Some *THOUGHTS* on RVD, Taker, Kane, Matt Hardy, Christian, etc.
-I have come to the realization that RVD will probably never main-event in the WWE EVER, but "why" is this exactly? RVD may not have the greatest mic skills, but neither does Brock Lesnar. RVD may not be a 'homegrown' WWF talent, but neither were Big Show or Chris Jericho. RVD may not be the greatest technical wrestler, but neither was a guy like Hulk Hogan. Austin was also not that great when he first became champ in 98'. I think it's a damn shame that RVD may never be put in a position to DRAW for the company. But oh well.
-Anyone else see Matt Hardy and Christian becoming friends in the not-so-distant future? Here's what I think we may see: Matt Hardy continues his losing streak . Finally - Matt decides to try and 'get back' with Lita.......but Lita turns him down. Lita also reveales that she has found someone else (and Matt feuds with this 'someone else' and JOBS to him). Meanwhile, Christian has just feuded with Jericho/Trish and has come up short. Matt Hardy and Christian will then somehow form an alliance with one another. Both men will be insecure, and will have negative attitudes towards women. Christian and Matt can both go for the tag team titles at times as well (sort of like the 'old' Jericho/Christian team).
-How long will this whole 'Taker stalking Kane' thing last? I mean - it's great right now because it's so new, but will we see this week-in, week-out? How many times will the fans' 'mark out' when the ring gets struck by lightning and the lights go out? If this keeps happening, won't the fans lose interest? Perhaps one can argue that Taker will have to 'reveal himself' pretty soon. The question however - is what do they do with the Taker/Kane feud then?
And argument can be made that the longer they 'hold off' the confrontation between Taker/Kane, the more fan interest it will have at Mania'. However - the 'novelty' of Taker stalking Kane may start to get tiresome as well.......the fans of the WWE aren't exactly a patient bunch. WHAT WOULD U DO?
-Speaking of Kane, how would you like to see HIM as a WORLD champion not too far from now? A victory over oldschool Undertaker at Wrestlemania would really give him some good momentum (he would also be the guy to end Taker's amazing streak). 2 months after Wrestlemania, perhaps Kane can defeat Benoit to become World Champion? Kane then becomes the new heel champ.
(As far as Benoit goes, perhaps he can pin HBK at Mania during the triple threat match, and then defeat HBK a month later in a one-on-one rematch. Also during this time, Benoit has random matches with Jericho, RVD, and Booker T and retains his title).
-Triple H returns as a face. He feuds with Randy Orton and Evolution at first. Once that has concluded, perhaps a face Triple H can go after a heel Kane (what everyone wants to see. :roll: -).
-Meanwhile, Kane will have scored victories over Benoit, Jericho, RVD, etc. to make himself look totally awesome. I'm thinking that a few months after this (or towards the end of the year), Kane can slowly start turning face. Orton can then be elevated to main-event status and feud with Kane (and maybe win the title?). I think Kane would make a decent heel champion. He has the interest of the marks' with his gimmick, and is also a decent wrestler for a big man. Truth be told, I was actually enjoying his match with Goldberg the other night. :eek:
-Does anyone else think that he could work as a face? Almost a parallel to Goldberg's current gimmick (or old gimmick) where he squashes heel opponents.
-Lastly, I think it's stupid how Raw has CLEARLY been made to look superior to Smackdown in recent weeks. Benoit challenges Triple H (in his eyes, the 'worthy' World Champion). Matt Hardy's 'losing streak' on Raw (and where the commentators note that he is no longer on Smackdown.....he's playing with "the big boys" now).
Seriously; if the WWE are going to act like cunts and belittle Smackdown like this, then they might as well make Smackdown the "new" Sunday Night Heat (Thursday night Heat) where they put all of their up-coming and NON-over "talent" there (and put "all the eggs in one basket" on Raw).
