I'd mark out more than I did for Mickie in London if TBK wins the WWE Title.

So the title match is Kendrick, MVP, Benjamin, Hardy, and Triple H?
Yeah, we're not gonna see a new champion.

So the title match is Kendrick, MVP, Benjamin, Hardy, and Triple H? Yeah, we're not gonna see a new champion. Jeff Hardy beats Shelton Benjamin last to win the WWE Title. As Triple H has not been pinned, him and Hardy start a feud leading to a feud ending match of some sort (a ladder match say)at Survivor Series which HHH will win. In turn, Triple H will turn heel and become the number one heel on the brand due to Edge's absence. This will then lead to heel HHH vs. Taker for the title up to Rumble with Taker winning the belt back, This then leads to Taker vs. RR winner John Cena for the WWE Title at WrestleMania 25 Just for completions sake on the RAW side, CM Punk retains the title, leading to a long standing feued with Chris Jericho after he's done with HBK at Unforgiven. Punk retains in this feud around Survivor Series, although is RKO'd after the match by the returning Randy Orton! Orton wins the title at Armageddon, taking it to WrestleMania to face Batista at Mania 25 (I don't recall a singles feud between Batista and Orton yet, there's a lot of history to play off of here. Flair would also return at this point as a mediator between the two) If that doesn't happen, I'll be shocked!

They're writing him out of the storylines for him to heal some nagging injuries.

People nobody cares about? Have you read these forums before? Keep in mind that just because Kendrick is the "He's horrible, so I'll say I like him just to seem "cool and different"" boy of the week does not mean that people care about him. Many reports have shown that he gets little to no reaction live, which means (not surprisingly) the reactions are piped in. Honestly, I've been scanning this board for about three or four months now (I joined in July), and I still have no idea what this IWC even is, and I basically have no real experience with Kendrick's indy or Japan work, but I honestly find his wrestling very entertaining. I think his character is still being built, but I think it's a slight mistake that Creative is pushing him as this more "intellectual" thing: "I'm the most intellgient, blah blah blah" because I think it fails miserably with the fans. I don't mean to call the casual wrestling fan stupid, but do you really think fans even know what a "Cereberal Assasain" is? Triple H can get away with that because he's Triple H and most fan would associate the "Cebereal Assasain" nickname with his use of the sledgehammer. No one here is expecting Kendrick to walk away with the title, so what's the harm. Are we going to cry that Unforgiven gets a percentage less of buyrates because it's not Triple H v.s. the Undertaker for the title? No, at least I won't. It will just be kind of nice to see a new face on the main event. I'm surprised as anyone that he could get that much of a push, but you never know, it takes the smallest of hooks to get a WWE fan interested ( my god, how did "What?" become a catchphrase) in a guy, and if they keep playing their cards right with Zeke, anhthing is possible. I think this should be exciting for WWE fans because it is a breath of fresh air.

I don't want Hardy to win this and he won't.
If anything it sets up for an MVP HHH feud.

Next week Mike Adamle sues Vickie Guerrero for copyright infringement on an Adamle Original.
Then THE Brian Kendrick heels it up with his flat and boring mic work.

I actually think the Smackdown Scramble could be booked to be incredibly intriguing, much moreso than Raw's. Provided Triple H's promo on Friday doesn't simply bury everyone not named Jeffy Hardy, you've got this mix...
Triple H, King of KINGS, as your Champ going in vs....
1. Jeff Hardy, who cleanly beat Triple H last December, as well as in 2001. 2. MVP, probably the next upper mid-card heel, who claims he's better than everyone 3. US Champ Shelton Benjamin, who has several wins back in the day against Triple H that he can bring up. 4. The Brian Kendrick, the first Superstar arrogant enough to include a showy definite article in his ring introduction.
There's a lot they can build with. And as for the match itself, a "Scramble" where you'd assume the competitors would be going full-tilt for 20 minutes in order to secure the win, you've got 2 ultra-fast guys, 2 really fast guys, and Triple H, which should make for a more compelling spectacle than CM Punk and 4 slow men "scrambling" on the Raw side.
Smackdown Scramble....Your 2008 Gimmick Match of the Year. Watch it happen!

Not that he needs to be a lightning fast mover to get over anyways.

Participants for the Battle Royal are
The Brian Kendrick Scotty Goldman Ryan Braddock Curt Hawkins Zack Ryder Armando Estrada Super Crazy Funaki Jimmy Wang Yang Vladimir Koslov
The Big Show isn't actually in the match. He just eliminates most people to prove a point to Vickie.

No Big Show? That sucks.
Glad they're pushing new talent. Would be better if they'd have Show in it and let Shelton and Kendrick get some good offense in on Show and HHH.
This is the WWE's real chance to make these young guys look a million bucks. Please don't just have HHH squash them.
