World Heavyweight Championship- Undertaker vs Chris Jericho vs Big Show

[TheChampionOfTheWorld]

Announced on Raw, The Big Show worked out a deal with Teddy Long to be the next contender to The Undertakers World Heavyweight Championship.

Now this match was done a few times at the end of last year, I didn't think it went over that well before I can't imagine anything different this year

 

[D-Will316]

i actually like the idea. batista-undertaker has been over and shouldn't start up again it's too soon. c.m. punk i think should work with morrison. mysterio belongs no where near the world title seen unless Taker turns heel then it'll be interesting. Big Show Might be a random contender but i like it. (but it makes me wonder about the Tag Titles )

 

[Ubiquitous]

I don't know, I'm not too excited about this match if it stays as is. I think it would be interesting if Kane stepped into this title match for his yearly shot at the title (by no means do I mean win the match, just be in it). I think Kane/Show/Taker, would be more interesting than just Show/Taker, but I have no idea how you'd add Kane into that match. Haha. Just wishful thinking I guess.

 

[asswhip]

The question is what happen to Jericho if Show faces Undertaker. Jericho left without a match and he can't face DX,because thier booked.

 

[thewrestlinghero]

I actually see Big show winning this match at Survivor series. See Undertaker always goes away around survivor series and come back around the royal rumble to start a big a storyline and the only way I see Undertaker retaining is if Jericho cost him the match.

 

[ascott1984]

Does anyone else think that by having big show challenge 'taker for the world title kinda undermine's the smackdown roster. I mean this is the perfect chance to bump up one of the younger talents to an upper mid-card/main event level in a sort feud before the seeds are planted for undertakers next victim at WM26. To me this sends out a message that the title scence is stale and there's no one trusted enough or seen as ready to step in. As far as having cena vs. jericho that has been done to death with jericho always being cena's bitch.

Has this even been officially announced yet? I know Show said he was granted the number one contendership to Undertaker's title, but did he actually say it was going to be at Survivor Series? Could be a title shot on Smackdown for all we know.

If they do face off at SS, it could be a good match. Show and 'Taker have almost always worked well together, and I wouldn't mind seeing them go at it again. I'm not going to be expecting anything great, but it should at the very least be entertaining. This is obviously just an opponent to feed to Undertaker though, no way does he lose the title to Big Show of all people.

 

[GBALLA]

I dont know about this one. I dropped over $100 on tickets and if this is the main event for the world title then im getting worried about how this ppv is going to go. Hopefully its a smackdown special and not on the ppv. This is one of the big four ppv's and theres no way they are going to have this, but then again, its the wwe.

 

[jwhunt]

Unitl Smackdown comes around, this Show/Taker match is up in the air for Surivor Series. WWE.com has nothing on that match or atleast not yet but this Wrestlezone News site has already confirmed it happening. Right now I don't know. If this match is confirmed & true for the PPV then it should be right & fair to add Chris Jericho into the match making that a 3 Way as well. Along with that a question will come to mind - Where will this leave CM Punk??

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

I'm worried about this particular match. They need to have a bigger build to the match as opposed to just having Show get the title match after screwing Raw. And now Show's been shipped to Smackdown, which is not surprising. I can see this being an OK match, but not a match worthy of the Survivor Series. Taker can make anyone look good though. So this should be ok.

 

[NSL]

The posts in this thread make my brain hurt...Big Show said "...and I'd be the #1 Contender for Undertaker's title at Survivor Series." So please stop all the bickering over where it's going to be. Now on to the match...

I'm usually not a fan of "Big Show: The Main Eventer", but I like his work with Undertaker. I don't know why, but they flow together, and they almost always have good matches. I'm not expecting a MOTY type here, but they should be able to go out, and have a very good PPV match, with Show looking like a credible contender. I'm sure there will be a Jericho run-in at some point, since I'm sure he wants the title shot.

If Jericho and Show can feud, while dropping the belts, until the end of the year, then I could see them setting up Taker v. Jericho for WrestleMania, and there's no kleenex big enough to wipe up that mark out moment for me...

 

[crotchknocker]

The match isn't official because Teddy is going to announce it on Smackdown! Also for those of you complaining about Big Show, he was in the WHC match at Wrestlemania, why would him maineventing Survivor Series surprise you. I don't agree with it, but its typical WWE.

Also stop saying Jericho won't be on the card. He will 100% be on the card, where is the question considering he has two semi feuds going with Big Show and DX and both of them have matches. Either he'll get in a three way with Show and Taker claiming he was the one who actually pinned Raw or he'll head up some survivor series match team. He never gets left off of the PPV cards.

 

[The Mark of Zur-En-Arrh]

I'm guessing 'Taker's #1 Fan got future endeavoured for posting spoilers so i shan't mention Big Show's tag partner in my post to avoid doing the same. Anyway...

I've got to say i'm somewhat shocked. Not that Big Show is getting a World Title shot, because come on, he was in the title match at WM, so why can't he have a shot at SSeries? But shocked because A) this means no tag title match for the second PPV in a row, JUST as people were beginning to respect the belts more, B) What the hell is Punk going to be doing at the PPV? and C) I'm surprised now that Batista has had a heel turn, that he doesn't have a title match. Long/Vince are still trying to mess Taker around, Batista seems to be willing to do whatever to get the belt back. He's a million times more succesful than Show, so why doesn't he have the title shot?

Also, a LOT of you are assuming now that this has been done just so Taker has someone to face at the PPV, and that there is no way Show could win. Allow me to point out 2 things to you all:

1. Taker gets screwed out of matches at Survivor Series more often than any other PPV he gets screwed at.

2. BOTH times Big Show has won the WWE title was at..... you guessed it, Survivor Series, and not only that, he beat guys that no one thought he could beat. SSeries '99 Show replaced Austin in a triple threat against HHH and The Rock and won the title, and in 2002, Big Show ended Brock Lesnar's undefeated streak when he beat him for the title at SSeries. So it's not definite that Show won't win that match at all. Vince likes to follow patterns in his booking, so don't be shocked if Show walks out the Champ in a months time. Feel free to be pissed off, but don't be shocked.

 

[maar130]

Well the Big Show is good for a man his size, I mean that does not mean much but is something.

I thing this will be like one time only match, they need iem to repackage Batista wih his new attitude and CM Punk will raise again bur for now he will regroup.

I don't think Show is going to take Takers belt and is an average PPV match since they announced the one from Raw and I thing that one will be the Main event.

 

[Ultimate Warrior]

And tonight on SmackDown! Kane and Jericho get their chance to get into the title hunt. If they beat Show and 'Taker then they get a shot at the World Heavyweight Title. I'm not spoiling anything since it's 9:30 PM and it's been announced on SmackDown! that the match is taking place tonight. So, if Kane and Jericho win, Kane gets his yearly title shot and hopefully Jericho stops complaining about not getting any title oppurtunities.

 

[Lancer]

I think this is a stupid, stupid way to have Undertaker defend his title. Not that Jericho and Show are not deserving, but they still have way too much traction left as a tag team to be vying for the World title, and possibly broken up in the future. We all know how WWE likes to split up tag teams before they even get anywhere.

It seemed as if the tag team division had been gaining a little more attention...but now you have champs that haven't defended their titles in who knows how long, and no real team that has been built up as remotely credible challengers for their titles. Maybe I'm wrong though, and WWE has plans not apparent to us yet. But it seems they are just throwing this all together and not thinking about what they have left in JeriShow.

Plus, I think Jericho vs. Undertaker would be a good feud leading up to, and taking place at, Wrestlemania. It's kinda early to start a program with the two, unless the creative team actually grew half a brain and planned it out to last until the big show.

Speaking of the Big Show, we've all seen him vs. Undertaker plenty of times, so nothing between the two seems fresh. The last time the Big Show looked badass next to the Undertaker was before Survivor Series 2002 when he threw him off of the SmackDown stage...Undertaker has always seemed to make him look like a punk since then.

I don't know what result we will see in this match, but I think Undertaker will retain. Unless they have Jericho win the belt to build tension between he and Show. I don't think Show is ready for a title run....unless we get a surprise...

 

[King Patrick Star]

I must admit, I love the sound of “Coming to the ring, at a combined weight of 720 lbs. … They are the Unified WWE World Tag Team Champions, the WWE Champion, the Big Show and the World Champion, Chris Jericho!!” That would be a Mark out moment for me. Of course it would get old fast, ask Kurt Angle during his TNA X Title and TNA Tag Title runs.

I actually believe that the 33% chance the Undertaker has is enough to walk (or float) out with the World Title. I wouldn’t vBet my vCash, but that’s what I think. Unless of course McMahon were to really screw Taker at Survivor Series. If that’s the case, I see Jericho walking out with the World Title and start the end of JeriShow. Maybe Jericho could say something like, “look, we got the World Title on me, now let’s get the WWE Title on you, after all, we beat Cena already.” (assuming Cena is victorious over DX). Then of course, Jericho screws Show, (possibly unifying the WWE and World Titles again … okay too far), Cena retains and JeriShow Explodes at Armageddon!! Well it sounds better than “JeriShow Explodes at … TLC!!” right?? #@#@!!

I think this is a stupid, stupid way to have Undertaker defend his title. Not that Jericho and Show are not deserving, but they still have way too much traction left as a tag team to be vying for the World title, and possibly broken up in the future. We all know how WWE likes to split up tag teams before they even get anywhere.

I will agree that these four way, three way matches or whatever are not a good way to defend the title. But I think these matches were designed to get around the Undertaker's nagging injuries, and obvious limitations we've seen lately.

WWE splits up every tag team, it's just inevitable, they get them over, sometimes even over huge, and then they're killed with no real explenation or logic. Like Carlito & Primo's breakup was the worst breakup ever in the history of tag team wrestling.

It seemed as if the tag team division had been gaining a little more attention...but now you have champs that haven't defended their titles in who knows how long, and no real team that has been built up as remotely credible challengers for their titles. Maybe I'm wrong though, and WWE has plans not apparent to us yet. But it seems they are just throwing this all together and not thinking about what they have left in JeriShow.

I agree, I'd love to have them hold the titles right up until 'Mania at least, and once Edge is healed up, have him and Christian reunite to take them away! It makes a lot of sense really.

Plus, I think Jericho vs. Undertaker would be a good feud leading up to, and taking place at, Wrestlemania. It's kinda early to start a program with the two, unless the creative team actually grew half a brain and planned it out to last until the big show.

This is definitely the route the company should go, if Edge cannot make it back in time for 'Mania, which from what I've been reading seems like a sad possibility. Jericho & 'Taker have worked in the same company for nearly 10 years, and haven't had a program or a big PPV match? Just wrong.

Speaking of the Big Show, we've all seen him vs. Undertaker plenty of times, so nothing between the two seems fresh. The last time the Big Show looked badass next to the Undertaker was before Survivor Series 2002 when he threw him off of the SmackDown stage...Undertaker has always seemed to make him look like a punk since then.

Have never bought Show as a main eventer, and I never will. Which is why I was perfectly fine with him in his role as a tag partner, and the big lug was actually starting to grow on me.

I don't know what result we will see in this match, but I think Undertaker will retain. Unless they have Jericho win the belt to build tension between he and Show. I don't think Show is ready for a title run....unless we get a surprise...

Not all surprises are good quite frankly! But I see 'Taker going over in the story of the match being Show & Jericho's inability to decide who wins, 'Taker capitalizes.

 

[NOD_FAN]

I don’t understand why they put them in the title match. The whole pint of them being a tag team is to bring prestige and meaning back to the belts which I believe they have...WWE booking is terrible. Put the undertaker against someone else and let JERISHOW focus on putting the tag belts back on the map... That’s what I think...Once again WWE is saying the tag belts mean nothing..

 

[Rated_R_Edgehead]

Actually I think they're doing a great job of bringing credibility back to the tag titles, first of all, they have 2 pretty much main eventers holding the belts, which would encourage any 2 other guys to take a chance and try and beat them for the titles, I mean they have put the titles back on the map, this really isn't about the main events at Survivor Series, they're just stepping stones for Dx vs Jerishow, I don't think Jerishow should fued against each other, cause that would mean one of them would turn face, I don't really want to see that! But having the 2 people that hold the tag titles be in a main event at SS is giving the belts quite a lot of credibility!

I think Taker will retain, and carry the belt to Wrestlemania next year, where he puts both the streak and the title on the line against whoever wins the Rumble, probably Randy Orton.

Also, I don't see Randy Orton winning the Royal Rumble this year, I don't think they would have him win it 2 Royal Rumbles in a row, but who would win it I don't know!

I was hoping Edge would return during the Royal Rumble and Win, that would be awesome! But I don't see that happening.

So who else is left, who can carry a main event at Wrestlemania, I know he really isn't doing much, but I would love to see Kane win his first Royal Rumble and fued with Taker at 26, if anyone can give Kane a good fued and make the match against him a big one it's the deadman! They have had great matches in the past.

Or maybe Batista will win again and he'll go after Cena, or maybe someone completly different will win!

 

[jwhunt]

In my view, it looks like right now that the WWE is now giving the Undertaker his FINAL good decent size world title reign for when he does drop it then Taker Title Saga will finally be over & no more. Taker's retirment rumors have been coming about & since they had to give Taker the title at HIAC because of Punk going into the dog house for who knows what then must've then thought - why not, lets gets this reign done now.

As you could now see whats happening here there giving Taker lots of different obstacle battles that seem to be getting more tougher & more challenging. Lets roll through:

- Taker wins over Punk at HIAC in HIAC to become World Champ
- He retains over Punk on SD in a Submission Match with chances of another screwjob
- He retains over Punk, Batista & Mysterio in a 4 Way at Bragging Rights
- He now defends against Big Show & Chris Jericho in a 3 Way at Survivor Series

With what I see happening, I think to me it's gonna be perfect timing. I'm going for the Undertaker to retain at Survivor Series over JeriShow. After that I'm hoping his next challenge to be Kane at the TLC PPV so that before he drops the title those two could have one more battle for gold. Wether its a TLC, Ladder or a Table Match I see Taker retaining there too. This will bring him to the Royal Rumble where I'll guess that's when he drops the belt. My guesses for challenger will either be Punk again or Batista. Afterwards Taker will use his rematch claws & will automaticly be one of the 6 in the Elimination Chamber.

 

[goodlay]

I can't see them giving Show or Jericho the title, it just wouldn't make sense. I really just think Taker has the belt because his career is starting to wind down and they really don't have anyone else to put the belt on. Im hoping for a great match, but I think if Show doesn't do well, it could really screw up the pacing and the quality of the match.

 

[Jonnie Walker]

Can they please take the title off of Taker? He has one or two matches, cuts a bunch of promos, wins at the PPV, and the cycle continues. I get it, he's an all time great, but so is HBK, and he goes out there in a match nearly every week. I don't care who wins this match, as long as Taker doesn't. Giving it to Show would be stupid, because he's on RAW, and giving it to Jericho would be stupid as well, because he's already got two belts. Let Jerishow unfortunately end, give Jericho the belt, and whatever else happens will happen. As much as I hate to say it, Taker will win, and something weird will happen next month at TLC.(Taker in a TLC match?)

 

[therocksaysyo]

Since Jericho tapped to 'Taker last week, I still think he may win on Sun.

I don't see Jericho being beaten by 'Taker back-to-back!!!

'Taker has had a good reign already in my opinion. It may continue...but not for long.

They may decide to take the tag titles of JeriShow before Jericho or Show gets another belt.....BUT.....how cool would it be if JeriShow held the tag title along with the World Title!!!!

Who else do you want to face Taker? There really aren't any other options out there at the moment, Jerishow was the most logical choice, if you have a better idea, tell me about it.

This should be a pretty solid match here, Taker steps up when he has to and Jericho is one of the best in the WWE. Big Show serves his purpose as well. We should get the standard Jerishow working together at first followed by them turnign each other mid match, and the rest will be chaos. I don't see how Taker loses here, what would the point of giving Jericho or Show the title right now be? Jericho or Big Show will likely cost the otehr one the match, leading to some more tensions between them, I'm thinking Show may end up as a face coming out of this. Overall, pretty solid match and the one that made the most sense, Taker should end up victorious.
