I find it funny that ll along they said he was going to get it back and now they have changed their tune. The fact is at this point it doesn't really matter. All this is doing is making them look bad IMO

The only people I've ever heard say that Eddie was going to get the title that night were the IWC, that's it. The WWE were quiet on the subject, but It looked to me, that Orton was going to get the title. As a matter of fact, I was very surprized that Orton didn't get the title the night him and Batista had their one on one match on Smackdown.

this changes nothing for me.

Stephanie McMahon strongly hinted (note: she never actually said it) during one of the Eddie tribute shows that Eddie was going to win it.

THAT SAID, given how often WWE changes booking plans, it's possible that Eddie winning it, Orton winning it, AND Batista winning it were all discussed/considered/given the green light at one point.

Actually the poop-in-the-bag story was proven false...

We'd stop passing judgement on Superstars basing our idea on a bunch of newz reported by "somebody backstage".

Why should Batista and Orton lie about that? The fact Eddie was or wasn't getting the title doesn't make either man look any better or worse. So I can't see a good reason for a lie here.

And BTW, they probably got ASKED the question... Or they called a press conference (with the Sun, out of all newspapers..) only to metaphorically spit on Eddie's grave.

How is this offensive anyway?

This thread really needed some sanity - thank you for this.

This story doesn't say anything positive or negative about anyone involved. It just adds a couple of new, minor tidbits about the history of wrestling as we (the fans) know it.
