Is anyone else praying that God's spot in Shawn Michaels' tag team match at Backlash is filled by Chris Jericho? It would at least add something to this feud.

I wouldn't be surprised if HBK's partner was either HHH, or JBL, which results in a beat down putting HBK out of action for awhile.

I could see something like this happening, as well. Vince McMahon announces "The Wrestling God" John Bradshaw Layfield as Shawn Michaels' partner, and JBL makes his way out to the ring with Orlando Jordan and Jillian Hall following.

Having superstars randomly switch brands under Vince McMahon's blessing could be more interesting than another draft.

There are literally like 537 ways they can carry it out.

But c'mon... the very idea that it's GOD in a match is hilarious. It slays me. Absolutely slays me.

I'm telling you, someone on the writing team reads the captions, because all these outlandish things are coming true.

Next thing you know, Gone Mad's "Jesus Christ" C-Fed character will come true. :lol:

I was toying w/ an idea like that a couple days ago. Either a "New Corporation" esque group that transcends the shows, or a "New Blood" esque stable that has a group on each show (Ala Kennedy, MNM, and Kid Kash/ Gregory Helms on Smackdown, maybe Shelton Benjamn, Ken Doane, Jeter, and CM Punk on Raw), where it's the same stable, but different factions on each brand, but they cross over a lot, etc.

Basically I want a powerful stable that is on both shows, but not a direct NWO ripoff.

Or, if they got really ambitious, maybe instead of a draft, have 4 or 5 guys on each show become "free agents" who can go back and forth between shows on a whim. Something like they have to be on atleast 1 show a week, but they can choose which one, but they have to be on each show at least once a month? I dunno, it could set up some interesting angles.

You know what would be awesome? If some random developmental guy changed his name to "God" just so he could team with Shawn Michaels in the match.

I have a feeling the WWE will really Wrestlecrap this by having Henry Godwinn be HBK's partner. Get it? I can see the writing team pissing themselves laughing over that idea.

I've thought about something like this as well. An Interpromotional Corporation could have been huge. Maybe they could have that new Estrada guy becomer an interpromotional manager and handle guys on both RAW & SmackDown!. Not really a faction, but it is a start.

I hope it IS Jericho.

Michaels comes out and says that God is here. Vince looks perplexed and says "Yeah? Well "in spirit" ain't gonna help". Michaels would be like "Oh no, he's HERE!"

Then, the lights go out and thunder is heard. Lightning hits the stage as a pyro goes off and he is seen "floating" down to the ring (you can't tell who it is, he's on one of those zip lines from the tron). Vince is about to piss his pants when "God" revelas himself to be... CHRIS FUCKING JERICHO!

Jericho proceeds to lay the SmiteDown on Vince and Shane's heathen asses. :shifty:

"Although Vince McMahon and company were very adament about keeping plans for the HBK & God vs. The McMahon Men tag team match at Backlash under wraps, the story has spilled from members of the RAW Writing team.

Apparently, Shawn Michaels' partner is set to be none other than Bill Goldberg. However, during the course of the match, HBK will go to make a hot tag and be "walked out on" by Goldberg (who is Jewish).

This would lead to Shane and Vince brutally beating and then crucifying a bloody Shawn Michaels. Shawn would then disappear for awhile, only to be reborn and to start a stable called "Michaelsian," then to take out both the McMahons (the devil) and Goldberg (the jew).

Be ready for two months of exciting WWE television.

Oh, I'm sure you're not the only one who finds it insulting. It's just a lot of people are used to this kind of crap from Vince McMahon.

I'm pretty damn sure that "Shawn Michaels & God" is just a fancy way of making this a Handicap Match, I only suggested Chris Jericho because Jericho is also a Christian, so if he's going to make his return as a face, why not do it on a mission from God?

Marty Jannetty would pretty much be the same thing, but Jannetty can't travel last I heard.

If you have any hope for respect for religion, after all these years, you need to take a shotgun to your nuts.

You are officially too stupid for the gene pool.

You find it disgusting, I can respect that. But why the fuck you're on about this, when it seems so small compared to mock beheadings and dragging the memory of a deceased Christian through "Hell."

Personally, I think this shit's funny as Hell. Especially Considering Michaels himself. He's been wearing his religion on his sleeve, in his merchandise, etc. Now they're bringing it into the ring...But surely Michaels opened that door, and so I find the irony...Five star Fucking Funny.
