I don't know why you think it's between them. I feel it's between Jericho and MVP. I got Jericho winning although I want Morrison or MVP.

I doubt that anyone thinks Carlito's going to win or even wants him in the match.

While I thought about the Jericho possibility (and it'd give him a reason to hang around the main event scene without looking like a tard vs. JBL and the like) .. I don't think they really want to push someone like Jericho with a victory here. MITB is kind of like the new King of the Ring ... where it's used to launch up-and-coming guys on the path to stardom. Kennedy's path was cut short last year, so I think they could give him another shot this year. However, if they continue with the "who is McMahon's son" storyline Kennedy could be involved in that, leaving it open for MVP or Morrison.

Why I don't think MVP will win: Matt Hardy. MVP wins MITB, and Hardy comes back to do what... beat him for the US Title? IMO, that makes MVP look bad.

I would REALLY like to see Benjamin win it, as I think he has the tools to go far... but for some reason WWE has no idea what to do with him.

Jericho hasn't been WWE champion in so long that it would be like him winning for the first time if he ever does win it again.

Every time Kennedy's been considered for a big program something's screwed it up. I don't think they're even as high on him anymore either. He hasn't really done anything all year.

Yes, Hardy can still beat MVP for the title. Remember, he doesn't have to use the title shot for a year. They have a year to build him up. Also, RVD lost the Intercontinental title less than a month before he used his MITB briefcase to win the title.

I see your point with the RVD validation, but consider that it's RVD .. and it was leading to the fall of a deeply hated Cena at an ECW event.

MVP is no RVD .. but I do see your point.

It's not like Kennedy was being built up that strong after he won MITB last year. I think he had lost to Matt Hardy on Smackdown sometime between him winning MITB and his injury.

I think Davidson really has a good shot at knocking off Wisconsin.

So, did anybody actually watch Wrestlemania last night?

I've only seen the MITB match and Belfast Brawl so far. The Brawl was good and the MITB match was awesome. Morrison's moonsault was awesome. Shelton looked like he died.

Tonight's Raw had maybe the greatest ending to a Raw ever. It's nice to have a tribute to someone that didn't just die.

I kept waiting for the angle to come in.

Michaels a kick or something.

Is Batista supposed to be the heel here for hating Michaels now? Or is Michaels the guy for killing flair?

I'm sure it's going to be Batista who's the heel. Quite frankly, both of them could use a heel turn.

I don't think the fans are ready for a HBK heel turn already.

Batista on the other hand, is well overdue for one. Nobody really cares about him as a face, so he needs to do something.

HBK's short heel turn in 2005 was the best thing that happened that year.

Batista doesn't have much to do anymore as a face anyways. A heel turn and a move to Raw would really help him.

A heel turn on Smackdown would benefit both Smackdown and Batista.

They have no characters worth a shit right now.

They already got the 2 best heels in the company, Edge and MVP.
