That actually makes a lot more sense, rather than the free-for-all I thought it was going to be. It also just occurred to me that's there's no fucking way Vince is going to have CM Punk AND The Brian Kendrick as world champs at the same time; after being suspended Jeff's lucky to have a big push - they're not going to reward him with a title as well; Shelton's the designated jobber, he'll do what he does best, make everyone else look good (he'll be out first); and there's bound to be ONE title change otherwise why bother with the gimmick, and you know HHH wants to add +1 to his pointless title reigns, which means...
new WWE champion... MVP! You heard it here first.

I figured that all but the last pinfall would be fruitless. Try telling that to the Wrestlecrap boards though. They just whine about how it devalues the belt and some other hogwash bullshit.

This post - combined with boredom - prompted me to check the Wrestlecrap boards for the first time, literally, in years. and, uh, yeah. I don't know if I can be bothered with that shit. Do you guys still post there? "devalues the belt" - when you think about it, what the fuck does that even mean? Really? They do know it's a made-up sport, right? Suspension of disbelief and all that? Otherwise every time the Rock dropped that silly-ass people's elbow on someone it was "devaluing the belt". Instead people cheered the fuck out of it. Geez.

I'm registered on the humanoid board. I think my WC gimmick is based on the Warrior. It's been so long I don't even remember. As a matter of fact I was just there for the first time in months after Adamle debuted and I updated my profile but I didn't post anything. I don't even remember what I did with my profile. Shows you how much I give a shit about that board. I probably post on that board maybe 4 times a year. It's very rare
As for the devaluation of the belt. That is just stupid. I actually thought it would have been an awesome idea if Santino pinned Mickie in the title match and he became the women's champion and Beth became the IC champion since she wears the pants in the relationship. That made the most sense to me. Seeing as we're on the devalue topic, having Beth pin Kofi would be a devalue to the IC belt because it would make the entire men's division look like weak assholes. But having Santino pin Mickie would just make him look like an ass, which is perfect for Santino's character. I say go with whatever works with the storyline. I think that totally would have been gold. But hey what do I know? I've only been watching Wrestling for 22 years so my opinion makes no sense in McMahon land. Only 7 year olds dictate what we want to see(Go Merchandise sales!).
Now to sum it all up with 5 of the tops stars(not injured or inactive) from each brand) getting pinfalls on eachother, idiots may call it a devaluation but I call it a great push for the up and coming stars to hane that opportunity. Some people just don't get it. I think this match is an awesome concept. Smackdown just launched Kendrick into upper-midcard status and Benjamin is basically going to be the Kane in that match.
I gotta go with a Trips retain. But then again, wwe has been swerving all over the place so who knows? It should be fun to watch though

I'm guessing they are doing the scramble match for the title on SmackDown, too? I can live with MVP as WWE champion, it would be refreshing for a few months until WrestleMania swings around again and Triple H wants a title match again.

Yup. It's not really a spoiler though because wwe.com announced it. They just didn't tell us exactly who was going to be in the match.

That's ok. I usually watch shows without reading the spoilers but I'd still watch even if I know all the goings-on. How have you managed to watch it already?

I usually stay away from spoilers too, but I checked this week because of the other thread. It's still annoying when some asshole spoils something *without warning*, though. Total brainfreeze at my end. I have no idea where the youtube guys get it from: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsnDXNAWDWY&feature=PlayList&p=2A57910B6B895357&index=0&playnext=1

All I could even (be bothered to) find was an ancient, inane post in the all-purpose Snitsky thread. I don't think Beth pinning Kofi would hurt the men, as long as it was done properly. If you can buy Rey Mysterio beating Big Show you should be able to buy the stronger divas (i.e. not the skinny blondes) being able to pin similarly-sized men. And Beth is crazy strong. The belts are just props at the end of the day. The only thing that "devalues" the belts are wrestlers not giving a shit about them. Seriously, it's all just acting: every wrestler on the roster is shown as *wanting* to win the World Title. In fact, they want the belt so much they're prepared to jump through hoops and participate in wacky matches in order to do so.

I've never had an account at wrestlecrap. I think Naitch and MB post there though.

I mostly just lurk these days. 95 percent of the people suck there but I do enjoy reading others opinions and they post a lot of shit I wouldn't read otherwise.
Back to the Devaluing, you would think with some of the noids that throwing the belt in a septic tank would be a step up from the scramble match. Some of those tards need hobbies.

I almost want to go there and talk about how great the scramble is and then tell the first douche that says something to go fuck himself

Dude, these are the same people that thought the recent HIAC sucked because Taker DIDN'T THROW EDGE OFF THE CELL!
Seriously whats they're malfunction. I think most of us can settle with this being a one occurance in our lives. Apparently some of them forgot about injuries. And if you want to see that spot so bad I just happen to have that on 4 different tapes/DVDs (KOTR 98, Tombstone, Hard Knocks and Cheap Pops, This is my yard) so they release it all the time.
Honestly, some times you need to go read over there just to feel better about what we have here. Of course off topic can still be fun.
