[spoiler]Seems like Big Show's boxing training while away from the WWE made him some new friends[/spoiler]

Yay Triple H!

Can't say I'm unhappy with the results of No Way Out. Hopefully another reign for Taker is in the cards. With Edge getting the upper hand so far, screwing him out of the title on more than one occasion, it seems likely the next step in the angle will be to have Taker go over, particularly as it's Wrestlemania.

[Lean]

Both Chamber matches results came out as predicted. Triple H and Undertaker FTW.

Would like to see the Big Show promo though.

Big show at No Way Out 08.

The WWE Championship match has became Triple Threat. Cena, Triple H and the Orton. Can they just take Cena out of the picture?

[Andrew]

You'd think so. They don't seem to know how to book him out of the title picture for any length of time.

[Lean]

I just have this feeling that Cena may snatch the title again and have another invincible reign with five-knuckle shuffles and flying bulldogs.

[Andrew]

I'm still inclined to pick HHH at this point, though it wouldn't surprise me completely if they went with Cena again.

[Chino]

I heard that Cena always hang around with Vince at backstage and he recieved some backstage heat because of it. Maybe this is the reason why Cena is always in the Title Picture?



Anyone know Colin Delaney?

[Andrew]

I read that too. Vince remains pretty high on him.

YEAH!

You know, the more I think about, the more it seems Cena will get another reign at Wrestlemania and then probably feud with HHH. That could work, but with HHH so over as a face and Cena being booed by the older fans, he should be the one to turn heel.

I know it's not a popular opinion, but I think Cena is passable as a worker. Put him in there with HBK, HHH, Orton or one of the other top guys and he can have a good match. As long as he's over (one way or the other), working good matches (regardless of who's carrying whom) and selling tickets, he's doing what one of the top people in the company should be doing.

That's why turning him heel could work. A lot of people want to boo him anyway and his face character has grown stale, in part because people generally don't seem to go for dominant faces unless the booking is particularly clever but mainly because he's not "edgy" enough anymore. Cut the salutes, stop trying to play to the crowd and have him go back to the "Doctor of Thuganomics" type persona. And if the crowd gets back on his side, at least it won't be forced.

They probably won't do that though because of the merchandise he moves to younger fans and let's face it, they're an important demographic as well. He needs a longer stretch as an entertaining underdog who's still around the top of the card, without title shots or title reigns, to win over the older audience though.

[Lean]

Yeah, those days when Cena still do some freestyle raps are better than the invincible five-knuckle shuffle and flying shoulder blocks that he is now.

HHH and Cena were the last two superstars remaining in the recent Royal Rumble match, everytime Triple H strikes, the crowd goes "YAY!" ; but when Cena strikes, they go "BOOO!"

So it's like "BOO!" "YAY!" "BOO!" YAY!" like the WHC match of 'Taker and Batista in 'Mania 23.

[Andrew]

That's why turning Cena heel could work, much like Hogan joining the nWo back in the day when the fans started to turn on his original All-American persona in WCW. If it comes to the point where the crowd at large wants to cheer him, as with Hogan, The Rock and Stone Cold in the past, they could turn him face again. I have a feeling they'll try and force the reaction though as they've been doing for the better part of the last couple of years.

Just looked at wwe.com, I saw that Hornswoggle was not the illegitimate son of Mr. McMahon. Hornswoggle's real father was Finlay. I wonder if they will still go with Mr. Kennedy as the illegitmate son.


Also, HBK will fight Ric Flair on Wrestlemania.

Spoiler tags? When it is when you need them . Hmmm i must say HBK versus Ric Flair might hard to decide who to win. About the Raw vs Smackdown match in wrestlemania, i would like to see a Umaga vs The Great Khali . Hmmm i also just realized that Batista is not in the Title Picture, i think it should also be a triple threat match for the WHC title

[Lean]

It is fitting to retire Ric on Wrestlemania. One of the hints is that Ric will be inducted into this year's Hall of Fame. I saw this the HBK - Flair match coming.

I just edited my post and did the spoiler tags. Sorry about spoiling it to you.

Edit: I can't do the spoiler tags anymore because you qoute it.

Well Batista might not be added to the match because we'll gonna know who's streak will end on Wrestlemania. But I saw in some wrestling site that Batista might represent Smackdown to take on Raw's Umaga.

[J@3]

I think he meant it was a spoiler because some of us don't get RAW until a day after it airs in the US, so we'd avoid WWE.com and such.

John Cena talks like Foghorn Leghorn, it's bothering me.

Yeah my bad. I just edited my post and did the spoiler tags.

Edit: Nah, Even though I do spoiler tags, +deidei+ already qoute what I posted so there's no use.

[Andrew]

I've read that it's possible that HBK won't necessarily retire Flair though I think the angle would lose all its impact if it doesn't go down that way. Wrestling being wrestling, they could always find a way to have one final match for Flair. Alternatively, they could have Flair win and have his moment, but voluntarily retire. After all, HBK doesn't exactly need to be put over so that scenario wouldn't hurt either man's legacy.

I really hope that Kennedy isn't revealed to be McMahon's son after all. I still don't see him as a main event wrestler to begin with but if they're going to push him, it can be done without illegitimate son angle.

[Lean]

Anyone see a Finlay vs. McMahon match for Wrestlemania? The storyline could lead there if Hornswoggle is "proven" not to be "a McMahon."

John Cena talks like Foghorn Leghorn, it's bothering me.

[Andrew]

Seems like that will be the case, or perhaps Finlay/JBL.
