[Movie] WWE/TNA fanfiction thread

You had to laugh where Jericho managed to get on RAW again even after losing for good last week.

Hm, so HBK is calling out the Deadman. I really do wonder though if they will throw some sort of curve ball like Triple H turns on him and nails him with the pedigree.

For Bret, what I'd like to see happen is this.

Bret comes out next week only to get throw out of the business by Vince McMahon. Vince states he is no longer a GM nor talent and has no business in the real.
Come the Royal Rumble, there is no word on who gets what entry other than one of the GM's had already determined who would be number thirty.

The royal rumble goes on and we get to number thirty. It's Bret. He comes down to the ring and knocks someone over the ropes. He then turns around into an enziguri by Jericho and is laid out. Jericho goes back to facing whoever is left and ultimately manages to sneak an elimination on the second to last man out. Jericho then begins to mock Bret, shoves him around, etc as Bret is still recovering. Suddenly, hears a lot of noise from the crowd, turns around, and sees Edge jumping over the ring barrier. Edge just stares at Jericho and smiles. Suddenly, Bret gets up and flips Jericho out fo the ring to win the Royal RUmble. Jericho is pissed at Edge which adds fuel to their feud while Bret moves onto the next night.

The next night, Vince is pissed. He can't believe that Bret is not only back but will wrestle for his world title. Bret, meanwhile, comes out and states that a few weeks back, just before his reign for GM ended, Bret signed himself to a contract to become an active wrestler again. he also gave himself the number 30 spot in the Royal Rumble. Bret then stated that now that he won the Royal Rumble, he is able to come onto any brand and challenge any champion. It could be on RAW, it could be on Smackdown!, it could be on ECW. Bret states that he wants to do this to make McMahon's life miserable. Bret stated he wants McMahon to feel once more that pain that comes when a WRESTLER is in charge and not the promoter.

Vince comes out, pissed off. He states how dare Bret enter himself in the Royal Rumble. How dare Bret enter his ring. Bret states that Vince is right, bret DID date by doing it. Bret asks what Vince is going to do about it. Bret states he can challenge any champion at wrestlemania, that it could be him, Bret Hart, wearing the gold one more time. Bret will state that he knows Vince and he knows that just as much as it hurts Vince to have Bret return, it will hurt him a thousand times more to see Bret as champion. Bret starts to say "But..." in which Vince interrupts him and curses him out. Bret looks down, looks up, then says, "Ya know what? See you Tuesday and on Friday.", then drops the mic as he leaves the ring.

Bret does show up both on ECW and Smackdown!, talking with the champs. Bret notes to Christian how amazing Christian is to still have the title, and how Christian reminds Bret of Bret in that he is a fighting champion. With Batista (the most likely candidate that will hold the title), Bret will be threatened by Batista. Bret though will state that Batista is good, but he is better, and that Bret has taken down guys bigger than Batista, stronger than Batista, and better than Batista.

This leads to a segment later in the night where Vince calls out Bret. Vince will state that it might have been Bret's return to RAW last week but this is his first time on Smackdown! And his last. Suddenly, from behind Batista whacks Bret in the back of the head with the title. This prompts the Hart Dynasty to come out only to be dominated by Batista. Rey Mysterio comes out but he too is destroyed by Batista. Then there's the gong, and the Undertaker is out, cleaing the ring and setting up the Batista / Undertaker rematch. Meanwhile, Bret is stretchered out of the ring.

It's about two weeks later in which Bret shows up. He'll say that he still hears a ringing in his ear, and the pain in his head is unbearable. However, that pain is nothing compared to the pain Bret has with the thought that Vince might beat him.

Bret will state that this also made Bret realize something, he has to think of people other than himself. He'll say he remembers years back when he was begging an old timer to give him a bone, yet here he is now taking the spot light and a world title shot. Bret will say he'd love nothing more than to clean Batista's clock, but he realizes that he must think of others first. Furthermore, Bret said that twelve years ago, there was something he really wanted to do. When he was champ, he wanted to gracefully vacate the title on Raw. He couldn't do it then and he couldn't do it now, but he can do the next best thing. He will forfeit his title shot at Wrestlemania.

Vince will come out, gloating. He will say that he finally beat Bret. That Bret finally gave up. Vince will saw that Bret knew he couldn't wrestle anymore, that his body couldn't take it. Bret will agree, he can't wrestle - but he can fight and he wants to fight Vince McMahon....at Wrestlemania.

Both men get face to face, Vince and Bret with disdainful looks on their faces. Vince will then take a step back and note that since Bret is no longer the number one contender to the world or WWE title, he has no busines sin the ring. Vince calls for security to remove Bret from the building.

Suddenly, the music of 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper, the GM for the night, plays. Piper will come out and state he has seen a lot of things in his thirty plus years in the business. But he has never seen the class and dignity and respect that Bret showed his fellow wrestler by giving up his title shot. Furthermore, Piper says that there's another thing he likes about Bret, Bret's a fighter, just like him. Piper will state that if Bret wants to fight Vince McMahon, he's on, and the match is on. Piper will add one more thing, Bret Hart is now allowed to appear on Raw, smackdown! and ECW whenever he wants, from now until Wrestlemania. Piper leaves, Bret smiles, Vince shows a mixture of being stunned and pissed.

Backstage, Piper confronts Orton who states that since Bret gave up the title shot, Orton should have it. Furthermore, Orton wants it at No Way Out, as he deserves a title rematch anyway. Piper states that he and Orton go way, way back. Piper remembers at the first wrestlemania when he had Randy's father, "Cowboy" Bob Orton in his corner. Piper will state that he also remembers Orton cost his team the match and that Piper NEVER forgets. Orton will NOT get a title shot at No Way Out, no, he'll have to fight for it in a battle royal, tonight.

And....that leads us up to NWO. Lots of stuff happens leading up to Mania btw. but I think I wrote enough.

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

I want to see what everyone else wants to see: Bret beating the living hell out of McMahon at Wrestlemania. Not just a quick sharpshooter spot or a quick punch...A long, drawn out 15 minute beating with some drama involved (guys jumping in to save McMahon, etc).

I was speaking idiomatically.

I am calling it right now.... CONAN O'BRIEN WILL GUEST HOST RAW SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE.

Also indeed... Jericho keeps finding his way back onto RAW.. only to get punked. Its like bad as Chavo getting owned by Hornswoggle.

I for one am glad the six-sided ring is gone. You can cite the whole originality thing but most people associate (and will continue to associate) pro-wrestling with a standard four sided ring while most indy feds and the WWE uses it.

Hope there isn't too much backlash with other TNA fans though.

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

TNA fans have had "we want 6 sides" signs in the air.

Also TNA is garbage FYI.

Spoiler:

Daniels jobbing to Val Venis?

Ken "Imma injure you in my debut" Anderson against Abyss?

Scott Hall getting hyped then backing out?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I was planning on watching the PPV later on tonight once the first airing was over.

Thanks for not using spoiler tags.

How ya doing, buddy?

sorry bout that. figured you'd have seen at least two of the things i said in headlines on the pro wrestling sites

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

TNA is trying, have to give them that much at least.

Spoiler:

Basically its like they are trying to repeat what WCW did, bring in former WWE stars that WWE didn't want anymore and hope it will attract people. The only problem is that back in the day, guys like Kevin Nash and Scott Hall were well liked among fans so it was compelling, but with TNA...they are trying that same thing with guys like Val Venis and Mr. Kenn...Anderson. Nobody cares about them. If they want it to work they need to do something interesting with them. WCW had the whole nWo thing going and it worked. The guys at TNA are just on cue to look hot for a couple weeks and then fade away into midcard status.

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

On TNA:

Spoiler:

It seems TNA is trying to bring people that are past their prime other than Jeff Hardy. However when I saw Hardy's entrance... it didn't have the same feel or impact like he did on WWE which just makes it worse for TNA.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Spoiler:

Way to go TNA, way to really screw things up.

First, what the? So it's the Montreal Screwjob. Again. This is old now. Here is a list of angles that either had the Montreal Screwjob or some lingering aspects that is referenced to it:
1.) Sting Vs Hogan - Starcade 1997
2.) Rock Vs Mankind - Survivor Series 1998
3.) Bret Hart Vs Goldberg - Starcade 1999
4.) Hogan Vs The Rock - No Way Out 2003
5.) Christian Vs Jeff jarrett - Whenever Christian won his first world title
6.) King of the Hill match - Whenever Christian lost his first world title.
7.) First three months of 2006 at least with HBK feuding with McMahon
8.) C.M. Punk vs Undertaker - Breaking Point 2009 (or whatever it was called)

This is the NINTH time we have had some sort of repeat of the screwjob. I'm not even counting the current Bret / McMahon feud and I have this feeling I forgot one. Either way, this is ridiculous. In 97, it was shocking. Starcade would have played off it perfectly had Hogan not gotten a regular, real three count on Sting.

The Rock and Mankind also made sense. It had been a year already, and Vince McMahon was the top heel.

After that, it tankered off. Furthermore, it's confusing. So is Angle a face or a heel? Is Hogan a face or a heel? Are they turning Angle, whom they just turned recently after a long stint as a heel, back to being a heel, thereby leaving the top contending faces to virtually no one? Does anyone notice the humor that with Angle spitting in Hogan's face, Hogan is representing Vince McMahon?

Talking about top faces, it use to be the rule that when a face got super popular that you'd turn him heel. This doesn't work in this age. I am sorry, but A.J. Styles was the perfect face. He gave daring matches, and could sell well as a babyface. He was a comical heel and did that well too but that;s just it - he was comical. And either way, Styles is NOT the next Ric Flair. Well, aside MAYBE from wrestling ability. MAYBE. Otherwise though, Styles is his own wrestler, whom has has own persona. Having him wine and dine like Flair is silly.

Going on the other side, Joe is now a face again. That came out of...nowhere. He is also going for the world title. He wasn't even on the last PPV. I don't blame Joe but well, he wasn't on the last PPV. Also, is he using his title shot for this? Are they going to make him look even worse than Hermandez for wasting his shot?

Speaking of AAO, I am confused. I thought there was a tournament for whom would face Styles. So will the winner of that match, along with Joe, face Styles? or doe sthe tourament continue on AAO? this one is a bit confusing but for now I'll give the benefit of the doubt as it might be just how the spoilers are worded.

Then there are the Dudley Boys. Alright, so the Dudleys just turned heel and aligned with Rhyno. Now that alliance is gone out the window and they turned face again. and why? They are feuding with the Nasty Boys. I agree with Bubba, "Where have the nasty boys been the last ten years?".

When the Steiners came back, it was done well. Furthermore, the Steiners had that aura around them that made them special. It also didn't hurt that they had still been around T.V. within the last decade.

However, the Nasty Boys...I am sorry but no. Brian Knobbs was seen around 2000 feuding for the Hardcore title. Prior to that...they teamed...but aside from a few tag title wins in the mid 90's, didn't accomplish much.

I might...MIGHT have gone with Hall and Nash against the Dudleys (Hall's condition aside) but not the Nasty Boys.

Speaking of Hall and Nash, wow. I feel bad for Hall at this point. You can tell he wants to be back but he knows he doesn't quite hav eit like he use to and may never get it back. I'd like to see Hall really get himself back into shape but that may not to be. In addition, Nash is limited himself. I'll give Nash this though....he really knows how to preserve himself. He's a smart man.

Did anyone notice that Val Venis beat Daniels? The same Daniels who one month ago was IN THE MAIN EVENT FOR THE WORLD TITLE AND HAD PINNED STYLED A FEW WEEKS EARLIER? I feel bad for Daniels. Suffice to say, they don't have much for him. Maybe he can go back to Ring of Honor.

Final thing. You may have heard that prior to the tapings several in production addressed the crowd telling them they were basically part of the show and they had a role. They went on about how they didn't want cursing, teh finger, etc.

I can understand this to an extent but by literally saying 'you have a role to play' and more or less telling the crowd their role, you are more or less taking away from the interactive part of the show. So people curse. Too bad. So people give the finger. Too bad.

Ten years ago, both WCW and WWE (and ECW prior to them) invested heavily in the fan's opinions and attitude. They encouraged the fans to be an active and 'real' part of the show. They didn't say "Hey, when The Rock comes out, cheer him". People did as they wished. That was what made many matches even better because people gave their genuine emotions.

I realize that its a different time and place. However, even so, telling the fans basically to play their role is just going backwards. It's counter-productive. And honestly, BEFORE they go around making the fans, wrestlers, and staff provide a more fan-friendly appearance, they need to make changes where it all begins and that is their name.

Honestly, TNA has gone downhill. They have managed to take out all their top faces. In the same process, they turned one of their top faces heel but in such a way that its hard to take him as a heel. They have managed to undo a few months fo storylines within a few weeks, making various turns by various guys look confusing. Furthermore, I feel we are back with WCW in 1999 where everyone was attacking everyone, with no one having an idea of who was a face, who is a heel, and so forth. Yes, back in 1999 and even today there are shades of gray. However, there is still enough black and white in those shades to determine the face from the heel.

Hopefully this will all come out good in the end. Hopefully there will be some logic to this all. I mean, yes, obviously they are setting up Sting Vs Ric Flair, Angle Vs Hogan, and Angle Vs A.J Styles down the road. However, I hope in six months they really have it all settled down, that you know who is what, and that things make sense again.

ROH is making their own TV title. I'm excited at the prospect of seeing the TV title on national T.V. again after a decade. I look forward to seeing twenty or thirty minute matches ending in narrow draws (with perhaps a sudden win here or there). It always made for good wrestling and television. Furthermore, they always put the T.V. title on someone who could wrestle (OK, so yes, WCW did put the title on the Renegade so I guess the word always is a bit of a stretch). In addition, ROH really knows how to make a title mean something. ROH has been around for eight years now and has had only three titles, the world, the pure, and the tag team titles. Given it has been some time since the world and pure titles were unified, the timing is right for a T.V. title.

Most amazing jew boots

Wow...

Spoiler:

If you think what happened at Genesis was bad, Impact just made that look like a joke.

It was almost the EXACT same scenario as SS 1997, except this time, it was Kurt Angle and AJ Styles. Angle was screwed out of the match, spit in Hogan's face, much like Bret did McMahon's, and went on a rampage from hell.


And apparently now, Mick Foley is fired.

Something tells me...

Spoiler:

Angle and Foley will wind up going BACK to WWE, if this wasn't Foley's "last hurrah" in professional wrestling (beating the fuck out of Eric Bischoff.)

FELIPE NO

DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT WEEK on IMPACT:

Foley didn't get fired. He got "fired" AKA Bischoff got butt hurt. Next week Foley comes out and starts talking about how he didn't do it and blah blah blah.

TNA tapes 2 or 3 shows back to back. But next weeks show isn't much better

You were warned

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

Geez, so much has happened to both companies... So all the wrestlers are flip flopping between companies. :/

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Really the only one who flipped back and forth was Christian.

But when he left in what, 05, it was probably a good time for him because there were more up and coming stars, and I also thing Hassan was actually on a good path to becoming top heel in WWE till UPN got all butt hurt.

Angle left WWE because of the work schedule for TNA...then wound up getting divorced. That worked out good. (FAIL)

Booker T left TNA and was probably the best move because thats when TNA started to do the nose dive.

Jeff Hardy...the only thing I know FOR SURE is that hes on trial for drug possession lol.

Mick Foley left cause the commentator job wasn't jiving with him and Taz left because, I would assume just everything just kinda started going down hill

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Of those flip-flopping:

Christian - Was part of WWE, then to TNA, now back in WWE. Has done the best of all of those who have bounced back and forth.

Kaz - Was part of TNA, briefly went to WWE, came back to TNA. Was doing well to about a year ago. Now is an afterthought sadly.

Goldust / Dustin Runnels / Black Reign - The winner of the most flip flops. Was part of WWE in 90, then part of WCW, then WWE, then TNA, then WWE, then TNA, then was gong to be on Saturday Night Main Event but went back to TNA, then WWE.

Gail Kim - Was part of WWE, then TNA, then back to WWE where all her skill and talent is wasted.

Shannon Moore - Was part of WCW, then WWE, then TNA for a brief time that saw him even beat Styles (I think), then back to WWE, then TNA.

Jeff Hardy - Was part of WWE, then to TNA, then back to WWE, then to TNA, now his status is unclear. It wouldn't surprise me if he returned at the Royal Rumble and that his appearance in TNA was only for shock purpose and because they gave him a huge, huge paycheck.

Roddy Piper - Went to WCW, then WWE, then WCW, then back to WWE, then to TNA, then to WWE, then back to TNA, then to WWE once again.

Jim Duggan - Went to WWE, then WCW, then WWE (I think), then TNA, then WWE.

Hogan - Went to WWE, then WCW, then some indy fed to complete with Vince, then WWE, then just stopped for a while, then WWE, then stopped for a while, then WWE, then TNA. I added the "stops for a while" because Hogan makes his stops seems like he is joining another company with the way he promotes them and all.

There are certainly more. Matt Morgan, the Dudley Boys, Kurt Angle, Flair, Hogan, Nash, Hall, Sean Waltman, and more came from WWE to TNA. Of course, there are also a few WCW alumni who came to TNA too, Sting immediately comes to mind.

It goes the other way too. Punk and Senshi were both part of TNA who went onto WWE. Granted, Punk was with TNA during its early years, and really joined WWE from ROH.

Then there are of course jumps from ROH to WWE and TNA with Danielson and Punk being the most current notable examples, but other ROH alumni like Daniels and Joe being some "big names" that have moved along as well.

Oh, and I didn't bother to count those "one stop" shows where someone from TNA was just used as jobber talent for WWE stars. For example, Joe did wrestle a match on WWE Heat years back. That doesn't count though.

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

So, the Monday Night Wars is officially back in full force come March 1st. The word is out that the decision has been made to put TNA head-to-head with WWE each Monday night starting March 1st.

Oh, and ROH is screwed. Well...maybe not. If TNA really goes head-to-head with WWE, ROH can still get its one hour of unopposed television.

Wouldn't it be something if ROH outlasted them both?

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

If TNA goes live, yes it'll be interesting.

If its a pre-taped thing, it'll fail.

Most amazing jew boots

Prediction Time:

Mickie James Vs Michelle McCool - What is it with WWE and mocking women about their weight? At any rate, this has gone one for quite a long time. McCool has also held the title for over six months. Watch for James to get her revenge and the title.

Maryse Vs Gail Kim - Gail made it to the finals?!?!?!?!?!?! Wow. Then again, I guess the WWE really was without a better choice (at least in their opinion). Watch for Gail to come close but ultimately lose to Maryse who will hold the title for months on end and feud with Melina. Watch for Gail to soon turn heel....although there really aren't any faces for her to feud with that would mean much.

Christian Vs Jackson - Christian has had a wonderful title reign. If you ignore the hiccup from June where Dreamer won the title, Christian has held the title since May I believe. He has been a fighting champion and fought virtually everyone on the roster. That said, watch for Jackson to win the title so Christian can move onto other things and Jackson to get his chance at being a superstar.

Sheamus Vs Orton - This reminds me of Angle Vs Triple H in 2001 where the fans didn't know how to cheer for. The only difference is Orton, who has been a top heel for the past two years (well, longer) is starting to tamper off unlike Triple H who had reestablished himself as a top heel after revealing he was the one who took out Austin.
That said, we have already seen Orton / Triple H at Mania and many other PPV's. Sheamus / Triple H is what the WWE is aiming for at this point. Look for Sheamus to retain, perhaps due to a miscue by Ted DiBiase Jr., and hence set up the final stages to the break-up and feuding of DiBiase and Orton.

Undertaker Vs Rey Mysterio - This is the first time Undertaker has walked into the Royal Rumble as the champion. I am seeing this, and Undertaker's reign as part of Taker's last hurrah. The word is out that he is hurt, bad. His recent surgery hasn't helped much and after Wrestlemania he will have a much more limited schedule (or potentially retire. I think if Shawn beats Taker, it's a sign that Taker is officially done). Presuming Undertaker makes it to Wrestlemania as champion, which there is good reason to believe, he may very well break his previous longest reign as champion all the way back in 1997. With the rumors of his retirement going around, I see this as something that happened with Sting....that is Sting had his one last, long title reign that was his longest ever, before eventually passing the torch so to speak to AJ Styles.
The problem is, the 'AJ Styles' of the WWE is HBk. HBK is 40 + years old and is certainly not playing the role of the 'young star having the torch passed to him'.
Anyway, look for Undertaker to retain over Rey. If Undertaker didn't lost it last month, I heavily doubt he'll lose it all the way up to Wrestlemania. Watch for Batista to interfere, resulting in Rey and Batista perhaps having one more match at NWO to settle their score. watch for Undertaker to meet up with HBK one more time where the only stipulations they could add to their match to make it more meaningful aside from retirement would be for the title.

Royal Rumble - This is a hard one. Odds are on either Triple H or HBK. However, either man would be rather stale. Unfortunately, there is no one on the roster who has really been built up to go for the world title at this point either. So what about someone who WON'T go for the world title? Yes, I know you know who I am talking about. What about Bret Hart?
I know what you are saying. Bret can't wrestle. Fact is, he doesn't need to. All he needs to do is get in the ring, take one "blow" to knock him down for a long period of time, then throw the last person left otu of the ring after he recovers. He could then use his shot to face Vince McMahon which is the rumor match for Wrestlemania.
As for HBK and Triple H...well, we hae elimination chambers, don't we? What if Triple H earned a shot in the RAW elimination chamber while HBK got one in the Smackdown! elimination chamber? Both men would have their shots, we'd have a shocking Royal Rumble win,and Vince / Bret would be set up.
And yes, I know, "Are you kidding me? Bret isn't a wrestler anymore. A non-wrestler shouldn't win the Royal Rumble!". True. But then I merely point to ten years ago when the Royal Rumble was won by Vince McMahon.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Predictions for one of my favorite PPVs? I'm in:

Mickie James Vs Michelle McCool - I don't follow Smackdown, but I do seem to recall hearing about the whole Piggie James thing going on. Mickie lost at the previous PPV, but look for her to come out on top here as the new women's champ.

Maryse Vs Gail Kim - Maryse. If Gail wins I'll be shocked.

Christian Vs Jackson - Don't follow ECW either, but this sounds like the whole Cena/Umaga or Cena/Khali thing all over again. Christian wins and retains.

Sheamus Vs Orton - People will probably chant for Orton. I'd say Legacy comes in and tries to help Randy, only for the ref to see and disqualifying Orton. Sheamus retains.

Undertaker Vs Rey Mysterio - Tough call, but I'll go with Undertaker to get the win. As far as the whole streak thing goes, it's like I always say, "Some things are better left alone."

Here's what I see happening: Undertaker keeps his title to Mania, HBK wins MiTB. Taker wins his first bout, then the final match of the night will be HBK cashing it MiTB. HBK will come up short, finally breaking the trend that whoever wins MiTB ends up capturing gold.

Royal Rumble - I can narrow it down to three possibilities:
1. HHH (which would set up HHH vs. Sheamus (c))
2. Edge (which would somehow set up Edge vs. Jericho (c))
3. Kofi (which would set up Kofi vs. Orton (c))

I dunno how Edge is healing up, but I feel HHH will win the Rumble and go on to face Sheamus at Mania. For the love of God, if it's HHH and Orton again we're gonna be put to sleep.

FELIPE NO

Actually, another interesting idea would be for Jeff Hardy to win. Wouldn't it be something if Vince and Jeff actually planned for Jeff to do a one-time appearance at TNA just to add to the shock value if he were to show up and win the Royal Rumble.

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

Think I'll give this a shot.

Mickie James Vs. Michelle McCool - Honestly, I only watched SmackDown for the first time in a couple months last week, and between then and now, I see things haven't changed, as Michelle is still a child with the "Piggy" crap. I, too, foresee Mickie James getting revenge, as well as the title.


Maryse Vs. Gail Kim - The Diva's time slots on the Raw cards are slots I wind up evading due to, well, the fact that it's not that interesting to me (and no, I'm not gay). However, I tend to usually side with fan favorites in these situations, so, I'm just gonna say Gail Kim.


Christian Vs. Jackson - There's something I'm somewhat seeing here, and I'm willing to bet I'm the only one seeing it. IF, and that's a big if, Jackson does take the title from Christian, I semi-predict somewhat of a small face turn, as Regal will try to persuade Jackson to give him an immediate title shot, which Jackson will possibly refuse and spout some shit like "Prove you deserve it".

Again, food for thought, but I could also see Regal scolding Jackson if he loses, in which case, Jackson will slam the hell out of Regal.

For my choice, I pick Christian.


Sheamus Vs. Orton - Honestly, I couldn't give 3 shits about this match, or the outcome, because for weeks on until NWO, or even WrestleMania, should whomever wins here defend their title successfully at NWO, we're gonna have 15-20 minutes of gloating, saying no one is worthy, and followed up in the main events of the shows leading to the PPV with dirty-ass tactics to boost their reps even further for me to hate.

For the sake of it, agreeing with most here, Sheamus will retain.


Undertaker Vs. Mysterio - somewhere in the mix, yes, Batista will interfere in the match. As far as who he attacks, well, it'll obviously be both men. Batista still hates Mysterio for his Bragging Rights' loss, but at the same time, he did mention something about Taker's WM streak.

Basically, Taker will retain from a No Contest decision. What feud this will lead to come WM where he will hopefully retire with an 18-0 record, I don't know.


Royal Rumble Match - Over the past few years, Rumble matches have SLIGHTLY started becoming predictable as to who would win. It's either after a "dramatic return", or some event leading up to the Rumble, like last year with Orton and Vince. Honestly, this is still my favorite type of match in the WWE, but at the same time, I'm getting somewhat bored with how it ends.

I'm actually seeing several futuristic storylines depending on the title matches and the Rumble winner.

If Taker wins, either Shawn or Batista will win the Rumble, as both of them, as stated earlier, mentioned wanting to break the streak, but it also depends on if Taker keeps the title after NWO.
If Mysterio wins, kinda going with either Cena, Trips, or Batista. If Batista wins, then the rivalry will conclude at WM. If Cena or Trips, depends on the Orton/Sheamus match.
If Sheamus wins, my odds-on random choice, though I'm not saying I WANT him to win, Cena, which will then set up a special-rules rematch at WM26 between him and Sheamus.
If Orton wins, then it comes down to which match comes first out of the title matches and the Rumble itself. Honestly, I'm at a loss for guessing if Orton wins who'll win the Rumble, because no one's gonna wanna see another Cena/Orton, Trips/Orton, or Kofi/Orton feud. They've all lasted long enough on multiple occasions. And if DiBiase's face turn is gonna have any shot of kicking off soon, then he can't win the Rumble. So, yeah, really can't predict a Rumble winner if Orton wins.

How ya doing, buddy?

Mickie James Vs. Michelle McCool - I kinda know whats going on so I'm going to say McCool


Maryse Vs. Gail Kim - I'm going to say Maryse just because when she lost the title, it wasn't by choice, it was because she got injured


Christian Vs. Jackson - I really am going to have to put Jackson as the winner in this match because I forsee Christian going to Smackdown or RAW


Sheamus Vs. Orton - So they're trying to push Sheamus as a monster Heel...so most likely Sheamus will win and then more will be at the bottom about with Orton


Undertaker Vs. Mysterio - Fuck Mysterio. Bitch kept Ziggler from getting pushed into the IC title spotlight. Taker all the way


Royal Rumble Match - Okay so I see a few different possibilities. IF WWE was playing smart, they'd put Kofi against Morrison in the final 2.

Morrison and Kofi are both getting huge pushes and Kofi against Sheamus could be pretty big at WM. Or Even Morrison against whoever.


Orton will probably either A) Jack someones spot with a head punt or B) Demand to be put into the RR after losing to Sheamus. but I also think that Teddy Jr. is going to finally cross Orton at the rumble and split from legacy.

HHH and HBK will eliminate one another.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The winner of this Royal Rumble is.......

Spoiler:

EDGE!!!!!!! Hope he's back as a face but eliminating Cena will warrant some questions from the crowd and possibly put him back down as a heel which is overdone.

On other matches:

Spoiler:

Other than that... all the other matches somewhat sucked story wise... they were somewhat predictable and nothing surprising.

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

Given it's nearly time for RAW, I'm not worried about spoilers.

Edge will probably stay as a face. He got a face reaction for his big return. Plus, Batista won the Royal Rumble while he was starting to turn face, eliminating Cena ironically enough.

Part of me would be amused to see HBK lose to Undertaker. Given how he has been booked to be completely crazed to face Taker again, he'd probably go insane if he lost. That's a shame too because that means Taker's streak will end....something that should never happen.

And on sadder news, Jack Brisco has passed away at 68. You want to know what is scary though? 68 isn't that old but isn't that young either. Flair (almost 62) and Vince McMahon (64) are near that age.

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