He has been a fantastic servant of pro wrestling, six time world champion, eleven-time tag champion, and the only active title he has not held is the Intercontinental title.

For Rhodes to move up the ladder, which will happen eventually, he will have to drop the Intercontinental Title, and what better way to do it than have an awesome match at Wrestlemania, lose the title, and win a Money in the Bank type match?
And it allows Big Show to have a good run with the belt, as a face against Jinder Mahal, Drew McIntyre (when he returns), Jack Swagger type heels, putting them over in his final run?



IMO your miles off in your summation of The Big Show. 40 is not that old by Wrestling standards and he rarely has to bump much. WWE lacks quality big men and he works well as heel or face and still has plenty of guys to put over as Champions in the years to come as well as at least one more World title run himself. I was told the other day as well that he has openly stated that he will work for Vince as long as the company will have him. Final run :o , i think not

I almost threw up a little in my mouth at the Punk/Jericho segment. Moreso the attempt at a beaten/forlorn look by CMP at the 'stunning revelation'.. :roll: :ymsick:

John Cena was uninjured, and will likely miss no WWE programming, despite being involved in a minor car accident last night.

Got me thinking though, nearly a full year of hype, what if he broke his leg?

Then they could bring out Zack Gowen, Darren Drozdof and Lex Lugar as a stable and have them work as the heels.
