sorry, but if they were going to put hbk or edge over, then they wouldve had cena win, although i do see what your saying. from what ive heard vince sees cena as a long term champ, so he will most likely have a title run that is relatively long. not that it hasnt gone long enough, i think he needs to drop the belt off to someone, but at the current pace, i wouldnt mind him holding the title until summerslam, at that point kennedy needs to cash in his mitb and win the title.

it's about 1 hour...The match is very interesting..You can go to wwwe.com and see...
Thanks, i just downloaded it off a torrent. I missed raw, tv show usually suck but ppvs are usually ok.
What is shocking is that they spent an hour, when thier WM match was a half hour. What is also interesting, is if they were planning on for having such a classic memorable main event, then why wasnt it advertised more? Like I said in another thread, I think this was the WWE and John Cena's way of giving back to Shawn Michaels since he did the job at WM. I think this match might have done a good job of selling the match tonight, giving some fans the thought that John Cena could possibly lose the championship.
A bout between welterweight contenders who are looking to get back in the win column is in the works for UFC 139.
UFC officials today announced Martin Kampmann (17-5 MMA, 8-4 UFC) and Rick Story (13-4 MMA, 6-2 UFC) have agreed to meet at the Nov. 19 event.
UFC 139 takes place in San Jose, Calif., likely at the HP Pavilion.
The night's main card, including an expected heavyweight title fight between champion Cain Velasquez and top contender Junior Dos Santos, airs on pay-per-view. Kampmann vs. Story likely will be part of the PPV broadcast or an expected "UFC Prelims" special on Spike TV.
Both fighters are coming off high-profile losses.
While stuck in a two-fight losing skid, Kampmann easily could have won both bouts. Following a streak of four wins in five bouts, Kampmann suffered a close split-decision defeat to Jake Shields at UFC 121. Then, earlier this year in the headliner of UFC on Versus 3, the Xtreme Couture fighter suffered a close unanimous-decision defeat to Diego Sanchez in a "Fight of the Night" performance.
Kampmann had been slated to fight John Howard at UFC on Versus 4 but was forced off the June card due to injury.
Story, meanwhile, recently fought and suffered a unanimous-decision loss to Charlie Brenneman in the UFC on Versus 4 headliner. Story expected to fight Nate Marquardt at the event, but his opponent was scratched from the card on the eve of the event after failing to receive medical clearance (high testosterone levels).
Prior to the defeat, Story, a Brave Legion team member, had five straight fights (over the likes of Johny Hendricks and Thiago Alves) and was knocking on the door for a title shot.
