[Movie] WWE/TNA fanfiction thread

Batista is facing Kane because Kane is Taker's bro. That type of deal. Also, Batista is doing a tweener thing right now.

Khali VS Kane as a feud is just blah. Kane can really go but Khali...?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Eventually, his acting career will slow down. So what's a good way to make some money quickly? Wrestlemania 25, five years since his last!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Jericho will probably come back, but on a short-time basis most likely. Actually, he does play mind games with Vince with his website. And everyone else too.

Rock in TNA? It's unlikely, but hey, anything can happen.

What about Hogan in TNA? Wouldn't that be...<fill in your favorite descriptive word[s]>?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Okay...so maybe three years? Hey, I was right...give or take a couple of years...

Most amazing jew boots

Who knows? Maybe it will be the emergence of Stone Cold Vince McMahon?! Ha ha...?

FELIPE NO

PRoblem is...WHO would Cena lost it to? They should have had Taker VS Cena...then there would at least be someone who could take the belt...

How ya doing, buddy?

Benoit losing clean was OK for build up to Cena/Micheals' world title match. Him losing by tap out was not because we all already know he will lose to MVP, so why not at least have him go in with some momentum.

Then again, when I think about it now, Benoit really hasn't lost TOO much since he came back in October. He has had a pretty solid US title reign.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, in the States they get out of it. In other locations, it is a pretty huge finisher...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

K ladies and gentlemen, time for your picks for Wrestlemania.

Shawn Michaels VS John Cena (C)
Originally I was going to go for Cena. Part of me still is, because they are seemingly making him unstoppable. However, that's just it...if Cena beats Michaels, what top face OR heel is left to challenge him? Orton? Maybe at Summerslam if he can get over the slump he has been in (remember, he was scheduled to face Cena at Mania not that long ago). Edge? Been done. Taker? Not likely given my next prediction. Benoit? Possibly as a challenger, but I doubt as a champion again. Michaels is really it at this point, so they might as well put the strap on Michaels, and have a series of rematches for it.

Pick: HBK

Undertaker VS Batista (C)

So, rumor has it that originally Vince wanted Batista to win. Now he is siding with Taker. I feel that is the best move. Fan support for Batista is slowly drying up, and a win over Taker will not do anything spectactular for his fan following, his career, or Takers. More so, Batista is over 40 I have heard, and hence probably only has a few more years left. IF that be the case, it would be wiser to have someone younger, like Punk, Kennedy, or even possibly someone like Kane (for nostgalia's sake) break the streak. Or...they could just let it be, and let Taker go out undefeated in Mania's.
Oh yes, more to it. When was the last time Taker was in the main event or for a world title for Mania? Ten years ago, when he beat a similar opponent (in some ways anyway) in Sid. I think it's an omen, coupled with the fact that if he wins, it will be 15 and 0, something never accomplished before. Here's looking to Taker hitting the big one-five, winning his fifth (and last) world title, ten years since his second, and almost five since his last. Oh, and just like ten years ago, he'll do it in old-school garb.

Pick: Undertaker

Lashley VS Umaga, with the loser having his manager head shaved.
So this is the big match getting all the coverage. And this is the match in which Vince is trying his hardest to build Lashley up (despite a luke-warm reception to say the least from the fans...and not to mention a chorus of boos when he won the title). In some ways, I commend him...the ECW title was playing third fiddle, and would have been forgotton more or less compared to the other two world titles. Whoops, it has been forgotton, as it's Lashley VS Umaga, Vince VS Trump, not ECW World CHampion Lashley with Trump in his corner VS IC Champion Umaga with Vince in his.
At any rate, they have tried hard to build Lashley up with the match, and his world title reign. Furthermore, Vince sees him as part of the future. So that, coupled with the fact Vince pinned him which basically is the rule of, "If you are going to be a superstar in my company, I must pin you", I forsee Lashley getting the win. And oh yeah, also because I couldn't see Trump going along with getting shaved.

Pick: Lashley

P.S. Btw, for those wondering about Austin, I forsee a stunner by him on Vince when Vince tries to run.

MVP VS Chris Benoit (C)

Ugh, what did they have Benoit tap to Cena's STFU? Yes, I know they are building Cena up, but Cena DOES has a perfectly good PINNING finisher. Use that, and allow Benoit to keep some face.
At any rate, as it were, I forsaw this match as far back as December, when MVP faced Kane in that Inferno match. Basically, after MVP lost, I knew he was getting a U.S. title reign, as usually newcomers either 1) get the title almost immediately or 2) go through some sort of beat-down from the established stars and get a secondary title reign. SO yes, MVP will win the strap, and Benoit will lose the U.S. title for the second year in a row.

Pick: MVP

Ashley VS Melina (C)

Doesn't this happen every year? And doesn't the REAL wrestler beat the challenger? Anyway, this year MIGHT be slightly different with the lumberjacks around the ring. However, I doubt it, as I forsee Melina, who is scheduled for a nice push, whom is also a decent wrestler (which they NEED RIGHT NOW), to retain.

Pick: Melina

MITB Match: Edge Vs Orton Vs J Hardy vs M Hardy Vs Finley Vs Booker T Vs Kennedy Vs Punk

Hard match here. Well, sort of. In truth, the Hardy's, Finley, Booker T and Kennedy are not likely candidates. Booker T and Kennedy just recently had title matches and feuds with the world champion. Granted, if my above choice wins, there would be fresh feuds, and perhaps the best way to get the strap off Taker (a sneaky win after Taker has a hard title defense), but that's been done too.
Edge, Orton, and Punk are left. Orton is the 'dark horse' of the three. It could be that they have him win the match, then turn face, feud with Edge, keepng the fan's occupied until he turns heel again and beats the unsuspecting Cena or HBK for the title at Summerslam. However, Cena has already had that happen to him, so that is unlikely. Furthermore, I doubt those long term plans are in effect, given the concern about Orton's image right now.

So that leave sit down to Punk and Edge. This is where it gets tough. Edge winning it again would be fine but only if HBK wins his match (which I feel he will). Cena Vs Edge has been done COUNTLESS TIMES. Granted, Edge just feuded with HBK/HHH, but not for the world title, and that could lead to a new series of matches with a bit of a new story (Michaels defending the strap). Could even lead to HHH turning on HBK and allowing Edge to pick up the win.
However, Edge IS injured, and he HAS won it before. Those are two strikes against him. Not that Punk doesn't have any himself it seems. For one, a good deal of the roster, including McMahon, Anderson, and so forth don't like him. Also add in the fact that he is still relatively new, and most of the time, the WWE doesn't like giving newcomers that kind of push unless 1) they have some sort back ground that makes them special (Rock, Angle and Brock) AND (or) 2) they are home grown within the WWE (Rock, Angle and Brock). Add in the third strike, which is, at the current time, I can't see him becoming world champion, let alone WHO he would beat. That does NOT mean Punk can't become world champion, just, how things are at the moment, not right now (although granted, he DID get a huge win over a former world champion).
So, with that in mind, along with the fact I am noticing they are going to have Edge have a undefeated streak (perhaps with the idea that he and Taker will go at it, streak Vs streak), am giving thenod to Edge.

Pick: Edge

ECW Originals Vs New Breed

New Breed? Wha? WCW returns! Oh wait, sorry, it's ECW here. Sorta. Anyway, I think only Jarrett Vs Chyna for the IC title in the "Good Housekeeping" match was easier to pick. All the stars on the ECW Originals, have, for the most part, been losing right and left. RVD's star has fallen and fallen hard after his mishap with Sabu last July. Sabu has never been able to really make an impact, aside from that of him constantly crashing into tables. Dreamer routinely gets beaten by Big Show, Khali, and just about anyone in the roster. Heck, we can pick HIM to be the fall guy in this match. And Sandman has lost SEVERAL steps. Add in the fact that two out of these four guys have stated they want out within three months, and three out of four have been less than pleasant with their comments about how their careers are, and you can see where this is going.

Pick: New Breed
Real Winner: TNA, for getting RVD and Sabu

Khali Vs Kane
Kane has never won a singles match. He will not start now, especially against a man who only his 'brother' has beaten. And that is the same man (Taker) whom also lost their first encounter with a chop to the face and boot on his chest from Khali.

Pick: Khali

How ya doing, buddy?

Taker winning was cool. I suppose taker will be defending his title against Batista, with perhaps Kennedy interfering and costing Batista the match (and set up a feud between those two). After that, perhaps it will be King Booker feuding with Taker up to Summerslam. Then, perhaps someone else. Rumor has it Taker is in line for a long title reign. Mayhaps he'll hold it until never Mania, win the match, and then Kennedy shocks everyone and beats Taker (reminding people he has up to a year to use it), thus ending the streak and getting the strap. Or maybe they will send him to Raw to beat Cena.

Speaking of Cena....yeah, okay, so I REALLY hope Cena loses the title this coming month. If not, he will basically beat the three main contenders to his title, leaving no one afterwards.

Most amazing jew boots

So....quite a few things have happened both in and out of the ring during the GFF downtime.

Taker is now seriously injured and will be dropping the strap to either Batista for Kennedy. Well, that was the plan (which was to make up for Plan A which was to have a long title reign for Taker). Now...

Kennedy is also injured so it may be Edge who beats Taker or Batista for the strap. Poor WWE, and more specifically poor Smackdown! People were wondering before who would be champion and who that person would defend the title against. Now, with Kennedy also out, there really ISN'T anyone to hold the title except Batista and there really ISN'T anyone for him to feud with, as all worthy contenders (save for Benoit) are either injured or on Raw. Looks like it's time for another, long reign by Batista....sigh.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Actually, I thought it was the Sheik, NOT the Warrior who went nuts.

Kennedy is down...but not out! Good news is he doesn't need surgery, but downtime of about 6 to 8 WEEKS (not months). One might say the WWE jumped the gun a bit.

Most amazing jew boots

Sabu's gone. Guess he didn't like the CONSTANT JOBBING TO THE BIG SHOW/NEW TALENT/ETC and decided to show up late to the arena without his gear.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well Storm, you called well. RVD is done.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Heard that myself. Smackdown! isn't doing well...I mean, I was checked the injured list and that itself is growing to the point IT could be it's own 'brand'.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think MA basically summed up my thoughts onthe entire process. Ring of Honor anyone (which is now having PPVs!)?

Oh, and 'fifth' brand along with the 'injured' brand now, the "Stephanie's Impact" brand.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ah, my dear friend, I highly advise it if you like good, solid, wrestling.

ROH is where some guys like Joe and Punk made their names. It allowed wrestlers like Gibson, Kendrick, London and others to really showcase their talent which was limited in the WWE.

You also get to see some wrestling machines like Bryan Danielson...basically the Chris Benoit of the indies.

Others have made their mark like Daniels, AJ Styles, while at the same time ROH has showcased talent from all other countries, AND even had the occasional "surprise" (i.e. Remember when Matt Hardy was on the indies for all of two matches? Both of them were here. Jeff also has made an appearance here, along with guys like Steamboat and Mic Foley).

I will state that they are 90 % wrestling, 10 % promos, but given some of the WWE and NWATNA (well, not so much that anymore as NWA has just broken away) stuff, that, as DDP would put it, isn't a bad thing, it's a good thing.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Actually, ROH is like the anti-thesis of CZW. In fact, they even had a small feud between the promotions for about a year or so. It was good stuff, with wrestlers from both promotions going over to the other to cause ruckus. Maybe you can try out some of the matches that have a ROH~CZW hybird but watch the other matches on the DVD as well. Good stuff.

Not so fast! with Trips injured, and it looks like HBK as well (latest rumor. Welcome to the WWE's 'fourth' brand, HBK ), it may just be Cena Vs Umaga. Guess Steph should have kept those guys after all...

I was speaking idiomatically.

I think Bret has tapped twice in his career.

Storm is right...Bret DID tap to his own move...but from Sting when a heel Sting defended the world title against Hart shortly before Halloween Havoc 99. It was the night after Jarrett last left the WWE (when he dropped the IC title to Chyna).

Bret then tapped again to Lex Luger via a single leg crab with Hart more or less selling the leg injury that had occured due to the aforementioned match and what Luger did during that match.

Well all, in a bit of sader news, it sounds like Jeff Jarrett's wife passed away. Sources aren't confirmed at the moment but there are several sources saying this has happened (for those who don't know, Jarrett's wife has been battling cancer for some time, and her health has been getting worse and worse from it).

FELIPE NO

Just unify the world, tag, woman, and cruiserweight titles. Have them float around the three brands, making those titles actually worth something. Then, bring back the TV title to WWECW as a secondary title that does not move. This way, those who hold the aforementioned four straps really are the 'top' guys (or girls) becaues they have to handle challenges from all three brands (kinda like what happened in the early days of the brand extension). The secondary titles can be used to help build guys up to the world title.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Well, I mean, Vince did make Booker T champ....after having Booker become King Booker and basically changing his entire gimmick so it was one Vince thought of.

And then there was Rey Mysterio...who lost every match as champion.

Okay, so nevermind on Vince...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I really haven't watched it for two years save for an occasional match. The last thing I saw was HBK superkicking Hogan. It isn't too bad though, actually kinda nice because I don't have to sit through the angles they are setting up, wrestlers they are burying, etc.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I remember when the WWE(F) was predicted to go out of business in 96/97. It was crazy, as things were going downhill for them, and it just seemed so likely that the company would fold. As it were, five years later, WWE/F had already beaten and bought WCW AND ECW.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
