No, I don't expect that! (Although it was nice to have her appear on RAW to show everyone how it's done).

I just expect at least some standard, that's all. And the Divas' acting is cringeworthy, there's no other way to describe it.

It's no wonder Beth Phoenix gets so much time with the belt.

Some possible ***spoilers about Legacy on Raw***

There is an inclination backstage that Joe Henning (Curt Henning's Son, Mr Perfect!) will be joining Legacy along with Orton and Rhodes. When Dibiase get's back after fully promoting The Marine 2, he will hopefully form a second stable with himself, Manu and Snuka Jr (Deuce). He will then attack Legacy and there will be a faction war ensuing. There is no 100% guarantee that this will happen but it is most likely the way things will pan out unless Vince throws a wobbly and doesn't want to go ahead with things.

Story, it all is.

It's just building up to Christian's return, either at RR or WM25.

utajoker · 18 Jan 2009 at 12:26

poor jeff, he is taking a beating in the build up to christians return, being in an explosion of fireworks now. i read that he has suffered some 1st and 2nd degree burns though

Robert1986 · 18 Jan 2009 at 12:30

Jeff has been a joke as WWE champ. It was cool seeing him finally winning it, but he will never have a long title run. I can see him losing the strap before mania. Small guys never get long wwe/world title runs.

utajoker · 18 Jan 2009 at 13:02

i think jeff needs to be in more tables or ladders matches were he can do the big moves he used to do. i remember him jumping of the top of the entrance and putting devon dudley through 4 tables at royal rumble 2000(i think), those were the days.

I hope not, it certainly makes a change to give it to him rather than Edge or HHH all the time.

I was pretty gutted when Punk dropped the WHC - I thought he was a brilliant champion, and a step in the right direction. Then they decided to give Jericho a run with the belt, which is fair enough. But he's just stale now and I hope with him getting "fired" he's going to take a decent break and come back fresh.

And where's the belt gone? Back to Cena. :rolleyes:

utajoker · 19 Jan 2009 at 08:34

im hoping that the edge and hardy fude comes to an end and we get an undertaker hardy fude going.

on a side note, matt hardy lost his ecw title to some guy, dont watch the show so dont know his name but he was unbeaten going into the match and still is.

Robert1986 · 19 Jan 2009 at 08:42

A hardy/taker feud would be good only if they can top the ladder match they had for the belt in 2002. That is still an amazing match to watch.

Any predictions as to who is going to win the rumble? I'm going to take a wild shot in the dark and say HBK will win it this year then face JBL for the title at mania. lol?

Jack Swagger. Bit of a gimp if you watch him wrestle but there's potential there. I think he'll do quite well with the belt, but also they should be careful not to let him get too big too soon.

Interesting one that. I think on RAW it was said that HBK would be in JBL's corner for the WHC fight, so he wouldn't participate in the RR. But I guess anything could happen tonight, and also HBK is quite a big name to leave out of the fight.

So i'm inclined to agree with you. My only other real "prediction" is that either Christian makes an appearance and wins it, or throws it for Edge so that he does. But from what i've seen he doesn't seem to like Edge much (attacking Hardy and pinning it on Edge/HHH).

I think the HBK/JBL feud has massive potential, possibly to be as good as the Edge/Undertaker one from 2008.

Robert1986 · 19 Jan 2009 at 12:04

The only way I can see HBK getting out of this story is him beating JBL for a title. I really can't see this feud ending any other way.

I am going to say HBK helps JBL win the belt at the Rumble and also competes in the rumble match and wins it.

jrodga2k5 · 19 Jan 2009 at 12:05

See I would REALLY like to see Chirstian win the RR but I suspect it wont happen is it would be all too similar to the surprise inclusion of Cena last year which caught everyone off guard and he won it!

I think he will have some part to play in an interference but I suspect it wont mean that Hardy will drop the title! There have been indications that at No Way Out he will be defending his title in the Elimination Chamber....

This then leads me back to thinking he will be in the Rumble after all.....I'm actually quite excited to see how it all turns out but I look forward to the return of the guy since he is really talented!

Got the oppurtunity to see him at TNA back in 2007 when I was over in Florida which was awesome!

I mean if this countdown began at the Rumble I will be going crazy no doubt

Robert1986 · 19 Jan 2009 at 12:08

There is no chance in hell that Christian will be winning the rumble. He just isn't big enough of a name.

Look Christian is back for one reason or another but he is certainly a much bigger name than he was when he left WWE!

He was a guy who really deserved a push and I felt sorry for him in many ways! He has a great verbal on the mic and can certainly talk the talk and bring the best out of storylines! When talking about in the ring he is certainly talented and the fact he has worked several matches in TNA with Angle/Sting/Joe etc he certainly could and should be wrestling at the top end of the card now! Though you could easily say big fish in a small pond or whatever but he had that strap for long periods over his time there.

I know he wont win the Rumble as he is going to be playing his part in a fued with Hardy which should culminate at the Rumble itself!

Though to suggest he isnt a big enough name IMO is quite wrong as I think we will see him get a World Title run at some point this year after his return as he certainly wont be fighting mid-card!

roid · 19 Jan 2009 at 12:23

Christian will definitely play a huge role in the championship fued. He will probably come back at the Royal Rumble but not actually enter the rumble itself.

My pick for the Rumble winner is Orton.

m0r94n · 19 Jan 2009 at 12:35

Edge vs Christian at Wrestlemania for the title would be unreal. Can't wait for the rumble next week, that and Wrestlemania are the two must watch ppv's for me and if Christian does come in and win it, that would be insane.

Thats my pick for the Rumble also, though WWE certainly arent doing what they usually do and play it out between two guys back and forth so it becomes painfully obvious who will win it, that is a good thing.

This is probably the Rumble I'm most looking forward to in the last few years as there seems to be a lot thats going to go down and surprise us!

I dont see a Smackdown! wrestler winning it this year but the main thing is I dont want to see Triple H win the rumble...as much as I like the the guy and stuff he gets way too much exposure sometimes! I'm happy to see guys like Hardy get a title run and also guys like Jericho.....

Speaking of Jericho he could easily be a Rumble entrant and then win it since he has been "fired" as part of a storyline! Will be interesting to see Vince at Raw tonyte!

Cant stand Stephanie McMahon we totally need Shane back on TV every week where he belongs!

I would love to see this JBL HBK storyline finish off also though because it is terrible, really terrible!

Would love it myself mate, I can see Hardy vs Christian at WM this year however as I cant see them wanting to drop the belt off him anytime soon despite how this storyline seems to be panning out at present, it would seem to obvious that the odds are stacked against him! I mentioned previously there are also statements for No Way Out where Hardy will defend his title against in an Elimination Chamber match!

The departure of Christian Cage was the worst kept secret in wrestling, and Carter says she’s sorry to lose the services of the Canadian.

“I’m very disappointed. I like him as a person as well as a talent. It’s interesting, he was the first big name to jump ship to us and he’s been the first to jump back. I wish him all the best.

At least Dixie Carter has confirmed his return at least
