I have a deep feeling that Triple H is going to have to face Santino Marella, if not, then my second guess would be on Umaga. What do you think guys?

He will face Umaga, since the Samoan Bulldozen is the resident jobber to the stars.

I'd put H in with Big Show to have that surprising water cooler moment, and give the diehards a nice surprise. Plus if Show wrecks H, it can lead to a Mania program. I don't think H needs to be in the title picture any time soon, if ever again.

If The Game will face Santino Marlla, that will be a mismatch, Santino will not do anything but he will be get Pedigree'd. But if Triple H faces The Samoan Bulldozzer, Umaga, that one will be a hell of a fight, interesting match to watch.

Ehh, trips vs Khali.

Wakaka.

If Big Show is back it would make perfect sense for them to put him against HHH tonight. Vince wants HHH to fail so he would want to throw a monster at him.

HD starts tonight. Hope it's not actually a curse in disquise. Images so clear we can see those punches missing my a mile... :P

That would mean show's return would be as a raw superstar??

There are alot of Raw superstars already

Show's a big (no pun intended) superstar. I couldn't see them putting him on either other brand, Raw is the mother brand.
I wouldn't want him to come back this week, though. Wouldn't a big return like that warrant coming back in the Rumble?

Unless he's gonna win, why? Bringing him back and then getting thrown out would be stupid. It could make an interesting story though if Show came back as like the last entrant, threw out whoever was left, and then they did a story that while Show had officially entered, he hadn't signed with ANY brand yet, he just signed a deal with the company, and they just tease and tease the idea of what champion Show would face while he just randomly attacks all of them. That could be a really fun storyline.

I can think of one good thing about Triple H winning the title. If anyone can bring back the classic belt, it is him. Whenever I see the spinner belt all I think is Orton is just keeping the title warm for Cena, and I can take him serious.

Kennedy and HBK was amazing tonight, so was the fan in the banana suit.

Wanna see that, I'm waiting for karlobeng2 to upload the episode on YouTube, haha.

Happy 700 pages to this club. ^_^

Tonight was pretty good. I thought the Jericho bit wasn't that impressive...I was hoping for a darker, more pissed reaction...but eh, could have been worse. The HBK/Kennedy match was awesome, though.

I hope Triple H doesn't win the Rumble. I love him and all, and I wouldn't hate another HHH run at some point, but I think it's time for some newer blood to get a chance to shine.

Was I the only one hoping Big Show was the third guy he had to fight?

You need to tell him that in his face. Until then, he is bounded to win the RR.

I noticed that Regal was trying to stop someone from taking on HHH as the third guy. My guts feeling told me that it was Orton. Nice prelude for the ievitable Orton vs HHH WM clash!

Saddly, the classic WWE title died and we are forced and will be forced to live with the spinning belt for a long long long time regardless who the champion is.

Billionaire Rematch?

---->Nearly one year after Mr. McMahon and Donald Trump came to billion-dollar blows at WrestleMania 23, the two media juggernauts cross paths again - this time on The Donald's turf - on NBC's The Celebrity Apprentice.

This Thursday at 9/8 CT, McMahon will make a very special appearance on Trump's hugely popular corporate-themed competition starring celebrities such as Stephen Baldwin, Lennox Lewis, Vinnie Pastore and Marilu Henner. (Watch a preview)

"I invited Vince to come on because I loved my victory over him at WrestleMania 23, and I thought maybe I'd take it to the next step," Trump explained. "Vince is the greatest showman there is. Whether you like him or not, Vince is a smart guy. He's cunning, he's sharp and I did listen to his opinions."

This truly special episode of The Celebrity Apprentice marks the first time the mane-shaven McMahon and the fully-coiffed Trump encountered one another since the record-breaking WrestleMania in April. Given their clouded history, The Donald carefully coupled his praise with self-assertion, making sure it was known who he believed was the dominant force in the executive chair on the show.

The HHH match was more disappointing than anything else. I seemed like he won that match way too easily.

Raw certinly started off witha bang though, Kennedy and HBK really put on a show. I would have liked Kennedy to go over, but the match itself outweighs the outcome in this case.

Good to see Carlito finally win a match on Raw. How long has it been?

lol banana man!

That's what I've heard too, which I think is dumb. I hate the way the spinner belt looks, and I don't like the idea of altering the belt's look to fit a specific champion either. I can understand the changing the look up every few years (everybody does it), but this look is just ugly, and too associated with John Cena for my taste. Orton is keeping the belt warm for Hardy though unless WWE is insane. Also H isn't winning the Rumble, I totally believe Taker is making it two years in a row.

Well here is hoping I'm totally wrong in what I originally expected to happen. *Crosses fingers for Hardy*

Or by some shock actually let an ECW wrestler win the Rumble. Would be a rather unexpected thing not many people would see it coming, also show that WWE can still suprise us all some in a good way. (dought it but hey here it hoping)

It would be a sign of the apocalypse, and frankly a waste unless the ECW guy in question was going to leave ECW and challenge one of the major champions, but the big two champs already have programs that can carry them into Mania at this point. Being ECW champion would be like winning then challenging the IC or US champion at Mania. The belt is worthless, and the brand is pretty much too.

Apparently Tommy Dreamer has been added to the Royal Rumble because of that landslide poll on WWE.com.
Obviously he is going to win. Right?

Lol, hear the "What?"s while Regal was talking?

I doubt that Hady will come out with the belt this Sunday. If the plan is to have Jeff winning at RR, Orton would have beat the holy hell out of Jeff this Monday according to the way how those creative team idiots make storylines. But after seeing Orton on the receiving end for 999999999th time in a row against Jeff, I am pretty sure that he will find a way to retain this Sunday. We all know that it was the beginning of Orton's struggle as a main eventer when he had a program with HHH from late 2004 to early 2005. Let's give him another chance at the biggest stage of all time and see how he fares this time. Orton vs HHH for the title deserves to happen at WM!

In addition, Jeff Hardy is yet to drop his IC title. What I heard was that there were only three superstars who had held the WWE title and the IC title at the same time. Jeff is one of the most popular faces right now, but I do not think that he is big enough to have multiple titles yet.

Chavo is the new ECW champion! Fuck the faces, heels rule!
Now Edge is the meanest, baddest motherfucker in the WWE/WWF history.
For once, Vince made a good decision.

I missed ECW last night.. So Chavo won the belt huh? I'll have to read about it to see what happened. I'm guessing that Edge got involved somehow.

Dreamer in the rumble is great, i just hope he gets to eliminate a few people.

- According to Bobby Lashley's official website, www.BobbyLashleyOnline.com, the former ECW Champion has parted ways with WWE. Lashley commented, "Circumstances, which are out of my control left me no decision but to leave the WWE. I can't go into details of this now but like I said before, sometimes people will hate you personally and try to destroy you, which has happened here. Evil has prevailed. However like I said before, if you continue your struggle, doors will open around these people. You have not seen the last of me, so please don't stop your support. Add Bobby Lashley to the list of RECENTLY RELEASED!"

- Lashley has recently teased doing MMA through his site, stating: "I am not sure what I will be doing the next few months. I said I am in fighting shape because if I am not wrestling, I will be fighting. Wrestling is my passion but sometimes things are out of your control. The time off I've had was well needed and was not in vain. I had surgery in August, which was pretty serious. I had to have 5 connectors put in my shoulder to repair my torn labrum. I was slated to be out for 6 months but I think that diagnosis was for an average person. I'm ready for action and I have been for some time now. Whatever action that may be, I will be ready."

- WWE has not officially announced a release through their website, but word made it around the locker room at last night's tapings and most feel WWE will address this by week's end.

Hmmm.. A guy with the initials BL with an amateur background in wrestling gets a huge push upon his debut and then turns his back on WWE, and thinks about doing MMA. Where have I seen this before?

Sad part is that in a couple of years another roided-up dude with an amateur background will show up and get the same push.

Thats crazy right there. I wonder what in the hell he was talking about? Maybe he's hating on HHH or some other backstage power that was intent on keeping him down.

Wow I thought for sure he would be back for the rumble and kick some ass.

It's no big loss. Here's hoping Show comes back and wins the rumble.

Colin Delaney will continue versing superstars until he is so hurt that he treats the pain as normal, and that will happen when every body part is bandaged and he becomes the wrestling mummy.

Also Kofi Kingston <3

Lol.

If what said on Lashley's website was the truth, then HHH is guaranteed to win the RR.

WOOT! First, I manage to catch the Sonic Crew's 500th post in time, and now I've caught our 700th!!! A lucky day! ^_^

I just xcaught the RAW recording from Monday, but once again the recorder cut off the end of it so I missed the presumed hell that I'm sure occurred during the supposed Orton / Hardy handshaking.

I'll post on other matters later; I gotta' go.

I'm looking forward to SD tonight. I haven't read any previews or anything, so I have no idea what will be going on. Hopefully we will get some good momentum for the storylines going there.

I have - my neighbor's 2nd job didn't fall through, so it's BACK TO THE REGULAR SCHEDULED PROGRAMS!!!
