The way I see it, HBK will cost Taker the title at EC, I guess most likely to Jericho at this point (?).

I honestly don't know .

Does this mean Jericho is gonna win the title at Elimination Chamber?

YES! All over my face! Best WM main event ever!

All I got for the Vernal Equinox was this stupid tag

Can anyone give me a quick summary of what happened with Orton's match?

It was pretty ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz, as noted. At one point he was dominating Sheamus and went for the punt, but Sheamus rolled out. Then at the end, Cody interfered right as Orton was about to win clean, causing a DQ on Orton. Orton gets pissed and beats on Cody, then Ted comes out and Orton beats on him too.

Bah, this doesn't make any sense.

Edge vs Taker for title? I thought Edge would feud with Jericho.

Unless Jericho wins at Elimination Chamber.

Also, I wanted HHH to come out and beat down Shawn as he was walking back.
Both current champions suck, to be honest.
 
Lyte Edge said:
Yeah, it's confusing. Wasn't it all being set up so that he could feud with Jericho?


He still could. Taker does not need the belt going into Mania.

My guess is that he loses it at Elimination Chamber next month.
 
This was the perfect opportunity for a blow-off match between Edge and Jericho, non-title at WM. Would have given them solid time for the build up too. In my opinion.

Edge vs Jericho Main Event at Wrestlemania?

My dreams will have come true.

As for how it could happen...maybe HBK costs Taker the title which lets Jericho win it? Then we can have both matches!

I love Taker man. He has given his all to the Wrestling Business and he produced the best WM match last year and in my opinion even the year before that (Edge vs Taker), but it was overshadowed by Flair retirement stuff.

Hope to CM Jesus that Jericho defeats the Undertaker at NWO, so it sets up a Jericho/Edge World Title match for Wrestlemania.

WWE Title is screwed if Sheamus is champ. HHH vs. Sheamus? Gimme a break, Vince. :lol

But his title reigns suck.

I'm not saying I don't like Taker.

I just think he shouldn't be champion. Nobody cares if he's champion or not, he gets the same response, it does nothing for him.

Yes, only problem with that is though that the Build up to WM then begins more at Elimination Chamber instead of Royal Rumble.

I think he deserves this regin which I am assuming to be his last before retirement.
 
With as little as Taker works, he makes for a terrible champion. He can go weeks at a time without even showing up.

I feel your champ should be on TV every week in some fashion.

Edge vs. Christian would be the best WM possible I believe as well.

We are going to get Edge vs. Sheamus/Cena/HHH/insert guy here.

Edge could be moving to Raw, challenge Sheamus at WM. Meanwhile crazy HBK can piss the Undertaker off and force him to give him the match at WM as well. Looks more realistic than the whole Jericho winning the belt at EC or NWO.

That pretty much happened last year

Ha, everyone already said what I was going to. The Undertaker is not a good champ at this moment. He really doesn't need a title anymore, and is barely on TV anyway.

After that performance, CM Punk deserves at least 10 world title reigns. The man was gold during the first 10 minutes of the match.

Yeah, that's what everybody assumed in 2002 when he beat Hogan for the Undisputed belt, then again in 2008 when he took the WHC off Edge. Bottom line, Taker shouldn't be champion anymore, he's already well known and over enough that he doesn't need to have a belt or be the main guy.

Would be an epic fight but not sure how crowd would feel with Christian being in the main event of Wrestlemania. I'd say give it another year though and let Christian run wild in Smackdown.

That's what they said the last 2 times Taker won, his retirement reign has come and gone.
 
I marked out when Edge came out, but then it was like uhh ok haven't they just done this before a few years ago? Better than Cena though I suppose, Cena's return and win was like :| reaction only. Still seemed a little strange and something felt off about Edge's thing.

HBK stuff was lame and ruined it also, its like all his crap going on then like oh yeah, some other wrestlers are left in the ring and oh wait Edge just won.

First thought was Edge vs Christian lol, that would be cool if the ECW belt meant anything really. :lol Edge vs Jericho more obvious, but if that was the plan they should have kept Jericho away from the Rumble and have him with a belt already so Edge has a path to go towards.

CM Punk was good I thought, I hope he goes further with it.

Still can't believe Christian is champion... but he's a good champion, regardless. Honestly, I really want Zach Ryder to be the next ECW champion because I feel his gimmick is great but those two have tremendous chemistry together in the ring. But I almost see this as a punishment for Christian since he left WWE to go to TNA and then eventually back...

I see how people think that, but on the same hand, he has been the STAR of that brand for a year. In that time, he has also held the title for the better part of the year, and is made to look like a strong champion. As much as people would love an Edge/Chrisitian match, I'm personally leaning towards a Ryder/Chrisitian match at Mania where Ryder finally goes over.

As it stands now,
Taker/HBK
Edge/Jericho for WHC
Want to say HHH/ORton/Sheamus for WWE Title
Cena/Batista
Rey/Punk
MiTB
McMahon/Bret

How many people really care about Christian at this point aside from the smarks? Being booked as a star of the current ECW is like being booked as the STAR of Sunday Night Heat.

Ryder vs Christian IV needs to be given time to be memorable. I personally their their second match was extremely memorable because Christian made it look like Ryder had a legit shot in winning. Christian is just that damn good. He honestly should had been looked upon for MVP last year because his fights against the following were fantastic...

Yoshitatsu
Chris Jericho
Ryder
Regal
Dreamer
Swagger

And I'm sure there are others I've missed. The guy is just so gifted.

I love coming home from watching a PPV at the theater and and having pages and pages of comments to read. Holy fuck its almost 20 pages:lol

My thoughts:

-God that asian announcer Savannah or whoever is horrible.

-Billing Ezekiel Jackson from Guyana, South America is about as stupid as billing Christian from Canada, North America.

-Just because you dont want to acknowledge their existance on WWE TV doesn't mean Dusty Rhodes in 1981 was the last time the World title changed hands in Atlanta. Goldberg, Hogan and Flair say hi Striker.

-That Elimination Chamber promo kind of gave away HHH wasn't winning it. Same with what HHH said to HBK about finding another way kind of gave away HBK wasn't winning.

-CM Jesus was awesome

-WTF at R-Truth eliminating Show and Henry

-Beth eliminating Khali was awesome

-and the Winner of the 2010 Royal Rumber is:


Grizzly Adam!
 
Hello everyone...Joe here...just wanted to introduce myself for my first post...nice to meet you all!

But anyways...I thought the rumble was awesome...my highlights were everything with CM Punk trying to convert people...HBK eliminating HHH...Beth Phoenix being in the rumble...Edge's beard...and Edge winning the rumble...I'm happy he finally did it...now I'll cross my fingers for Jericho to win the chamber...I also wish Orton would have won the title tonight

If they seriously do Edge vs. Jericho for the title at WM... why? Those two don't need the title at all to have that match since there's already enough history there to make it interesting. I guess they figure that it would be the easiest way to turn Edge into a face if they threw the title in there as well.
