Anybody else catch it, by chance?

Didn't see it, but I'm a huge fan of Edge and I fully support his sort of tweener-turn. Great way to bring him back. And also, despite feeling like a complete and total idiot afterwards, I raised the horns up when Edge speared Sheamus. WWE is actually pretty good at making you believe their completely insufferable douchebags, to the point that when your personal favorite character triumphs, you're all like "**** to the yeah".

also ronald mcdonald joke was lol

I hope he goes for the World Title, though.

I don't want to see him take the WWE title and then feud with Cena for an eon.

I hope he goes for the world title and we see HBK vs Taker II somehow.

**Galefore** · 02-05-2010, 08:15 PM

Well, let's remember that the World title isn't necessarily guaranteed to still be in Taker's hands come Wrestlemania. He may very well drop it to somebody else in the Elimination Chamber (like Chris Jericho, for example, thus setting up the Jericho/Edge feud everybody predicted after the injury). However, I don't know for sure whether or not Y2J qualified for the Chamber (I don't have Smackdown), and my theory could be totally off.

Either way, it seems Taker vs. HBK take 2 is inevitable. I was hesitant about this at first, because I didn't want the WWE to screw up a good thing by immediately trying to top what amounts to one of the most amazing matches ever performed. However, since nobody else seems to be in a good position to try their luck, and since Edge is the last person on anybody's mind who needs a rematch with the deadman, it's the only logical match choice. The only other superstar that could believably take on the Undertaker and pose a feasible, non-WTF threat to the streak is John Cena (and even so, I'd really rather not have that happen since if Cena were to be given the win, I'm not sure it'd go over well with fans), and I don't think that's in the cards for a long time.

Jericho is in the chamber.

Along with him are John Morrison, CM Punk, R-Truth, and Rey Mysterio (And Taker, of course).

**Galefore** · 02-05-2010, 08:29 PM

^It'd be pretty interesting if they dropped the title to Morrison... Although I'm not sure the company views him as important enough to headline 'Mania.

Speaking of which, if Sheamus doesn't drop the title before the big day, he will be one of the main events at Wrestlemania as well. That'd be completely unheard of, to bring some random new recruit from a developmental territory in, give him a string of victories over the top superstar, and then let him co-headline the flagship PPV. Either McMahon's insane or McMahon's insane.

I actually think bringing a new guy like Sheamus in and having him win the title within a few months was a really good move, because it shows that on rare occasions, Vince realizes how good new talent really is. It isn't really different than what they did with CM Punk when he first showed up, although it took him a while longer.

**Galefore** · 02-05-2010, 08:41 PM

True, true. I mean, I actually celebrated the decision to have Sheamus win. However, I do think they've let him keep it too long; Sheamus, to me, doesn't have enough charisma or any real defining character yet. He's the thuggish, arrogant heel archetype. He needs a few more months to grow as a character before they let him headline Wrestlemania, but that's just my opinion.

Some guy on a Youtube video read out some spoilers for Wrestlemania but because I don't know how to add spoiler tags, so I'm not gonna say 'em.

**Galefore** · 02-06-2010, 09:33 PM

Spoilers are never to be trusted, since the writing team actually looks for that sort of thing and makes changes as necessary. Entire matches have been changed last minute for that very reason. Aside from that, sources for spoilers are often dubious and it's mostly just fan-conjecture passed off as real. It's a lot like gossip: you can take it with a grain of salt, and if it really happens, it really happens.

As for adding spoiler tags, simply place your text between [spoiler][/ spoiler] (minus the space).
