[The Headliner]

The card announced so far:

World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk vs. Jeff Hardy
WWE Champion Randy Orton vs. Triple H
ECW Championship Scramble Match
Women's Champion Melina vs. Michelle McCool
Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio
John Cena vs. The Miz
Unified Tag Team Champions Carlito & Primo vs. Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase

Of course the Intercontinental Title match will be Title vs Mask, and the WWE Title match will be 3 Stages of Hell.

Here's where I find the latter stipulation stupid. On RAW this week, Vince made a point of saying that the second fall, to take place under Falls Count Anywhere rules, could end up anywhere - his examples were the parking lot or even the state line. Okay, so imagine that happens - Triple H and Orton find themselves miles from the arena, as per the rules, when the second fall takes place. Now the next fall is a stretcher match, which can only end when someone is pushed across a line drawn at the top of the ramp. In the arena.

Yeah, I was dissapointed by the third stip. I'm thinking it would be almost the perfect oppurtunity to do Hell in a Cell, finally put an end to the feud. But I guess now they're going with an all-HIAC ppv, I guess they don't want it to be overkill. God help us if WWE put on a match that makes sense.

Stretcher match is just bullshit.

Rest of the card looks awesome though.

[Illusion]

Sad thing is that Triple H/Orton won't end at The Bash.  It'll end up going to Hell in a Cell guaranteed.  Everything else looks great.  Hopefully The Colons won't just be a tool to give the belts to Legacy so they have all the gold and they'll prove to be some kind of competition.  Miz/Cena is interesting and should be fun to watch.

....And?

What you mean And...

It's pretty clear what he means.

I trust Vince McMahon.

They were really putting over the fact that you leave on a stretcher, so they might go the route of someone not physically being able to go on.

Isn't it obvious? Vince will follow the fight , driving the ambulance... duh.... I don't look for it to any further than a parking lot.. perhaps a Denny's parking lot down the street but still.. not too far...

[Hazzy]

It will MAYBE leave the crowd area for like, 2 minutes, before they loop round and end up coming out in the crowd somewhere. That's what always happens.

just to let you guys know

Dolph Ziggler vs. The Great Khali is added on this friday, yaay, match of the year candidate eventhough i saw it 1000000 times already

[TimboSlice]

Whose to say it won't end in 2 matches? Maybe we won't see a stretcher match? That way it CAN end at the 'state line' and we'll be ok =] 

I wouldn't be opposed to see Randy win in 2 matches...

[The Headliner]

It's actually looking like a good show to me at the moment. Most of those matches should be decent, or at least have some point of interest to them. All I could really do without is a match involving Michelle McCool, and I hope Orton and Triple H deliver one of their better performances like they did on RAW.

Fortunately it's on Sky Sports for UK viewers, rather than Box Office. On a side note, any Brits watching or recording tonight should also check out Vintage Collection on Sky Sports Xtra (11pm), if you're interested in a Flair/Michaels match from the Rockers days.

[Purple Marauder]

I'm not going to buy this ppv for one reason. If Cena beats the Miz I'll be so pissed I spent $50 on the PPV I'll blow up Titan Tower...and no one wants that. If Miz wins, I'll probably get the replay or the DVD. I just can't take the good chance that Cena will crush any momentum that the Miz has going for him.

[The Headliner]

I am expecting The Miz to lose, but I don't think he has to win to gain anything from this feud. His stock has risen over the past few weeks, and if anything, I think a win over Cena on PPV would be turning that momentum into something ridiculous - too much too soon. I certainly hope it's not a flat-out squash, as that could indeed put him back to square one or worse. But it doesn't have to be that way for Cena to still win.

[Purple Marauder]

I don't expect him to win clean. I expect outside interference or just cheating. But, any win would further his momentum. He needs that more than Cena needs another PPV win.
