Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

Maybe they aren't totally sold on removing the MITB PPV. Personally, I liked the PPV - it was always a buy for me.

Maybe they thought a HIAC match and a Money in the Bank match was "too much." Or they are realizing that every wrestler they have is getting injured, and they just don't want to chance it. Or maybe they scrapped MITB since Barrett got hurt.

IMO the thing is putting the MITB case on someone is like putting a belt on the person. It really helped out Daniel Bryan.

For me I want WM to be a wrestlingasm from start to finish. I want to be burnt out by the end. Give me everything...give me a HIAC, give me a MITB, give me a Survivor Series type match...I want it all.

Are there enough over and non injured guys on the roster to have both the MITB match plus the Big Johnny/Teddy team matches?

I think that's why they are choosing one of the other. Unless we get Zeke vs. Bow Tie Dave showcased at Wrestlemania.

I think so. I'd imagine the tag match will be an 8-man. I'm thinking Henry/ADR/Christian/Otunga vs. Santino/Khali/McIntyre and then they're fourth will be someone like Ezekiel Jackson, Alex Riley, or maybe they'll even have Zack Ryder in the match. That leaves, for MITB, Kofi, R-Truth, Ziggler, Cody, Miz, Justin Gabriel (for the obligatory 450 off a ladder), Swagger, and Kane. And that's with me assuming Big Show is still facing Shaq (which may or may not happen), and I believe Orton will still be inserted into the WHC match. If those things don't happen, Orton and Show both go into MITB, Swagger probably replaces Otunga, and I think Ziggler could end up facing Mick Foley in a hardcore match.

Just read that Rey did an interview today where he stated that him main goal is to be ready by Wrestlemania. I'd imagine he'd take place in the tag match (especially if Del Rio will be in it).

The MITB PPV is back on for July, so I seriously doubt we'll see it at Mania.

Re: The OS WWE 'Dirt' Thread

I actually am glad. I get Wrestlemania no matter what. I think's it's always a good PPV. MITB in July is a buy for me in a spot that probably wouldn't be anyway. I've bought both MITB PPV's and enjoyed them a lot. I thought this years was the second best PPV of the year.

I don't mind it because out of the PPV's named after a match that aren't one of the big 4, its the one that makes the most sense as a recurring PPV. Unlike Extreme Rules, Elimination Chamber, Hell in a Cell, Fatal 4 Way, etcetera, its not just a match that can be made through a storyline really.

I think EC makes sense too because it's a multi-man match, and it being the last chance to get into Mania makes sense to me. But yeah, I think the MITB obviously works as an annual match because of the reward, and because you don't need to fit a storyline into it. Unlike those other themed PPV's, MITB isn't the main event - it's a great attraction match, but the title matches are still the main events.

Kevin Eck <s>@</s>KevinEck_WWE I see reports that MITB was scrapped from Mania because of Wade Barrett's injury. Completely false on multiple levels. <s>#</s>yoursourceslied
<s>@</s>JonnyKane1 who said it was scrapped? Who said it was ever scheduled?

- Word is that The Rock and John Cena will not have any physical contact until the March 26th RAW Supershow, the final show before WrestleMania 28.

That makes sense. I imagine that they're going to get in each other's faces, say a few words, then just start going at it. Like referees and superstars in the ring trying to separate them. That would be the best way to ensure that people buy WM.

Spoiler

I don't really think that is gonna happen. I just think that would be amazing. Like over the next few weeks have the promos get more and more heated and maybe personal. Then on the 26th, have one of them say something that finally sends the other over the edge.
