faces come into the singles title picture. Apart, Hunter is feuding with Cena and Orton again. So I'd rather they stick together, feud with a bunch of tag teams and sell some midget-themed merchandise for a while. Plus the idea of a 190lb Heel HBK "getting the heat" on a 250lb babyface Triple H makes me giggle like a schoolgirl. Randy Orton vs Ted Dibiase Bret Hart vs Vince McMahon Degeneration X vs Hart Dynasty JeriShow vs Edge & Christian (or Jericho vs Edge, depending on recovery) MITB: Kofi, Morrison, Hardy, McIntyre, Punk Undertaker vs John Cena I have Sheamus and Batista left over... Yeah... I don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me to be really excited about WM, this is the card... Taker vs Cena Bret vs Vince HBK vs HHH Definitely feeling this suggestion and seen it a couple of times now. Only issue is whether Bret would wrestle. But if you think something along the lines of Vince/Hogan but even more overbooked...it'd work. I definitely want either Cena/Taker or Cena/Batista, the latter has to happen too but if it happens now I'm not sure what Taker will do. On top of that let's see. MAIN EVENT: World Heavyweight Championship - The Undertaker © vs. John Cena Bret Hart vs. Vince McMahon Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H Edge vs. Chris Jericho That's four big matches. I think some title hijinks would be needed at EC/NWO to bring the WWE title into the Edge/Jericho or Triple H/Michaels match (preferably Edge/Jericho) to avoid a world title match being fifth-tier. MITB: Christian, Kofi Kingston, John Morrison (three I would hope certs and the prime potential winners), Sheamus makes sense and can be the big man, Bourne for some fun, another ring general to dictate the pace along with Christian, maybe Big Show if he's healthy. And someone like MVP/ziggler who's not up to much else. Orton/DiBiase need something, wouldn't mind Cody in the MITB...in fact this equation omits Batista as well as those two so something needs fixing, maybe a fifth tier title match is the answer after all. And then past couple of manias there's been an absolute squash, I could see the Miz falling victim to that and losing his title, would hurt his credibility but be a feel good moment on the night against someone like Masters, lol. And some diva rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... I don't know I forget, was HBK ever a heel in his programs with Taker? Was HBK ever a heel in a program with Diesel or Sid? Was Ric Flair ever a heel against Hulk Hogan? Was Chris Jericho ever a heel against HHH? Taker? Was Edge ever a heel against Batista? Taker? Probably not now that I think about it. Smaller guys can't get heat against bigger guys.

Self Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Yep, that's one of those times I post something without thinking it through. It's more about Triple H than anything. Whenever I see Chavo or Tyson kid 'working him over' it just seems a little far-fetched to me. Shawn's about the same size... but I guess Hunter would do more to make his buddy look good. Like Batista with Rey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHilton Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Not really a Batista fan, so the idea of him having a HUGE headline match against either Cena or Taker (again..they met at WM21 too) really wouldn't do it for me. Just a personal preference...he's not the same level of star as guys like HBK, HHH, Cena... even Edge IMO. I hate the idea of Hunter vs Shawn. Their DX skits amuse me, and I prefer them out of the World Title picture. Together, they can elevate the tag belts and let fresh faces come into the singles title picture. Apart, Hunter is feuding with Cena and Orton again. So I'd rather they stick together, feud with a bunch of tag teams and sell some midget-themed merchandise for a while. I think I've had enough of the DX skits. Apart, you could work an extended HHH/HBK feud that definitely keeps them out of the title picture. And then Hunter could feud with Jericho or even put over Shemus on Raw. [ EDIT: Thinking about it, there are far less options for Trips if DX breaks up. Maybe Shemus could "injure him" so he could get off TV for a while.] And HBK could get drafted to SD where he could work a full on feud with Undertaker, or Edge, or make Morrison into a star.

The Shape Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Oh I agree. But despite everything wrong with his personality in comparison with Cena's, I loved it when he beat Cena and would probably want him to do it again. So long as the crowd were in part on his side. Purely in terms of characters, I find him fairly enjoyable right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestling Century Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Did anybody else enjoy the DX skateboard skit with Hornswoggle? Anyways, another match that I'm hoping for is a tag title match with DX vs The Hart Dynasty with DX putting them over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyde Hill Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 lolz it wasn't TNA is better because of that TNA makes the same mistakes but seeing as there where so many posts about a first time Taker opponent match, and come on it was a pretty dumb thing to do. As well as Wolfe vs Daniels and AJ vs Wolfe first time on t.v.. Edit: I know I am more a fan of TNA then of WWE but as far as I know I haven't lost my objectivity or openly bashed. Have I criticized yes, bashed no imho. If I am going into uber mark wwesux territory because tnarlz please warn me and I will either purge or kill myself lolz.

Marshall Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 <p>Bret Hart won't be wrestling at Wrestlemania - there's practically no way. I see them going ahead with HBK-Undertaker II, with Vince in HBK's corner as the 'heels' and Bret Hart in Taker's corner as the 'faces'. After all, Taker was one of Hart's biggest supporters after the screwjob, threatening to walk and punch Michaels' lights in for real if he didn't put Austin over at the subsequent Mania, so it makes sense. Also, this allows Bret to screw Michaels somehow, leaving Taker's undefeated streak intact. Hart will probably punch Vince in the mouth, and leave, before HBK regains his face leanings by ending his reluctant colloboration with Vince with some Sweet Chin Music, giving Michaels the final limelight as always <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> This means they can go ahead with that match, give Bret some closure so he can finally move on with his life, and then allow HBK to come out on top, even over Hart, as always. In this respect, Hart will think he's finally beaten Vince and DX when in reality he's been shafted and HBK is ultimately the one who comes out smelling of roses.</p><p> </p><p> As far as other matches go, I see Jericho vs Edge if he's back from injury in time, probably Batista vs Mysterio over the world title if both are healthy, possibly Cena vs Sheamus vs Triple H over the WWE title and maybe Orton vs DiBiase as Legacy implodes. Plus random midcarders in the MITB!!!1!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justtxyank Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I didn't think he'd wrestle either, but there are now multiple reports that he has discussed returning the ring for the WWF on a few occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djthefunkchris Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I predict a Match where Hart is obviously going to win, but at the end, Vince Screws him by having the ref ring the bell (don't matter who his opponant it). That's my prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tha Black Phenom Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 <p>I'm gonna take a sip at guessing Taker vs. Michaels(even though I don't want it to happen), Bret as the special referee. Would kill two birds with one stone in a way and it'd be slightly - not much but slightly - better than having Bret on one's corner at ringside.</p><p> </p><p> But personally, I hope Taker/Cena and HHH/HBK goes down, and yes I do hope HBK plays the heel. I think the fact Triple H seems more viable as the heel is exactly the point - you wanna switch things up a bit and it'd be aesthetically pleasing for anyone to watch, the casual marks and the rabid smarks. Plus, HBK is gonna take time off after Mania anyway, when he comes back he'll probably be face again.</p><p> </p><p> As for Triple H getting back into the title picture, I simply wouldn't mind it if there's gonna be new blood in the main-event scene. Hopefully 2010 becomes the year of new fresh blood breaking into the main-event more than ever before, at a guess iff guys like Sheamus and Kofi are seen venturing in title matches, it sure as hell wouldn't be bad to see Trips ruffle feathers with those guys. But if it remains mainly Orton/Cena/HBK-topia, well...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
