TPWW Forums - View Single Post - How should Taker/Orton at Mania be booked? *Poss. Spoilers*

I really won't lose any sleep if Orton doesn't go over at WrestleMania, but I do feel strongly that he should. I would have done a few little things to make the feud a bit different so far, though.

I didn't particularly like how Eric Bischoff just OK'd Randy's challenge. It would have made more sense for Eric Bischoff to come out and start telling Orton he's crazy and that Taker would kick his ass. Orton then goes into how people probably told Eric Bischoff he was crazy when he tried to kill the WWE. He then feeds Bischoff's ego until Eric decides Orton does have that flame in his eyes that Bischoff had. EB OKs the match, and we are just awaiting The Undertaker and Theodore R. Long's answers. You can then have Randy RKO Eric Bischoff, or you can have Eric start supporting Orton through the coming weeks.

On SmackDown!, Theodore Long is heading to his office, and when he enters he flicks on the light, only to find dead animals hanging from the ceiling. For some reason Teddy Long suspects Carlito Caribbean Cool had something to do with this, but Carlito denies it. He says that The Undertaker has a reputation of toying with death. Maybe it was him? Teddy then says that Carlito will get the blame for it unless CCC finds out for sure who did it. Carlito is a little disgruntled, but he goes off to complete his assignment.

Maybe you can have Carlito go around the lockerrooms questioning guys like Hardcore Holly by asking them if the animals were too new around the lockerroom for your tastes, etc. just to keep the angle semi-focus of the show? Anyway Cool heads to the ring later in the night and calls out The Undertaker, because he knows he was the one who hung the animals in Teddy Long's office. The Undertaker grants Carlito his presence and is about to punish Carlito for accusing him when throught the crowd comes a man dressed comepletely in black, complete with a mask. The masked man attacks The Undertaker from behind with a steel chair, the masked man and Carlito then take turns to deliver the Overdrive to the Dead Man. The masked man then unmasks and is revealed to be Randy Orton complete with signature posing, now awesome due to the heat he would be getting. Carlito then says he's got a good idea who hung the animals in the office.

Then basically over the weeks you have Randy Orton and Eric Bischoff working together to give Orton the best chance of victory at WrestleMania, while Taker performs rituals and stuff to get his point that Orton will lose at Mania over.

In the match, you have both guys get in a lot of offense, with Randy Orton eventually countering the Last Ride, Tombstone or Chokeslam into the RKO. Maybe even have the TCB countered at some stage. I could see Orton hitting three RKOs, with Taker still kicking out, then the fourth getting it done. But anyway, Orton then kicks Taker's ass after the match.

Before the match, you could have Orton interrupt the Hall of Fame segemtn they'll probably run, and have him go wild with a steel chair or something. Hitting everyone, including his father. I'd rather see this used to give Muhammad Hassan something to do, though.

In the main event, for some reason I can see Randy Orton running down after the ref's been knocked out, and RKOing Batista so Triple H can make the cover and retain the World Heavyweight Championship. It could be a mistake, but I can see it happening.
