| Quote: | | Have you heard the latest rumor (written by a blogger) that Eddie Guerrero could still be alive? He believes his death is a big ruse, a storyline to give all the internet smartmarks the middle finger. Eddie would get back at Wrestlemania announcing "I lied" - which would certainly be a big shock to everybody. The author of that rumor made quite a few good points on why you could believe this (Eddie's book being called "Cheating Death" being amongst them). I don't think it's true, it would be too huge to pull off, but an interesting thought nonetheless. |
I bet many people think Eddie is still alive. I'm pretty sure he is dead (BUT I don't recall hearing about funeral arrangements or anything). Usually when a wrestler dies, on wrestling sites they list when a funeral will be and all that. If Eddie is indeed still alive, this will be a big thing that fans will certainly hate. I will be truely sickened by WWE (even more than I am now, by the whole Eddie exploitation), if Eddie is still alive.
In case people missed it, Stacy Keibler and her partner took 3rd place in the "Dancing with the Stars" finale. Jerry Rice and his partner came in 2nd, while Drew Lachey and his partner won it.
The big Raw/Smackdown super show is tonight in Washington, D.C. As posted by myself earlier, a huge announcement by Vince is expected (which might not air on TV though). Also on Raw tonight, Marty Jannetty will be a full time part of the Raw roster if he joins Vince's club. I'm sure most of you know which club that is. Women's champ Trish Stratus defends her title against Candice Michelle, and Mick Foley might respond to Edge's challenge for a match at Wrestlemania.
In other news, as expected Sting isn't done with TNA. As of now, the plan is for Sting to feud with Jeff Jarrett. _________________ http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Main_Page

Washington was crazy yesterday. They booed Cena out of the building and cheered for Triple H. What a reversal of their supposed roles again. I really can't understand why Cena has to be champ, he is done. You should give him some off-time and let him recover. Right now WWE is destroying one of their younger stars, killing his gimmick, killing his character, killing his interest in the sport. John definitely wants to give his best, he tries to be the face champ he should be, but with the crowd not accepting him, he's going to get fed up with it pretty soon. Please, even if it means another title run for HHH, let him lose the title at Wrestlemania.
Other than that I found the ending segment of RAW pretty good. Vince and his string, that was funny. It's also nice to see Shane O'Mac again, he's very good despite not wrestling full-time. Shawn Michaels and him will wrestle a great match for sure when they clash. _________________ I will not warm myself by the fire - I will become the flame. |

Shane McMahon vs Shawn Michaels won't be so good. Shane is basically known for his bumps and spot fest matches. I'm a bit tired of that. Couldn't WWE think of something better for Shawn at Saturday Night's Main Event? In my opinion, when McMahons are involved, it usually means a horrible match.
Speaking of a horrible match, that's what Flair will have at Wrestlemania. Money in the bank ladder match is fine and all, if Flair wasn't in it. Flair is too old to do high spots and big moves like that. WWE better not have Flair do a ton in the match, otherwise he will be seriously hurt. I somehow think the match will have Carlito and Chris Masters in it as well. A 3 man ladder match doesn't seem like the end of it. _________________ http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Main_Page

I don't agree with your opinion concerning Shane McMahon. While he may not be the best wrestler, he is capable of working a good match. Certainly he is in the league of a lot of other midcard WWE workers and therefore it's neither a fault, nor a shame to put him in a match with Shawn Michaels at Saturday Night's Main Event.
Vince wrestling Shawn at Wrestlemania, that's a bad decision. But I would be amazed if Vince really steps into the ring alone, I'm pretty sure he will hire some backup and help. Maybe he even tries to "injure" Shawn before the match so he doesn't have to wrestle at all. _________________ I will not warm myself by the fire - I will become the flame. |

I'm sure Vince vs Shawn will be full of run-ins. Marty Jannetty, Shane McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Hulk Hogan and more I bet. Hogan is scheduled for the hall of fame, to present for Gene Okerlund. So he will be at Wrestlemania as well I bet.
I certainly hope this is the last Wrestlemania match for Vince (and all other McMahons). I would rather see normal wrestlers in matches, rather than owners or relatives of owners.
In TNA news, Destination X's card is almost complete:
-NWA world champ Christian Cage vs Monty Brown
-Jeff Jarrett, Abyss and America's Most Wanted vs Ron Killings, Rhino and Team 3-D
-X champ Samoa Joe vs AJ Styles vs Christopher Daniels (Ultimate X)
-Latin American Exchange vs James Gang and Bob Armstrong
I'm betting Ultimate X will steal the show, and be the best match on the card. I assume there will be 1 or 2 more matches added to the card. _________________ http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Main_Page

You're right, Ultimate X will be the best match of the evening, no doubt about that. There are three of the best wrestlers of today in that match, so there's no way it could flop. I'm really looking forward to that one, as a definition of excellent wrestling.
I also find the title match appealing, Christian is a great performer and Monty has developed very well. _________________ I will not warm myself by the fire - I will become the flame. |

The main event could be good, but Christian isn't main event worthy in my opinion. He is great and all, but I don't think he belongs in the main event.
In other TNA news, Jeff Hardy+Sean Waltman are probably not going to return to the promotion. Waltman has signed with the MTV wrestling promotion it looks like. Hardy has personal problems, like usual.
In WWE news, Stacy Keibler is still under contract with WWE. From what I know, she is going to leave WWE once the contract expires. She has said she wants to act and do other things.
WWE has bought the Florida wrestling tape library from Mike Graham for about 1 million dollars. The footage will be on upcoming DVD's probably. In the past, Graham said he would never sell that footage. _________________ http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Main_Page

Here is updated PPV cards:
TNA Destination X: next Sunday
-NWA world champ Christian Cage vs Monty Brown
-Jeff Jarrett, Abyss+America's Most Wanted vs Ron Killings, Rhino+Team 3-D
-X champ Samoa Joe vs AJ Styles vs Christopher Daniels (Ultimate X)
-James Gang+Bob Armstrong vs Latin American Exchange
-Lance Hoyt vs Matt Bentley
*Plus, Sting will be appearing at Destination X. Which will begin the Sting/Jeff Jarrett feud.
The card looks to be almost final. I bet one or two more matches will be added this week.
WWE Wrestlemania 22: 4 weeks away
*World champ Kurt Angle vs Randy Orton vs Rey Mysterio
*WWE champ John Cena vs Triple H
*Shawn Michaels vs Vince McMahon
*Edge vs Mick Foley (Hardcore match)
*Rob Van Dam vs Shelton Benjamin vs Ric Flair (Money in the Bank ladder match)
-Plus Smackdown wrestlers will be in the ladder match, the qualifiers for it happen this Friday on Smackdown.
*U.S champ Chris Benoit vs John Bradshaw Layfield
*World tag champs Big Show+Kane vs Chris Masters+Carlito
Possible matches are: Finlay vs Bobby Lashley, Booker T vs Boogey Man, women's title match, etc.
In other WWE news, Marty Jannetty most likely won't return again. WWE and Marty have cut all ties, because of Marty's backstage problems. Due to this, Shawn Michaels/Vince McMahon storyline will need to be changed around a little bit.
Hall of Fame 2006 now has 4 people going into it. Bret Hart, Eddie Guerrero, Gene Okerlund and Sensational Sherri. Steve Austin will be inducting Bret. Chris Benoit, Rey Mysterio+Chavo Guerrero will be inducting Eddie. Hulk Hogan will be inducting Gene Okerlund. Shawn Michaels will probably be inducting Sherri. _________________ http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Main_Page

Smackdown is tomorrow night, "Money in the Bank" qualifiers for Wrestlemania will be taking place, plus more matches will take place as well. I didn't read what happened, so I can't really give much more of a preview for it.
In case people didn't know, Taboo Tuesday (a Raw PPV) is becoming Cyber Sunday starting this year. I guess WWE wanted all Sunday PPV's again or something.
In other wrestling news, another legends PPV recently took place. I believe it's either on PPV now, or should be soon. From the reviews of it, it seems alot better than the last legends PPV. Heroes of Wrestling in 1999 was just horrible. This new legends PPV is called "World Wrestling Legends". It features many ex-WWE and WCW stars. Jake Roberts, Kamala, Rick Steiner, Dallas Page, Jim Duggan, Scott Steiner, Buff Bagwell, Vampiro and others. _________________ http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Main_Page

TNA Destination X just took place. Here is the full results:
Spoilers...
Alex Shelley beat Jay Lethal, Lance Hoyt beat Maverick Matt (Matt Bentley), Team Canada beat The Naturals, James Gang+Bob Armstrong beat Latin American Exchange, Chris Sabin beat Petey Williams+Sonjay Dutt+Puma in a 4-way "International X" match, Jeff Jarrett+Abyss+America's Most Wanted beat Ron Killings+Rhino+Team 3-D, Christopher Daniels beat X champ Samoa Joe+AJ Syles in a 3-way Ultimate X match to win the title, NWA world champ Christian Cage beat Monty Brown.
I didn't see the PPV myself, but I heard Ultimate X wasn't that great compared to the previous ones. Also, the mystery person that Jeff Jarrett "called" was Scott Steiner. Scott appeared at the end, and attacked Sting, saving JJ from the scorpion deathlock. _________________ http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Main_Page

No one has qualified yet. There is 3 open Smackdown spots for Money in the Bank still.
In other WWE news, they have re-signed Chuck Palumbo and Shannon Moore. Moore never had a TNA contract, so WWE easily signed him with no problems at all.
Don't forget, Saturday Night's Main Event returns to NBC this Saturday. It seems like a pretty good lineup so far:
-John Cena+Triple H vs Kurt Angle, Rey Mysterio+Randy Orton (Raw vs Smackdown: a battle of the Wrestlemania main events from each brand)
-Shawn Michaels vs Shane McMahon (street fight)
-Steve Austin vs JBL (beer drinking contest)
-Booker T vs Boogey Man
-Trish Stratus+Mickie James vs Victoria+Candice Michelle
-The Cutting Edge (Edge's interview segment) with special guest: Mick Foley
*Plus Jim Ross returns to WWE TV to do the announcing for the show. _________________ http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Main_Page

Orton cannot qualify since he is already in the Wrestlemania Main event. I don't think it would be right to have someone wrestle 2 matches in one night, especially if it's matches this big.
As far as Hardy is concerned, I agree with you, he would probably make an ideal candidate for the money in the bank ladder match since he has had many classic ladder matches when he tagged with his brother Jeff, and several times against Edge (both in tag and singles action). They should make his match with Road Warrior Animal this Friday on Smackdown a qualifying match for this. (I didn't read the Smackdown spoiler so I don't know what actually happened)
But as far as the actual match is concerned though, apparently one of the qualifying spots is going to be determined on Smackdown. Finlay and Lashley is going to go through a lumberjack match since their qualifier last week never got underway because of their little melee.
If it's going to be Hardy, and most likely Lashley, who will make up the Smackdown side of that match, that will still leave one spot. I don't know who else in the current roster may be good for this match (perhaps Booker T, but I wouldn't count on it). _________________ [img:5f924247e9]http://obecorp.com.ru/banner.gif[/img:5f924247e9] |

I'm guessing they might put Chuck Palumbo back in Smackdown, since the Smackdown roster looks a little thin. They'd possibly put him in with Nunzio and Vito to resurrect the FBI (Full Blooded Italians). Just as long as they don't do anything like they did with him and Billy Gunn, it is a good signing.
The news about Shannon Moore re-signing is news to me though. I would've thought that he was a legitimate TNA Superstar. Guess not. Personally, I thought he might've had something going on there in TNA, and would kind of puzzle me as to why he may leave.
In other signing news, Mike Mizanin (aka the Miz, and formerly of reality TV fame) is supposed to make his debut on Smackdown soon after training in OVW and Deep South Wrestling. He placed second in last year's Tough Enough. Personally, I don't like reality shows and people who do them, but I'm kinda curious to see how they are gonna use this kid, and what kind of talent he has. _________________ [img:5f924247e9]http://obecorp.com.ru/banner.gif[/img:5f924247e9] |

Saturday Night's Main Event does look like a pretty good card so far. And with them bringing Jim Ross back for that night, it would probably sound interesting. Here are a few of my thoughts about it.
Believe it or not, I'm looking forward to the Cutting Edge segment with Mick Foley. I think Edge's interview segments are pretty entertaining. This should undoubtedly stir up the pot and even make things even more interesting heading towards their match in Wrestlemania.
Edge and Foley in Wrestlemania should be a pretty good match, even though the winner should already be pretty obvious (probably Edge). Whenever Foley is involved in a hardcore match, it is usually pretty good, and it really says a lot with how much the WWE thinks highly about Edge. Just ask Triple H, and Randy Orton how their careers have been after facing Foley in a hardcore match.
The beer drinking contest should be interesting too. Something will probably happen, and I think Benoit will probably be involved in this some way or another to build up his feud with JBL.
The HBK and Shane McMahon match should be entertaining to watch. Shane isn't in the level as most of the Superstars in the roster, but he usually puts on a great show whenever he's out there. With the exception of the "piss-off segment" HBK has been getting the short-end the past couple of weeks when it comes to the McMahons, so he probably will get some retribution in this match.
As far as the Main Event vs Main Event match goes, I don't really know what to think. It should be entertaining to see where they are going to go with that match, since both teams shouldn't be cohesive units. They should make it so that the winner of this match would be the last match of Wrestlemania.
As far as the other matches and segments of SNME, they don't really interest me as of yet. _________________ [img:5f924247e9]http://obecorp.com.ru/banner.gif[/img:5f924247e9] |
