Updates on Edge vs. Chris Jericho and HBK vs. Undertaker at WM

- After Shawn Michaels issued the challenge on RAW a few weeks back, it appears they are going forward with the Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker rematch at next year’s WrestleMania.

WWE has tossed around ideas recently of having names like Vince McMahon, Chris Jericho and John Cena try to break the streak at next year’s big show. The storyline between Taker and Vince on SmackDown seems to have been dropped.

Another WrestleMania 26 match still being discussed is Edge vs. Chris Jericho. Everyone is now under the impression that Edge will be back in time for WrestleMania.

    Edge and Jericho I like, if there is time to build up a the match. Yeah, I know about their history, but I’d still like something more than Edge getting hurt and Jericho calling him injury prone. Also, I really dislike the ‘Taker/Michaels rematch. You cannot improve upon perfection and I feel they should leave well enough alone. That was an epic battle and to try and recreate that is only going to end in total failure. Sure, it could be another classic match, maybe even “almost as good”, but I really see no need for it. Let someone else face Undertaker and don’t tarnish the greatest Wrestlemania match ever.

    I like the idea of Edge and Y2J but there is one major problem! Who’s the heel and who’s the face?

    Both stars are better off as heels, but if it means that one of them has to make a turn, it’s obviously Edge. I am not prepared to see a face Edge.

    Face Edge seems to me like rookie Edge. I just loved his heel turn and he is one of the best heels in the business today. The next thing I will hate, same for Y2J, is when he does turn face all the kids will be cheering for him wtc.

    I hate when the darn kids cheer faces just because their faces….reember Kennedy’s face turn when he returned. He said something bad bout Regal so he got cheered, then he sai something good so he got booed, then he said something bad so he got cheered agian and it went like that till he fully changed face.

    I think WWE should leave them as a heel! Since when it became all bout heel vs face anyway. Both men could be hated by the fans and still be in a rivalry right?

    Why do I smell a stupid and cheap way for them to end and ruin Taker’s legacy at WM? A rematch between the two, seems to dictate that HBK will come out on top this time.

    Plus, we’ve already SEEN it. I don’t need to see another round of HBK preaching the ****ing BIBLE in a wrestling ring, thanks.

    Don’t think the rematch will happen.. I bet they have it all ut set up.. but one of them will win the title shot at mania and not be able to face the other.. or one will be champ and the other will be challenged… yadda yadda.

    Just can’t see any point of a rematch… If taker is going to lose at WM it should be to a younger guy and it should be pretty much his retirment match.

    They’ve had “re-matches” where the person who lost last time, lost again..they change **** up all the time, don’t be surprised to see Taker win.

    why does the ‘streak’ have to end? keep it going until taker is about to retire… if any1 should of ended it, it should have been kane at wrestlemania 14 or orton at wrestlemania 21

    if that rematch takes place, HBK will win, its allways happened, we have seen it in the past, he just cant loose and not get a rematch (except with Austin). John Cena would be good so he can loose to Taker. And i agree with those that hope to see edge vs y2j as heels. I hate that right and wrong battle, heel vs heel could be a lot more interesting in my opinion.

    Edge is the most overrated heel ever, I never saw why people were so hooked on heel edge. As far as heel and faces, I like guys who let it come naturally, like the Ortons, Million Dollar Man & Triple H (heel), Rock, Hogan, Edge & HBK (faces). My problem with Edge was that as a heel, everything he did felt forced, almost like he had to do the worst thing to garner heel heat instead of letting it come natural to him. Having him billed as Neutral would have been more believable in my opinion.

    here the upcoming wrestlemania::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
    WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
    SHAWN MICHAELS .VS. UNDERTAKER
    the gauntlet has been layed down. Michaels should show up on smackdown one day and flat out challenge the undertaker, to which somebody from smackdown shows up( maybe cm punk, batista, or somebody else) and say they deserve the title shot… michaels beats them, and makes the whole feud about whether he can beat the Undertaker….

    ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
    WWE CHAMPIONSHIP
    CHRIS JERICHO.V.EDGE

    alright so heres how this match comes together. Cena and sheamus find a way to ether pin each other or a third person joins the match, but it leads to the title getting vacated… then on january 4th, there is a series of matches, or a battle royal for the vacant title, which Jericho wins( meaning of course he is back on raw)… then Edge returns at the Royal Rumble and wins it( coming out of no where)… leads to this match, where edge has been hearing jericho talking trash for the last 7 months…

    ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
    GRUDGE MATCH
    JOHN CENA.V.THE ROCK
    SPECIAL REF: STONE COLD

    TRIPLE H .VS. SHEAMUS

    CM PUNK .VS. REY MYSTERIO
    ( Rey isnt actually leaving, but taking time off)

    RANDY ORTON.VS. TED DIBIASE

    (celebrity match that brings media attention)
    THE MIZ.VS. MICKEY ROURKE

    “I QUIT” MATCH
    MR. MCMAHON.VS. BRET HART

    RAW .VS. SMACKDOWN
    THE BIG SHOW.VS. BATISTA

    Vince did tell HBK on RAW tonite he would have to “make it happen” himself, winning the Royal Rumble wouldqualify as that.
