Awesome card Will, though I don't get why you don't just swap out some of the guys undeserving of pushes and replace them. All the guys in the MitB match were either not mentioned on your monthly report, or they lost. Tyler Black seems to need a spot on the card, and with his meteoric rise I feel like he'd be the ideal candidate to win the briefcase. I also kind of like the idea of putting CM Punk and Christian into the match together to see how they interact. Jericho is also without a match despite being fairly involved in your story lines.
The rest of the card is rock solid. Who doesn't want to see Cactus Jack and Shane Douglas try to kill each other? And a one on one grudge match between Shawn and Triple H would probably be the match of the year if it took place at Wrestlemania 26 instead of HBK vs. Taker 2 and Triple H vs. Sheamus. Could you imagine if Triple H was the one to retire Shawn Michales, much like how Shawn did the favor for Ric Flair?
That would be the match of the night, probably year on any card that didn't involve Sting/Taker though. A match 20 years in the making finally comes to fruition, and it's for the title. Couldn't have worked out any more perfectly.
And I'll fill you in on the feuds behind my card when I actually get to the PPV.
Other things in the works that won't make it to the PPV.
Sting and Randy Savage are going to have a number one contender's match on the last RAW before the PPV. Both finished off their feuds with their rivals, and they both feel worthy of that #1 contender's spot.
Buddy Rogers is slowly working to turn Shawn Michaels and Triple H against each other. Last week he convinced Triple H not to provide back up for Shawn in his match against Kurt Angle, and while Shawn did come out to provide back up for Trips in his match against Savage, Buddy Rogers chased him off. Both Savage and Angle won their matches against Triple H and Shawn Michaels respectively. Not a banner day for Degeneration X.
I also have a Jack Swagger (face)/Lex Luger (heel) feud in the works on who the REAL American hero is.
On Smackdown, I have Ryder feuding with John Morrison, simply because Morrison started attacking Ryder and has been doing it on a consistent basis. I hope that Zack's dad isn't still rooting for Morrison after JoMo attacked his son with a lead pipe.
I decided against a Terry Funk/Rock feud. It just didn't feel right. I had Ricky Steamboat win the number one contender spot for the IC title against Funk, and I had Rock beat Hogan by DQ in a regular one on one match, but then had him lose to Hogan in a steel cage match for the number one contender spot for the WHC, so both guys got involved on Smackdown this month.
Another interesting little feud I have in the works sees AJ Styles and Dolph Ziggler joining forces to take out RVD, who they feel is the star of yesteryear. They formed a tag team called the Phenoms and took out RVD last week, but lost a number one contenders match to Edge and Christian this week (I have a lot of number one contenders matches, don't I?). There were signs of tension at the beginning of the match, but they remained friends after the match was over. However, Kane and Big Show came out and laid out Edge and Christian after the match was over. It was a good match too, it ended with Edge spearing Styles, pulling Dolph into the ring, and then spearing him too!
