Could work out ok though, it's kind of like when Bobby Lashley faced Cena at the great american bash that one time, quite the match that turned out to be as well. Though granted Lashley had a lot more experience than Sheamus does at the moment. Seems like quite a decent move to me, will only benefit from the experience. Means that they can free up HBK and HHH to develop into whatever they have planned for them as well...
Reckon that might be a defeat for DX tbh, or at least if they win they may then go on to dro the titles soon after, setting up a "we're not the team we once were" type thing which descends into a feud.
Yeah, has to happen soon as well, because there is inevitably a Jericho/Big Show feud to be had in the meantime. Perhaps if we are lucky, in the next few months Jericho can beat Taker, pick up the gold, lose the tag belts, feud with Show, beat him, and then Edge returns to face him for the World Title.
Yeah this should be awesome, about time Christian got some sort of serious feud and moved away from ECW as well to be honest. He's good there, don't get me wrong, but he is light years ahead of everyone else on that brand in terms of star quality and could probably be used better elsewhere now. Like you say though, nice chance for Shelton to showcase himself, though he clearly isn't going to walk out of this the winner.
Don't know to be honest, I wouldn't mind whoever won. I don't disagree with you that the logical choice may be for Rock to win, but would that really be credible? I mean, could a guy who hasn't had a competitive match in half a decade really beat someone who has been dominating for throughout the same time period? Bit dodgy. That said, if they built it up like they did the Rock/Lesnar match where they showed Rock working harder than he ever had to get into shape for the match they could make it work I suppose. I'd just want to see it mind you, more interested in a "Wrestlemania moment" rather than the result.
True, I remember the build up to the match a lot more than the match itself mind you. The way that feud was built was absolutely perfect, probably the best work Rock and Austin ever did. Whenever someone mentions WM17 my initial thought is of Edge spearing Jeff Hardy from the top of the ladder rather than anything else. Maybe the best WWE spot ever imo. Toss up between that and the Pedigree on the thumbtacks.
Angle suplexing Shane McMahon through the glass wall (and failing the first time) was ****ing nuts as well.
