Why is the prospect of Viscera vs Nova a "newswoprthy" item?
If Rock can do a match at Mania, and they dont go with Orton vs HHH, then hell yeah I would do Orton vs Rock.
I see what LC is saying about face vs face being tricky, but if the fans want to turn Orton heel, I say let them. However, I kinda have a feeling the fans might be behind Orton in the actual match. The thing about Mania is that you are going to have a very smarky crowd, much like there was at the Garden last year. Those are the people that seem to be against The Rock, at least in the sense that they will boo him. But those are also the same people who would likely boo a babyface Randy Orton, so it would be interesting if nothing else.
Think about this, if they did go to Batista vs HHH for the title (which I really hope they do), and then Batista gets the title, and Randy beats Rock and in the process starts a heel turn, they could probably start up a decent little program between Batsita (face) and Orton (heel). Especially if they have Orton beat Batista at the Rumble, Orton could say "hey I beat you before, I'll do it again".
As for Snitsky vs Rock, I think that should only be done for comedy purposes.
Regarding SD, I think Big Show-Taker would be a fine program, but NOT for the WWE title. I actually wouldn't mind seeing Show win the WWE title, but I really think Taker's value as a top guy is very low right now. I think they should do Show vs JBL for the Rumble and No Way Out, and maybe even have Show beat JBL for the WWE title in Iraq as a way to kick start the program (JBL wins it back at Rumble, they have a rubber match at NWO where JBL retains).
Llong term, I wouldn't use Show or Taker as champ, I just dont think they can draw anymore. If they do want a babyface champ coming out of Mania, it should be Eddie (because it LA, and he's the only guy on the brand who draws) or Cena. But with Cena, I think it might be a few months too early. Although, if they wanted to, they could easily push him as the top guy in the company, he's over enough for the spot. However, I also think if they could wait till SS 05 or Mania 22, and protect him in the meantime, it would be even more valuable to put the title on Cena then.
