I don't want Rey to have another title run. I hate that he is even in the World Title picture.

Glad to see so many people coming around to what I've always thought about Rey Spotmonkeyo.

I was at WM22 and ready to start a riot.

:y:

Yeah Punk is and is a great fued if he gets the title, and I ain't saying it's a bad thing. I just want it to be a tad believable. To give it the credibility it would need when he wins it from whomever he wins it from if they're bigger. Punk aint the champ now, so wasn't what I was referring to.

Way to go WWE. Jack Swagger needs a good title reign and they're gonna fuck it up by putting the title on Rey. Great fucking job.

I just don't enjoy it when they give him the mic.

This I believe is why I loved him so much in WCW and his early WWE days plus he doesn't pull half the crazy ass stuff he used to either that's not to say he doesn't deserve another run but let's face it he's past his prime.

That goes against what the SES is all about it'd be more likely they would go with something that is the complete opposite which would be strange indeed but regardless I'm looking forward to see where this goes.

Because nobody should ever be entitled to their personal opinions. (And don't try that "You took what I said out of context and singled out one sentence. You know it doesn't fly, and my point stands.)

To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me to see Rey Mysterio walk out of Fatal 4-Way as the World Heavyweight Champion. He makes the WWE a lot of money through merchandise sales, and the booking hopefully wouldn't fuck him over this time. I could see them giving it to him as a thank you for saving them when Taker got injured.

I wouldn't expect a long reign for Mysterio, though. CM Punk or Swagger would hopefully win it back shortly after, and then Rey can take some proper time off for his knee injury. A WHT win would give Rey a little extra "big star" boost, though. I'm not sure if Swagger is at the stage where he should lose the World Heavyweight Title, though. I think he could use a stronger run. He's so entertaining as champion. It wouldn't be the end of the world, though.

I read the first few posts of this thread and couldn't believe people thought that Rey winning the title was a good idea, so I skipped to the end to point out how retarded that would be.

yeah Rey as champ should fuck off. CM Punk FTW.

I don't know why I get so frustrated by the Rey-Hate but tt gets me.

I like Rey, only if he's allowed to do the high flying things he CAN do.

He won't be there 5 years either way.

Wait, "another" reign? When was the first?

When will you be doing that?

I say 3, tops.

no one says that that way

I'm expecting a heel to walk out with the WWE Title, so a face winning the World Heavyweight Title would counter-balance that. Rey Mysterio could pin CM Punk, furthering their tension, meaning Swagger doesn't get pinned to lose the title. He can go on for months about not "losing." It'd be a whingy character not unlike Kurt Angle, but who cares?

I'd love to see both CM Punk and Jack Swagger in Money in the Bank next month. This year's winner versus the man who won it twice.

I imagine that when Swagger loses the World Title, it will be a Kurt Angle-like moment with tears, as everyone in the arena rips into The Swaggie for being a cry-baby. They could even have Jack Swagger's dad in attendence for the match, and slap Swagger after he loses, because "no one remembers silver." But that might make Swagger too sympathetic/pathetic.

Yeah great idea for Swagger to not be pinned. That would make his run less of a shit storm. Though I find him HIGHLY entertaining on the mic and in the ring, he isn't the best of the best.

I expect Swagger's character to head more in the direction it initially seemed to before they realise they had struck gold with his "championship address" character. He'd be all mopey and shit, but he'd Gutwrench Powerbomb the living shit out of everyone and everything the next few weeks.

It'd nourish that comedic side to his character, but it would also remind us that he's a force to be reckoned with in the ring.

For the record: I would probably go with Swagger retaining the WHT at the PPV. I like Swagger, and I think they could easily book him as World Heavyweight Champion until the end of the year. In the ring, he's always delivering, and I think that he has one-on-one matches set-up with Rey Mysterio and even Kofi Kingston (although that would probably be a televised main event). I'd maybe have Christian win Money in the Bank and upset Swagger's title reign for a little bit. Christian could point out that he ended both Swagger's title reigns then.

But yeah, in my perfect world, Wade Barrett would be walking out of Fatal 4-Way as WWE Champion to give this "Nexus" angle a big boost. It just depends on whether or not you trust both Barrett and Swagger at the top of your cards as the World Champions this early into their runs.

I am not opposed or in favor to Rey winning the title. It's just 'whatever' to me. I don't think it's particularly exciting since it's been done and he's a veteran.

I also don't think it's so bad. Who cares that he's so small? He's always been insanely popular and over, and booked as a singles threat. I could care less because it's not real. Shawn Michaels beating Big Show or Undertaker is just as ridiculous in theory.
I was actually happy when Rey won the title, because he had always been a great performer who was popular enough to win a world title, but not "big enough."
I never thought it would happen and it was nice to see.

The booking for his title reign sucked, but I'm over it. I have no problem with him winning it, and I'll judge the quality of the reign itself on how it's booked, not his height or past events.
Plus he's already held the title once. It's not the end of the world if it happens again briefly.

Meh. Well...he did. Blah.

Rey's nice so that means he should be the champion?? Really now? Rey's almost ten year old match is something fresh?? Dude are you watching WCW tapes from 96 when Smackdown's on?

Feel sorry for Swag

I have nothing to base this off but I can easily imagine Rey demanding a title win as "compensation" for not taking time off - despite the fact that his hiatus was postponed due to him injuring Taker.

Yeah, part of me is suspicious that they did this partially because Rey saved them when The Undertaker got hurt. Rey is a good wrestler, and is over, though -- so there's that to consider. The Swaggie isn't done yet.

This is obviously just a clever ploy by WWE creative to get more of the 12 and under crowd to go to SD! tapings as opposed to RAW, although I'm sure even if he's not champ anymore, they'll still flock to RAW as well in hopes that Cena will soon regain the title.
