[Nark Order]

Batista relinquishes World Heavyweight Championship

January 10, 2006

Tonight at the SmackDown (http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/) television taping in Philadelphia, Batista (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/smackdown/batista/)’s torn right triceps forced him to relinquish the World Heavyweight Championship (http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/worldheavyweight/) over to General Manager Theodore Long (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/smackdown/theodorelong/).
Long immediately declared that there would be a Battle Royal tonight to determine the new World Heavyweight (http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/worldheavyweight/) Champion.
Stay tuned to WWE.com as we update you on the winner of the Battle Royal later tonight.

[Loose Cannon]

Perfect oppurtunity to pull a Royal Rumble 1992 and they blow it. :nono: for fuck's sake.

[McLegend]

This should be interesting.

[Xero]

What the shit? They're going to spoil their own title change?

[Loose Cannon]

and before anyone says, how would that work with two Titles. Well the winner would get the Smackdown Title and if he's from Raw, he goes to Smackdown.

[Destor]

This smilie will sum up my reaction: :eek:

[BlackDawn2024]

Tough break for Big Dave. Too bad. I thought he was doing a fine job as champ, too. Oh well. Guess Orton's the new world champ?

[St. Jimmy]

anyone care to guess at who has a chance at actually winning this?

[Nark Order]

Who will be the new champ?

[McLegend]

btw I say Orton

[The Naitch]

One more reason to watch SD

[Nark Order]

Either Orton or JBL IMO

[The Naitch]

Boogeyman

[Innovator]

RKO

[Nark Order]

What if they pull another shocker like they did at NYR??

[Y3J]

I would've prefered if they said the Royal Rumble winner gets the title. Then have a fued from there till Mania

[Innovator]

IM THE BOOGEYMAN! AND THE CHAMP IS COMING TO GETCHYA!

[BlackDawn2024]

I'm saying Orton. They've obviously been wanting to put the belt on him for a while now.

[Nark Order]

Benoit????

[Destor]

There are only four people who I could see winning this:

Rey Mysterio
Orton
Undertaker
(slim chance) JBL

[Nark Order]

THE UNDERTAKER?!?!

[Y3J]

Who will be the new champ?

Simon Dean :lol:

[Xero]

Orlando Jordan, then he goes on to rub it in Booker's face.

[Nark Order]

Perfect opportunity for another Taker run IMO.

Only I hope they wouldn't keep on with the Orton/Undertaker storyline because it has ran it's course.

[Destor]

THE UNDERTAKER?!?!
You cant tell me you don't think they would.
*edit*
Apparently that wasn't in response to me.

[St. Jimmy]

matt hardy. best swerve ever....


wwe, please note i am joking =/

[Y3J]

ALEALAYLEAYAYLEAHEYALAEHAH

[Nark Order]

If they put the belt on Henry, I will sell my internal organs on eBay.

[McLegend]

Perfect opportunity for another Taker run IMO.

Only I hope they wouldn't keep on with the Orton/Undertaker storyline because it has ran it's course.
If Orton or Taker win it's going to be both of them in the main event at WM with Orton winning.

[Azriel]

They ned to give it to Taker, and that sucks for Batista. Sorry Mark Henry, there goes your feud :lol:

[Y3J]

If they put the belt on Henry, I will sell my internal organs on eBay.

I bid 5 cents.

Take it now or leave it

[McDoogle]

Taker then losing the belt at wrestlemania and retiring.

[VonErich Lives]

matt hardy. best swerve ever....


wwe, please note i am joking =/

Then they have a title unification/loser leaves the WWE bout at Wrestle mania between him and Edge.

umm, yeah... never mind..

I do like the Boggieman idea!

[Nark Order]

Sticky this madness.

[RGWhat316]

So now we have the chance of 2 title changing on the same night. If the Benoit/Orton match for the US title still happens. But I predict Orton should becoming champion. It makes sense as Benoit has not beaten him clean in the last 2 US title matches.

[Cool King]

I can see them making a match for the Title at No Way Out. Orton VS JBL VS Mysterio VS Undertaker in a Fatal Four Way Elimination Match. Orton wins it with help from his dad and pinning Taker.

WrestleMania 22 Orton VS The Rumble Winner (Or if SmackDown! doesn't win the Rumble then Taker)

Orton VS Taker - Orton kills Taker but Taker wins with a Tombstone out of nowhere. Now we have Taker as Champ and his WM streak is safe. Orton/Taker fued still continues.

Orton VS Rumble Winner - Orton is winning the match but Taker costs him the match in some way. The Orton/Taker fued carrys on.

And because of the first idea, We'll have two top guys fighting over the Title and they have a strong feud anyway. The fued has went on for a long time and it's been pretty much OK, but add the World Heavyweight Title into it and you could get a Legendary Fued.

The second idea, could be OK, and it could be very intresting, depending on who wins the Rumble.

[McDoogle]

Holy shit when was the last time a fued lasted a year (with the exception of Austin vs. Vince)?

[starfox8500]

sorry stupid double posts

[starfox8500]

Orton's the new world champ?

YES YES F&%^ YES... I mean.. ahhum

I would be very enthusiastic to see Oton win the title

*does a happy dance* :shifty:

[FourFifty]

If they put the belt on Henry, I will sell my internal organs on eBay.

If Mark Henry wins I'll buy your liver, because I'll need a new one.

Come on Boogeyman, come on Boogeyman!

[McLegend]

If the Boogeyman wins the World Heavyweight Title then world is going to end.

[FourFifty]

That's not a bad thing, you know.

*edit- In fact, it's a good thing!

[Kane Knight]

What if they pull another shocker like they did at NYR??

Edge is gonna win the SD! Title Too?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I have a feeling it's going to be The Undertaker or Randy Orton. I hope it's neither. Personally, I hope they do something unpredictable and have Booker T or Chris Benoit win. It would actually be interesting to see Randy Orton beat Chris Benoit earlier, which makes Booker T WWE United States Champion, which he rubs in Benoit's face, then Benoit goes on to win the Battle Royal and rubs the bigger belt in Booker's face. Won't happen, though.

I would mark out if Kane or Kurt Angle made the surprise jump to SmackDown! and won. Shawn Michaels then wins the Royal Rumble after being upset he still hasn't settled his score with Angle, then we get Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels for the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 22, with Kurt Angle retaining due to a Vince McMahon "ring the bell" screwjob while HBK is in the Ankle Lock. Then you can have Kurt Angle vs. Batista at Summerslam, with an agry Dave wanting to win back his Championship. I'd probably go as far as having him win the title, again.

But yeah, they could really use this as a chance to elevate some guy like William Regal or yes, Matt Hardy. Just thought I'd note I'm glad Batista held his belt longer than Cena held his.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Edge is gonna win the SD! Title Too?

Why not? It would unify the World Championships, and make Edge look even better.

[Mr. Nerfect]

If I could choose one man, and one man alone to win the World Heavyweight Championship today, it would be a returning Chris Jericho.

[FourFifty]

Why not? It would unify the World Championships, and make Edge look even better.
Unify the titles? Where have you been? Vince already said that's not going to happen.


VINCE: Well, the year ain’t over yet, and we’ve got a huge show for everyone!!!!! [waits for the cheers to die down] Tonight, we’re going to have a big supershow for all of you, which means you’re going to see superstars from both RAW and SmackDOWN! <u>That’s just so you annoying smarks can keep on thinking that we’re going to end the brand split, even though we’re not because it allows me to bury twice as many wrestlers as before!!! :rofl:</u>

Crickets chirp.

CRUISERWEIGHTS: [backstage] :rant:

VINCE: Oh crap, did I say that out loud?

JOHNNY ACE: [in the headset] No, Vince, you only thought it.

[wwe2222]

maybe some kind of swerve will happen tonight, and no champ will be crowned...leave it open for the rumble

[BlackDawn2024]

Even though I'd like to see Orton win it, I'd love it if Mysterio won it. Just imagine the crowd reaction when Rey is announced as the new world heavyweight champion. :love:

.....too bad it's not gonna happen.

[Sting Fan]

Benoit is in an ok position to take it and feud with OPrton till WM making Randy look strong in winning at WM. He can lose the U.S. to Booker earlier in the night via RKO interference and then he beats the odds to win the belt later in the night and feud Orton.

That being said Favourites have to be RKO, Taker and perhaps Rey for his affiliation with Tista. Then again they might have a brain explosion and continue the Booker push by going double title?

[Sting Fan]

Whoops Alienoid pretty much already made my point, my bad.

[John la Rock]

I'm hoping for an Undertaker win

[KingofOldSchool]

In a swerve, Juventud will come back with mask full in tow and win the World Title. Thus setting up a mask vs. mask World Title match against Rey at the Royal Rumble.

:shifty:

[Loose Cannon]

KURT FK'N ANGLE IS YOUR NEW CHAMPION

[Loose Cannon]

OH IT'S TRUE

[Mr. Nerfect]

FIT FINLAY!!!!!!!21!

...wouldn't surprise me.

[Taker Fan]

If a new champion is crowned tonite, I think it'll either be Rey Rey (then defend against Henry at Rumble), Taker, or Orton. If not, and they leave it open for the Royal Rumble winner, being if the winner is from RAW, he will go to SD, I see it being Angle, or hell, even RVD *wakes up*. But yea, I think that would be a great way to attempt to make up for the SD roster's bad breaks, and it actually making some sense in the process. :y: :)

[Xero]

ANGLE'S CHAMPION! OH MY FUCKING GOD! :D :D :D

[Dorkchop]

FUNAKI! SMACDON NUMBA WUN WOD HEAVYWEIGH CHAMP!

I'm hoping for Benoit, but that won't happen :(

[Xero]

[Destor]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111

[Mr. Nerfect]

So is Angle Champ, or are we being played for the fools we are?

[McLegend]

This is insane

[Loose Cannon]

LOL @ people still guessing.

[BlackDawn2024]

Holy shit! Angle is the world heavyweight champion. Fuck yes.

[Mr. Nerfect]

FUCK YES!

[KingofOldSchool]

WOOOOOOOO

[Kane Knight]

Wow. They really ARE spoiling their own product.

[Innovator]

KURT ANGLE

WORLD

HEAVYWEIGHT

CHAMPION

ITS DAMN TRUE!

[Taker Fan]

ANGLE!!!!

[Mr. Nerfect]

He played a fucking babyface too! :love:

Angle vs. Michaels at WrestleMania, please let it happen. Or Angle vs. Michaels on RAW where Shawn Michaels wins the World Heavyweight Championship, and joins Angle on SmackDown! where they, Benoit & Mysterio have great matches forever and ever. :love:
ANGLE IS WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION BITCHES!!!!!!! :love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

[Xero]

They probably originally had it planned for Angle to take it off of Cena at Mania, but instead it went to Edge, so they threw him on SmackDown!...

Now who's he going to face at Mania?

[Kane Knight]

Who's Kurt Angle?

[Destor]

Wow. They really ARE spoiling their own product.
Can you let one thing happen with out bitching? I'm trying to mark out here!

[Blitz]

:|
















Just kidding :love: :love: :love: :love:
Finally a reason to watch Smackdown!!

[KingofOldSchool]

They probably originally had it planned for Angle to take it off of Cena at Mania, but instead it went to Edge, so they threw him on SmackDown!...

Now who's he going to face at Mania?


The plan was and still is for Cena to face Trips at Mania.

[BlackDawn2024]

Oh, shit. I forgot about Angle/Michaels on Raw. Is Angle on SD permanently now or what?

[The Greater Power]

Kurt v Benoit Mania, plz

[KingofOldSchool]

Oh, shit. I forgot about Angle/Michaels on Raw. Is Angle on SD permanently now or what?

No, they just had him win the World Title so he can take it to Raw.

[KingofOldSchool]

He played a fucking babyface too! :love:


How do you know?

He had Daivari with him...

[BlackDawn2024]

No, they just had him win the World Title so he can take it to Raw.

Well, it just seems strange to have this Michaels/Angle match for Raw, then switch Angle to SD.

Nice sarcasm, btw. :y: :lol:

[ddpBANG]

<font size=10><font color=red>HOLY
<font color=white>FUCKING
<font color=blue>SHIT!</font>

[KingofOldSchool]

Well, it just seems strange to have this Michaels/Angle match for Raw, then switch Angle to SD.

Nice sarcasm, btw. :y: :lol:

Well they needed someone to fill the void over on Smackdown.

[Xero]

The plan was and still is for Cena to face Trips at Mania.
The plan BEFORE that was for Angle/Cena though. Or at least Angle wanted it that way.

[FourFifty]

Is Davari on SmackDown?

[KingofOldSchool]

Now I have a reason to watch Friday night.

[KingofOldSchool]

I'm calling it...Angle/Orton at Mania.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Seriously do now how awesome this move can be?

Angle vs. Michaels on RAW for the World Heavyweight Champion (Winner goes to SmackDown!)
Angle vs. Benoit
Angle vs. Mysterio
Angle vs. Taker
Angle vs. London (he could make it dramatic)
Angle vs. The Boogeyman (he could make it dramatic)
Angle vs. Basham
Angle vs. REGAL!!!!!
Angle vs. BURCHILL
Angle vs. Nunzio
Angle vs. Super Crazy
Angle vs. Psicosis
Angle vs. Johnny Nitro
Angle vs. Joey Mercury
Angle vs. PALMER F'N CANON
Angle vs. Booker T
Angle vs. Tazz (I can see it happening once)
Angle vs. Josh Mathews (Angle will make it awesome)
Angle vs. Orlando Jordan (in a comedy match)
Angle vs. THE WHOLE FUCKING SMACKDOWN! ROSTER!!!!!!!!!
Angle vs. Angle
Angle vs. KEN FUCKING MR!!! KENNEDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Angle vs. JUVENTUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (would be hilarious in a Mask vs. Mask Match)
Angle vs DAVE!?!~ BATISTA!!!!!!!!! (when he returns)

Oh God, that was pleasurable. I new to change my pants. Continue to discuss the greatest booking decision of 2006.

[Xero]

Angle vs. The Boogeyman (he could make it dramatic)

BM: I'm the BOOGEYMAN! And I'm commin' to RECRUIT YA!

*BM proceeds to sign Angle up for the army*

That would actually make an interesting angle... You know, without Boogeyman...

[John la Rock]

KURT ANGLE

WORLD

HEAVYWEIGHT

CHAMPION

ITS DAMN TRUE!


IT's ABOUT FUCKING DAMN TIME!!!



WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Mr. Nerfect]

How do you know?

He had Daivari with him...

Well not so much a babyface as a ruthless badass that is now addressed as being cheered by the crowd. The way they booked him in that match (getting put through the announce table, ganged up by SmackDown! wrestlers, etc.) makes him look like a comeback artist.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say Angle says he doesn't need to face HBK, since he's on SmackDown! now, and we still don't know who the better man is, so Michaels wins the Royal Rumble, and we get HBK on SmackDown! leading up to WrestleMania 22, where Angle has HBk in the Ankle Lock, but Michaels won't give until Vince rings the bell. :love:

[John la Rock]

why is the WWE spoiling it on WWE.com? doesn't make any sense

[JH]

i dont understand this at all
nothing is mentioned about angle being traded

[Savio]

WrestleMania 22 Orton VS The Rumble Winner (Or if SmackDown! doesn't win the Rumble then Taker)

Orton VS Taker - Orton kills Taker but Taker wins with a Tombstone out of nowhere. Now we have Taker as Champ and his WM streak is safe. Orton/Taker fued still continues.

Orton VS Rumble Winner - Orton is winning the match but Taker costs him the match in some way. The Orton/Taker fued carrys on.Gay

[Kane Knight]

Can you let one thing happen with out bitching? I'm trying to mark out here!

Can you please kill yourself for the good of mankind?

I was making an observation. There's a difference between musing over something and "bitching."

God, with how high strung you fuckers are, it's a wonder y'all don't have strokes daily.

[Kane Knight]

i dont understand this at all
nothing is mentioned about angle being traded

He wasn't Traded per se.

If Eric were still around (Or if there was a GM period), this could be cool, as both brand fight for the WHC.

[Joey Slugs]

why the fuck would they spoil something like this?

fucking wwe.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It just occured to me, that Angle & Daivari could look really strong if the hold the WWE Tag Team Championship and WWE Cruiserweight Championship as well. I don't know who won the Best of Seven Series, but if it was Chris Benoit, you can get Benoit trying to be the only Champion left on SmackDown! fighting Angle & Daivari. Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit at the Royal Rumble for the World Heavyweight Championship AND the WWE United States Championship? Who can say "Two-Fall Match"? :drool:

[The Greater Power]

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say Angle says he doesn't need to face HBK, since he's on SmackDown! now, and we still don't know who the better man is, so Michaels wins the Royal Rumble, and we get HBK on SmackDown! leading up to WrestleMania 22, where Angle has HBk in the Ankle Lock, but Michaels won't give until Vince rings the bell. :love:

I would cream my pants.

GOD, JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP KANE KNIGHT, YOU ALWAYS COMPLAIN.

[Kane Knight]

why is the WWE spoiling it on WWE.com? doesn't make any sense

I'm guessing they're hoping to cash in on Angle's popularity.

OF course, if he moves to SD, they can edit the reactions to make him look like a heel.

[John la Rock]

Wrestlemania 22 Main-Event

KURT ANGLE vs CHRIS BENOIT - World Heavyeight Title :drool:

[Mr. Nerfect]

Random Note: Doesn't this make Kurt Angle the first guy to hold the WWE Championship, WCW Championship & World Heavyweight Championship?

This also makes Kurt Angle the only guy to hold the WWE Championship, World Heavyweight Championship, WWE Intercontinental Championship and the WWE United States Championship.

[Mr. Nerfect]

i dont understand this at all
nothing is mentioned about angle being traded

Vince McMahon "wanted to see it for his own amusement" probably. Or because there is no General Manager you can jump from RAW to SmackDown!. I dunno, who cares...ANGLE IS WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm guessing they're hoping to cash in on Angle's popularity.

OF course, if he moves to SD, they can edit the reactions to make him look like a heel.

Yeah, be honest, if you knew Angle was going to win the World Heavyweight Title, would you tune in to SmackDown!? I know I sure as Hell would, and I think that's what the WWE is planning on.

[BlackDawn2024]

You know, I'm not even gonna worry anymore about, "Well, isn't Angle on Raw? WTF?". I'm just happy that Angle is the fucking world heavyweight champion.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Do you think they will reveal a trade? Maybe we just don't know the other participant yet? It would make more sense to keep SmackDown! strong, but I can see RAW maybe getting a tag team out of this. Looking at the current teams, I think The Dicks make the best choice to go to RAW to have their long-awaited feud with The Heart Throbs. It could be...OK.

[XL]

Love Alienoid's idea! Was thinking along the same lines myself but have HBK switch sooner & have Vince 'follow' him to continue their fued! That way SD! gets 2 top level talents & some much needed McMahon related exposure! SD's looking better already!

[Taker Fan]

Like Allienoid said, I think he played a face tonite since it was said that he was put through a table, made a comeback, and eliminated Henry in the finals. And then, as KoOS said, Orton will face Angle at Mania. I think that is the route to go since Mania is usually the stage of first time ever matches, and I think Orton/Angle would make a great title match. The only confrontation between the two I believe was at Rumble 04 when Orton gave him an RKO.

[owenbrown]

HOLD THE PHONE..... TIMEOUT.... FLAG THAT PLAY!!! As much as I like Kurt Angle being the WHC.... Aren't the Raw and Smackdown! rosters FROZEN?! or once again we are not supposed to remember this?! :wtf: :shifty:

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, be honest, if you knew Angle was going to win the World Heavyweight Title, would you tune in to SmackDown!? I know I sure as Hell would, and I think that's what the WWE is planning on.

Yes, I'd tune in.

Though I would anyway. But now I want to watch even more.

Which is what I'm HOPING they're doing.

[Kane Knight]

HOLD THE PHONE..... TIMEOUT.... FLAG THAT PLAY!!! As much as I like Kurt Angle being the WHC.... Aren't the Raw and Smackdown! rosters FROZEN?! or once again we are not supposed to remember this?! :wtf: :shifty:

SHOCK

[Xero]

Random Note: Doesn't this make Kurt Angle the first guy to hold the WWE Championship, WCW Championship & World Heavyweight Championship?

This also makes Kurt Angle the only guy to hold the WWE Championship, World Heavyweight Championship, WWE Intercontinental Championship and the WWE United States Championship.
And the European and Hardcore championships, and the King of the Ring.

Damn Kurt is the fucking man.

[St. Jimmy]

angle as a champion, and not needing the spinner belt to do it?
jesus christ, if they give him a great face to beat on:
smackdown is saved.

if beniot ends up losing the US title, that's who i'm banking on.
if not, it's orton.

[BlackDawn2024]

I'm going to wait for the day you actually enjoy something, opposed to being overly analytical about everything under the sun. You are the living embodiment of overkill.

[Xero]

More SmackDown! Spoilers............








Benoit lost his match with Orton, so there's a good chance that he could face Benoit at Mania. :drool:

[Xero]

http://www.wwe.com/content/media/touts/splash/images/1934728
They say that everytime Kurt Angle wins a world title a jobber gets some talent.

[Taker Fan]

SD SPOILER













Who does the belt go to?

[BlackDawn2024]

In regards to the US title that is..They said it would be Booker right?

According to spoilers, Booker is announced as the new United States Champion.

[Nowhere Man]

Kind of a shame that he never got the one-up on Cena after jobbing to him for the last six months.

[Xero]

Kind of a shame that he never got the one-up on Cena after jobbing to him for the last six months.
Sure he did, he has a title and people actually give a shit about the title now.

[darkpower]

Maybe the HBK vs. Angle match will be INTERPROMOTIONAL!! After all, they've been pushing these RAW vs. SD matches lately. Maybe this'll be one of them, too.

Yeah, I totally ahte the idea of Kurt as champ.

Which is why I'm talking about it as a good marketing point. Because I think it sucks so much.

JEsus fucking Christ, do you try and be this stupid, or did Punt hack your account?

[Marc the Smark]

I'm glad Angle won, and I don't want to be a party-pooper, but how come I'm so afraid that this could all be some swerve? I mean what if McMahon or Long come out and say Angle's not on the Smackdown roster so he can't be the Smackdown Champion and they take the belt away from him? I know it doesn't seem likely, but maybe the reason they put this spoiler on wwe.com is because Angle winning the title is part of some storyline. I hope not.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

WHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Angle Vs Benoit Vs Regal

MAKE IT HAPPEN

[Lock Jaw]

ANGLE vs. SHARMELL II!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

:shifty:

Seriously though, Angle + Big Gold Belt = Awesome.

[James Steele]

I actually think they should have Vince say that he sent Angle to SmackDown! for John Cena and HBK's safety.

[samichna]

Maybe they did it this way to make internet geeks *cough* argue over whether or not it was part of some gigantic swerve of a storyline.

[The Icon of Elisim]

Fucking sweet

Can't wait for this reign. Hopefully WM is Angle against Benoit but Angle against Mysterio would be great too. Angle vs Orton with Angle playing a face would be great too. SO EXCITED

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I can see it now... Angle did win a gold medal with a broken freakin neck.... I guess that makes him a bit of a.... legend. :)

[Kane Knight]

Pffft.

Who couldn't win a gold medal with a broken neck?

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Pffft.

Who couldn't win a gold medal with a broken neck?

Well, Mark Henry couldn't win one healthy ;)

Then again, what has Mark Henry ever won?

[The One]

He's such a baby! I pulled my quad this mourning...I feel fine. I'm jumping around.

[94 SVT Cobra]

ALLLLL I can wonder at this point with these two AMAZINGLY well needed title changings is......how BADLY will they FUCK this up? If raw was an indication, damn.....

[Corkscrewed]

I have... the spoiler-reader's remorse. :(


Damn, shouldn't have read this thread. :lol: I would have marked out like crazy to see Angle win w/o knowing it.

On the other hand, they put it on their site, spoiling their own show. WOW.

And I guess if it was down to Angle and Henry, it's obvious who would have won... altho the smark side of me would have been like "please don't actually let Mark win" so that I'd go crazy when Angle did win.





Man... talk about a totally effed up couple of weeks. Fans turn on Cena. Edge wins title. Cena suddenly feuds with Edge instead of Angle or HHH. HHH feuds with Big Show instead. Angle goes to Smackdown?!?!?!

I'll be interested to see how this pans out again. After a shitfest of a RAW, SmackDOWN has re-affirmed my miniscule faith in the WWE.

[Deceit]

omfg angle/benoit goodness coming up!

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Interesting. On wwe.com, on the smackdown roster page, they have Angle as champ. However, they don't have him on the full roster below, like the other champions. He is however, still on the Raw roster. hmmmmm

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm not sure if I'd rather see Benoit win the Rumble and face Angle at WrestleMania, or Mysterio win the Rumble and face Angle at WrestleMania, Unfortunately, Triple H will win the Rumble and face Cena at WrestleMania.

But I am at least hoping for programs with Mysterio & Benoit in the near-future. I'm also predicting (unless Benoit faces Angle at WrestleMania) that Angle will hold the belt until Batista returns. Angle vs. Batista would be pretty damn good, plus it would be a great way to get the big gold belt back onto 'Tista. This could be a great year.

[D Mac]

Angle>Edge

[Lock Jaw]

Angle>Edge

Clearly you were trained by the world's greatest detective.

And just like that the reign of Cena and Batista are done. And I couldn't be happier. Well... I could. If one of the titles hadn't gone to Edge.

[CharismaInjection]

Is Angle back on Smackdown now?

[Lock Jaw]

Notice though that with their champion out Smackdown didn't fall back on a Smackdown guy but on a Raw guy. Says something about the shows there.

Shit. This is all making me miss Eddie. :'(

Outside of Orton Undertaker, and JBL, there's no real "fallback" guy. Orton needs to be built up a bit, and that leaves Undertaker and JBL. Benoit and Booker T could be up there, but it's about fan perception right now.

Raw on the other hand has an abundance of main event guys (Cena, Edge, HBK, HHH, Big Show, Flair, Angle, hell, even Kane.)

[Disturbed316]

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Kurt Angle.

http://www.usoc.org/angle.jpg

Kurt Angle is now a superstar on Smackdown , but Kurt Angle is from Raw. Now think about it. That does not make sense.

Why would Angle, a huge superstar on Raw, want to wrestle on Smackdown with a bunch of B-Show wannabe's. That does not make sense. But more important, you have to ask yourself what does this have to do with whole "the rosters are locked" case.

Nothing. Ladies and Gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case.

It does not make sense. Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major wrestling company and I'm talkin' about Kurt Angle. Does that make sense? Ladies and Gentlemen I'm am not making any sense. None of this makes sense. And so you have to remember when you're in that jury room deliberating and conjugating the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No. Ladies and Gentlemen of this deposed jury it does not make sense. If Kurt Angle wrestles on Smackdown you must acquit. The defense rests.

OMG

I marked out so much when I saw his picture on the website.

This week has been amazing

[Pinnacle Charisma]

ROFL DISTURBED

That was taken from southpark yeah the talk about Chewbacca.

Anyway thats the second time this week that I have blown my load with even touching my cock.

And LOL at the smackdown page. It shows Angle as champ on the top yet dosnt show him on the bottom with the other sd wrestlers.

[Disturbed316]

The Chewbacca Defence :heart:

[Kane Knight]

I think they're gonna really play up that he's a Raw star.

[CharismaInjection]

I suppose from a storyline point of view, Angle wanted to be champion, and he knew he'd never get a rematch with Cena, so he goes to SD where the WHC is up for grabs, and says it was easy for him because they are B rate talent.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

So is Angle....

a) Taking the title to Raw and Teddy Long now makes the SD championship.

b) Leaving Raw and joining the SD roster permanantly.

c) Staying on both brands back like the champion in 2002.

[Xero]

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a "test run" for another interbrand championship (with the first being the Undisputed championship).

[Y3J]

I think they'll keep him on both shows till WM but it depends on who wins the rumble.

Have him as an anti-SD type of guy who thinks that it's the B-show and Raw is better

[Chico]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

That freakin rules! Wonder if Angle will go to SD permanently, or remain on Raw. So many possible matchups...

BTW, in response to Alienoid's random note, wasn't Jericho the first to have won the WCW title, the WWE title, and the World title?

[Y3J]

BTW, in response to Alienoid's random note, wasn't Jericho the first to have won the WCW title, the WWE title, and the World title?

Jericho was first to win the combined WCW and WWE titles (Undisputed champion in 2001)

What is now known as the WHC was brought in by Bischoff and given to Triple H when Lesnar signed exclusively to SD in 2002

[Chico]

I thought they renamed the WCW title the World title at the end of the Invasion.

And as for the WCW title, I remember Jericho winning it from The Rock on PPV.

[Y3J]

http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/wwechampionship/3044541414

[Anybody Thrilla]

and before anyone says, how would that work with two Titles. Well the winner would get the Smackdown Title and if he's from Raw, he goes to Smackdown.

But then who headlines Wrestlemania?

[Volare]

i dont know but this could be good for the main event athletes...this could sell because of the fact that its no longer "david vs goliath" and now if ray wins it would be more "believeable" instead of a giant in Big Dave and someone much small in Rey Rey

[Y3J]

^ I have to admit, Angle and Rey have had some pretty good matches in recent years

[Xero]

Rey and Angle work well together, it'd be nice to see them have a feud eventually for the title.

Edit: lol Y3J...

[VonErich Lives]

Sp, Vince steals a page from Bischoffs book, give away a title change... wonder if Angle is so over that this raises the raitings?

[redoneja]

I don't think this changes the main event plans for Wrestlemania as much as some of you would like. The most likely plan was that Batista would drop the belt to Randy Orton, while John Cena would drop the WWE title to Triple H. Batista got hurt, yet Orton is still gonna be called up, you just need a strong champion to make him look better when he wins. If you read the spoilers you will know that Orton was not in the Battle Royal. Angle is merely a placeholder for Randy Orton to defeat at Wrestlemania. Angle was actually the most logical choice to become WHC. Think about it, he's no longer in a major feud with anyone. Cena has become focused on Edge. Sure, HBK was suppossed to work a program with Angle this Monday, but this would only have become a vehicle to further the HBK/Vince program. Angle was simply the BEST choice of people not currently involved in a feud.

[Y3J]

...Angle was actually the most logical choice to become WHC...

A Raw guy going to SD to win the title out of the blue. You're right, that is logical :wtf:

:wtf:

never saw that episode of south park? it was WAY back when it first came out

[redoneja]

A Raw guy going to SD to win the title out of the blue. You're right, that is logical :wtf:

Yea, he still is the most logical choice. They can explain the continuity problems next week, or not at all it doesn't matter. If the plan is still for Orton to win the title at WM, you need a strong champion for him to beat, in order for him to look better. If they had given the title to Rey Mysterio(who Orton dominated in a match on SD!), or JBL(who is slowly) gaining credibility as a srong heel(instead of the cowardly type) then Orton would basically be beating a champion who has a lesser status than he. I don't even coutnt the Undertaker anymore because he barely works and an Undertaker/Randy Orton main event at Wrestlemania would NOT be a good idea. Beniot is currently in a feud with Booker T and I can see this one lasting until Wrestlemania or at least No Way Out with a final match between the two for the US Championship.

So if there is no one on SD! who is capable of shouldering the burden, they needed to look at Raw. Out of the top Raw guys, John Cena and Edge are feuding with each other, HBK is busy in a developing program with Vince, Kane and the Big Show are still tag champs, and HHH is simply waiting for Cena to beat Edge at the Rumble so he can main event with him at WM 22. The only man left was Angle.

By choosing Angle, you instantly have a credible champion, a strong champion who has been on a vicious streak since September. Angle is also the kind of champion that can loose to Orton at Wrestlemania, and come out looking great. Plus this allows SD! a little time to build up Rey Mysterio and Chris Beniot as face challengers for Orton. Also, if this triceps injury is about the same as his last one, then Batista should be back in 4-6 months. If he gets back in 4, he can do a small program with Henry to "avenge his injury" and if he gets back as late as 6 he can move right into a mainevent program with Orton at Summerslam.

[TerranRich]

never saw that episode of south park? it was WAY back when it first came out
Oh, you mean back when it was GOOD??

[McLegend]

Jesus Christ stop arguing if it makes sense. Kurt Angle is World Heavyweight Champion who cares about how it should make sense. C'mon now

[RGWhat316]

WOW, I missed alot having to work last night. KURT FREAKIN ANGLE IS WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!!!!!! I never wouild have believed it if I didn't see it on wwe.com. With Batista being forced to leave, they needed another big name on Smackdown, and I do believe Kurt is the right choice. I don't really care about logic right now, I just want to celebrate! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[94 SVT Cobra]

Oh, you mean back when it was GOOD??

Its still KIND of good, but smarter things (family guy the entire adult swim lineup actually) have come along and they just rely on shock value way to much....BUT

I still hope they dont fuck up the new champions and all there capable of..

[Volare]

i think angle being WHC will definately help with some fueds going on and it also brings the "raw vs smackdown" rivalry back into play.

the thing is...we dont know what they are going to do with angle and we can only speculate untill the RR

[Extreme Angle]

well i'm happy, think a new signature is in order...

[PepperCarrotMan]

Lmao you think Henry will be around in 4 months? We all know he'll be injured.

[Skippord]

But then who headlines Wrestlemania?

Triple H

[VonErich Lives]

Makes sense? no.

Makes Cents and Dollars? yes.

someone might want to remind some of you that wrestling is fake

[The CyNick]

I like this move.

It was shocking, and it sets up SD to have some really good main events heading into Mania.

I really hope they keep Angle a face, but keep him going as a badass mofo. I swear if I see him playing a guitar next week, I'm done with WWE.

Angle-HBK which is 'still on' according to wwe.com is very interesting now. There are a lot of things they could do. I hope they dont sacrifice Angle and have McMahon completely screw over HBK, making Angle look weak.

Angle is a great guy to put over Orton at Mania, and there are lots of guys Angle can face between now and then.

Crappy hand they were dealt with Batista, but it looks like they made lemonade out of the whole thing.

[Cool King]

Angle-HBK which is 'still on' according to wwe.com is very interesting now. There are a lot of things they could do. I hope they dont sacrifice Angle and have McMahon completely screw over HBK, making Angle look weak.

From reading that, I have a funny feeling this is going to happen on RAW next Monday.

Angle VS HBK is still on and everything is going to plan (On RAW). HBK and Angle are in the ring but Vince comes out and says that the match is now for the World Heavyweight Title. He also says that he'll stay at ringside and give some reason for doing so. Like "I haven't seen a Title match with my own eyes for some time now."

Anyway, HBK is winning and Vince doesn't like it. He talks to Daivari and Daivari causes a distraction. Vince gets in the ring with a chair and hits HBK of the head with it.

Angle pins but only gets 2. It keeps going like that until Vince interferes again. He goes to hit HBK but HBK moves out of the way and he nearly hits Angle. Vince turns around and HBK is coming at him with a Super Kick. Vince runs out of the way and HBK hits Angle.

HBK pushes Vince out of the ring causing him to land on Daivari. HBK pins and gets the 3.

New Champ and more viewers.
