Who is realistically going to be in this thing at this point?

SyFy? Looks like that movie Idiocracy was written by Nostradamus himself. This is amazing.

At Night of the Champions 4 of us had seats to the left of the entrance ramp, and a huge pillar blocked the view for 2 of us.

It should be Orton VS HHH since Orton won the Rumble for the MAIN EVENT SLOT, but since when did they care about details like that?
Orton is going to win, and I'm thinking we are going to see some huge McMahon swerve in the process. If Orton doesn't, then he will get it a Backlash no doubt. Oh, and Edge needs to retain.

I would have totally gone if I wasn't broke, I would have happily drove from Dallas.

She is right up there, but it is weird how the divas go from hot to not and then hot again. Maybe it's too much TV exposure and plastic surgery. Jillian Hall looked like she got stung by a bee all over her face and then wiped it in Randy Orton's baby oil.

I can't believe there is so much Mark Henry hate on here. He is one of the more legit competitors (worlds strongest man) and has an incredibly unique look. He has improved tons in the ring, and his music is very fitting. I'm not sure why Tony Atlas still follows him around, but I could accept him winning. He's a great fit on ECW, and might make a nice champion on Smackdown.
Now Finley on the other hand just annoys me. How could the last two fighting for the MITB slot be Kendrick and Finley? Not a chance either will win. I can name at least five other guys that actually would have a shot at winning.

Most people forget that during this time many future main eventers were strapped in horrible gimmicks. HHH as a blue blood, The Ringmaster Steve Austin, and a goofy Rocky Maivia.
Dean Douglas could have become huge if he played up the role of "taking his opponents to school". Striker actually has a similar gimmick and turned into the 3rd best announcer behind JR and Tazz. Douglas would have made a great announcer.
As a wrestler it would have been easy to transition, just have him "snap" and declare he is sick of his gimmick and turns into one bad motha like Stone Cold did. It never happened though because Douglas was boring to watch.

I never paid much attention to ECW or Jack Swagger until Christian came along, and I happened to see Tyson Kidd's debut around that time. I used to think Swagger was a joke, but he is going to be a big star one day. They seemed to play off each other, not carry one or the other. At least ECW is watchable now.

I'd love it if Jericho starts to cut a promo on Bret Hart, only to have DH Smith challenege him to a match. It won't happen since he is a rookie, but it would help get him over.

I'd love to see Tyson Kidd in MITB, but he is only a rookie.
Out of the list Christian would make a bit of sense actually. Have him win it, then later in the night get involved in the Hardy feud or the Edge feud.

I can't even imagine what that induction speech would be like. Same goes with Savage. Hell they should induct each other.

Quick side note, I pulled out Smackdown VS Raw 07 and the MITB on Legend is nearly impossible to beat. Every time I get up the ladder Im being kicked off the thing.

The two things that had a negative impact were the introduction of hardcore elements (ECW) and the "what?" chant.
The "what?" chant kind of speaks for itself. It killed so many promos and proved to be incredibly annoying during a HHH opening Raw promo where you just wanted it to end.
The hardcore elements turned the WWE into a spotfest and away from actual wrestling. In the past year it seems like there has been more wrestling, and it's no coincidence the ratings are up. Hardcore matches changed Vince's perception into creating "shock value" value to create ratings instead of just simply wrestling and having character development.

Just because MVP gets a bump doesn't actually mean he has to win anything. Depends of course on how over he gets and in ring improvement. He could get a bump only to become another Rikishi, who knows?
Since it has been done before, then of course it will happen again! My recent history on WWE is kind of hazy.
