The more I think about, the more I LOVE the idea (and the more I'm gonna be PISSED at you, when it doesn't go down ).


Here's what I'd argue:

If Jericho were to become the World Champion next week, he would eventually get his 2000-like popularity back...........even if he, as World Champion, still got less TV time than Triple H and/or Orton.

Call me crazy, but I believe that to be true. It's pretty hard to ignore the fact that Jericho's popularity in 2000, was second to only The Rock's (who was at his peak).



Having said that...................I've drawn two scenerios. One scenerio is what I THINK will happen...........and the other is what I WANT (as of last night) to happen.



What I think will happen:

-Triple H will hold the title until Wrestlemania.
-Randy Orton will win the Royal Rumble
-Randy Orton will defeat Triple H at Wrestlemania to win the World title.

The card:

-Main-event: Randy Orton vs. Triple H
-women's match
-Smackdown main-event
-match
-Match involving The Rock
-match
-match
-etc.

Here's what I wouldn't mind seeing happen:

-Chris Jericho defeats Triple H next week on RAW thanks to Orton interference.

-Undertaker defeats Guerrero, JBL, and Booker T to become champ (until Wrestlemania, he follows this up with individual victories over each of these 3 men).

-Orton and Triple H continuosly prevent each other from winning the World titles.

-Jericho continues to get "built up" to the point where he regains his 2000-like popularity. He defeats Batista, Gene Snitsky, and a return victory over Benjamin.

-At Royal Rumble, Jericho wins a triple threat match over Orton and Triple H (it looks "slightly flukey" however....thanks to Triple H and Orton focusing too much on one another).

-John Cena wins the Royal Rumble.

-Edge somehow becomes the #1 contender for Jericho's (a tournament is held to see who becomes #1 contender). In this tournament, Edge defeats Benoit, Orton (with Triple H interference), and Benjamin (who defeats Triple H thanks to Orton interference) to become #1 contender. After this tournament, it is announced that Orton and Triple H will face one another at Wrestlemania!



The Card:

-Smackdown WWE title: John Cena vs. Undertaker
-women's match
-Randy Orton vs. Triple H
-match
-Match involving The Rock
-match
-Raw World title: Chris Jericho vs. Edge
-match
-match
-etc


Why "my way" works out better than what will "most likely" happen:


-John Cena, Edge, and Jericho become (or in Jericho's case, re-establish) bona-fide main-event superstars.

-Jericho regains his 2000-like overness and popularity due to being the World champ

-Edge finally wins "the big one"

-John Cena goes over big time, by winning the main-event of the show......and by ending Undertaker's WM winning streak.

-Randy Orton "goes over" by cleanly defeating Triple H.




I guess in "my scenerio" (or my line of thinking) - does Orton really NEED to win the World title at Wrestlemania?..............or does he just need a CLEAN VICTORY over Triple H? (in terms of establishing mega-credibility with the fans).

Since Orton has already been the World Champ, I'd have to go with the 'latter'.

Atleast in my scenerio, you "elevate" 3 more stars (Cena, Jericho, Edge).

Orton is already "on that level" so to speak. I would argue that winning the world title for him at Mania isn't all that important (since he's already done it). A clean victory over Triple H should achieve the "desired effect".




p.s. One last point: Triple H vs. Orton has already been done (which is why I REALLY hope that they are NOT the main-event for Wrestlemania).
