I'm not sure if anyone has brought this up, but could this whole Japanese shampoo commercial thing be a quick way to set up a hair-vs-hair match at Wrestlemania? It would certainly be more interesting than a run-of-the-mill singles match between Edge and Booker.

Edge v. Booker should do just fine on its own as long as Booker wins.

Yikes, I just imagined Booker T with a bald head. Scary.

Chances are Edge will win, since the match will take place in his hometown. They were building it up over the weekend about Edge attending Wrestlemania VI, and how great it will be for him to perform at Wrestlemania X-Eight in the same building he was at 12 years ago. So they're pretty much telegraphing the results.
I just hope they give it a good amount of time.

I don't really care how bad the storyline is - I'll take Booker vs. Edge any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

| #6 Posted on 4.3.02 1357.10 | So is the Edge/Regal feud over with or what? Was it considered settled at No Way Out? I guess it was. Fine with me, since it didn't really work, but I hate when angles and feuds are just dropped with little or no fanfare.
Edge/Booker will make for an interesting match, but I hope Edge doesn't try the spear, because it looks silly when he attempts it on people bigger than he is.
I'm anxious to see someone who will bring the best out in Booker T. I didn't see his singles push in WCW, and I really haven't been impressed by what I've seen of him in the WWF so far. Too many serious fans like him for me to say there's not anything there, but I haven't seen it yet.

You're probably right... especially since I'm smelling an Edge & Christian reunion very soon. (I absolutely LOVE the DDP skits... but I can't see that evolving into a tag team combination.)
However, if anyone needs a big win, it's Booker T. I'm hoping T wins, goes psycho on Edge after the match, and Christian makes the save for the mojo pop they're hinting at.
But I also think the Hardys are going to pull - convieiently enough - an Edge & Christian and turn heel after winning the tag titles at Wrestlemania, so take anything I say with a grain of salt.

I think you might be onto something there, honestly.. because of Jeff saying recently that a big part of why he didn't want the Hardyz broken yet was because they were never given the ball as a heel team with the belts.. and with a face E&C to chase them, it could develop into a pretty hot feud.. and we haven't seen them wrestle each other in almost a year, so it'd be fun the first few times around..

I agree, Booker T needs the win badly. He came in to the WWF during the Invasion as the WCW champ. His record in PPV hasn't been good:
-InVasion: Gets the pin, but only because Austin stunned Angle. Booker T gets no celebration, as it's Austin, Shane, Stephanie and Paul Heyman celebrating with beer.
-Summerslam: Booker jobs cleanly to The Rock.
-Unforgiven: Jobs, despite the 2 on 1 advantage.
-No Mercy: Jobs cleanly to The Undertaker.
-Survivor Series: Eliminated by The Rock in the Main Event after 22 minutes. Booker T eliminates no one during his time in the match.
-Vengeance: Doesn't appear.
-Royal Rumble: Draws #30, eliminates RVD right before he gets eliminated by Austin. Didn't last long.
-No Way Out: Loses Tag-Team Title match when Test is choked out by Tazz. Doesn't figure in finish, but still a lost.
Having Booker T win at Wrestlemania would increase his stock (and I like your idea of Christian making the save). But I just don't see that happening.
And an Edge/Christain reunion would be fun, especially considering how they both failed in their single pushes (mostly the fault of the writers) after breaking up last fall. But I wouldn't have them hold on to the tag-team titles...well maybe one more time so they can become the Octopuses of the WWF :).
All this, of course, depends on how much the writers actually care about writing anything NOT involving the main eventers.

| #10 Posted on 5.3.02 1946.16 | I'll just be happy seeing an Edge/Booker matchup at the ppv. Perhaps with a double turn, Christian helping Edge, DDP helping Booker......
Or not.
Anyway, why not push T&T as Tag Champs? They work good together, and I certianly would consider them credible.
Insert clever comment. |
