Morrison and Miz are technically part of ECW, but obviously they wrestle on anything but ECW. Finlay is also on there, but the WWE really destroyed his character the last year. That guy doesn't get enough credit, seriously... He's 50 years-old and he wrestles as if he was in his 20's. People say Flair found the Fountain of Youth, but I think it's Finlay who discovered it.

Anyway, so tonight Wrestlemania is finally going to start taking shape. Kinda odd because usually by now we have some sort of idea about what's going to happen, but since they went with the double Elimination Chamber match at NWO we have to wait longer.

I will be trying to watch it. Justin.tv is a website that has a bunch of streams of the WWE PPV's. Sadly this has become the best source for watching the PPV's every month as I believe the WWE has started to crack down on the free streaming. My sure-thing website has since discontinued broadcasting WWE PPV's for this reason I believe. Those bastards

Anyway, I think Cena retains, which is pretty clear given who's in the match and what has been going on in storylines lately. If anyone has a decent shot at winning it other than Cena then it's Kane since he doesn't have anything going on right now. Christ, could we be headed for a WM without Kane?

Smackdown is harder to call. They're obviously building towards Jeff vs Matt at WM, so that excludes Jeff I think. It also appears they're working towards Show vs Taker... again (they feuded over the whole summer don't forget), and Kozlof is just sort of there right now since they sort of quietly ended his feud with HHH. Real shame because he could be the monster heel on Smackdown if they were to use him better. So that leaves Edge to retain or HHH to win. I am gonna say that Edge will win and HHH will challenge at WM. Not really that excited about that, but that appears to make the most sense. Of course the X-factor in this match is Umaga, who could get involved but I don't think that would have any effect on HHH or Edge winning. If anything I believe it would serve as a means to start something with Taker or possibly Kozlof.

Well WWE is going to be in a strange state of confusion till WM it seems well maybe not.

SPOILERS

Vince sure did mess with fans this time. I thought for sure Jeff would have one his EC match so that his brother would have challenged him at WM but nope they gave it to Triple H making this his 13th title run 3 more away and he's tied Flair. Also Edge took out Kofi so he could go to Raw's EC match and he ended up winning that. So now SD has two champs. However I would expect Triple H to jump over to Raw with the WWE title since his wife is runing it, that and it'd make more sense for Orton to challenge for that title since he has more history with Triple H as opposed to Edge.

END SPOILERS

[Brick Side]

Ah, that isn't a spoiler, Tom. It's fact right now. Besides, I already mentioned it above.

But yeah, I can't say I really like this situation we're in that much. I really would hate to have HHH, Batista, and Cena on the same show and while Edge on Raw again would be cool, they don't need him. You got JBL and Jericho as the current mega-heels, with Orton as the tweener. However, if Edge does go to Raw I can't say i'll be complainin' too much, and it could mean great things for Matt Hardy on Smackdown.

Edge isn't moving - he's set to team up with Matt Hardy soon as a tag team, according to reports and local ads.

I guess this is how the belts separate again.....the WWE title to RAW and the World Heavy Heavyweight to SD!.

I do see Triple H going to Raw and feuding with Orton, though, with Orton finally getting the title at WM.

We won't see Jeff or Matt in the main event, but in a gimmick match, I guess, since their "feud"(there hasn't been any build-up, as far as I've seen) needs a climax and WM seems the perfect place to do it.

RAW's gonna be interesting, considering Orton and Edge's win(and Kofi's beatdown).

I wonder if they'll actually lift the "talent wall" like they do with ECW just for Edge...or who'd cash in on the title this time....

What if.....they gave it to.......Kofi? It'd make sense, since he'd want payback from the beatdown and would want to face Edge one-on-one......or maybe Rey or Jericho.....or heck, why not - return it to Cena and have a Battle Royale.

[Brick Side]

Supposively the Hardy/Edge team isn't happening anymore since the events of last night.

Again, i'd absolutely hate to see HHH on Raw. If he's there then Cena has to go to Smackdown. That is seriously beyond overkill having him, Cena, and Batista (the 3 guys ALWAYS in contention for the title over the last 4 years) on one brand. I like what they have going on now with Raw, especially when Cena is getting limited TV time and not doing any of his lame, redundant promos. Regardless, I don't think Orton is going anywhere. Vince wouldn't dare break up the Legacy so soon, especially when they are over with the crowd.

In any case, do the titles really need to switch brands, again? They finally got it right last year with the World Tag Titles and World Title on one show, same with the other titles. Why must this 2 champions on 1 brand predicament once again be the focus of the company like it was a year ago? Blah, who knows. Just keep Orton on Raw, and HHH on Smackdown and i'll be happy. Although with Stephanie being a regular character on Raw now, I am a bit worried HHH would have himself moved back over.

Actually, it just occurred to me... What if Stephanie doesn't recognize Edge as the champ on Raw because he wasn't officially put into the match? Hate to have Edge get another short title reign, but why not have a tournament on Raw for the vacant title? The winner faces Orton in the finals at WM. I can't remember what WM they did that with, but I do believe it was one of the earlier ones.
