Fine. Just because I owe you. I don't think I've seen your opinion on this HBK/Taker shit, who's gonna win/lose or is it gonna be some shitty DQ? What will Orton truly be doing at WM? Really facing Legacy?
Thought I mentioned elsewhere that while the gimmick makes it more interesting, it is hardly fair. Career vs Career. Would have put a whole new spin on things. The fact that it isn't that stipulation, leads me to believe that somehow it
is going to be a shitty DQ. Or maybe have them both outside the ring and unable to continue. I don't really see them allowing HBK to walk away at this point when he undoubtedly still has some good matches left in him. On the other hand, I don't see them letting go of the streak at this point either. I'm trying really hard not to read too much into it because I can't really think of a good way for it to end. I'm in a bad spot because I don't want Shawn to leave, I don't want the streak to end under these circumstances, and that only leaves crappy options to get out of both which will = a bad match. Seems like an effed up situation all around.
I actually thought that at some point Orton may enter $ITB, but then decided I didn't like that idea because I really think that Christian should win it this year. I don't see a way out of Orton facing Legacy at Mania, and even though I can imagine better matches, I think it needs to be done to put the emphasis on the break up so everyone involved can move on. I just don't believe that Legacy can stay afloat without Orton. Without the Legacy angle they would have inevitably floundered by this point and become obsolete. Orton is what has held them in view up to this point and I don't think they are ready to go out on their own. So I'm thinking some type of swerve may happen involving this match. What, I don't know though. Seems kind of loss/loss too.
Randy Orton vs. Ted Dibiase Jr. with Rhodes as Special Guest Enforcer.
HBK/TAKER II is shitty. HBK/TAKER II with the crazy stipulation is great. I honestly don't know who's winning it. HBK has a good chance, and I think he has one more title reign in him. On the other hand, Taker just gets even more boring by the second, and has enough title reigns. He's done it all.
I believe Shawn still has a lot to offer as well. They've played out this 'my career is all but over' angle way too much for me to believe it isn't a work.
Taker, yeah he has done everything the business has to offer. I just don't see him leaving anytime soon, or they WOULD have made it a career vs career. I think we will be able to judge fairly accurately how close Taker is to retirement by seeing what happens at this match at Mania. If the streak ends, I think he will definitely be leaving sometime in the near future. I believe he wouldn't give that up unless he already had one foot out of the door.
Do you think that the WWE has plans to somehow get Punk in the title picture or are they going to have him and Gallows win the tag teams belts?
