Interesting idea I just came up with, who do you want to see feud in 2009 or who do you think will be feuding in 2009? Which wrestlers are going to be the Micheals/Jericho of 2009? Give reasons.
Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy: We saw flashes of this happen at the end of 01/beginning 02 but nothing more really transpired. The WWE hasn't had a real good brother verse brother feud in a while, not since Owen and Bret, and both Matt and Jeff could make for some exciting matches. These two have both finally climbed the WWE ladder, Matt through hard work and loyalty, and Jeff for just being ridiculously over with the crowd. This alone could be again the reason for the feud with Matt, who has busted his balls a million times harder than Jeff but has less to show for it. The window is still open for Matt to have been the culprit in the Jeff beating at Survivor Series and maybe they could play up how Matt was jealous of all the chances Jeff was getting and all the times he fucked up, only to be given a clean slate again. An intense bitter feud could start up between these two for the WWE title, but I think it could only work well if Jeff in the mean time legitimizes himself as a good and strong champion. I'd be down for any feuds in 09 that involved these two and E&C, but I chose these two cause theres is a feud that hasn't happened yet.
Punk vs Orton: These two have had matches already this year, but nothing developed into a real full on PPV feud yet. The WWE kinda held back the horses on The Legacy idea and that in turn prevented this feud from getting full on personal, which it should considering Punk never lost his title and hence was screwed out of it by Orton and Co. That should've made Punk's blood boil and I hope they pick this feud up again in 09, maybe when Orton is the champion and Punk is ready to be taken seriously as a main event contender. These two are two of my favourite wrestlers on RAW and I would love to see Punk take on The Legacy and Orton. It would be a good feud and would benefit all who would be apart of it, both for The Legacy members and for Punk and whoever he brings to the table.
Edge vs Kennedy: Rather than shipping Kennedy to RAW back in 07, what they should've done is left him on Smackdown to feud with Edge who stole the MITB case from Kennedy, that feud could've been gold. Of course, we all Edge would go on to get injured, so the feud still wouldn't have happened back then. Now Kennedy is kind of on alert status red and really needs a big time feud to get himself back in the picture. Edge, has been all over the title scene for the last few years when he hasn't been frequently injured (like Kennedy, ironically enough) and he could use a serious feud with someone more hungary and desperate for a title than the character he himself has been portraying for the last 4 years. Kennedy is exceptional on the mic and Edge is a gem in the ring, so perhaps they will be able to play off each others strengths. Get the ball rolling by bringing up the former MITB history, maybe even include both of them in the match if Edge isn't already in a title match, and let them roll with it. With so many titles in the WWE, the WWE needs more feuds like Micheals/Jericho that aren't about any titles, just personal grudges. Kennedy and Edge could do that.
So who does everyone else think will be feuding in the new year. Start looking in your crystal balls............. now!
