WWE Wrestlemania 22 Thread *May Include Spoilers*

Little something I found:

The winner of tonight's Royal Rumble is not scheduled for a main event at WrestleMania this year.

Interesting imo..

Interesting imo..

As I've said elsewhere, I can see Randy Orton challenging Rey Mysterio to a match at No Way Out for the Wrestlemania slot. He'd win, obviously, setting up the Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton main event they want.

 

[PARANoIR]

I think itll be a triple threat match between Orton, Mysterio and Angle at Mania. I think theyll do what they did last year and have a number one contenders match and add it too a triple threat match.

But why would Mysterio want to do that??? he already has the WM slot doesnt he?

Who says he has a say? Maybe Long can just announce it? Maybe Orton can berate him and assault him until Rey demands a match and Orton demands the shot? There's plenty of reasons.

One reason who can actually say that Rey could carry the world title, he won the rumble yes, but has been destroyed against Mark Henry, 2 weeks in a row

So? Orton has been unable to beat Benoit in recent weeks. HHH hasn't worked matches at all. Same goes for RVD. Nobody in the final four or five really had a genuine claim to being a #1 contender on form.

Yes, but both HHH & Orton would be belivable champions, Rey no way, the only reason he is getting a push is 2 fold Batista injured, and the death of Eddie Guerrero, and has Rey been playing on this, or under instruction to do so, every match there's a eddie move or gesture, still the black arm band.

Lets compare this to Owen Hart, who when died, wrestlers didnt carry on like this for months, and remember the death of Owen Hart was a tragedy in how it happened, Eddie died, due to heart failure, and this was possibly bought on, from outside ring influences over the years.

Maybe i am not symapathetic as all, but i'm sick of all this eddie crap each week, isnt it time to move on, or is there backstage instructions to kick dragging it up

With all respect to Owen, he wasn't really as over (at any point in his career) as Eddie Guerrero was at the time of his death. Plus most of Hart's closest friends and family were (I believe) in WCW. Thirdly, the Attitude era didn't exactly promote sentimentality. The Batista/Rey hug when Batista left would have been booed out of the building back in the days of beer swilling, women abusing WWF.

LOL too funny!

 

[Parra_Eels]

so atm im predicting

cena vs hhh
angle vs orton
undertaker vs mark henry
hbk vs shane
ive also heard of edge vs mick foley and rvd vs carlito

 

[lockyno1]

Only one I can't see is Taker-Henry, it is just pointless. It will probally be a fatal fourway, Orton vs Rey vs Taker vs Angle for the WHC. The others you pretty much are spot on. I can see Trish vs Mickie James for the Women's title, and another Money in the Bank Ladder match.

 

[PARANoIR]

Edge v Foley? Thats one out of left field.

 

[thuganomics]

Spoiler: 5 Main events at Mania

- WrestleMania 22 will feature five main event matches.

John Cena vs. Triple H

Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton

The Undertaker vs. Mark Henry

Shawn Michaels vs. Vince McMahon

Edge vs. Mick Foley

- The storyline between Foley and Edge will begin by Foley mocking Edge for being a "transitional champion."

- Rey Mysterio is still expected to lost his title shot before WrestleMania.

- The official theme song for WrestleMania 22 will be “Big Time” by Peter Gabriel.

Ugh, stupid Rajah.com. I wish they'd find their own news. From 'The Torch'

This year's WrestleMania will feature five main matches. These matches, according to insiders, will be: John Cena vs. Triple H, Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton, The Undertaker vs. Mark Henry, Shawn Michaels vs. Vince McMahon, and Edge vs. Mick Foley.

The storyline between Mick Foley and Edge may be triggered by Foley mocking Edge for being a "transitional champion."

With Mysterio winning the Royal Rumble this line up could be changed, otherwise look for him to lose his title shot between now and Mania.

rajah is where its at... best wrestling site going imo

 

[PARANoIR]

Why does Taker v Henry get main event status?

 

[Misanthrope]

rajah is where its at... best wrestling site going imo

No, no it's not. All of their 'news' is taken from other news sites who have it up first. They've got nobody with any actual 'inside news' and just pick up what they post from rumours or from what others have said.

Rajah doesn't have a Meltzer, for one. Rajah's news is not the fastest, nor is it the most reliable. Their opinion columnists are sh*thouse. The only thing in its favour is, as you say, a good layout.
