so what do they do with the DX angle now?

replace HHH for WreslteMania? X-Pac? Mick Foely? The Rock? Hogan? Piper? it would have to be a HUGE name to build any interest

Turn Michaels?

Turn Edge and RKO on each other?

[WMD]

Hmm.. I think DX is done. I'm going to guess that on Raw, they have a Rated RKO vs. Shawn Michaels, handicapped match.. if Rated RKO wins, DX has to break up.. if HBK wins, Rated RKO has to break up.. Something along those lines.

well...

Foley is likely fighting McMahon, The Rock isn't going to be wrestling again, at least anytime soon, Piper has cancer and is being treated atm, Stone Cold is too injured to wrestle again, really. Hogan is the only option, and he will not likely headline another Wrestlemania.

I don't think there are enough big name faces on Raw to turn one heel. I mean, you have HBK... and... Cena... and... who? Hardy? Flair? They are severely lacking in quality faces. You could move CM Punk or RVD over from ECW, since its a sinking ship.

You could take Batista from Smackdown, I wouldn't mind.. Smackdown is the best thing going in the WWE, and one of its only weak points is Batista.

Monty Brown has yet to debut, and rumors are that he is going to be a Raw main eventer, I guess you could make him a face, but I like him more as a heel, and maybe turn Edge face, I don't know.

I think the RKO angle was going to lead into them turning on each other anyway, with one going after the wwe title and leaving the other in the dust.

I'd love to see a Shawn Michaels vs. Edge feud, preferably for the belt. But eh, not likely.

[WMD]

You know what'd be awesome.. is a CM Punk vs. HBK match..

[TH3]

bold and not so predictions for this year
The Rock will face RKO soemtime during this year...
ECW will not last through July (nor does it need to)...
Rey Mysterio will become a jobber(due to his contract)
JBL will make a half ass ring return...
Montty Brown will whip Cena's ass at some point...
2008 prediction
Brock Lesnar back in ring after a failed MMA career

Yes yes, Ricks idea.

And ya WMD, it would indeed.

TH3, Mysterio was a jobber when he was champion, si it would be nothing new.

So who won what matches last night? Did Cena come out on top or did Umaga dominate him like everyone is expected?

[portermvp84]

Did he win?

[comahan]

Of course not, Supercena always wins.. :? :?

[portermvp84]

Hell yeah thats what I'm talking about, but I did figure Umaga would wipe the floor with him.

the wierd think about HHH's injury is it was 5 years to the day he originally tore his quad

[comahan]

Triple H is in Birmingham, Ala. right now having his leg injury from last night's PPV examined. Today's diagnosis is a quadriceps tear on the opposite leg of his last injury. He is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow.

He tore his other quad on May 21, 2001 and returned about eight months later. Typical recovery time for this injury is nine months. After surgery, he will be in a wheel chair for a month or two, then on crutches for another two months, and then wear a leg immobilizer for another stretch of time, before moving into the rehab stage.

If he follows a typical recovery time pattern, he won't be able to return to action until around October 2007, missing WrestleMania and Summerslam.

The tentative main event for WrestleMania was Triple H challenging John Cena for the WWE Title. That will not happen now, obviously. A new WrestleMania main event will have to be devised, and the DX gimmick will probably be discontinued, barring Shawn Michaels "recruiting" a new member to take Hunter's place.

Vince McMahon and Kevin Nash suffered similar quad tears in recent years. Nash was out nine month. He did not continue wrestling his match when he tore his quad. Hunter did, putting other body parts and his opponents at risk of injury as he finished the match. Hunter wraps his knees tightly before wrestling to protect the knee, but it could also conceivably lead to a tendency to more easily tear a quad. It also might stabilize his legs even with a torn quad so he was more able to complete a match than someone suffering the same injury without his knees wrapped. Having suffered the same injury on his other leg in 2001, he probably immediately knew what happened.

Michaels, meanwhile, has shown signs of being very worn down by the schedule and in need of time off himself, increasingly so over the last year. The Triple H injury puts more pressure on him to work through his fatigue and nagging injuries (including continuing issues with his lower back, which forced his retirement at one point) at least through fall.

So the main event picture remains John Cena and Edge/Orton. I guess we'll expect an Orton/Cena WM main event then.

Another Trips update...

Triple H tears quadriceps tendon

Written: January 8, 2007

Following an MRI with Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala. on Monday, Triple H was diagnosed with a ruptured quadriceps tendon.

Officially, The Game suffered a tear of one of the four tendons in his right quadriceps. The injury occurred during DX's match with Rated-RKO at New Year's Revolution. Surgery will be performed on Tuesday in Alabama, and WWE doctor Ferdinand Rios estimates that The Game will need four to six months to rehabilitate the injury.

While he was in a tremendous amount of pain prior to the MRI, Triple H was said to be in great spirits and had a smile on his face.

So, 4-6 months of rehabilitation.

Pah. Vince ruins lives. And while it isn't as bad as the abysmal Raw last week, it still isn't what Smackdown has become.
