I see, so Undertaker will be moving to Raw and HBK won't be appearing on SD at all now, even though DX are unified champions.

[TheTimVilla]

Why will Undertaker move to Raw? He didn't for last year's WM.

[Guy M]

Taker's going nowhere. If they do want him and HBK to face at Mania, they'll be kept well away from each other apart from PPVs. Easily done.

I thought they'd go with Cena - Taker at WM this year, but would be SO disappointed if they didn't allow Taker to retire undefeated in his Mania appearances. It sounds childish (no more to some than almost all of this thread I suspect) but for the loyalty he showed in the bad times, his commitment to the character and just because it's such a cool angle to have kept going on this long, he really ought to be given that most unique of accolades.

As far as Bret goes, I'd like to see him screw HBK (not literally) for one of the tag title belts, dropping them to Hart Dynasty. I loved the period when Bret turned heel on the US crowd with Pillman, Owen, Bulldog and Neidhart. They wouldn't need to take things that far, but Hart Dynasty could really benefit from being associated with Bret.

Edge - Jericho feud has been a shoe-in since the former got injured and they had Y2J bad-mouth him. I think Jeri-Show have been BRILLIANT but would be interesting to know what the original plan for E&J was. Can't see Edge staying face long tho. He's just too good at being bad.

[TheTimVilla]

I agree about Undertaker and I don't think he'll lose his streak. But they've got to put him up against the biggest names at WM, otherwise what's the point?

Edge is one of those wrestlers who are just brilliant at being heel or face (along with Jericho, HBK, Kane, Big Show, Undertaker, etc) so I'd be happy for a face E'n'C.

NOW you're talking. As long as we see a return of the kazoo. Long live the 'zoo!. Shame we wouldn't get to see their version of fellow Canadian Chris Benoit's entrance music again tho.

Actually E&C versus Jeri-Show would make a pretty interesting feud if done right. Could watch those 4 guys for HOURS. In and out of the ring.

[bobcat]

Cena-Rock is still being talked about for WM.

DiBiase turning face still has to happen, possbly setting up a match with orton.

Bret is back for 3 months starting on Jan 4th. the Harts will get a good rub out of the fued.

I can't see Taker-HBK happening 2 years in a row so I think there is a swerve coming there. I could see Taker-Vince happening.

[greenwichvilla]

The Slammy Awards was the worst Raw in a while (haven't seen this week's yet) Raw's generally been pretty tripe this year, but that took the piss.

I reckon there was only about 25-30 minutes of wrestling in the whole three hour show, Dennis Miller was poor, he even managed to get HHH's name wrong, introducing him as 'The Show'

Whereas I quite like the guest host idea, it's distracting too much from storyline advancement, it'll be interesting to see how they mix this in in the run up to Wrestlemania.

The Rock won't wrestle again until/if his acting career goes down the toilet. How about a heel Cena against Taker?

If DiBiase isn't face by now then I can't see it happening. His film is already long out. Keep Legacy going, maybe add to it as Raw is top heavy with faces.

I don't want Vinny Mac at yet another WM. Please.

MASSIVE night tonight in terms of the future of TNA and WWE.

I for one can't bloody wait to see where they're going with Bret Hart. I assumed he'd be kept well apart from HBK but the teasers on last week's RAW would appear to suggest otherwise.

Maybe, unbeknownst to us all, HBK has actually already spoken to Hart and apologised, buried the hatchet and is now ready to do the job.

Either that or Hart's going to no-show at the last minute and turn up on TNA as his final F.U at Vince. But if that were likely, I'd expect something to have appeared on one of the rumour sites by now.

[TheTimVilla]

Hart's signed a contract, the Hart Dynasty have been moved from SD to Raw. It's on! The Monday Night Wars are back!

HBK and Hart will have to be professionals and I'm sure they both are, and will work the angle. If Hart had any problems (that VKM's money couldn't solve!) then he wouldn't have come back.

Mike Tyson is guest host next week.

[Guy M]

Will be interesting to see how crowd react to Hart if he is lined up against DX. HBK can do a great job of switching from face to heel in a programme, but Triple H's character doesn't allow that same fluidity.

I was hoping Bret Hart wouldn't just be GM this week but until Mania, but I guess that with Tyson and those two other guys having already been announced, we've got a few more weeks of guest hosts yet.

[greenwichvilla]

I can't wait, I've not been so excited about wrestling in years.

I'm gonna make a point of watching iMPACT! too to see Hulk, when's it on? Saturday on Virgin 1?

Bret Hart is my all time favorite wrestler, I can't wait for this.

[TheTimVilla]

TNA is on Bravo2 (channel 153 on Sky).

[Guy M]

It was on Virgin1 briefly for a 5 week stint in the autumn apparently, but otherwise it's on Bravo 2.

Flair's being rumoured to be in Orlando. God, I hope so. Will make it so much easier on me to want TNA to fail with that no-good old bum there. After all Vince did to give him the send-off his sucky-ass 80s WCW career never even deserved.

Shame. I quite like J-e-double F *HA HA* J-a-double r-*HA HA*-double t... that's Double J and really respect what he's done and built from scratch. Would be a massive shame to see that destroyed by the greed and egos of the old timers.

[Hazz]

That was fucking awesome.

EDIT - Divas tournament. Oh god. Where's my booze...
