2010 Pro Wrestling Thread

I don't think it will be an entire PPV of MITB matches any more than the Royal Rumble features on battle royal matches.

 

Branding the PPVs with the names of certain matches (Elimination Chamber, HIAC, etc.) is more tied to the main event(s), not the entire card, so there's almost no way they'd do three hours of MITB matches. I could see them doing something with a bunch of qualifying matches through the night, followed by the winners going to MITB in the main event.

(Oh, who am I kidding? They're just trying to find another way to give us a main event involving HHH, Cena, Orton and Undertaker.)

 

Would they change the stipulation of the MITB match at Wrestlemania? Instead of anytime, anywhere, maybe make it a title shot at the MITB pay per view?

 

From what I'm reading, they won't have a MITB match at WM this year. I would guess they'll either have one MITB match with the same stipulations (any champion, any time), or a Raw and a Smackdown match with the winner getting an any time, any place match against that brand's champion. Based on the other themed PPVs (including tonight's Elimination Chamber), I'd be willing to wager the latter.

 

That sucks. MITB was a great fit for Wrestlemania -- a high-energy, spot-filled match to get the show going, plus it gave the mid-carders a real opportunity to shine. It's a big loss for that show, in my ohumble opinion.

 

Yeah, why the heck is Vince messing around with something good?

Oh wait ... (Invasion angle, ECW ...)

 

I'll react to this in one word: FUCK.

There were 2 reasons to watch WM25: MITB, and HBK/Taker. Right now, there's 1 to watch WM26: Edge. Hopefully that'll change after tonight.

 

I don't know what Vince is going for, but it's motivating me more by the week to watch TNA exclusively.

 

I have an audio feed off Justin TV, but no video. Apparently Dibiase just eliminated Orton in the Raw chamber match.

 

So far in the WWE title match:
--DiBiase eliminated Orton (via pipe from Rhodes)
--Kofi eliminated DiBiase
--Sheamus eliminated Kofi
--Trips *just* put Sheamus' reign to a merciful end

 

Cena wins.
Dammit.

 

Aaand here comes Vinnie Mac.
