Unforgiven Discussion Thread

Disco, the WWE have toyed with the idea of having the Undertaker face off against the winner of the scramble, it has apparently been dropped but with the injury to Shawn Michaels then there is every chance that they might resume with that idea!

I dont know mate.

I think Show will have a fued with la Famila and may pair with Taker

Don't think that would be worthy of any air time at all, La Famila have not in my opinion got anyone near the level of either TAKER or The Big Show, it would be for me a total miss match, usually that can work when the miss match is the face and he gets everyone behind him however as the miss match would be the heels it would not make much sense, not unless Show was going to turn heel on Taker, in which case I would rather he done it with MVP and they both became a strong unit

Khali Trips will fued

that will leave MVP Jeff Benji and Kendrick at the top

Its been looking like they will feud however Trips has already beaten him enough times lately so I don't see it making much sense, Triple H is to good to be booked against Khali every week, he needs someone who can help make him look good as well

That Taker getting a shot idea sounds terrible.

I can see someone like Benjamin stealing it (from Kendrick, he looks like he's there to be pinned) only to lose it against Taker. But then goody goody Taker would have to win or be screwed because he couldn't get beat by a weakened wrestler. Really hope they've dropped the idea.

There're new rumours, that the Taker isn't going to get the title by the winner.

I don't know, what's the worth. Maybe ths whole Taker rumours are only spread to sell the PPV..
But it's strange, that he is not booked offivially after his comeback..

I dont think the idea sounds awful.

I see the night for the Smackdown team like this

Trips screwd outta the title by Khali

Benji/MVP winning

Taker getting a shot La Famila/ Edge screw Taker

Edge does this to get back in Vickies good books

I don't think its that bad of an idea to be honest, I think if MVP actually got the strap in the scramble even if he does need to screw the Taker, it would make MVP look like a top level main eventer to win the title off Triple H and defend it against the Undertaker on the same night

I do think however anything involving The Undertaker winning the belt is a terrible idea!

On another note, I don't like the sound of these "scrambles" at all, especially three. I reckon they could pull off one but three in one night but I think three is ridiculous. And why are we "almost guaranteed" a title change, it's only 20 minutes long.

I know what your saying but with an 5 guys in it and the champ does not need to be pinned then realistically it would be 20% chance or retaining the title, obviously thats they kayfabe answer!

Sensible idea as ever lol. Working like that must mean HHH has a 50% chance of beating Candice Michelle.

It's weird, there's only one match I'm (and most others) are looking forward to but it still looks better than Summerslam did.

did they nick the scramble from ROH.

the day before it was announced i was havnig a browse to see some colt cobana and on the card was a title scramble, but i didnt watch, next day raw decide to do somthing of the same name. sure mafish will know if its the same basic idea?

They may have nicked the name but I doubt they nicked the concept as well.

I don't mean ROH never used this concept either, I don't know however I doubt they would have called it the scramble, if they did then WWE would have just called it something else

So what I am trying to say is ROH may have had a match called the scramble and they may have had a match like the Championship Scamble however I doubt it was the same type of match

Depends, would it just be a 1 on 1 with Candice and Trips? then surely you would have a favourite?????

thats what you get for catching me out ya

I agree about looking better than SummerSlam, I am already looking forward to it. Something SummerSlam did not have me!

I think its because we can genuinely see the possibility of a new world champion being crowned.

SummerSlam did not have any genuine contenders, Khali and JBL were never possibilities in my opinion

Do yuo think this is going to be good then?

Only the Smackdown brand is interesting me at this PPV

makes more interesting than having a mark henry sqaush for ecw.

Makes you think punk will lose his title. kane and rey and batista storylines. should be ok concept

better than over top rope, or a fatal "5" way

I still think we will have a Henry squash

I reckon the two scrambles will be interesting whether or not they turn out to be brilliant matches is another thing. We should see at least one more Smackdown match too considering there's 3 Raw matches on the card. This PPV really is Michaels and Jericho though.

I am looking forward to both of them to be honest, the ECW one is doing nothing for me.

I cant believe that there is a 5 man Championship Scamble and John Morrison is nowhere in sight, it makes no sense to me unless he might be carrying some kind of injury which would explain why they never really had a match on RAW the other night.

I think the RAW one will be explosive and will bring answers to quite a few questions regarding Kane and this new demonic character he has been playing brilliantly as of late.

As for SMACKDOWN! I actually see a new champion being crowned however I am unsure who, I think Shelton Benjamin has got the biggest push out of all the guys so far but as he is the US champ and only just been pushed again I don't think it will be him, MVP for me is the logical choice as he is a top heel with a great gimmick and would freshen up the main event for me no end, however I have a sneaky suspicion that if they are going to take it off Helmsley then they will sit it on Hardy, at least until Survivor Series which would great disappoint me although an Edge Hardy feud for the title could possibly steal the show of any PPV if given the right build and the right match type

I think Jeffrey may be the man for Smackdown Scramble as well

Agreed Gaffer ECW will be a squash no Morrison just baffles me.

Raw just doesnt do much for me either all I can see it doing is continuing the KAne/Batista/REy story line and then go on to continue Punk/JBL

I'd hate to see Batista win. I have no idea why people blabber on about HHH never letting people go over him (which I think is 100% shit) yet not mention Batista. I'm sick of him decking everyone, every week.nHe decked Kane in the height of his "mask or no mask" period. He's killed Punk numerous times and got both of these plus JBL this week. He's even beat Cena cleanly. God knows what it would be like if he becomes champion.

I think if Punk retains the title the following RAW will have Chris Jericho come out and cut off CM Punk

I think if Punk retains that will be his next feud with JBL moving on guys like D'Lo Brown for a few weeks, maybe even Batista if he can't get a hold of Kane

I agree with this however I think in the height of all this they are grooming him for a run with the strap.

My thoughts change on the scamble all the time however I can see Rey screwing Batista for Kane to win the title at Unforgiven then for Kane to hold the strap and have a following (Rey, Palumbo and possibly Hass and London??????) and feud with Batista who is trying to break Kane's hold over Rey, then either at Survivor Series or Armageddon Batista beats Kane for the title and holds it until Mania time where the rematch between Cena and Batista takes place and of course with Batista winning the first one it should be time for Cena to get his win and after a year and a half without a world title another run with the strap.

Not my preferred choice of champions or feuds but thats they way I can actually see it going, although I would rather see Cena beat Batista at the Rumble and Jericho to win the Rumble and that be the Mania main event

(Regretfully) updated again. A fine Divas match awaits us now, suppose they need summit to fill the time in.
