One Night Stand: Shawn Michaels vs. Batista

[A.J.]

Stretcher Match
Shawn Michaels vs Batista ​

This should be a entertaining match to watch. Though it makes me wonder if Jericho will get involved if he dont have anything going on at ONS. We know Shawn will pull some crazy spot to make Dave look good and get teh crowd going so that should be a big plus. Though after what I saw at Judgment Day, I would have love to see Jericho vs HBK in a gimmick match as who knows what they could have done. I do see HBK winning this one with Jericho maybe costing Big Dave the match. Should be entertaining, but I Doubt this feud ends at ONS>

Sadly, I'd rather they added Chris Jericho to the mix and it became a Triple Threat Stretcher match. That'd be completely messed up, but everything points to all three being great for a 3-way, as they all dislike each other. I'm hoping this will happen come Monday.

If it remains Batista v. Shawn Michaels, would they truly drop Batista to H.B.K. again? Noone serves to win from this match. Batista would get a victory over Shawn Michaels, which would give him something to be greatful for.. but that victory won't make him any better, it'll just be another random match he fell into winning.

Meanwhile, the fact that W.W.E. is now randomly throwing gimmicks at wrestlers like darts is insane. Shawn Michaels in a stretcher match?! Come on, thats ******ed and completely stupid. Its never been done, so its remotely interesting, but the overall value of the gimmick is a hospital stretcher that is ineffective until you have to lay your opponent on it, and push it (w/ them) across a yellow line.

All in all, if this remains a single's match and Jericho gets involved still, its going to continue with the ******ed nature of the creative team to not just do the right thing and add Jericho. This could be the male version of a great Triple Threat.

I don't think that this match will become a triple threat, but I don't think it will because that would be slightly confusing. In the sense that you would have to get both men down and pretty much incapacitated (kayfabe I would assume ), then put one on a stretcher doesn't seem possible.

I think that Y2J will probably interfere against Batista, but I don't see HBK winning 4 ppv's in a row, 2 of those times squashing the same person. Taking out 'naitch', and rolling up Jericho for the win. Even HBK wouldn't be given that.

I am pretty stuck on who will win this, as HBK just doesn't seem to be the kind that can lay down on his back. Neither does Batista. There will have to be a Y2J interference for this match to end. I am thinking Batista win though. That is my early opinion.

Rep to anyone that can actually figure out the storyline here, because this is starting to make TNA make sense. I didn't see Raw this week, but from what I can tell Batista and Jericho both want Michaels because he faked an injury? This feud/feuds have just gotten confusing as I'm not even sure they knew what the story was supposed to be in the first place. Should be an interesting match nonetheless, but I agree Jericho would have been a great addition here.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

This must be WWE's new favorite stipulation. You go four years without seeing one, then you have three in just over a year. They're always entertaining, but the problem is that the finish is always the same. There's no real way you can mix it up. It takes away from the drama of the match.

I see the story being that Batista is a piece of wood, and HBK is just too skinny to move it. Or something like that.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

I can definately see Jericho becoming involved in the finish. Personally I find this all to be highly silly, as it makes no sense to have this stip in this match. We dont get the triple threat, firstly. And like Jake said, they always have the same finish. they try to make it out to be that u have to totally kill your opponet and leave him laid out on a strecther. but thats NEVER the way it goes. Its always some quick lucky push over the line. And the whole point pf this match, was for Batista to "hurt" HBK. So the only way it pays benefit to the storyline is if they really have Batista brutalize Shawn, and wheel him out. Highly unlikely. I predict a sweet chin music onto the Stretcher, right near the line, for the quick push over

 

[Rusty]

Well this should be entertaining I guess, but I just cant see HBK winning this one as it just makes sense for Batista to win. The thing that pisses me off is that not one of them has really turned heel yet. A few weeks ago it seemed as if Batista was turning heel and he got a fair amount of heat, but now hes sorta face again and the same can be said about Jericho.

If all of them remain face, I ask what was the point of this feud?? Batista needs to turn heel and kept heel. I doubt Shawn will turn heel as I think he gets the most cheers out of the three.

I doubt the WWE will make it a triple threat as it will be kinda confusing. But anyway Jericho will interfere and accidentally causes Batista to win somehow.

 

[Slim Pickns]

I actually like this feud because, at first I thought it was only going to serve to keep Flairs name on TV, but it has actually become a breath of fresh air on RAW. I'm not big on stretcher matches however and could care less for the match itselft. I do though, want to see where this feud goes and if Batista ends up on RAW. I would have prefered a Triple Threat with some sort of gimmick and seen Jericho pick up a win (the guy needs something) but this should keep things fresh and interesting which will allow Jericho to be a part of it.

 

[AnthonyMango/NoFate007]

I'm really hoping that what goes down here is Batista injuring Michaels and turning heel...partially because I'm so sick and tired of seeing Batista as a face, and partially because I think we all can see Batista is going to win the match anyway. This would be a nice opportunity for them to capitalize on how they missed turning him heel in the first match. Just have a normal match until Batista figures out that he can't win it without HBK being legitimately hurt, as he's just too crafty to get out of the stretcher. In doing so, Batista does something like that old chair spot where they hook your leg into it and stomp on it. After a while, have Jericho come out and try to stop Batista, but he can get speared or something. Then, Batista plays up the boos in the crowd, wins the match, and continues being a heel by being the next "big man" for Big Show to face (as it seems he's going through all of them anyway).

Alright. So we have Batista vs HBK round 2 here. Jericho obviously I think will be involved in the match somehow. Wether or not he's supposed to be is a different story. Now for this match I'm looking to see Batista win. Not due to HBK though. I'm expecting towards the end of the match for Y2J to come down and beat the holy Hell out of HBK with some sort of weapon just before he wins the match. He'll most likely be gone by the time Batista realizes what happened. The match itself should be pretty good though. HBK made Tista work pretty hard at Backlash, and one would think he's going to do the same at ONS. As interesting as it looks though, for some reason I am not all into this match... I just get the sense as Jake mentioned that it'll end just as all of the other strecher matches end...

I like where your going, it's clear that one of them has to turn heel soon, and Batista would be the logical choice, I think you're pretty much right one with how the match will go, and if it does come down to the chair spot, I think it'll be after Batista hits the Batista bomb, he'll go out and get his chair, and put it on the knee, this is where Jericho should do his run in (if he has one in this match) he runs in to attack Batista but Batista counters and hits either the Batista Bomb or Spinebuster on Jericho, only in instead of just hitting like normal Batista will deliver the move onto the chair around HBK's knee, injury HBK, then Batista goes onto win the match

As for this being a stretcher match, I gotta say I'm not too fond of the idea, Stretcher matches for the most part kinda suck, I would have liked to see these two get the Last Man Standing match instead of Triple H and Orton, those two should have gotten something like HIAC or even 3 stages of hell, something similar to what Trips and Austin did back at NWO in 2001 (I think)

this will be a good match my prediction is Shawn Micheals will
Super kick Batista so hard it will knock him on the stretcher and over the line
and Y2J will probably get involved somehow which is good because Jericho
is the man its interesting that Shawn Micheals is winning so much
its almost like they're building up for Triple H vs Shawn Micheals at summerslam

I like where you are going with that, to my knowledge, they haven't fued as face HHH and heel HBK. And it seems to be that they are turning HBK heel. I personally would have rathered turning either Y2J or Batista.

As for this match I see it going to HBK but its got that element of unpredictability to make for a great match

 

[Monkey_Mania]

Crappy stipulation aside this should be a very entertaining match. I fully expect both men to go balls to the walls. I actually do not hope that this is the end of this fued. To me it is just getting interesting with Jericho getting involved more and more. I fully expect like the majority here that Jericho will come down and interfere. But how about this. He doesnt interfere on anyones behalf but his own. Jericho would come out and actually pulverize both men after an exhausting match. Put both of them on the stretcher and declare himself the winner and thus furthering this fued. Then again I would also love Batista to be turned heel. I just wish this couldve been a tiple threat. Ahh maybe at Summerslam.
