ECW Thread (1-15-07): Extreme Cutting Edge

[Mr. Pierre]

I like options #1 and #3, but I just can't see Taker vs. Edge not happening at Mania. The seeds were planted all the way back in May.

I think an Extreme Rules defense for Punk is way overdue, and now would make the most sense with some nice build, since Punk and Chavo haven't had a pinfall finish yet. So I can definitely see that as a possibility, and I really like it.

To be honest though, Edge/Punk would be great, but being a huge Taker mark, and with the amount of build it's been given (and will potentially get) I wanna see Edge/Taker happen.

I definitely think Edge/Taker will happen, but I'm not as big an advocate for it as you. The build has been going for a while, but the way it has been developing on SmackDown!: It feels like the feud could be blown off at No Way Out in a Triple Threat with Batista.

The only reason I don't think it would happen, is if Taker gets too banged up. I read a house show report where he apparently looked really banged up after the match. If Vince does not feel like he can put the belt back on Taker safely, even with all Taker's pull, I think it would be decided to either have him sit Mania out, or just beat Matt Striker, Big Daddy V and/or Mark Henry in a squash, and go 16-0.
