The official Mego Museum pro wrasslin' thread

[Chris DVM]

I think you are mostly right on the money...except on a couple of things...in my humble opinion...I think the Undertaker's streak will remain...I think Michaels is the one who is retiring. Undertaker will be 18-0 in Wrestlemania.

As far as MITB...the last three standing will be Jack Swagger, Drew McIntyre, and Kofi Kingston...with Kofi Kingston surviving both heels...and winning MITB.

You forgot Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Ted DiBiase. The great Randy Orton will punish these two young punks...

Hey,
Not sure about Undertaker/HBK. Either way, one of them is retiring. I think HBK has some life left in him, so unless there is an injury or his family we don't know about, I really think it is Undertaker going. His last few years the matches have not been that good, and I think he knows it.
You could be right on MITB - they probably need to bring up the newer generation, and MVP does not fit the bill. However, I still think they want MVP to take out Miz, and this would be a great way to do it.
Orton/Rhodes/Dibiase - quite frankly, couldn't care less. Unfortunately, I am a face lover, so I have no love for any of them. It was the same way, at first, with Jericho and Edge. Then Edge just went on to become a really interesting bad face, if you know what I mean, and I look forward to him trying to destroy Jericho. However, Jericho is such a well hated SOB that always gets the crowd riled up, I think that he will take the match (serious controversy, of course), setting up the next few Pay Per Views to keep it going. Sort of like Cena and LBJ, which went on WAY WAY too long.
I agree that Cena is relatively predictable. However, I fall for it every time. I am not really that sophisticated when it comes to my fake violence - I like black and white good and bad guys. Yea, it is predictable, but if I am going to veg out with something, make it easy for me to get into. If I want intricate storylines, I'll watch a subtitled French film.

I really don't Know About Both Belts Changing ...., or Taker's Streak being tainted before he leaves the WWE ... The Dude's 17-0 at Wrestlemania ..., why would they take him out at 17-1 ...., I'd say they would let him Keep it at 18-0 ..., but perhaps thats the Twist ...

[jwyblejr]

That's exactly why I hate Cena...his wrestling persona...not his physical skills...the guy is indeed a powerhouse...pound-for-pound...the strongest wrestler in the WWE

However...like you said...it's the way he carries on...trying so hard to have the crowd on his side. Despite many in the crowd hating him, he still kissing up to the "WWE Universe"...plus his jokes are clearly straight from the book of wannabe the Rock 101. And when he goes all berserk, well, it rings false, he tries too hard to sound all baddass...but it just doesn't work with me.

You hit the nail on the head with Cena.

As for Batista...man...I'm liking him more and more as a heel...the guy is really starting to take off as a funny dude...lol.

On top of what's been said about him,another thing I didn't like about Cena was he could never sell a beating. This guy could have four guys jump him,beat the living daylights out of him and then bounce up like nothing happened.

Hey,
So I'm going to a friends house this Sunday to watch Wrestlemania. As long as we are on this topic, what will the outcomes be?
1) MVP takes Money in the bank.
2) Big Show/Miz loose the titles, then MVP comes in with MITB and strips Miz of his other title. I think Miz is due for a double beat down
3) HBK ends the streak
4) Related news-Undertaker retires (overdue by about 2 years, but still sorry to see him go)
5) Jericho keeps the title
6) Cena beats Batista, but McMahon steps in on Monday and the belt goes back to Batista
7) Hart beats McMahon, then goes away. This story has gone on too long
8) Triple H beats Shamus
9) Unsure on Rey/Punk. Really cannot take Rey tagging along after Punk, but they might to the HBK/JBL kind of story line for a couple of months. I think this would ruin Rey, personally
10) Who did I miss?
Chris DVM

I'm completely opposite on a few, but that makes it fun.

1) MVP for reasons no one knows is in the s-list. I think Kofi takes MTIB.
2) I see Big/Show miz retaining because Morrison is too good for tags. This match just give him something to do at Mania.
3)I'm torn on this one. While it makes sense for HBK to end the streak, "career threating maych" means nothing in wrestling. I expect it to come out like HBK should have won (maybe have Taker pinned while the ref is knocked out) but still comes up short leading to an HBK vacation.
4) I'll agree with Jericho retaining to set up a rematch at Backlash.
5)Superman Cena will beat probably beat Batista
6)Hart over McMahon
7)I actually think Sheamus has a chance and again I think we'll see a rematch at Backlash. Even if he loses I look for HHH to "make" Sheamus the way he did Batista with their match years ago.
8)I pick Punk because why even bother having the stip otherwise?
9)Randy Orton will take the 3-way because in the end they always make Rhodes and DiBiase look weak.

Taker wins GUARANTEED! (I'm open to bets) This one SHOULD be the main event.

Edge vs Jericho is a pitiful main event when you think back to the old days. Both are boring to watch.

Cena vs Batista is probably the biggest match they could put together today. I go with Cena ending the show, pretending he's Hulk Hogan.

Bret vs Vince won't be high-flying, but it'll entertain old school fans like myself reliving our childhood days of watching SNME.

The Legacy match will be Randy's chance to turn good guy again.

Triple H will make his protege look good, but ultimatley win.

WM just doesn't have the same excitement as it used to. This seems like just another PPV.

Jack Swaggart becomes Smackdown's Heavyweight champ!!!

I love the way how he won it...he first tried to cash his Money in the Bank clause with John Cena on Raw...but was unsuccessful. Then he tried it again on Smackdown...and he slammed an already injured Chris Jericho...and pinned him for the title...lol. I thought it was great...a new champion...new blood...

I like Swaggart...he's young...big and strong...and very athletic for a big man. The only thing that gets a bit on my nerves about him is his lisp...lol.



...and did you guys see Randy Orton owning both Batista and Swaggart on Raw?

He RKO'd both their arses...lol.

He teamed up with Cena...but it was Orton's night to shine.

The viper...the apex predator...is now a fan favorite...I gotta get used to this alien concept...

Anyone see the ladder match on TNA tonight, Angle & Mr. Anderson? It was short and not well worked by Anderson, but Angle took a nasty bump on the ladder early on. A normal person would've been crying for mommy & morphine.

[Hector]

Have not seen TNA Impact yet...it's recorded in my DVR.

[jwyblejr]

The return of The Million Dollar belt. Gotta love that.

[VintageMike]

I'm liking the new spin with Orton. Reminiscent of Stone Cold in the beginning: a bad *** would team with fan favorites but had no qualms about fighting them either. If done right it could be the hottest thing WWE's had in a while.

[BlackKnight]

It was short and not well worked by Anderson

Thats why the WWE Fired him right ?
He was screwing up in the ring repeatidly ...., perhaps there was reason.

[Duncan]

I remember he was suspended for a positive test, and he was injured all the time. I'm thinking he might be in the wrong line of work.

[Duncan]

Anyone else seeing orange wrestlers on Raw tonight? I'm thinking they're using a new fake tanning product, and it's not very good. Christian looked like a pumpkin; Morrison just looks jaundiced.

[Brown Bear]

Awesome to see Hart Dynasty win the tag belts. Yeah Bret!!
