8 person MITB? *Potential Wrestlemania Spoilers*
 

WOOOO TAKER

Thank God...

8 person MITB...Holy shit, I cannot wait

Taker over Batista...Thank god

Foley not at WM....:(

Don't you think 8 people is a little over kill in that kind of match when tag teams aren't involved?

It'll be a cluster fuck, but it at least gives more people the opportunity to be in it and get a spot on Mania.

Stil debating on whether I'm gonna watch it.

But is giving 2 more people spots on the show worth risking a potential MOTY?

It'll probably be a cluster fuck but it's worth trying just to see if they can make it work. If they do pull it off it will be great fun.

Depends who those two people are!

And they so should have booked Foley vs Umaga. (Although you'd think that would lead to an Umaga win and a bald Trump - which ain't gonna happen)

yea, but you have to look at it the other way as they're trying to get as many people thier Mania pay check

I guess it's good to give two more people a pay day. Maybe Matt Hardy will get a spot in the match now, which I think he deserves. I'd rather them stick to the traditional match, but maybe it the match will be even better this year. And I hope they stick with a Taker win and don't decide to go back to Batista.

8 people isn't too much. It's pushing the limit, but it's not too much. Theres been amazing ladder matches with 8 participants before. It depends on how the wrestlers handle it. 2 isn't a hell of a lot more than 6, you just gotta keep the participants busy at all times. have 2 guys fight to the stage area and do a big spot there, presto you're in business.

Granted the 8 man ladder matches of the past involved tag teams, but that doesn't matter. In a free for all they're working together with other wrestlers at various points, so for all intents and purposes its basically the same thing.

well, one of these 2 is in the MITB and the other isn't. I think it's fairly obvious who'll win this one. Seems like those action figure "spoilers" are turning out to be true.

I'm not holding my breath, though. Things change quicker in WWE than the weather conditions where I live.

I don't get why the WWE would want to keep Benjamin out of this. He has performed real well in the first two MITB matches, and especially with there being eight people in it.

he'll probably be in a tag match

Fuck i thought the reason for there being 8 would be to get BOTH Shelton and Jeff in then further down the page i see they're facing each other, that's stupid since these two could both make this match a classic, though i definately think 8 man could be better than 6.

Oh and how typically stupid would that be of WWE to have Batista going over Taker? Not only does that make Takers streak meaningless, it does no good for the future of this business.

yea but what about their tag partners? Thats a slap in the face to not give them the paycheck. Shelton should be in a WGTT match of some kind with L&K and MNM.

Matt and Jeff should both be in MITB
Edge
Orton
Booker
CM Punk
Kennedy
Jeff Hardy
Matt Hardy
Kenny Dykstra

My personal picks for the last three:
Sabu
Matt Hardy
Shelton Benjamin

^ Makes more sense to have Jeff in it this year other than Shelton. It's pretty obvious that Jeff's gonna win since that's why he lost the IC title recently.

I don't know if thats why at all. Maybe because they wanted Umaga to have a belt to compliment Lashleys, and to make him look strong. And to get the title off Jeff for a variety of other reasons.

I want Jeff to win, and I can see it happening, but I have a hard time believing they plan on having him win it when Edge and Orton are in there too.

- The direction of the Undertaker vs. Batista match has apparently changed. The original idea was for Batista to end the Undertaker’s Wrestlemania winning streak, but now, it appears more likely that the Undertaker will prevail at Wrestlemania 23.

Bullshit. I really doubt that. Way to cover your ass though.

No, I mean you would have:
Booker
Edge
Cm Punk
Matt Hardy
Jeff Hardy
Shelton Benjamin
Sabu
Kennedy

Seeing as how the first two winners used the MITB to challenge Cena, I wouldn't be surprised if this year's winner went after the Smackdown champ after Mania. Maybe Kennedy or Booker T? Although logically, there's no way in hell that anyone in their right mind would rather face Undertaker than Cena....but that's why it makes perfect sense for it to happen in WWE.

Although, I'd really like to see Booker win and move to Raw. Raw needs a solid heel and I think he could have a great feud with either Cena or HBK.

You mean you're calling bullshit to the whole thing, or just the part you emphasized in bold print?

Remember though, they could always leave it until Taker or Cena lose their titles as they can leave it until anytime before WM.

Two scenarios come to mind, actually more.

Booker wins it, Booker and Kennedy fight over it in a best of seven that sees Kennedy seem to win in the seventh but the decision gets over-turned and Booker challenges probably at the King of the Ring.

Orton or Edge wins, they fight that out for a while and end Rated RKO.

How about Orton AND Edge win? Yeah. A tie in a ladder match match. That would be kinda cool, just for prosperity.

MY MOTHER WAS A SAINT!

Good news to hear Batista losing. I hope it holds true.

True. I just hope they don't have the winner hold onto it as long as Edge did though. I know he ended up winning the title, but that seriously made him seem like a gigantic puss bag.

With the way Kennedy has been getting owned, I could see him winning and cashing in at Mania following the Batista/Taker match....only to lose.

^ I think its too soon for Kennedy to win it, he should win it next year as a face, and I wouldn't give it to King Booker as the purpose of this is to create new stars, so the only logical choice really is Cm Punk. I could see them using this as a way to move CM Punk over to Raw actually.

Lol. I like that you think he could get the MitB because he's losing. . .then lose when he cashes in the title shot.

Well, if Punk does win..I hope to GOD they don't have him waste it on challenging Lashley for the ECW title. Seeing as how Vince is intent on pushing ECW at the moment, this could happen. Although, I can't really see them wasting the MITB storyline on ECW.

I'd like to see Punk on Raw. Straight Edged Punk vs. Fallen Coked Up Angel HBK? Hey, a man can dream right....
