Here me out on this, and please, forgive me if anything of this nature is posted elsewhere.
So im sitting here thinking about Wrestlemania this year, and I had a few ideas.
Reading various posts on here, and through the wrestlezone news articles, lets start off with a couple known facts.
Fact 1. Edge holds the automatic title shot against the champion of his choosing
Fact 2. HBK has to "find another way" to attract the Undertaker for a match at Wrestlemania
Fact 3. Bret Hart can NOT take any sort of physical abuse to his body. (I think last Monday proved that to anyone that had any sort of desire to see Bret vs. McMahon this year)
Semi-Fact 1. It seems to be making the rounds that Sheamus will square off against Triple H. Politics and everything that Ive read are the reasons I think this is the case.
So my thoughts? Well, lets see if anyone agrees, and hey, maybe we can make a better card than the guys that get paid to do it can
Anyway. lets start off with Fact 1 because it seems to tie into Fact 2 slightly.
We all saw Edge "fire the first salvo" this past Monday by ending his segment with Sheamus with a spear. Do I think that has any ramifications to a title match for Edge with the RAW Champion? Not at all. Here is the scenario I see playing out. Bare with me, as some might find this a bit over the top, but here goes. Look for Chris Jericho to walk away from the Elimination Chamber as Worlds Heavyweight Champion. Why? (this is where Fact 2 comes into play) some how, "some way" HBK screws the Deadman out of the title. We've seen some heelish features from HBK at the Royal Rumble, and a schoolboy loss to Orton on RAW. He's certainly not himself, and perhaps this is the only way to get the Undertaker to agree to the rematch. Its clear HBK doesnt want the title, so much as he wants the Undertakers streak.
Anyway, if the WWE could come up with a scenario that had HBK interfere in the Elimination Chamber match at the Undertakers expense, and Jericho winds up the Champion as I am stating, I think this makes Edge's decision, rather obvious.
Rather obvious for two reasons. Why build HBK v Taker 2 if it doesnt happen. IF it does happen, why would it be for the title? HBK is a RAW guy, not a smackdown guy, theres no logic in HBK somehow landing the title match with the undertaker, if he came out of the Elimination Chamber as the champ.
The other reason, if I was to take a quick poll of the people on here, I bet that in a landslide, the vote would be in favour of an Edge/Jericho match rather than Edge/Sheamus. Obviously for storyline purposes Jericho is a better fit, but even just match quality also. So there is a couple matches so far I would make, and story lines leading into them.
Now, my other little tidbit. Its OBVIOUS to anyone who isnt either an over the top Hitman mark, or has lived under a rock for the last month, that Bret Hart cannot hold his own in a match. I was a little disheartened watching Batista hit him with "punishing body shots" because it seems to me Bret cant even take a faux punch to the face, much less a bigger bump. So what do I see for Bret at Mania? Likely in the corner of John Cena.
John Cena seems to be the guy to stand up for the Hitman, and since we've seen Batista align himself with McMahon, I would not be surprised to see Batista vs. Cena with McMahon in Batistas corner, and Bret in Cena's. Of course the match ends with McMahon in the sharpshooter in some fashion, which will garner the huge pop and end the 1997 screwjob and I think thats how it has to be, theres no way we can believe any sort of story in the ring with Bret and McMahon alone, the crowd wouldnt buy it, nor would anyone watching at home. I dont think Bret serves purpose as a ref, because his beef is with McMahon, and certainly Vince aint gonna wrestle anyone at the PPV anyway. Its unfortunate Bret had the stroke and such, and I do think this is the only way to let the Hitman go out with credibility.
Anyway, those were a couple wrestelemania ideas, once again I apologize if this in some facet is written elsewhere.
