SHALL WE BEGIN?
fucking SWEET man. all of their matches have been nothing short of epic, and this is gonna be the biggest and craziest of all. This could be absolutely fucking crazy, and an edge of your seat affair. Just becuase its so tough to call.

I mean, I just cant bring myself to belive they will take that mask off Mysterio. At the same time though, Jericho JUST won the IC title a few weeks back, and they are trying to keep that character strong. So does he drop it?

MOTN, calling it early, calling it easily. This is gonna be nuts, and worth the price of admission in and of itself.
 
I totally agree with you. Last year jericho had the feud of the year with HBK, now he's in the feud of the year with Mysterio. We haven't really seen Mysterio in a feud this intense since '05 with Eddie. This rivalry is as good, if not better! I really hope mysterio doesn't lose his mask, but I want jericho to keep the title. Too close to call!
 
I'm gonna disagree. I honestly feel like this rivalry is missing something to make it truly great. I don't know why I feel this way but I just seem to not be able to get into it. Every match is really good don't get me wrong but i feel like their verbal interactions are simply stale. This match I feel will be their worse because i don't think the finish will be clean. I see Rey winning by DQ. I don't think Rey is gonna lose the mask and i think a heel needs the ic title to feud with morrison who is seemingly the only other person at the level of holding a title on the show. Plus I feel this feud won't end here but will be prolonged until Summerslam. So i'm going with the disappointing dq ending
 
This isn't better then Jericho~HBK. Not even close. We've already seen Rey in a match with the mask on the line. Didn't Rey loose his mask back in WCW in a match with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall???
 
I agree this will be a great match and i dont even have a clue who's gonna win,Jericho just got the title a few weeks back and Rey Mysterio sells way too many masks to lose his unless he's only unmasked for just 1 night
 
I will have to agree with 8five. It will most likely end with Rey winning by DQ. If Vince wont turn Cena heel due to merch sales, then they aren't going to unmask Rey.

And yes, Rey lost his mask in WCW. But hey, all the kids these days don't know that.

I have no clue. I think that is a good thing though, seeing how a lot of shit has become predictable. I think the fued is going great, and I hope it doesnt end here. It has to end in some sort of over the top gimmick match. I think the best thing about this feud is that it may very well elevate Rey Rey back into Main Event status, and Smackdwon is severely lacking there. The match will be great, these are 2 people who have tremendous chemistry and know how to bring out the best in each other. I say Jericho wins with Rey Rey getting his revenge at NOC.
 
I'm really afraid that they are going to cut the feud short and have Rey win. I can't see Rey losing his mask, but I don't want him to win and end it either. This is a good, personal feud that may rival the Jericho/Michaels feud in greatness and may be the best thing going in the WWE right now. I think it is going to end up being some kind of DQ finish, that way the feud can continue, because I can't see it continuing if there is a decisive winner.
 
This seems like it is the most delicate match on the card (balancing with a CM Punk heel turn). This could be a disaster for one man or the other (in booking terms), but should be one hell of a match anyway. The only thing that might ruin it is the ending.

There are several ways the WWE can play this out right now, most of which have been mentioned in this thread. Mysterio losing here prolongs the feud, at the cost of some character points. Jericho losing just juggles the title around a bit more, which the WWE seem to be doing with every title anyway. Cutting the feud short seems like a bad idea. Jericho draws good heat. Mysterio is way over with the kids. Why not pit them against each other for another month?

I just don't want to see a stupid ending. The DQ theory fits, but really doesn't benefit anyone. Rey might as well have not risked the mask, and Jericho the title. However, I do like that the title seems important, and how the ending here is up in the air. The WWE needs more matches like these, however, they need to be handled properly.
 
probably rey will win by DQ...that way rey keeps his mask and jericho his ic title...jericho has just won the title and i don't see him losing it at the bash...if rey would lose the mask,it would seriously decrease his popularity in mexico...i would be shocked if rey would lose the mask at the bash...
 
This match should be as great as their other previous encounters. I don't see Jericho losing the title so soon after winning but I don't also see Mysterio losing his mask. The other option I can think of disqualification but I don't know if those stipulations still apply in case of a DQ. If they don't I see Mysterio winning via DQ with Jericho retaining. If they do apply, then I see Mysterio winning the title.
 
As much as i'm so looking forward to the match don't you think that the mask vs title part of the feud has come too soon it should really be the final (gimmick)match which i thought would have run til summerslam.
 
That depends on whether or not Rey loses the mask. If Rey keeps the mask as I assume he will, than maybe waitting 1 more month would be good. If he loses it, they need to have the blow off after then, so that Rey can lose it and just beat the holy hell out of Jericho.
 
It doesn't look like many of you will agree with me here, but this feud needs to end. I'm sick of it. I don't like Mysterio. Jericho won the IC title for the 9th time and that is great, but he is above that belt. Unfortunately the feud will probably continue through Night of Champions due to the stipulations sounding more like it belongs on that card rather than this one. Jericho will somehow win this match, only for Mysterio to pick up the title and his mask at Night of Champions.

DAGGER DIAS prediction: Jericho
_
 
This match is definatly more than a bout for the Intercontinental Championship, it's a pride issue with Rey and a dominance issue with Jericho, however my prediction is that Chris Jericho will come out the winner because of his "big match" experience and that fact that he is a better competitor than Mysterio. Look for all the key flashy moves from Mysterio and look for some awesome reversals from Jericho, this is really going to be a game of human chess but it's up to the champion to control this match and place Mysterio into a position where he has to compete at a higher level or come out the loser, and my prediction is that he comes out the loser and Jericho moves higher up the WWE ladder.
 
Can't really see the WWE pulling the trigger on demasking Rey Mysterio. Have you looked at the crowd and seen how many little kids have Mysterio masks on? It's a fair amount, and I'd argue he's certainly the most marketable person in the WWE outside of Jeff Hardy and John Cena. I would be shocked if the WWE went ahead with this storyline.

On a personal level, I think that there is enough respect between the two that Jericho is certainly worthy enough of an opponent (and friend probably) with Mysterio that if anyone were to remove it, it would be Jericho.

Simply put though, Chris Jericho is too big for the Intercontinental Championship. This guy is going to be in and around the World title scene before too long, and keeping the IC title on him simply doesn't make sense. Mysterio could work wonders with the younger guys as a defending IC Champ.

My Pick: Rey Rey
 
These two have been having a terrific feud. It's the best one in the biz at the moment and this one is so unpredictable. Will they dare de-mask Rey? Will they have Jericho win and have a babyface save the de-masking? Or will they have Rey win and them swap the title again? I can't wait for it.

Personally I see Mysterio win by DQ and the mask is saved but the belt doesn't move but after a hell of a contest. Actually screw that. Jericho will win but Rey will "earn" the right to wear the mask again or something lame like that. The match will be worth it though.
 
This was, by far, the best match of the night. One of the few matches i actually got into, and the match that the fans in the arena were most into. now I'd like you to imagine for a moment that instead of IC title vs. mask, this was world title vs. mask, Jericho of course being World Heavyweight Champion. That would give the fans what they REALLY want and that would be one hell of a main event. But, in any event, it was still a great feud, probably the best or the year so far. Orton and Triple H can suck my dick, hypothetically speaking of course.
 
I totally predicted Jericho due to him being the more decorated champion of the two and him having more big match experience, but I guess I was wrong. It was a fun match and I love when Chris hit's the "codebreaker" out of nowhere!
