Backlash

[theegomjw]

Having seen Raw, im not convinced that either HHH or CENA will be dropping their belts to their opponents.

Edge just put Cena down for the 10 count on Raw, will he get to do the same to 'Vinces boy' at the PPV for the World title?

If HHH losses to Orton, the belt remains on Raw.

So to me it looks like BOTH belts would remain on Raw.

My only thought is that Punk will cash in his MITB

not sure who against, but cash it in and take it to SD...

...and probably loss it.

[AWA Staff]

I gotta say that I think Edge will cheat to win. Then again....

maybe they'll give Edge a clean win and Cena will have a title reign just as long as Jake Andrews!

Where the fuck is that guy anyways?



Anywho.... I don't think they'll have CM Punk cash it in yet. They might wait and see what kind of chemistry he has with some of the SD guys. See how he works with Taker, Christian, etc...

But, he'll wow the big brass (and Vince) and get to cash it in by Summerslam I'd bet...


I'dd love to see Punk vs Edge for the title....LOVE IT!

[MTMT]

So... official predictions, bitching, etc.

CM Punk vs. Kane
...is apparently on the card. Who knew? They're building Punk up for another title run- he'll have to win here.


Chris Jericho vs. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat
Should be a good match... because Steamboat still has it. It's been amazing watching him wrestle. But Jericho will win, as he should. I think they're going to make him a top heel on Smackdown- a defeat against a much older wrestler would not be good. Jericho for the win.


Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy- "I Quit" Match
If these two are given the time to have a good match, they'll have a good match. Their Wrestlemania match was around 13 minutes I believe... if they can get a solid 20-25, I think they could do some great shit. Now, the "I Quit" rules... well, neither of them are submission wrestlers, and neither are the type to give up. I really, really wish that they could have a title involved and make it a Ladder Match... but, I digress... I think Jeff will win. I think these rumors of him considering retirement are just that- rumors. And Matt's been victorious twice in a row... and it's a lot easier for a heel to say "I Quit" than a face.


ECW Title: Jack Swagger (c) vs. Christian
Christian. Christian, Christian, Christian. If he doesn't win, I'll be PISSED!


WWE Title: Triple H (c), Batista, and Shane O'Mac vs. Legacy
I've HATED how they've built this. Triple H, Batista, and Shane have animosity towards each other because they all want revenge on Orton? Seriously? I would buy it if the three of them hated each other beforehand... but they actually were friends. This is the dumbest reason for "tension" I have ever heard.


World Title: John Cena (c) vs. Edge; Last Man Standing
Sadly predictable- Edge will win. I highly doubt they would have Punk cash it in yet- they'll save that for Judgement Day in Chicago. But, yeah, Edge will win.

[theegomjw]

Vince is not at all interested in 'obvious' scenes playing out right now...just look what happened to Christian after his storyline with Edge/Jeff/Matt got sent around the net.

So Punk winning in Chicago could be too easy...and also Punk suggested it could happen in an interview...if it was going to happen, and Vince caught Punk actually saying so...he would pull it right away.

[Anthony Jordan]

My better half called it pretty well.

I'm thinking Edge will win, but Punk shouldn't cash in next month. Let Edge hold it for a while. I'm tired of seeing the titles change hands so frequently. The World Title went from Batista reigning for 8 days to Jericho for 3 weeks to Cena for 3 months to Edge for a month back to Cena. That's enough. The E Title went from Edge for a month to Hardy for a month to Edge for a month to HHH. 9 reigns in 12 months (6 months per each title) is absurd.

Though it is against my nature, I want HHH to retain for the same reasons. I'm hoping Batista will slide into a tweener role after Backlash and be resentful toward HHH, yet still hate Orton. Orton should be the next champ, but failing to win to further drive him into his obsessive lunacy. I think the June PPV would be appropriate, since that'd a make a year since he got hurt against HHH.

Obviously, I'm backing Captain Charisma to take the ECW Title, though I feel his talents are wasted on ECW. Maybe he'll get traded.

[Kevin Kash]

miz is supposed to face morrison in a darkmatch

[MTMT]

So I was 4/5... I forgot to predict the Legacy vs. HHH, Shane, and Batista, because I was so angry... but ultimately, I admit, I would have predicted HHH. So, 4/6.

I'm happy Kane won... it might be the next step in him finally winning the title (you know, for more than just one day). I think Kane and Punk could have a pretty intense feud...

Horay, Christian!! Now, they've been teasing something going on between Edge and Christian... I'm hoping it's a long-term plan. WWE has been really good at long-term angles lately- Jericho's heel turn and feud with HBK last year, the building of Legacy... this could be the start of something great. Edge vs. Christian for the World Title? I'd like that... Notice how Edge said, "I used to be fun, before John Cena"? That's actually kind of true. Now Cena is out of the way... and as much as I love Edge's current gimmic, I would LOVE for him to turn face and team back up with Christian- ala DX's reunion. That would totally reek of awesomeness!!

Matt vs. Jeff seemed to be decent, but again, not great... wasn't a big fan of how Matt "apologized"- seemed to be dumb, especially now that they're storyline kind of has to be finished (Matt's on RAW now).

Looks like a Cena vs. Big Show feud is in the cards... I like Show, but I don't think he and Cena will work well together. Big Show is only really good when his opponent is really good- it forces him to step up his game.

[theegomjw]

well the WWE suprised me with 3 World title changes in the 1 night.

well done to them.

i have not seen the show, but will do tonight.

i hear Steamboat was awesome, im so pleased for him, he must feel fantastic and totally deserves it.

i have also read a number of reviews saying that CHRISTIAN Vs SWAGGER was the match of the night? Amazing stuff, Swagger could be big in the future and C-man finally gets a good win and something to work with.

I have been a Big Show fan pretty much all the time, aside from when he really let himself go. But he SHOULD be a top guy and should have a world title reign...for his size he is actually pretty fucking amazing.

Also Kane got a win, he really needed it. Punk can swallow it and put it aside. Kane Vs Punk could be good.


Problem with the WWE now is they actually have TOO many guys that have run the mid cards and no need to be in the main events.

too many main eventers, not enough 'over' mid carders.


Kane
BigShow
HHH
Cena
Orton
Edge
Batista
Jericho
Christian
Punk


all deserve a title reign, anyone of those (aside from Punk in my view) dropping to the US/IC scene would be a step back.

I asay aside from Punk, because i truely enjoyed seeing him as IC champ and think he should have remained in the position, being called up to be part of main events when needed. But i think in the WWE, his calling is upper midcard.


Anyways...Orton, Edge and Christian, all at the top as champions of their own brands!!!

now thats fucking AWESOME

[AWA CEO: Mr. Timothy Draven]

I agree Lu....100% I do.

[Wife Beater]

You two always agree.

Suck each other off already!

[Kevin Kash]

its the power of LuMmy

bastards

[Anthony Jordan]

The titles changed hands again...I'm getting sick of it. It looks like Cena and HHH will be out for a while, so that clears up RAW's title picture a bit.

Christian winning was class.

[SLAM II]

i watched this ppv, but fucking zoned out, got my fuck on, and when i remembered i ordered it was the next day. my gf had to explain everything to me lol cause she did watch most of it.

[Anthony Jordan]

I'm in another reality most of the time, too, but I credit my active imagination, which I can trigger all on my own. It also leaves me with the side effect of having my 5 senses stay relatively sharp.

[SLAM II]

brillaint.
