HHH has an amazingly negative record at WM. He's my pick to win, but you never know. It seems like the only time his ego doesn't win isat the biggest show of the year.

I hope The Brian Kendrick makes MITB which he probably won't

Cena vs Hogan won't be a classic, but for different reasons.

First, you guys give The Rock way too much credit as a wrestler. He was no doubt one of the greatest performers ever, but as a wrestler, I wouldn't puthim that much ahead of Cena.

Next, there was an actual storyline behind Rock vs Hogan. Cena vs Hogan would just get thrown together without a real story to care about.

Last, Hogan is way too old at this point.

Stone Cold does not look right without facial hair.

-Jericho was once again gold this week with Jimmy Snuka, I thought it was great, but still Steamboat was better, but I still think they need to bring out his opponent next week or the week after for Wrestlemania. I would really love a match with a legend and not Mickey Rourke, but who knows. I knew straight up that he was not done when he ran away, but I thought he was gonna bring out a chair or something and be more brutal, but his character is more of a professional now

-Also, I can't believe they put Kane in MITB. Has Rey ever even been in a Ladder match? Luckily Mike Knox isn't in, but still.
-To me HBK was an automatic over Kozlov and it should be a great Wrestlemania match with Undertaker.

-It's good to hear also, that Santino should be in MITB now. I mean they are letting him go to ECW for a match, I have a feeling that he will pull out the win.

-My MITB match lineup: CM Punk, Kane, Santino, Evan Bourne, Kozlov, DiBiase (Not sure on this one), MVP, Brian Kendrick, Shelton Benjamin

-HHH and Orton today were gold, to me it had Orton at his best with an interesting direction of trying to arrest HHH and HHH coming out to basically get him to face him at Wrestlemania. To me it was great because there was no HHH emotion crap and Orton has started to try to get HHH to hit him by talking about when he hit Stephanie with th RKO.

-Cena facing Hogan will be terrible to me. I am not a big fan of Hogan still doing matches, especially after seeing the highlights from HBK/Hogan from a few years ago. I guess this will be a respect match with both staying faces and Cena giving the respect to Hogan. Only good that can come out of this is if Cena after Wrestlemania gives some speech about respecting legends and it starts a feud with Jericho. Throw in a championship and it will be good.

My thought is that it will become Edge vs Show vs Cena because Edge vs Show just has no juice. However, if they stick with just Edge vs Show,that is one of the weakest title matches ever at WM. Show is a joke.

Jericho's segment was good tonight, but it was definitely the weakest so far. The reason for that is because Snuka can't talk. The other segmentshave been so effective because Flair, Piper, and Steamboat were all great on the mic. Jericho had to cut this one on his own. I do give him credit for theline, "Don't disgrace yourself" because that was great. However, it was just so obvious that Jericho would attack from behind with Snuka posinglike a moron. And that cardboard set knocking Snuka out was pretty weak.

I have no interest in the MITB right now. Kozlov will probably be the next one in.

I hate HHH, but he was GREAT last night. The best I have seen him in years. I finally got a little interested in HHH vs Orton.

 

[drameezy]

i stopped watching wrestling back in '01... was a big rock fan...

 

[100proof]

I actually WANT to see big show v edge, they been slowly building up the love triangle between the three of them

plus I have no idea how it would turn out. Orton v HHH is gonna end up w/ HHHmaking orton look bad in the long run no matter who wins at wrestlemania.

 

[gregzzy23]

If it is Edge vs. Show I am on not ordering WM. If Cena vs. Hogan is confirmed, smh. With the good HHH/Orton feud I was almost def going to order it.

With 5 more spots and Morrison and Miz not in it I'm pretty sure he will be in it.

And I might be the only person on here that doesn't mind Big Show getting the gold at WM.

imo, the leadup to hbk/cena @ wm 23 was far, far better.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

MITB is done. If Kozlov is in it then they might as well scrap it. There are so many good young performers that excel in ladder matches that aren't gonnabe in it.

 

[T0INE]

MITB is gonna be

x Infinity

 

[4wrestling]

* Kane vs. Boogeyman
* Alicia Fox vs. Natalya
* Santino vs. Mark Henry in a Money in the Bank Qualifier
* Jack Swagger & Miz & Morrison vs. Christian & Finlay & Dreamer

I am not watching tonight's show as a protest.

How can you say a program that has been going on for TWO WEEKS is better than the 2008 FEUD OF THE YEAR?????

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I wanna see Miz and Morrison form a stable with The Brian Kendrick and Ezekiel. Kinda like The Kliq, but without the politics.

They sign the contract. Big Show then cuts a promo saying that Edge is not a good champion and Vickie agrees. John Cena comes out and interrupts. Cena cleans house hitting Big Show with a low blow and throwing Edge into the ring post then hitting him with a table. Cena whispers something in Vickie's ear and leaves. Vickie leaves the ring in tears.

* Maryse b. Eve in a non-title match

- Shelton gets the win after Matt Hardy comes out and hits him disqualifying Jeff.

* Triple H vs. Umaga
- Triple H starts out at a strong pace, but Umaga eventually gains control. Power shifts back and forth.

Randy Orton keeps teasing the punt. He stands over Triple H as this week's SmackDown goes off the air.

Sounds like it was a good episode all around...

How the hell you gonna put Mark Henry in a ladder match? No chance in hell he takes a step on to the ladder at any point during the match.

Yup

Shouldve been:
MVP, Benjamin, Kennedy, Punk, R Truth, Mysterio, Kingston, Evan Bourne

Not knowing what Kozlov and Umaga will do at Mania ftl (Lets hope not MITB)

 

[100proof]

Mark Henry is gonna win money in the bank

 

[ovatyme316]

I told y'all it was gonna be bad with Mark Henry winning. But the SD spoilers are making up for it.
