HBK/Taker match?

[JurassicBonez]

Why are there a lot of people saying that Taker and HBK are going to have a match at WM? I know people may want to see it, but why now? Why at this WM? It's starting to turn into the whole Christian situation with people going for the least common factor in getting these two in a match. Stuff that doesn't even make since. I know they had that little moment at the Rumble I think it was but still. And yes I know that Taker is going to be on RAW next week.

But I've seen people say that JBL is going to pay HBK to beat Taker at mania. I've seen JBL is going to pay Taker to beat HBK at mania. This one made no since at all, but Taker is going to fight HBK for his freedom of the contract. There's "The seeds have been planted" talk too. What seeds? Just illogical stuff. I could see something like this happen somewhere down the line, but not with a month in a half to go til mania. HBK representing RAW and Taker representing Smackdown would be the only way I see these two having a match at this mania that would make since, but nobody's saying/said that.

So why are so many people so hell bent that these two will have a match at this mania? And what logical way would these two meet at mania that would make since?

Like I have said, HBK vs JBL made more sense for Mania.

I just think that people are craving for this match so much that at every possible (or imposible) scenario that they see forming, they jump the gun and predict the match.

TBF however, HBK vs Taker could happen this year. No, not because their little sketch backstage, because that was made just to tease the IWC, I'm sure, but because if WWE wanted to give us this match, they could give it know and make it fit in the storyline (no, not with that stupid "JBL will pay Taker" shit somone proposed)


That's mainly it. People want HBK vs Taker so bad that thet are constantly looking for scenarios for it to happen, and since now it seems possible that it could happen, we're getting bombed with scenarios for the feud to happen

Ahem....

I called exactly that at least a month ago! (Can't be arsed to link to the post again).

One thing I'm pretty 'sure' about is that Shawn won't be winning his 'freedom' at NWO.


In the interests of avoiding any further C*******n-like ridiculousness, I'll leave it be... We'll find out for sure within a few weeks.

C*******n-

What is that exactly?
I think we will have taker vs hbk its just a given. yes i have no proof or thinking what the net says but i think in my heart it will and should happen. Hbk vs jbl is not wm25 caliber it wont be a good match up. Taker vs who? Not umaga yet its to early and hes fighting yang on smackdown. Im out of ideas at the moment but that's the reason why people are saying these two will collide. Its inevitable

 

[Hardcastle]

I think this raw could help us to have an idea. taker will appear on Raw, and if this time they do something backstage with him and HBk, it wouldn't be a surprise to see them wrestle at WM.

You said HBKvsJBL is not wm caliber, but i think it is. They have done a great job with this feud, they made me want HBK to kick JBl's ass. And Shawn can't have a four stars match with almost everybody, I'm sure it would have been a good match.

 

[Airfixx]

If chosen, with this storyline and build, HBK v JBL is more than WM-worthy...

If only the rest of the matches were to be subject to such build!

 

[JurassicBonez]

How would HBK v JBL not be WM worthy? There rivary/partnership has been going on since December. What other feud besides the Edge/Triple H/Big Show feud has been going on for that long? What other feud would have a build-up like that? People are saying HBK/Taker would be better but for what? There's no build-up to it at all. A match like that would need more build up than just a month.

Yes, Taker v HBK is something people want to see. Yes, that's a match that more than likley happen within the next 12 months. Not in a month. Like I said, the only way I see them having a match at mania is if HBK is representing RAW, and Taker is representing Smackdown. And now that I think about it, the only way that would work is if HBK beats JBL at NWO. Because why would JBL want somebody else representing the brand he's on, when if it's Shawn, he can just tell him "NO, I'm doing it, but you'll be in my corner".

From another thread.....

Am I the only one to think that maybe JBL is gonna win at NWO and then will force HBK to attack taker because he tried to make him do the right thing ? we could have this great HBK/Taker match without stopping the good storyline between JBL and the boy toy

This is exactly what I'm talking about. No I'm picking on the guy, or calling him out or anything but that wouldn't make since. How many other people have tried to get Shawn to "do the right thing"? Why is just because it's Taker, JBL wants HBK to end the streak. Cena spent what a month trying to get HBK to do the right thing. He got beat up over it with trying to persuade him. Wouldn't JBL want Shawn to beat Cena for the belt and make hiself the #1 contender, rather than going after Taker and gaining absolutly nothing out of it?

Honestly, right now I think JBK/HBK is more Mania worthy than Taker/HBK. We've had such an incredible storyline building towards an epic showdown how could anyone not think it's Mania worthy. HBK/Taker would simply be for the novelty of it. How much of an interesting match could they possibly build in a month between two faces on two different brands.
HBK/JBL is the way to go this year for Mania, its a compelling storyline and although HBK/Taker may technically get a bigger draw...Taker could go up against HHH for the exact same effect without compromising the end of this incredible feud.

 

[taikimoto]

Have to agree the HBK/JBL match up would draw
more interest since they have dragged out
this storyline for so long.

 

[LKP]

Slow burning feuds are the best though. Trish vs Mickie was a good build for WM 22. Hbk vs Jbl, hbk vs y2j. I hope that this years wrestle mania will be the best one ever.

With all due respect J-Bonez, I've pretty been fighting a solo fight for the last month or so knocking back both ctiticism of the HBK/JBL storyline and knocking back desperately ill-conceived angle after another regarding HBK/Taker... Now everyone's slowly coming round to the goodness on offer, you could be a little more tollerant considering you haven't long since changed your tune yourself.


HBK/Taker is scriptable and bookable WITHOUT trashing the existing HBK/JBL storyline... Just a question of wait and see IF WWE decide to go with it or not.

I mean no disrespect towards you Airfixx, but changed my tune on what? The whole Taker/HBK mania thing? I never thought they'd have a match at this mania. Next one maybe but not this one. As for the HBK/JBL storyline, I questioned it during the beginning because I didn't understand how of all people HBK would be broke. But that was understood as it went on. As for the recent turn of events in their program with JBL's proposal, I still don't understand it. Which is why I made the thread to see what people's in put on it was. With this thread, I asking why people are taking the least common factor and making off the wall predictions or so hell bent on HBK and Taker meeting at this mania. It's the same situation with Christian. With people making off the wall statements regarding him, Matt, Jeff, and Edge. I'm not criticizing anyone, just wanting to see how/why they think HBK and Taker will meet at this mania and it make since.

 

[Airfixx]

The storyline you were criticising hasn't changed, only your preception of it... That's fine, but much the same you are on shakey ground when it comes to condemning the ideas of others when you'd appear to have struggled to peice it all together yourself.

(There's too many similar threads to this for me to start picking quotes out of individual posts - I trust that anyone who gives a damn enough, will seek them out themselves and call me out if I'm out of line.)

Edit:...But here's a thread YOU started: http://www.impactwrestling.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29978

 

[JurassicBonez]

I know that storyline hasn't changed. That's why I said in my previous post, the recent turn of events, meaning the new twist toward that storyline, I didn't understand, I thought it made no since. I stated what the new addition in the storyline was, what I didn't understand, and why I didn't like it. And asked what others thought of it and if I was the only one that felt that way.

This thread I'm asking why people are looking for the least common factor regarding Taker and HBK meeting at mania. As I don't see it happening. Is that condemning ideas of others when I don't agree with them and state why? Isn't why we are on the forums to begin with. Haven't you your self and others done pretty much the same I'm doing but with Christian and his involvement with Edge, Matt, and Jeff within the past 2 or so weeks?

 

[Airfixx]

Moving fwds....

...Why people are looking for the least common factor regarding Taker and HBK meeting at mania?"

As with on-going C*******n speculation peeps are being hysterical (for want of a better expression) - Because they want to see X or Y so badly or want to be seen to be the smart one with the best-est answer, all logical thought goes out of the window.

This is why I've been a bit of a mardy bastard on here the last couple of days... It doesn't so much feel like rampant enthusiasm as it does 'smart-ass syndrome' and it's getting very very irritating.
