Possible Wrestlemania Spoilers

[Pierre the Renaissance Man]

- There will be eight participants in this year’s Wrestlemania Money in the Bank match.

- The direction of the Undertaker vs. Batista match has apparently changed. The original idea was for Batista to end the Undertaker’s Wrestlemania winning streak, but now, it appears more likely that the Undertaker will prevail at Wrestlemania 23.

- As things stand, Mick Foley is not planned to have a role at Wrestlemania. He had tried to get a match for the event, which would have made sense with his “The Hardcore Diaries” book coming out early next month.

i dont remember reading the first part in the observer, 8 guys huh

[mysterydriver]

Eight?

So...3 from Raw, 3 from Smackdown, and 2 from ECW?

This is going to cluster...very quickly. Cluster I say!

The direction of the Undertaker vs. Batista match has apparently changed. The original idea was for Batista to end the Undertaker’s Wrestlemania winning streak, but now, it appears more likely that the Undertaker will prevail at Wrestlemania 23.

NEWS:

Undertaker either will or won't maintain his WrestleMania streak. More on this story as it develops.

8? That's intresting. Not sure if it's good or not, we shall see

THANK GOD!!!!!! I really hope they have 'Taker win it, as Batista is the absolute worst choice imaginable

I'm torn here. I love Foley, but I dont wanna see him job yet again

[MichaelRBoh]

they should put foley in the money in the bank match

[EJS]

8? Good thing that works out evenly between the brands! 4 Raw, 3 SD, 1 ECW. Totally even.

Thank you. Same thing I was thinking.

With only two possibly scenarios (Taker loses Streak. Taker keeps streak) there is going to be so much stupid "Taker scheduled to lose!"/"Taker is scheduled to win!" junk that I may lose my mind.

They don't know. It is a 50/50 guess. If they are wrong? "Vince changed his mind at the last second."

And in other news: The following people are or aren't in WWE's doghouse at this time: Melina, CM Punk, and RVD. More on this as we find out...or we'll just continue to make shit up like we always do.

This just in:

Either HBK or John Cena will win the WWE title match at wrestlmania. As always, plans could always change.

[Blindkarevik]

Breaking News: As always, the safe-style rules will be laxed ever-so-slightly at Wrestlemania, giving us just enough hope to think that Vince has finally seen the light and realized that his superstars have way more talent than they have been allowed to show.

Of course 24 hours later we will return, blueballed, to the safe-style where a punch/kick combo is considered a "high risk move"

[mysterydriver]

I wonder who the eight people in the MITB match will be?

My guesses:
Raw
Edge
Orton
J. Hardy

Smackdown
King Booker
Kennedy
M.Hardy

ECW
Punk
Sabu

- The more the better. It's going to be the match of the night.

- Taker winning just fits and makes for more storylines. The Double Double E CANNOT be so stupid as to screw that up.

Yeah, I know.

- Maybe Foley will do a run in? Screw Melina over for her title against Mickey? That'd work.

[Hensley]

8 could get a lil chaotic, but I enjoyed the Undertaker goin over Batista thing...let's cross our fingers

As for Foley, I would've preferred him over Lashley. In a street fight with Umaga, he could've made it work (look at Umaga's last man standing match with Cena at the Rumble)

That brings a sigh of relief. No one should EVER mess with it...but I wouldn't care if he lost the belt at Backlash or Judgment Day.

I agree with that. Except for ECW I say Snitsky. Reasoning for that is usually in the MITB matches there is usally a bigger guy in the match. MITB I had Kane. MITB II had Finlay and Lashley. So I think Snitsky would fit well in the match.

[AriadosMan]

What if one of the Raw guys is Khali, he'd certainly cover the "big guy" requirement.

That's all the news I needed to know. YES!

[Deleted]

The Armageddon Ladder match had 8 people (well 7 after Mercury's face went and asploded) but, it worked great, IMO so I think this will be okay.

RAW[/u]

• Edge
  
• Jeff Hardy
  
• Randy Orton
  

Smackdown![/u]

• King Booker
  
• MVP or Kennedy (the other will be in the US Title match IMO)
  
• Joey Mercury
  

ECW[/u]

• C.M. Punk
  
• Sabu
  

EDIT: After tonight, I am taking Crazy out and putting Orton in.
