DX Vs Legacy now added

should be a decent match I think, good to see HBK back, and I'm liking how they've started to move Legacy away from Orton a bit, and give them matches without him.

 

[Manurewa_Marlins]

I smell an HBK/Triple H fued coming up...

I am loving the Jeff Hardy/CM Punk fued. TLC, seeing CM Punk develop his nasty streak = gold!

 

[Big Pete]

The build up has been pretty sub-par but that's to be expected these days.

Interesting card and one that's got me interested.

In particular Punk/Hardy in a TLC match. I can honestly see something BIG happening in this match, something that may put Jeff Hardy out of commission for awhile.

Orton/Cena is five months too late, this should've been the main event at Mania XXV.

Regal/Christian, Ziggler/Mysterio, MVP/Swagger and Cryme Time/JeriShow are all enticing matches.

The less said about DX/Legacy and Kane/Kahli the better. I predict a total burial of Legacy while Kane/Kahli already stunk out the joint in one major PPV, I can't see things changing.

 

[Manurewa_Marlins]

I disagree, I smell Legacy going over and Michaels being pissed at Triple H for taking the fall, leading up to a massive fued inwhich Michaels turns heel. Main eventing Wrestlemania perhaps?

 

[Misanthrope]

Unless you've read something I haven't, Michaels has said he doesn't want a heel run again before his retirement.

 

[Manurewa_Marlins]

Only because he doesn't wanna have to go against his religious beliefs. If they were able to develop a storyline where he could be hated but not go against his beliefs, then im sure hed go for it.

I fail to see how his religious beliefs would have anything to do with it. 99% of bad guys aren't religiously or even morally bad. They just cheat to win. If that's his reason - he's a bigger idiot than I thought he was.

[Special K]

The ending was probably the coolest thing i've seen in the WWE for a few years

 

[Big Pete]

F**k forgot to put in my predictions. X_X

Sounded like a solid PPV. Legacy/DX sounded great while Cena/Orton and Hardy/Punk really brought the show up. Sounded like a much better PPV than last years mediocre effort.

By the by, Taker/Punk could be a great feud if Taker can put Punk over.

That's a big 'if'. He can afford to lose the feud, but I'm not sure his ego would allow him to lose to a much smaller, indy darling.

 

[Manurewa_Marlins]

I dont think Punk has to win to get over. He just needs to not get destroyed. It'll be interesting, because Punk will once again have to carry the promo-side of the fued. If he can deliever there, it wont matter what happens in the ring, The WWE fans dont care, as long as Punk can piss them off enough, he'll get over. Undertaker never loses, so I can see him coming away with the belt Survivor Series. But if Punk can keep developing his "ROH" persona, I can see him winning the Rumble in January.

 

[Marshall_magic]

I can see Undertaker vs Punk going for a few months, probably till about November/December, then who ever has the title at the end (Taker probably) dropping it to Jericho at the Rumble. Edge returns at the Rumble and wins it, setting up Jericho vs Edge at Wrestlemania next year.

achilies injury.... usually 7-8 months... so yeah your probably onto something...

id love to see Edge come back in the actual Rumble match.... like when Cena won it... shocked everyone when they heard his music... Edge could have the same reaction... even more if they can hide it somehow... maybe get him to announce his retirement a couple of months before hand and have Jericho give him a spray before he leaves. so theres more groundwork for a feud.

Plus when he got injured Jericho already gave him a spray. Not to mention an Edge vs Jericho match would bring the house down.

Edge VS Jericho would be orgasmic.
