Wrestlemania 26- All Purpose Thread (Do NOT post entire Mania cards in here)

[Jack-Hammer]

A match between the two at WM 26 could potentially be as good, possibly even better, than their match at WM 25. I think the best way to go about it would be to give the feud more of a personal twist and attack. Now, the Undertaker hasn't responded to HBK's challenge and I think that the WWE should continue to play it that way for a while. To be honest, I think it's best not to even have anybody in the WWE bring it up again for a while.

Last time, it was primarily about business. HBK wanted to cement his legacy with yet another milestone accomplishment while Taker wanted to do the same. Have the WWE downplay it, don't mention HBK calling Taker out, don't have Taker respond and, come the Royal Rumble, have HBK interfere in the WHC match and cost Taker the title. That way, Taker drops the belt but doesn't lose any steam heading towards WM and looks strong coming off the ppv. HBK costing Taker the world title could be construed as personal and keep escelating the game of oneupsmanship.

After the Rumble, Taker invades Raw and is seething, furious that HBK would interfere and cost him the title, HBK comes out and just have the two brawl all over the arena Kofi/Orton style. I'd like to see both of them cut some serious promos on each other, show up on one another's show often and get in their face and possibly continue to interfere in each other's matches. However, I wouldn't have either of them go up against one another at any ppv or show in an official match. Just let everything simmer until 'Mania but keep things fresh in people's minds.

At WM itself, I thinkt he match needs to have an epic feel to it like the last one did. Make it a street fight with no DQ or countout. Just let them go all out. However, as to who should win, I'd probably have to go with Taker. If I'm not mistaken, HBK recently said in an interview that he's taking time away from the WWE again after WrestleMania just as he did last year in order to spend time with his family.

taker vs micheals wont happen.kane will probly beat undertaker at wrestlemania 30.
maybe they will let dx keep the titles and have the brothers of destruction vs dx for wrestlemania.john cena vs undertaker wouldn't be a bad idea in my opinion

 

[Jack-Hammer]

taker vs micheals wont happen.kane will probly beat undertaker at wrestlemania 30.

So, you're already calling Kane vs. Taker for WM 30 four and a half years away huh?

maybe they will let dx keep the titles and have the brothers of destruction vs dx for wrestlemania.

It's a possibility, but I very much doubt it. As of right now, the Undertaker is the WHC and, depending upon what happens at the Royal Rumble, he's likely not to jump into a tag feud with Kane against DX.

john cena vs undertaker wouldn't be a bad idea in my opinion

During Cena's promo on Raw, he stated he wouldn't lose another match until he got the WWE Championship back and that his road to WrestleMania had just begun. Cena will most likely be wrestling for the WWE Championship come WM and will almost certainly win the title back.

 

[DugoutDan17]

I think Chris Jericho will be facing Edge at Wrestlemania 26, i think just like Cena winning the Royal Rumble in 2008 when he wasnt even gonna be in the rumble or even at wrestlemania the unpredictability made everyone think wow hes back already... i see this happening with Edge if im totally honest with you. I think the wwe are saying his injury (which i no is bad) is worse then it maybe is. Edge to screw Jericho over at EC when Jericho nearly has it won and Edge vs Jericho at mania 26.

But incase im totally wrong and Edges injury is as bad as they say it is i think Jericho deserves a good opponent this year, after being stuck in the MINT at wm24 which he lost and then being lost last year after Micky Rouke pulled out so he faced a bunch of past wrestlers (no disrespect whatsoever) but we are unfortunatly stuck for major babyfaces at the moment apart from cena on raw and taker on sd who are in that main event bracket for jericho i dont see him facing HHH or HBK as i think they will be paired off against each other. I think we could see Jericho in the Brand Vs Brand match they have. Y2J VS Kofi Kingston (as mentioned already) is a great shout as i see that as Y2J's only possibly opponent or John Morrison on smackdown to be honest but not in a main event.

 

[Jack-Hammer]

it probly wont happen anyway.

how could they end the undertaker vs batista storyline so fast.

It wouldn't be the first time the WWE cut short a storyline for another. During the 1996 Royal Rumble ppv, Taker wrestled Bret Hart for the WWF Championship and had him pinned but for Kevin Nash's, AKA Diesel, interference. Taker's focus was taken away from the WWF Championship and put upon the fellow that cost him the championship. The end result was Taker vs. Diesel at WM XII. WWE Creative has rarely had Taker's primary focus to be a championship. Usually, whenever they do make his focus the title, he almost always walks away with it. If Taker drops the title at the Royal Rumble, which I'm expecting to happen, that'd give him a reign of about 4 months which is a pretty respectable length of time these days.

 

[SpoodBeest]

Ok im gonna answer your questions you present in this forum. While I believe Punk's second run with MITB was good, and helped in the long run. When he won that night it was lackluster. Having the same person win MITB twice, especially in back to back years isn't really the most exciting of things. They could have did what they did in '07, where Kennedy won but then dropped it to Edge, who went on to cash it in for the second successful time. They could have had a different heel superstar win, feud with Punk then drop it to him and Punk still could have went on to do the great things we seen from him this year up until the infamous "dress code" incident.

Now as for winning MITB '10, well there are 3 top superstars that seem to be on everyone's mind and ironically they are each from the 3 different television brands. Now keep in mind these superstars also have a good shot at winning the Rumble, and since they are red hot with the crowd at the moment WWE should be trying to get all the juice out of them as they can.

Kofi Kingston: From RAW, Is on a role since his feud with Orton. He is, in my opinion a superstar who seems to have a good shot at winning the rumble, so if my prediction is wrong that would make him a top candidate to win this upcoming year's MITB, but again this is once the dust clears from Rumble time. If he is unsuccessful then it makes him a top tier candidate.

John Morrison: From SmackDown, Is on top of the mid card in my opinion, but like Kingston he is the one to watch around Rumble time, since he might be a top choice to win it as well. He just dropped the IC title for an obvious reason. To step up a notch. Weather it be win the Rumble or even win MITB he is headed to the big time without a doubt. He has one of two options to step up. If they don't have him win the Rumble, then winning MITB could very well be in Morrison's future.

Christian: From ECW, Is a main event waiting to happen. He needs to get out of the purgatory known as ECW and move on, preferably to SmackDown, i'd be worried for him on RAW. Anyway like the other two he could win the Rumble, but he would need to drop the ECW title before hand, and at this rate it doesn't seem likely. So if not he could very well be in MITB, and is a solid choice for the title of "Mr. Money In The Bank 2010".

Now i'm going to add a little more choice to this thread of yours. Im going to ask the people who post after me who are your eight choices to compete in MITB '10? My choices are as follows:

1. Kofi Kingston

2. John Morrison

3. Christian

4. Rey Mysterio

5. The Miz

6. Matt Hardy

7. Evan Bourne

8. Shelton Benjamin

Now this is just a scenario in which all of my top rumble winner candidates all fail and get thrown into MITB. xD

 

[SpoodBeest]

Hello everyone my first official thread in the WWE section since October so let's get to it. I am here to ask you guys who you would like to see, or even maybe do see competing in this up coming year's Money In the Bank Ladder Match. I have thought up a list of super stars that could make the match very interesting, and fun to watch. Keep in mind this *isnt real life, its just fantasy* (Queen lol) so the people I pick for this match may be long shots.

Rey Mysterio - I was shocked when he lost his qualifying match to Kane last year, as I thought he was a shoe-in for the MITB. Since he is delaying his surgery until after WM 26 has come and gone. I think it would be great to se Mysterio compete in MITB '10. He wont win it, but he'll bring the excitment. I really don't understand why we haven't seen Rey in more ladder matches he works well in them (rey vs. eddie summerslam) is a prime example.

Kofi Kingston - The guy was an MVP of this match last year, along with Shelton. He is one of the people I could actually see winning this next MITB match and if he is a top candidate for winning this up coming year, he is probably gonna be in the match

John Morrison - This guy has been on a role, and recently lost the IC title for a reason, to step up. Some people say he has a rumble winning shot, meh I see him winning MITB. Again like Kofi, was a great addition to the last MITB he participated in (2008) and is red hot at the moment, giving him MITB is the next big shot that needs to be taken.

Christian - The top tier entertainer that is stuck in ECW purgatory. Another man who I can see winning this year's MITB, if he drops the ECW title by that time that is. Winning MITB could give him a reason to switch out another brand as well. Also a great worker in ladder matches would bring some more greatness to my fantasy.

The Miz - CAUSE HE'S THE MIZ AND HE'S AWESOME! *joking* It would add a heel presence to this match, as well as give The Miz something to do at WM 26.

William Regal - If he isn't ECW champion, which I don't think he will be. This will give him something to do, Another heel presence in the match up, and Regal wil fill the role Finlay had in '06, and '07.

Shelton Benjamin - Should be in these every year in my humbled opinion. Not to win, but to shine in this match as he has done every other of the 4 times he has been in MITB.

Evan Bourne - Wanted to see him in last years, but he didn't recover in time. Gives Bourne something to do, and with his style he could very well shine like a star in this type of a match.

Now let me see who your fantasies have in mind for MITB '10 participants!

 

[Banx21]

8 participants they should make it the best ever yet.... of course we will start with

1. Shelton Benjamin - hes always doing that high crazy spot in the mitb match up. i think he will always be in this match up. And he deserves to be. Until hsi time comes to move up ont he roster.

2.Matt Hardy - Hes known for ladder matches alongside this next guy

3.Christian - Should have him lose his ECW title at the rumble and then compete in the mitb ladder match

4.CM Punk - Hed b a good heel add to the match but i dont want him to win it...AGAIN

5.John Morrison - He'd def. be an awesome add up to the line up and id love to see him win it and get his main event push that he deserves... its funny he started out as just a tough enough participant who lost and look how far along he come.

6.The Miz- you need more heels and he would b an "AWESOME" superstar to add...he came along way since he first started...

7.Evan Bourne - i personally cant stand evan bourne i dont think he has the look or personality...he def. needs some new theme music they should make him grow his hair out or something but hed do great in the mitb match

8.Woo woo woo you know it...Zack Ryder hes done so much he is over with his gimmick he deserves this as well...

They have too many great people to put in this match id also say kofi kingston but that be too many "faces" mayb kofi can represent raw in the raw vs smackdown match up if they have one or something idk..

Honestly what wld be awesome is to have an RVD return for this match that would set it off

 

[Piss Bucket]

CM Punk in the MITB match AGAIN?! No thanks, given the high likelyhood that if he was in it, he'd probably win AGAIN.

Personally, if he's not still IC Champion by Wrestlemania, I wouldn't mind seeing Drew McIntyre in the MITB and possibly winning it, would be nice to have a British contender to the WWE Crown for a change, cos as much as I'm a fan of William Regal, all he's doing at the moment is getting owned by Christian on ECW (I know that and I don't even watch ECW cos I'm in bed by 11 on a Thursday night when Sky shows it)

 

[thepalaceprince]

1. Cm punk- hes the defending champ he has to be in it.
2. Rtruth- hes very athletic hes over with the crowd and he has definately done enough to earn a push.
3. John morrison-basically the same reasoning as rtruth except hes overdue for a main event push.
4. The miz- hes pretty athletic and very few guys draw more heat from the crowd plus anytime him and jomo are in the same match Im interested.
5.Kofi kingston- high flier very over and hes certainly deserving of a title shot.
6. Randy orton- he may not fit the money in the bank build but anything that could give him a title shot I expect him to find a way to get involved in it.
7. Shelton benjamin- anything involving I ladder I want him involved in.
8.Either dolph or swagger. I like them both they both deserve a push but probably wont get one but they would both be excellent wild cards in a match like this

 

[gorgutz07]

The participants should be as follows!
Kane because has done well this year and deserves to win something.
John Morrison and shelton benjamin and kofi kingston because will bring speed and excitement.
Matt Hardy because always like a Hardy!
Big show because will be able to rival Kane
Bret Hart because is back until after wrestlemania!
Finally, CM punk because has opportunity to win three in a row!

Hope you agree!

 

[M-Rey845]

Shelton Benjamin-for obvious reasons, he's just entertaining in this match, and should be in this match every year

John Morrison-if he doesnt win the royal rumble, then he's sure to win this years mitb

Kofi Kingston-my second choice to win if he's still being pushed by then

The Miz-to me he's morrison's opposite/biggest enemy as of now so i think he would be the last person morrison would need to go through to get the briefcase

Drew McIntyre-im pretty sure he'll still be intercontinental champion by wrestlemania so im sure he will be in it

Rey Mysterio-i like the idea of him being in it

Evan Bourne-if he hasnt left for tna by then, then he would make the match exciting

Jack Swagger/Ted Dibiase/CM Punk/Dolph Ziggler/Zack Ryder-need for another heel, so one of these guys would fit

 

[SAVE_US.826]

I would personally love to see The Rock take on Stone Cold Steve Austin one last time because they had the best feud in the WWE's history. And the promos would be cool too. They should probably do the promo and take some footage from 1997 up until 2 days before 'Mania XXVI. It would be one of the greatest matches ever. And WWE should make it a last man standing match.

I'll have to disagree there, Rock versus Austin has been done to death and then some, and I hate Randy Orton so I don't want to see him beat The Rock, I would however like a match between The Rock and John Cena, they're both movie stars in real life, it would be a good match up to see who's the bigger star, it could be akin to Hulk Hogan versus Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania III, with the whole "passing the torch" thing.

That and the fact that IF I can raise the money somewhow, I plan to be at Wrestlemania, if not WM26, certainly WM30 at the latest.

 

[King Douche]

I think Shawn Micheals should have a match agains the Rock. A match that never had happened, but if it did would of been an instant classic. Now that is a match I would love to see happen and go down at Wrestle Mania 26. The Rock should win instead of HBK, but just them wrestling in a match at the biggest PPV of the year be great for me.

 

[Piss Bucket]

Just had a funny thought, maybe WWE should ask TNA if they can borrow Samoa Joe for one night to face The Rock, lol.. Well, Rock and Joe are both Samoan.

It has ZERO chance of happening I know, the only time Samoa Joe's ever been in a WWE ring was for a tryout several years ago that didn't come to anything.

 

[Ziirox]

1. MVP- I believe its only a matter of time before MVP is back in the main event scene. In fact, I'd like to call it right now on these forums, if MVP is in the MITB match, he will win it. WWE knows they have a great talent in MVP and this guy will be a World Champion of some sort in 2010. Besides, what else will he be doing? If DX-Hart Dynasty feud actually happens, he won't be competing for the tag titles and I don't see him getting in the Main even at WM.

2. Shelton Benjamin- His match with Christian at TLC was the match of the show IMO. WWE will not leave him out. Spectacular spot monkey much like Jeff Hardy was. In fact, without Jeff this year, Shelton will probably be breaking his neck to entertain in this show. Does he have a chance to win? I don't see it happening but he'll steal the show somehow.

3. CM Punk- If hes not competing for a World Championship, he'll be in this match. Hes a what... two-time defending winner? Hes terrific in ladder matches, a spectacular athlete and he seems to be WWE's "Get out of jail free card" when it comes to superstars getting injured. In other words, hes been a transitional champion and used as injury insurance. Giving him the briefcase does make sense but I don't like how they keep giving him the championship and taking it away so soon is respectful to someone with his talent.

4. Luke Gallows or Mark Henry- They always have a big man in these matches. Both these big men provide another person in the match with help. I could easily see Gallows in this match as CM Punk would be the favorite going in and adding Gallows would give him even more of that winning expectation and that classic heel swagger of "I'm going to win this thing." Mark Henry would be another easy pick if they have a big man in this match. Hes getting a face push against the Miz right now.

5. Miz- Love him or hate him, hes over right now and deserves to be in this match. I love him on the mic, he draws some great heat and its a crime if WWE leaves him off the WM card. He doesn't have a chance to win this match, but he'll be a great addition. I could see him being involved in huge spots.

6. Drew McIntyre- Much like the Miz, this guy is getting a huge a push right now. He'll most definitely be involved in WM in some way whether hes defend the his title or competing in this match. WWE is grooming him for the future and what a way to groom him better than put him in this match and see what this guy can do.

7. John Morrison- He won't be in the main this year everybody. He won't be winning the Rumble like so many people want him to. WWE will have him in this match simply for spots. Love his in ring work, hes always great for spots and the chemistry Miz-Morrison-McIntryre-Benjamin could have would be explosive!

My last pick (If they are going to have 8) took a lot of thinking. In the past, WWE has his hit us with some curve balls in terms of superstars being in this match. Matt Hardy won't be in this match, Kofi could be in it, I think Jericho will be facing 'Taker this year and even if Edge is back by 'Mania, WWE won't risk re-injury with him in this demanding match. I'd like to see Christian in this match but I think WWE should be using him as Brand champion and have him defending his title if he still has it. So... with that said, this is my 'Curve Ball' pick.

Chavo Guerrero- With the embarrassing angles with Hornswoggle, they owe it to him. He's been around a while and they need to use him better. Hes part of a legendary family in Professional Wrestling and hes been paying his dues for many, many years. I am a Chavo mark since back in his WCW days. I believe Chavo may win a title of sort this coming year whether it be US/IC/ECW/Tag etc. He deserves it.

 

[Ziirox]

The participants should be as follows!
Bret Hart because is back until after wrestlemania!

LOL... nooooooooooo.

Bret Hart has had 2 strokes and he WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER wrestle again. In fact, he has an insurance policy that says he CANNOT wrestle. WWE has other plans for him. Bret can't even take a bump anymore, he would probably die.

I'm sorry people, but please, get it through your head; Bret can never wrestle again.

 

[PhoenixBuster]

So, this just dawned on me, and I apologize if this popped up anywhere else but...meh.

I was sitting here, looking at the articles on Wrestlezone when it hit me.

There has been mention of John Cena v. Undertaker at 'Mania. What triggered this thought was my seeing the reference to Sheamus and HBK in a title match as an article title.

What if Cena is due to face off with the Undertaker and he doesn't get a shot at the title or he gets the rematch and wins via countout or DQ before Wrestlemania? He said that he will not lose another match until the WWE Title is back around his waist.

I realize that this would result in a LOT of W's added to Cena's tally for the next 4 months, but do you think that this would make the match with Taker an even bigger draw? How would they justify this storyline of Cena not losing for so long? and lastly, what would happen when it came to fruition?

And....Go!

 

[Jack-Hammer]

It would be an interesting twist but in order for it to fully work, I think that the WWE would wind up having to turn John Cena heel and I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.

Cena is popular with a broad range of WWE fans, but especially kids, and his merchendise does sell really well. It all boils down to money and I have a feeling that the WWE believes that they can make more money with John Cena as a face than as a heel. Now, while I have no objections to Taker vs. HBK at WM 26 at all, John Cena is really the only big mountain in the WWE left for the Undertaker to climb. Taker has beaten Cena, but that was back during his early days in the WWE and Cena has never beaten the Undertaker. It could be an epic match if done correctly, but I don't see them taking Cena out of the WWE title picture.

Between now and WrestleMania, I see the WWE building Sheamus up to look like a pretty credible champion. In order to do that, he's going to have to successfully defend the title against some major players. It wouldn't surprise me to see Sheamus defend the WWE title on Raw sometime in the near future against such an opponent, possibly HBK and possibly on the Jan 4th edition of Raw. With the way Cena said that he wasn't going to lose another match until he had the title again and that his road to WrestleMania has already started, I can't shake the idea that Cena will reclaim the WWE title at WM. In order to do so, I wouldn't be surprised if he winds up winning the Royal Rumble.

As for the Undertaker, I doubt that the streak is going to end at WM. Making it look as though it's going to end is the real allure because most fans simply don't want to see it happen. Taker vs. HBK can be set up relatively easy, but Taker vs. Cena means that the WWE will have to scrap a lot of plans and ideas that they probably already have for, potentially, a number of other wrestlers like Sheamus.

 

[Mr_Wrestling_Number_7]

I'm not saying that won't happen. But I'm not even completely sold that it's still going to be Taker/HBK at Wrestlemania. It seems that if a rematch does take place, they might actually be toying with the notion of letting HBK get the W. But doing so with someone as proven as HBK doesn't make any sense. If Taker was ever going to lose that match, I saw it as being someone younger that they put a lot of faith in to carry the company. 'Rock' type faith. Giving it to Cena is a moot point at this stage and definitely don't see them turning him heel right now.

If Taker were to lose this match, I could see it in another year or so from the likes of say..a Morrison or McIntyre as a shocker to be able to solidify their push to elite status. At one point I believed Mr. Kennedy had the best shot of anyone out there in getting over on Taker. But I contend it will not be a HBK or a Cena. I'm very intriqued in this 'rematch' as to where they take it. I would be in severe shock if HBK got it. That W is one of the most coveted things in all of sports entertainment. To give it to either HBK or Cena sends a message that they don't have a lot of faith in their younger guys.

 

[MizMark]

To give it to either HBK or Cena sends a message that they don't have a lot of faith in their younger guys.

Really? I agree with some parts of your post but that comment is laughable. Does having the World Heavyweight Title on the Undertaker, and having him face Rey/Batista for the title mean that the E doesn't have any faith in younger talent? Of course not.

I agree that it would be HUGE for a talent like JoMo, or Drew to take 'Taker's streak, the amount of heat they would get from it, the amount of gloating they could do after it, they could feed off it and use it to get to HOF status. BUT, look at the list of people that The Undertaker has defeated at WM, it just wouldn't be right to give it to a younger talent IMO.

I'm not a huge fan of giving Michaels a rematch for a number of reasons, which I won't go into as that isn't the topic of the thread, but the main one is that Shawn Michaels doesn't NEED to beat Taker. He has achieved so much in his career, he just doesn't need that win.

Cena is in his early 30's and really in his prime, he has said countless times that he wants to stay in wrestling and not leave to do movies. Giving him the W against Taker would be in many ways a passing of the torch to Cena to carry the company for the next say 10 years.

I hope Taker stays undefeated at Mania for his career, he doesn't need to lose to put anyone over, his legacy is that he has never lost at WM, and he doesn't need to lose that at all. I don't see him losing at WM 26 to Michaels, or to anyone for that matter, and if it is Michaels v. Taker I can see a screwjob finish, although while some fans would LOVE it, others would HATE such a great match to end like that on the grandest stage of them all.

If Cena went into Taker at WM 26 undefeated I couldn't see either of them losing though, but Cena would have to be heel, and I just don't see WWE doing that. An undefeated heel Cena for 4/5 months against Taker's WM streak would be a tough call. Cena's gimmick is about winning when the deck is stacked against him, but how much would it be stacked if he was unbeaten for months before the match?

I think Cena/Taker is more likely than Michaels/Taker at the minute though, why announce a match this far out? Seems to me like they are setting Michaels up to have Bret Hart screw him, which would be fooking awesome. But thats for another thread.

 

[salopstick]

i dont think cena will take the w from undertaker, that may give him more heat than usual and could be a bad for his career

you say hbk does not need this win but in fairness doing the job two years running is not fair on him, undertaker seems the sort of bloke who would give up the streak to the right man, and they have always had mutual respect

Comparing a couple of main eventers trading titles back and forth is far away a poor comparison to the The Streak. Of course when they main event, it doesn't mean they don't have faith in younger talent. But it would certainly appear so at Wrestlemania. HBK could beat him any other time. Why do it there? You talk of passing the torch to Cena. Really? To Cena? He's already a made man and has quite the title collection under his resume, what would breaking the streak serve for him? Other than eternal heat both back stage and front stage.

I agree, I don't want it broken at all actually. But if you're going to do it, let an up and comer have a crack at it, not this year though..sorry if you thought that is what I meant. You do make a great point about Hart playing a role in this. Should be interesting to watch it unfold.

It depends how he lost to be honest. Losing clean might look bad on him, losing after interferance wouldn't be so bad, but would piss alot of fans off.

I don't think Michaels should face Taker at WM 26 anyway, that way we don't get the problem of who will win. And if Cena faced Taker he(Cena) should job.
