Orton vs. Bryan

[Danielson]

So, whatever happens and whoever wins the title at HIAC (if anybody actually does this month), I'll be interested to see how it plays into the storylines coming out of HIAC.

I think it's going to be a great ending to what I deem a pretty great feud. The only part that I didn't like was when they inserted Brie into the fold, but that aside it's been a great ride for me as a fan. You know why I got mad when Bryan didn't win? Because they did something I didn't want to happen. They actually pissed me off, which hasn't really happened in awhile for me. This match win/lose Bryan has cemented himself as a legit maineventer IMO. That's all I think his fans want from him. Also, Heel orton? That's what we've been wanting for over a year. We basically got everything we wanted ( Outside of brie)

I get this. There have been times in my life watching WWE/WCW/whatever when I've gotten pissed at a match result, promo, etc., because they didn't make sense. And while I didn't like (I actually like the mixing of reality with fantasy by bringing Brie into the feud, but that's just me) the Orton cash-in because of its predictability, I did like the unpredictability of HHH turning heel on us and the way they've told the story since.

Also, a huge second on Bryan cementing his position and being happy about us having a heel Orton again.

Basically, I'm a happy guy right now because I'm just enjoying (most of) the storytelling. :happy:

You're right about the cross over appeal of brie and bryan. That is a cool way to think of it, and my only issue was her horrid acting in the training room. That was me basically nitpicking.

My bet is that Orton tries to intimidate HBK into helping him play some BS on Bryan (shield in or some other case, etc) as i can see someone getting into the cell to help Orton win - that will be the person who eats sweet chin music, even if that means HHH.

Bryan is going to win, but it's going to look like the man who trained him and clearly hates Orton played favorites, and while DB will be allowed to keep the belt, there will be an asterisk on his reign until he faces orton ONE MORE FUCKING TIME, which wont be next month, but the following month after. My bet is an Iron man match or something close.

I think that HBK will screw Bryan to form a heel DX with HHH

The problem with this idea is that there can no longer be a heel DX (not to mention the idea of a "corporate DX" is just a contradiction in terms). If they were to re-form DX, it would have to be a face team and turning HHH face again at this point would be counterproductive.

I think this is the first time since HBK vs Taker that a "little guy" (note the quotations before getting pissy, ladies) has been in a Hell In A Cell match.


Bryan and Orton are going to tear it up. I think this will be the most entertaining HIAC match in quite a while. I'm ready for this shit.

I hope so

If he screws over Bryan, then I'm sure it'll be a one off thing where Michaels do what he does to help HHH, then leaves for several months and by the time he returns, all is forgiven and Michaels is cheered again. This is how it went down when HBK cost Rock the match against HHH in late 1999 but then returned in mid 2000 to babyface reactions. Even if he cost Bryan the match, I wouldn't expect him to have an extended role in this thing at all. And HHH is way past the DX thing at this point.

Bump, because on Monday Night, Triple H AND Stephanie said that they "Guarantee" a new champion. Usually, WWE holds up their guarantees like that, they made it clear they avoided the word "guarantee" before Battleground. Then they had the backstage thing with HBK where they seemed to be buddies, but if that's foreshadowing something I have no idea what it is... and I can't be any happier than that.

If one of you smart people spoil it may the wrestling gods show no mercy on you. Flair and JBL are gonna beat that ass.

I think she meant on top of the cell. Not jumping off the cell.
