Denji Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I've not watched a lot of WWE lately, but is Bourne's push a serious one? Do they honestly think he has what it takes to be a legit World Champ and regular main eventer? I mean he is about 180 right? On what little ring time I've seen of him, it's obvious he is a very talented young fella and his finisher is a thing of beauty, but most of the time ring talent is a distant second best to how marketable an individual is. Of course it's a moot question as they have the ridiculous situation of Rey Mysterio as a Heavyweight champ, and Bourne would be far more credible than him IMO, but Rey sells to the kiddies. I think Bourne's push is just to make him look like a genuine contender for MitB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I think Bourne's push is just to make him look like a genuine contender for MitB. Agreed. I can't see Vinny Mac pushing Bourne seriously even on the say-so of Cena. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Agreed. I can't see Vinny Mac pushing Bourne seriously even on the say-so of Cena. No but he might push him for the US Championship and see how he holds that kind of status. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Since its the first PPV specifically dedicated to MITB, I reckon there will be at least one insane spot that you never thought you'd ever see. Dies it annoy anyone else when watching SmackDown to hear Striker refer to Hardy and Christian as high flyers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam. Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 So you know how a few pages back some people were arguing that WWE see TNA as a serious threat? Well, we can put that idea to bed. This weeks featured legend on the WWE TV channel in the States is Ric Flair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Christian is more prone to flying than most so I don't have much issue with that. Matt Hardy though ? He can't fly anymore. Flop maybe, but not fly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flop maybe, but not fly. Even with Christian....what does he do these days that is classed as high flying? High crossbody? Frog Splash? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 He also does that Springboard Plancha to the floor, which is more flying than most. By WWE standards, he's a flyer, that's for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forehead7 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I'm shattered but hopefully it'll open with a MitB match and I can catch that. Sheamus, Mysterio, The Miz, Christian and The Hart Dynasty are my picks. I'd think one of the woman's matches would be the opener. I'd certainly have both of them followed by the tag team match then hit the SD and RAW Mitb matches then the World Championship and WWE Championship matches following them, in that order. I'm gonna go with Usos, Drew McIntyre (although I want Christian), Jericho, Rey Mysterio and Sheamus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I actually think they'll go with the Smackdown MitB or the tag title match to open the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I actually think they'll go with the Smackdown MitB or the tag title match to open the show. Surley one of the MITB matches has to be at the start...thye cant stack the 2nd half of the show with 2 MITB matches and a cage match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but watching any of the three lesser matches will be even worse if it follows either of the MITBs or the cage match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Sometimes that's the point. Put a women's match after the first MitB match, and then the tag title match, and then the cage, and then the other women and then the RAW MitB, assuming that's the main event. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Drew wins, usos win, and I can't remember who rey is facing but I hope the wee b*****d gets taken out oh wait... I think he is facing swagger, in which case, Rey to win! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never watch smackdown so I forget they have that other "divas" title. Women get out of the ring, you can't wrestle and hearing a fat 55 year old guy posing as a king talking about puppies and divas is cringeworthy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
