Could this be sowing the seeds for the dissolution of DX, though? Maybe Shawn tries to cheat Hunter out of the win, it backfires, and Cena pins Shawn? Thus we get the heat between Michaels and HHH, and maybe we sow the seeds of Hunter trying to screw Shawn down the road by getting Vince to make Shawn the #1 entrant into the Royal Rumble? If he could believably do it ONCE....how awesome would it be to see him win the RR from #1 AGAIN? Or even, as unbelievable as it might be....have him come this close in the Rumble, get screwed by HHH....and then have him enter and WIN Money in the Bank. A champ HHH....or even a champ Cena being chased by MiTB winner Michaels? Would liven RAW up a WHOLE lot, in my books. I've wondered for a while which Triple Threat Match would result in a tag teagm breaking up. |

Maybe they both do, and we end up building to, say, Triple H and Big Show vs Jericho and Michaels for the tag belts. |

If Shawn wins i wil mark SOOOOOOOO hard. HBK and Jericho winning..... are WWE ppv's available on blue-ray? f*** that would be the most awesome ppv since wm 19 Wrestlemania 24 and 25 are out on Blu-Ray. So is Royal Rumble 2009. I think that might be it though. |

If HBK manages to become world champ, expect a lot of RAW boycotts to end. If Cena/HHH win.... The boycotts continue. I don't understand why people have to make it known that they're boycotting something. I could care less and it seems like they want the attention more than anything. Well you could argue, if they publicize it, maybe others annoyed with the product will do similar and the core audience of RAW will drop and thus the E will be forced into doing something to make it a more entertaining show On the other hand I do see your point, I stopped watching several weeks ago and till now didn't mention it cause I don't see it as being a big deal As for the RAW ME for SS.........Not really making me doubt my choice to stop watching RAW or buy PPVs truth be told |

I was the Joker when the NASCAR dum dums announced this match. They are building up a Rocky Balboa story again and HBK is going to turn heel and have a intriguing feud with HHH. HHH will retire Michaels at WM26 and the end.

Hold your applause...

To me this would be the best WWE moment in many years, HBK as champ again is something I want so bad. Doesn't have to be long either. Actually HBK being champion going into Mania might be just that bit better  |

I'll be the happiest man alive if HBK wins.
Regarding the original post, was Benoit really considered the underdog to the IWC in that match? Because the way I looked at it, Benoit had been (arguably) the best wrestler in the world for some time but never had a WWE world title to show for it. Therefore, WrestleMania XX was his time with the whole "Where it all begins... again" new direction that the WWE was taking. If anyone was the underdog in that match, it was HBK. He really wasn't really a definitive heel or face in that match, he already had numerous title matches leading up to that and didn't win, and there really wasn't much hype for HBK to win the match. It kinda seemed like he had nothing else to do for that WrestleMania so they just threw him into the world title match.

I gotta agree with these points about Benoit in the triple threat. He won the Royal Rumble, having entered at number 1! There is no way in hell he was just gonna eat the pinfall and then just be cast aside.

There is no way in hell he was just gonna eat the pinfall and then just be cast aside. But looking at it from the standpoint of what OTHER two guys were in there with him, I never thought they'd go through with it. I mean, I had a hunch they might do a false finish (a la WCW where Sid's foot was under the ropes) or something...but against both HBK and HHH? Even though he did win the Rumble, I didn't think they'd put him over either of those guys. Especially considering how marginalized he got after Michaels stole his contract. It was the HHH/Shawn/that other guy show....and sadly, that didn't change even after he won the damn title. I think one of the only "fresh" finishes to this match would be HBK winning the belt out of left field....I mean, it seems like any other ending (HHH over Cena, Cena over HHH, Cena over HBK) has been done to the point of monotony. And what better way to let audiences know that ANYTHING can happen on PPV? *shrug* |

I honestly don't see it the way that you do. Throughout the entire buildup to WrestleMania since the Royal Rumble, to me it was all Benoit/HHH and the third guy. Shawn had almost no steam going into the match and he was the least probable winner in my eyes, at least. I knew Benoit was winning just because the Royal Rumble winner always wins the title at WrestleMania, but honestly I did feel that Shawn was there to eat the fall, since I never saw Triple H losing in the main event of WrestleMania XX, ever. Glad he did, though.
But Benoit was the surefire winner, sure.

Honestly, I'd mark huge for HBK winning, having a feuds with a few people with HHH supporting him but obvious tension, and finally (I know I'm gonna get shot for this) building towards HBK/HHH at 'Mania with HBK winning.
Although, I wouldn't want either of them to turn heel. But tease the hell out of one turning on the other. I'd enjoy, don't know about anyone else

If Shawn wins at Survivor Series, does that mean he has the most time between two World title victories from the active roster? I can't think of anyone else. The Undertaker went from 1992 to 1997 without a title, that's five years. HBK last won the World title in 2002, so that means his seven years due a World title run.
Take notes, Triple H.

The details of his first title reign are heavily disputed) Sammartino - 10 years Hogan - 9 years If you wanna be technical about it, Shawn hasn't won the WWE title since Survivor Series '97. That would make it 12 years for him. |

Well...
I look at it like this.
I am of the belief that Shawn would benefit the most from a title run, but it should be more that a month or two... he should hold it until Mania, where it is defended one on one with the winner of the Royal Rumble... CM Punk.
That match would tear down the house... and with a long title reign, it would also take away some of the month to month stigma of the WWE Title.
And having a good one on one match, with those stars, with a good solid reign on the line... it would kinda take us back a few years in a good way.

That would make it 12 years for him. My wording was bad. I meant someone who has been on the active roster ever since winning the World title and not left the company in between title runs. Hogan was in WCW between 1994 and 2000 so his WWE title run doesn't count. |

HBK is going to win, so Hunter can get jealous and turn heel. He's been itching for a reason to do so. It sets up HHH/HBK at WM.
