I think the angle is to build friction between Edge and Show anyway - there was all that stuff with VG and the affair and it was never really explored.

I can't say i'm bothered that they decided to scrap it... interesting to see who they go with though, maybe as it's Unified they could have Orton drop his belt and take up Y2J's offer? Would make for an interesting angle with Legacy.

No. Thats just not going to happen. Orton isn't about to drop from the main event to the tag division.

Best part about Raw last night....

The Return of the "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters.

Honestly I absolutely loved him in his first WWE stint and he is looking in great shape again, hopefully they make some good use of him as he is a talented guy and he gets himself a lot of heat, a great heel

Oh, and while we are on this subject ... that HHH promo about "going after the tail" seems to imply that he's done with Orton and will feud with Ted + Cody ... so he'll need a partner (I assume they'll feud at SummerSlam as well) ... re-enter HBK and DX?

I have't got SKY, is TNA generally seen as a rubbish WWE? I've watched it a bit and there are some decent wrestlers but most have had their day in WWE. Reminds me of when WCW was on channel5 and it went a bit rubbish.

What's the deal with 'Taker and HBK these days?

Been gone since April haven't they?

HBK might be back for SS, Taker maybe in Sept

Nothing confirmed, but HBK is in the SS adverts

Tute · 28 Jul 2009 at 22:00

Excellent, missed them both.

Even now the match at WM still gives me shivers, can't see that being beat for match of the year.

decmatt · 28 Jul 2009 at 22:29

Need hem both back, thought Raw was really poor, wish they would drop hornswaggle and chavo, really hope triple h is dont fueding with orton, as its dragging on now.

I'm watching this week's Raw as we speak and having already read the results i.e. it's Cena v Orton at Summerslam that looks odds on, would make sense to do a simple Handicap Match (Legacy v Triple H) but as it looks like SS will be HBK's return it's a good angle to get him back involved in things

Same but I feel that boat has sailed so to speak, I cant imagine him making it as a main eventer now not after all the suspensions/sackings

If he does it'll take a good few years of proving himself reliable and in that time I can easily see creative running out of ideas for him and releasing him again

Back in 2006 though when him and Carlito were up and coming heels was great, especially in that Elimination Chamber match where they outlasted HBK, Kane and Kurt Angle.

Oh well

Tom84 · 5 Aug 2009 at 09:11

Just read the Smackdown results for this week and WOAH what a great looking match for the World Title has been made for Summerslam :eek:

I know that was the end for both of those guys in all honesty....

I thought to myself, my god Cena is going to lose the title here.....

However he won

Then lost

That was the best MitB cash in tbh!

I've been away all week, so only just watched my recording of RAW from Monday ... and I just have two words for ya

Can't wait for next week / SS

dante6491 · 7 Aug 2009 at 16:36

Supposedly there were some rumours going about about WWE hiring Brock Lesnar again on a contract akin to Booby Lashley's in TNA, whereby they give him appropriate time off to train and perform in MMA matches, worth $40m :rolleyes:

. Jim Ross downplayed that on his blog though. I think it would be a pretty good deal for both because he is such a huge pull at the moment and would give challenge to Batista strength wise.

rypt · 8 Aug 2009 at 12:52

Don't think Lesnar wants to go back to WWE, though enough money might tempt him.
Not sure WWE can afford 40m either

Tute · 8 Aug 2009 at 18:49

Just watching the Number 1 Contender competition back and i've noticed something.

Evan Bourne pinned Swagger with over three minutes left on the clock, yet Cena pinned Miz with just over two minutes twenty left.

Why isn't Bourne going to Summerslam as number one contender?

It's this kind of crap that totally ruins the WWE. It's a "beat the clock" challenge - and Bourne "beat the clock", so he should win. :rolleyes:

The beat the clock was only for Swagger, Henry, Trips and Cena. Their opponents winning just meant none of them would even have the possibility of going to SS

I quite like the Show/Y2J team at the moment, they seem to work well. Whoever chopped their music together needs to be shot. It was an interesting idea, but really doesn't work!

Spoiler time now (SD 7th):

Hardy boyz possible reunion? Or with that chair attack on Jeff's neck, is that them writing him out of the championship race since he didn't sign the new contract, as mentioned a few pages back?

Also, from Raw, HHH obviously hinting at a DX return, HBK turning him down? What now?

DX will definitely be back ... we think.
The way I read it going is like this ...

Legacy beat on Trips and mock him at the next 2 RAWs until SS - saying how he can't find a partner, etc (similar to Jericho's search).
We see HHH making calls to HBK every RAW, and getting no positive reply.
So come SS we have HHH + mystery partner vs Legacy
HHHs music plays, but he doesn't come out.
His music hits again and he finally comes out alone, looking unhappy (as he has no partner)
Half way though him coming down the ramp - his music cuts off and DX music hits, and out runs HBK.

This is ONE take on it, the second take on it is this:
HHH didn't actually call HBK, he called Eugene.
Eugene and HHH team up until SS, but at SS HBK shows up, sweet chins Eugene and partners HHH.
