DISCUSSION - Here is my WRESTLEMANIA Card (and why I feel/hope it shapes this way)

**Heyman** · 01-16-2004, 12:35 AM

NOTE TO MODS/POSTERS: I realize this thread has been done numerous times in the (recent) past, but I'd still like to post this anyways. If you feel this thread is "extraneous", feel free to delete it. I will save a copy of this, and post it on my column (entitled "Mass Debate".....ARTIST is my other alias for those that don't know

Kurt Angle vs. Eddie Guerrero

Eddie faces Chavo at Royal Rumble (if I'm not mistaken). Much to everyone's surprise however, Angle HELPS Chavo Guerrero by attacking Eddie. Chavo ends up getting a pinfall victory (although the next SD, Eddie gets a return victory). Angle explains his actions that HE (not Eddie) is the top fan-favorite on Smackdown. Angle explains that Eddie was trying to steal his fanfare and lime light in his absense. So basically - Angle turns heel. The two men have a match at mania', where Angle defeats Guerrero with the ankle lock submission. Guerrero gets a return victory (by "lying, cheating, and stealing!" a month later)

Big Show vs. Chris Benoit vs. Hardcore Holly vs. Matt Morgan (United States title)

This sucks for Chris Benoit because he deserves a MUCH better match than this, but he ends up winning the US title anyways (with the Crossface over Matt Morgan). Benoit takes on Show the next month, and beats him cleanly as well.

John Cena vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin:

As part of the package deal for Goldberg, John Cena gets traded to Raw. Cena, while impressive on his debut, seems to have some beef with Stone Cold (Cena shows the tape where Austin stunned him in Baghdad). Austin and Cena try to put aside their differences, but things don't go as planned.

As result, Austin comes out of retirement for one last time to face John Cena (who has now slowly turned heel).

At Wrestlemania, Cena and Austin have a great match. Austin wins in the end with the Stone Cold Stunner. After the match, a frustrated John Cena attacks Austin. Cena hits Austin's neck with a chair. The WWE do an angle where Austin has to leave with paramedics. Due to Austin's severe injury, Austin leaves WWE TV (again) for a long period of time. His (ridiculous) role as sheriff comes to an end.

Rey Mysterio vs. Taijiri (Cruiserweight title):

Standard Cruiserweight match where Mysterio defeats Taijiri.

Chris Jericho/Edge/Buh Buh Ray w/Trish vs. Christian/Matt Hardy/D'Von Dudley

-Edge comes to Raw as part of the package deal involing Kane and Goldberg. Edge requests to be a part of the deal because it turned out that Christian was the one who injured Edge's neck (on that SD PPV, Christian stalked Edge and took him out.......many people of which thought it was Hass/Benjamin/Angle).

Christian is also at odds with Chris Jericho who is now fully committed to Trish Stratus.

In other developments, D'Von and Buh Buh Ray Dudley have a 'falling out' (after they job to Flair/Batista for the tag titles). D'Von turns heel.

Christian, Matt Hardy, and D'Von form a "TLC" stable. They cut promos on how THEY made the TLC matches famous........and how they deserve to be main-event superstars on Raw. Edge, Jericho, and Buh Buh take exception to that and challenge the trio to a TLC match at Wrestlemania.

The winner of the match gets a paycheck of sorts (I can't think of anything better.

-).

In the end, Edge climbs the ladder to win the paycheck for his team (Edge doesn't take bumps during this match to protect his neck).

Basham Brothers vs. Billy Gunn and Chuck Pulumbo

Billy Gunn and Chuck Pulumno re-unite! They go on to defeat the Bashams to reclaim the tag team titles.

Shawn Michaels vs. Rob Van Dam (Ladder Match - Intercontinental title)

Eric Bischoff decides to make this match for the hell of it. Between Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania, RVD and Shawn Michaels develop a decent friendship. Bischoff decides to manipulate the situation by making a ladder match between the two men. The two have a great match at Wrestlemania, but RVD comes out on top in the end. After the match, the two men shake hands and embrace. After Wrestlemania, HBK becomes a 'mentor' of sorts to RVD.......and persuades him to find the inner drive to go after the World title.

Undertaker vs. Kane:

Taker comes back at Royal Rumble and takes out Kane (eliminating him from the Royal Rumble). Like Goldberg, Kane jumps to Smackdown in pursuit of his nemesis. The two have another epic match at Wrestlemania, but Undertaker once again comes out on top.

After Wrestlemania, their feud continues. Kane lights Sarah on fire (yeah I know, corny as shit, but hey.

-), and the two have a return match. Kane finally defeats Taker cleanly at the next PPV.

Mick Foley vs. Randy Orton (Street fight):

Orton is seething over the fact that Foley caused Orton to 'pass out' in the tag match between Rock N' Sock/Evolution a month earlier. Orton and Foley go one-on-one at Mania. Randy Orton defeats Mick Foley cleanly in the end. Orton truly establishes himself as a "Legend Killer". A month later, Orton adds to his legacy when he defeats The Rock cleanly to become World Champion. After that?

Eventually, Orton also turns on Triple H (happens after Wrestlemania) and Ric Flair (after the PPV after Mania), and becomes the new leader of Evolution (with Dave Batista, Sean O'Haire, and a newly added John Cena).

The Rock vs. Triple H (World Title):

Much to everyone's surprise, The Rock makes an entry into the Royal Rumble. The Rock ends up laying the Smacketh Down on everyone's candy ass....and wins the Rumble in the process

. The Rock then gets his match with Triple H at Wrestlemania. A month before mania however, The Rock and Mick Foley have a match with Triple H and Randy Orton. The Rock and Sock Connection end up getting a win over Evolution when Foley puts "Mr. Socko" on Orton.

Victoria w/Steven Richards vs. Jazz w/Mark Henry&Theodore Long

The know strong face Victoria defeats Jazz to become new Women's champion.

Anyways - The Rock goes on to defeat Triple H to win the World title (Triple H probably won't job cleanly, and so I'll say that Randy Orton 'screws up' and costs Triple H the title). The next night on Raw, Triple H confronts Evolution....and Randy Orton. Evolution beat the snot out of Triple H. Triple H leaves TV for a month or so.

The next month, The Rock faces Randy Orton for the World title. Orton defeats The Rock cleanly to become the new World Champion. The Rock once again leaves for the movies.

Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg (WWE title):

At the Royal Rumble (joint PPV effort), Lesnar confronts Goldberg (if you recall, Goldberg punked out Lesnar the last time the rosters had a joint PPV). The two men have a stare down. Lesnar goes on to defeat Hardcore Holly quiet easily. During the rumble, Goldberg seems to be dominating everyone. When Goldberg least expects it however, Lesnar comes out. Lesnar (not part of the rumble) interferes and helps Goldberg get eliminated. Furious - Goldberg demads a trade from Raw the next night. He heads over to Smackdown to begin a program with Lesnar......which culminates at Wrestlemania. After a hard fought match, Lesnar defeats Goldberg cleanly.
