Although if there's going to be a dispute over the title ownership, I'd say that means the likelihood of Edge holding it going into WM is actually marginally lower, even though no-one else would make sense.

BTW, thoughts on who attacked Teddy Long, anyone? Are we likely to get a resolution before WM?
Ziggler?

Wait, TNA had a PPV last night? Im so plugged into them that i didnt even stay up and steal it, let alone buy it, lol.

Re: Bryan and heeling. He could probably go for a Indy>WWE gimmick in the future, but to do so he would need a stable (perfect spot for Tyler Black and Consequences Creed (yes, call TNA indy ftw)) and he would need a grievance, having the US title taken from him through a fatal fourway where he wasnt pinned and then being refused a rematch for example. It could work, perhaps. But as i said right now Bryan is chugging along nicely as a face, he has lost a little steam as they set up WM and i think he deserves to be in the Elim Chamber (esp over that fail Truth) but he is in a good place right now. He is still on track to be in the main events by the close of 2011.

Im happy WWE is gonna run with the end of Smackdown last week. Cos that was ****ing terrible booking and i highly doubt it was planned to be so bad, but running with it is a great move. Id watch Edge/Ziggler/ADR at WM for sure, the problem is they need a credible reason for ADR to let himself get put in a triple threat over taking on the one winner on Raw (who we assume is Miz).

Speaking of, this is what I figure is locked in right now:
Miz (c) vs Cena
Punk (with New Nexus) vs Orton
Santino and Koslov (c) vs Corre (Gabriel and Slater i assume)
HHH vs Taker (career vs streak)
ADR vs Edge (perhaps vs Ziggler too)
Divas Title (LayCool vs Eve, vs everyone or something similarly kinda ridic to get everyone involved)
MITB

The gaps are firstly Big Show, who i doubt they will put in MITB cos the time at MITB the PPV was enough, so with a feud that is built out of him and Corre id expect to see Show vs Barrett.

The next question is where does Sheamus fit in. Im guessing it will be Sheamus vs Morrison to close out their grudge.

So there has been talk of a Cole vs King blowoff - this makes sense, however rather than have them fight i suspect something like King vs Riley (w Cole) figures to make more sense. I really hope we dont see this, but the EC match with King taking on Miz (ugh) is just set up perfectly to create this match (double ugh).

One other match i half expect to see though the groundwork is slim so far is Rey vs Cody. The story is kinda there, it might have some kind of goofy mask vs mask stipulation too. I think it will be funny to see Cody working in some kind of Phantom of the Opera half mask, then get demasked to look identical as before and then have him cut a promo on mic about how he looks hideous and how Rey has scarred him for life. It seems very McMahon. I think the Dashing gimmick is starting to run its course so blowing it off at WM, have him reforming a new gimmick after the draft and then moving on from there makes sense.

This leaves MITB participants:
Bryan
Kofi
Swagger
Christian (if he is healthy)
Kane
Ziggler (if he isnt in the title match ldo)
Bourne (if he is healthy)
Ted Dibiase Jr.
R-Truth (yes, i came back to edit him in, forgot him till i noticed i had mocked him earlier in the post, the bastard better not win)

Could be Ziggler, could be Corre, but it could also just be that they were writing Teddy out indefinitely and didn't have a big angle planned. It's not as if Teddy Long is over enough that most fans really care that he got beaten down.

Maybe they do a 4 way at WM. Edge vs Ziggler vs Dolph vs winner of EC?

I wish I wasn't on my droid so I can actually see these gifs.

Btw would anyone here hate a Morrison vs Daniel Bryan feud with a Bryan heel turn and epic match at Wrestlemania. I think that they could steal the show ala benoit/angle/jericho years ago.

It would be alittle rushed though. Maybe Morrison can win a 1 contenders match and have a face vs face match for the title followed by a Morrison win and a heel turn by Daniel Bryan snapping and vicously attacking Morrison after the march. Have Daniel bryan shave his head and grow a bear and bam we have a heel bryan with a great look, a beginning to an epic feud, and adding prestige to the us championship.

bryan doesn't need to be heel to grow a bear. most zookeepers are faces.

I dont even know what gimmick he could pull off heel unless he was in a group like Nexus which would net better results than the current anti-superstar underdog face gimmick.

As the creative recall dude said, Vince doesnt see Bryan as someone who could win a shoot fight (not sure how true that is tbh, but i digress) but he can capitalise on your mistakes and punish you that way. It works as a face, it just doesnt work as a heel.
I really don't think he's that over as a face. His pops have been getting smaller, as has his tv time.

He could easily turn heel IMO. All it takes is him snapping and not releasing the lebell lock on some guy like Santino and OMG he's a crazy submission guy that is out to hurt people. Then he plays the no respect card or the fans never supported him and he's always been a loner whatever blah blah blah and makes guys like Bourne tap out while still holding the lock on after the bell. Grow the beard a little more and have tyler black get in a feud with him. It's all deadly.

I never considered it, but it sounds reasonable. Hope it doesn't happen though...leave Rey out.

Nah, Rey vs Cody is pretty much set in stone. Rey apparently was asked who he wanted to wrestle at WM and answered Cody, so he must think highly of him.

You really gotta get that droid checked out it's making some crazy typos that make it seem like you think ADR isn't one of the best performers in the WWE.

Concerning guest host of WM. From Rajah.

Spoiler:
While many people are speculating that it will be revealed to be Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, sources within WWE indicate that many employees are under the impression that the guest host will be none other than former Price Is Right host Bob Barker.

Barker is scheduled to be the guest on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on tonight CBS.

weak sauce if true

We haven't had a silly gimmick in the wwe in a while.

I think we have found Daniel Bryans new heel gimmick

The Bear Wrestler, the lion tamer. The Zookeeper.

If Rey wins in the EC it will be ADR vs Rey and Edge will have a blowoff match with Ziggler. Im fairly convinced they are building Rey vs Cody at WM right now though.

Uber weak sauce if true. I still think there's a good chance it's Justin Bieber, which would be hilarious as he'd probably get a massive heel reaction from the live crowd, even though they'd want him to appear as a face to the kids at home.

Think there's like a 0.00001% chance it's The Rock, though, people are in dreamland.
