Who is #1 contender for Edge's title?

[BigDaddyCool]

Please tell me it isn't Batista. Unless I'm mistaken, Edge beat him clean in the middle of the ring. Sure Edge may have taken advatage of Bats hurting himself, but that isn't cheating.

[Theo Dious]

Oh they'll probably have some kind of gimmick match at the next PPV. Seriously, Batista lost at WM, lost a rematch bid, drew against Taker, and now he's lost to Edge. Give it up already, let him feud with Mark Henry in the midcard while Edge takes on someone who hasn't had more than his share of shots.

[Londoner]

while Edge takes on someone who hasn't had more than his share of shots.

*Cough*Benoit*Cough*

[Kane Knight]

It's Batista.

[Theo Dious]

That would be my choice, however it seems that isn't likely to happen any time soon. :(

[Dave Youell]

Well Benoit has just lost the US title, so now would be a good time for him to have a go, but it's well known that Hayes doesn't think he's strong enough for it.

Kennedy is still 6 weeks from being fit

As a filler till Kennedy is fit for summerslam i'd go with Kane

[Theo Dious]

It's Batista.

IT'S STILL SOMEONE GOOD TO ME, DAMMIT!!!

[Londoner]

Kane's stuck in a feud though while Benoit could just progress up to feuding with Edge, so what if Hayes disagrees? Benoit could always just 'prove him wrong'. (didn't Benoit used to say something like that? Or is my memory imagining things?) A Benoit/Edge feud would get me watching Smackdown again, i couldn't give a shit about it right now.

[Theo Dious]

Also either Hardy would be a better choice than Batista.

[BigDaddyCool]

Also either Hardy would be a better choice than Batista.

Good point. Jeff is the on that originally took Edge out of the money in the bank match, he has more claim to #1 contendership than Bats. And Matt and Edge still have the Lita thing.

Or Benoit. They might not be the best drawing mainevents, but they would be techincally sound.

Hell, even Henry would be a better choice than Bats. It is getting old because Bats has been in every Heavywieght title match for the past 5 or 6 months. It is time to move him down and give someone else a shot.

[Theo Dious]

Or Benoit. They might not be the best drawing mainevents, but they would be techincally sound.

This is what I was talking about in the "Benoit not a main event star" thread. This is the point where Benoit needs to be in ME feuds; a new heel champion who can get over by going over a face former champ. After that he can have a feud with a face in a better position to win the belt from him.

Well, personally I hate Chris Benoit, but I will admit he can be used in the mainevent sparingly. He has instant mainevent cred as being the best techincal wrestler ever or whatever he claims. Also he is fairly over. But in no way do I think he should be used as a long term maineventer as he can't carry the fued on the talking end. But he can always be considered a contender at a moments notice because of his fairly stable history and gimmick.

:y: :y:

I like watching the guy wrestle, but I could never take him in large doses as a main event star. His work with MVP has been pretty enjoyable (especially now that MVP has gone over.)

[Kane Knight]

I'd imagine the real #1 contender is the first guy to come along with a hook and the right bait.

[BigDaddyCool]

I'd imagine the real #1 contender is the first guy to come along with a hook and the right bait.

Are you loosing your mind, first you don't lik Melina, and now you are talking about fishing. This is wrestling man, get with it. There is no hooks or bait.

[Theo Dious]

Has there ever been a wrestler with a fishing gimmick?

OOH! I KNOW!!!

THE BASS MASTER!!!

There's already a fisherman's suplex! It would be AWESOME!!!

[BigDaddyCool]

I don't think there has been a fisherman gimmick in mainsteam wrestling. Of course, if there was, he would have to fued with Sharkboy constantly.

[tucsonspeed6]

When the main event is as injured as it is, excuses like "He hasn't got the mic skills" shouldn't really apply. At least not in the same way that they would with a full roster. If somebody wanted to make an excuse not to use Batista, I could give three: He isn't over. He doesn't have the wrestling ability, and he doesn't have the mic skills to be a main eventer either.

I'm not saying that they should automatically go with Benoit, but there are plenty of upper midcarders who should be given the ball and see what they're going to do with it. The one ray of sunshine amid all of these injuries is that they happend to the WWE during a particularly slow time of year PPV-wise. If we were a month away from Summerslam, I'd say go with whatever main eventer you have (Batista). But how many PPVs are between now and then? 2? I think with proper booking, you could be safe bumping up an upper midcarder at this point.

[Theo Dious]

Incidentally, Batista should feud with Kennedy when he gets back from his injury... injury. Yes I know that was lazy.

He should carry one of those singing wall mounted fish with him. Better yet. He should carry it around everywhere and talk to it. It could be his manager.

Then he could cut promos saying, "My manager, Big Mouth Bob, has advised me not to discuss strategy with the press at this time. He has, however, prepared a statement concerning my opponent." *Holds up fish and presses button. Fish begins to sing. The Bass Master nods and glares at the camera while Todd Grisham looks back and forth between the fish, the bass master, and the camera confused.*

And if he ever lost a match, he'd pick up the fish and scream at it like, "You told me to stay away from the ropes! WHy would you tell me to stay away from the ropes?!?" Or some-such nonsense.

So you're saying that it should be Al Snow?

[tucsonspeed6]

Has it been 7 years yet?

[Theo Dious]

Unless you count Tough Enough, it's been about that.

[tucsonspeed6]

Then yes. Everyone on earth has forgotten about what's-his-name. I'm all for it.

[BigDaddyCool]

While they could use Al Snow for this, or they could find a new goof. Austin Starr is going to be looking for work soon.

[Kane Knight]

They should work with the Bass Master gimmick, but make it a tag team. Chris Masters and someone. Then they could call their tag team move "Hook, Line, and Sinker."

[Theo Dious]

How about they give it to Masters and have the remaining members of the Spirit Squad his 3-man backup? "The Bass Master, with Hook, Line, and Sinker."

[Kane Knight]

They could be a boy band, even. It's a little gayer than they're used to, but they'll manage.

[Lux]

I swear to god if they do run with a bass master gimmick (which we know they won't, bastards) i'd watch wrestling more

[BigDaddyCool]

Wait, wasn't this suppose to be about Edge? :?:

[Theo Dious]

You're surprised? A thread about Raven turned into a rant on my ex-girlfriend.

[BigDaddyCool]

It wasn't a rant, it was more of a comedy routine.

Whatever it was, it was funny, time-consuming, and had nothing to do with Raven.

[Slow]

Thats what she said... :shifty:

Terrible... :nono:

"My name is Finlay and I love to fish!"

He'd of course be accompanied to the ring by "Little Basstard."

:shifty:

[BigDaddyCool]

"My name is Finlay and I love to fish!"

Michael Cole could call him Fish-poop. Then JBL would question Cole on it. And then Cole would say Fish-poop, a bass turd if you will. Then JBL could verbily rape Cole the way he always does.

[Theo Dious]

Why would they give Mark Henry a fishing gimmick, he is working on a gorrilla gimmick.

[Kane Knight]

Wait, wasn't this suppose to be about Edge? :?:

Edge is a catfish, so it's natural he be the foe of master anglers.

[BigDaddyCool]

Edge is a catfish, so it's natural he be the foe of master anglers.

How do you figure that? He is more of a beaver if anything. I mean look at those teeth.

[BigDaddyCool]

I got it! Kirk Angler: Bass Master!

[Arnold HamNegger]

How do you figure that? He is more of a beaver if anything. I mean look at those teeth.

"The R Rated Beav Master?"

[BigDaddyCool]

See WWE could get all these Animal related gimmicks as a way to stick it to WWF and their gay fucking pandas. I hate pandas.

[Kane Knight]

He could bring back his Impaler DDT and call it the "Muff Diver."

[Mooияakeя™]

Kennedy, he'll be back soon...

KEEEEEENNNNNNNEEEEEEEDDDDDDYYYYYYYY!

[El Fangel]

Benoit vs Edge :drool:

[Theo Dious]

See WWE could get all these Animal related gimmicks as a way to stick it to WWF and their gay fucking pandas. I hate pandas.

Orton: So, you're a panda, are you?
Panda: Rawr.
Orton: You know, I hear that pandas are rather legendary.
Panda: Rawr?
Orton: RKOs the panda
JR: Bah gawd! RKO on the panda! RKO! RKOOOOOOO!!!
Skinner runs out of nowhere and skins the panda alive
Don West: This is bizzare!
JBL: Who the hell keeps letting him in here?!

[Theo Dious]

Well according to the Smackdown spoilers, it's Batista vs Edge at ONS in a steel cage.

Does anyone think Edge is retaining? Cause I don't. :foc:

[Kane Knight]

Edge will retain when the steel cage buckles under Batista's weight. He will be impaled on the support structure, and Edge will climb out over his still twitching body.

After the match, he will say that the Rated R Era is now in full swing, and promise a "Live Necrophilia" celebration next Smackdown.

[Theo Dious]

Which is then interrupted by Kane, who flies into a rage at being reminded of the Katie Vick incident.

[BigDaddyCool]

Well according to the Smackdown spoilers, it's Batista vs Edge at ONS in a steel cage.

Ok, seriously why? Why does he get title shot after title shot?

[Kane Knight]

Besides being the company boy, being Kliq approved, and being the most over guy on the roster?

[BigDaddyCool]

I just sent a message to WWE about how Batista sucks and they need someone new in the mainevent besides him. I doubt they will do anything about it. But whatever.

[BigDaddyCool]

Besides being the company boy, being Kliq approved, and being the most over guy on the roster?

Batista isn't Kliq approved any more than he is 4 Horseman approved.

[Theo Dious]

Batista isn't Kliq approved any more than he is 4 Horseman approved.

I think he may be Bob Backlund approved though.

[Kane Knight]

Batista isn't Kliq approved any more than he is 4 Horseman approved.

Bullshit. You're trying to defend your own sad asss hypocrisy.

[Theo Dious]

Besides being the company boy, being Kliq approved, and being the most over guy on the roster?

He's not Kliq approved, he's McMahon/Helmsley approved. Big difference.

[Kane Knight]

Bullshit. You're trying to defend your own sad asss hypocrisy.

[Theo Dious]

So, what, Albert was Kliq approved because of X-Pac?

[Kane Knight]

:lol:

Now you're REALLY reaching.

[Kane Knight]

...Wait, I know...It's exactly the same because Albert was X-Pac's legacy to the business.

...Which shows how great the Kliq is. :rofl:

[BigDaddyCool]

Bullshit. You're trying to defend your own sad asss hypocrisy.

I'm not trying to defend myself from being a hypocrit, I flaunt my hypocracy. I hate Batista.

[Kane Knight]

Then you probably should flaunt his Kliq approval. That'll make your hypocrisy even better. :D

[BigDaddyCool]

Then you probably should flaunt his Kliq approval. That'll make your hypocrisy even better. :D

You can't tell me what to do. :mad:

[Theo Dious]

...Wait, I know...It's exactly the same because Albert was X-Pac's legacy to the business.

It shows me that I was right to start that petition to strike all acknowledgment of Rat-boy from Kliq membership in the first place. :mad:

[Kane Knight]

It shows me that I was right to start that petition to strike all acknowledgment of Rat-boy from Kliq membership in the first place. :mad:

No, I was saying Kane Knight's butt smells. I'm on your side, remeber.

[Theo Dious]

Oh, sorry. I'm black, so I'm used to being persecuted.

On another note, is it insulting to those who went before me that I LIKE to sit in the back of the bus?

[BigDaddyCool]

No. Infact I never understood why black people were so offend by have to ride in the cool part of the bus. Don't take this wrong, but you niggaz is crazy.

[Theo Dious]

You know I got detention in 6th grade for raising that question.

From a white woman.

What the fuck. :mad:

[BigDaddyCool]

Yeah, the front is for nerds. So I guess Rosa Parks was fighting for black nerds. Either that or she was just a lazy bitch that wanted to sit down. Any lazy nerd can sit in the front of the bus.

Wait, again, wasn't this suppose to be about edge or something? Why are we now on to civil rights?

[Theo Dious]

Wait, again, wasn't this suppose to be about edge or something? Why are we now on to civil rights?

Because to my people everything is about civil rights, white man. You should have seen the stink I put up at the grocery store when they were out of grape soda.

[BigDaddyCool]

A Scottish soccer riot would look like a morning in a daycare.

Oh, sorry. I'm black, so I'm used to being persecuted.

That explains why I can't read your posts unless you smile.

Is there a record for number of tangents a thread has gone off on?

You from near MO, by chance?

And when he turns heel, he could use the bass fish as a foreign object to pick up cheap wins.
