I'm more worried about the Monarch of the Mat interfering

IF they're bringing back Wargames, you have the ready made feud for Survivor Series (or whatever's replacing it) if they go the screw job route. Team Shawn vs Team Bret.
It makes more sense than I thought, honestly. |

See, the only problem I have with that is that it just won't count for anything. At least if there's some controversy, they can bring him back without shitting on the match, which, if it's clean, it will.
That's my whole problem with the match stipulations in and of itself. If Taker loses, he loses something that will be on his record forever. If Shawn loses, he "retires". If he ever decides to break the retirement it cheapens the moment and makes the outcome meaningless. Shawn risks nothing in this match, realistically. Taker has everything to lose and nothing to gain. |

What if Shawn loses the match cleanly and really does retire for good?

I'd say that's fine.
But let's be realistic here. That isn't the case. He's still in decent ring shape at worst. I would be utterly shocked if he lost clean and never wrestled another match, tag included. |

I agree that a Shawn Michaels retirement would normally be under different circumstances, but there's always the possibility that he just wants to hang it up and move on with his family, and doesn't care about the sendoff.
I think we'll be able to get an idea of how legit everything is based on how the end of the match goes, and the reaction the next night on Raw. |

After watching Smackdown and watching the 10 man tag match, I don't think Christian will win. I think Kofi is going to win and they're going to push him instead. I would love to see Christian win, but I don't think it'll happen. Though who knows, I mean it's a real toss up.
Though I'm sure we can all agree Kane and Evan Bourne won't win. |

If Shawn does lose, he needs to be the first person to go and stay gone. He would further cement his legacy as the greatest performer ever if he could actually keep a promise like that.

trust me, I think WWE are going to do
something unpredictable this year (with Christian). And Christian really does need a push.... Edge maybe a face right now but think about it Christian vs Edge would be like Austin vs The Rock.. |

Christian winning is not "unpredictable". He's been the favorite for weeks.

On HBK/ Taker: I agree with Xero. The stip is stupid. They should've just let them have the match, maybe with a different build up leading to Taker accepting. HBK retiring for good would just be sad honestly, as he's one of the few guys that can still tell a story, or is allowed to rather. One of the best sellers in the business, and all around awesome performer. Everyone thought he'd never step in the ring again after the Austin match, and honestly, when has he had a bad match since he's been back? The man is too damn good to hang it up forever.
On MiTB: Christian's the favorite. Drew's Vince's pet. I look at it like this: Drew's still too green, but apparently WWE likes that in their performers these days. I'm calling it for Xtian, but Drew wouldn't suprise me one bit. Either way it's predictable. The only question is who of the two of them will take the case. I'd rather see the Captain pull it off, because as stated he's got so much history with both men in the WHC match. It's just too good to pass on, which is exactly why I think WWE will. |

Edge vs. Christian would in no way be like Austin vs. Rock. Let's be realistic here. Also, I think Edge has to beat Jericho so his face run doesn't look entirely like a foetus.

Kofi Kingston being included in Money in the Bank is weird to me. There's something up with it. This talk of heat might be all smoke. He's a rising star in the WWE, and the only reason he isn't the best choice to win is because he has "heat" on him. Didn't CM Punk have the same thing going on when he won...twice?

I think Christian will eventually get to the top, for the record. I'd like to see him get there via means other than Money in the Bank, however. For example: being screwed out of Money in the Bank itself could begin a quest for Christian to obtain the WWE Championship.
The perfect outcome to MITB at WMXXVI, for me, is Christian being the first to reach the top of the ladder, but before he can pull down the briefcase, it is raised to the ceiling and Christian cannot get it. The same thing happens with Shelton Benjamin a little later in the match (giving him a little bit of a nod for his hard work in MITB matches). Drew McIntyre is the third man to get to the position where it looks like he will win, and the briefcase comes down for him. Michael Cole talks about how Vince McMahon had stagehands rig the match so his golden boy won. Christian doesn't take this lying down, however (nor does Shelton Benjamin). A short feud between Drew McIntyre and Benjamin on SmackDown! sees the Intercontinental Title change hands (perhaps with help from Christian). We could even get some Vince McMahon/Christian encounters, with McMahon telling Christian that Drew has something he never will. At Extreme Rules or Over the Limit, you can do a match between Drew McIntyre, Christian and Shelton Benjamin with both the briefcase and the Intercontinental Title on the line -- perhaps with two falls, or something like that. |

I'm calling this:
After Wrestlemania we'll have a champion that is Canadian. That's from an inside source. |

![]() As I've said before, I am really curious as to see how this event goes in Canada, actually. Edge challenging Chris Jericho, Bret Hart beating up Vince McMahon, Christian being a favourite to win MITB, and some hot Canadian girls being featured -- I can see it doing quite well. |

Wrestlemania 28 is slated to take place in Toronto. Imagine if they held off on Edge vs Christian until then?
I'm not suggesting it would "main event", but it could be the second title match like Edge vs Jericho is this year. I don't think they would, or should hold off on it until then though. The two aren't getting any younger, and they could use a hot program like that this year or next. |

That would be pretty intense. Edge vs. Christian in Toronto would be magic. Two Toronto boys fighting -- there's your simple story. They don't need to hold it off, though -- I imagine it would do well enough even if they feuded for years. I'd personally have Edge holding the title and Christian winning the 2012 Royal Rumble to challenge.
But if they did hold off, I could imagine them putting Edge & Christian in a tag team match of sorts at WrestleMania XXVII, which could begin the story to their match. |
