Backstage News, Possible Spoilers For WWE Hell in a Cell

October 3, 2009

WWE Hell in a Cell news and notes courtesy F4WOnline.com:

– Though Chris Jericho and Big Show have been widely praised for their character performances as Unified Tag Champions, few of their title matches have earned much acclaim. The hope within WWE, particularly due to the Chris Jericho-Rey Mysterio dynamic, is that Jericho, Show, Mysterio and Dave Batista can work a strong match tomorrow.

– As is usually the case with Divas matches, and notably so when the main-events are likely to be booked in to each get a decent amount of time, Mickie James vs. Alicia Fox is expected to be short.

– Booking for the World Heavyweight Championship match between The Undertaker and CM Punk has reportedly gone back-and-forth in discussions. When Punk was booked to win at last month’s show, most were under the impression that Undertaker would get the victory at Hell in a Cell; as of press time, the SmackDown! roster is reportedly still under the impression that tomorrow will mark the beginning of Undertaker’s latest title reign.

Of course, there is a school of thought in favor of Punk winning, especially since there is a feeling that he was not booked to become a significantly stronger force over the past month (and because Punk, unlike Undertaker, works a regular house show schedule). So while Undertaker has been penciled in to win, some have been pushing for Punk to keep the gold.

    Why not have The Undertaker win the gold, and develop some sort of Ministry of Darkness or get behind a new gothic athlete to claim the Dark Side or some crap when he is absent or has other prior affairs on the Dark Side. LoL! This Minion takes over on the Dark Side for Taker and defends the Championship for him. Lol!

    It be a great way to develop a new talent. Perhaps it could even be a way for Taker to have one more run as a heel athlete. Given it will be remarkably hard to get the fans to boo The Undertaker, he will have to literally insult the fans. I don’t know. Just an idea!

    This is a very good idea…it’s time to develop the evil side of a couple of different wrestlers…perhaps William Regal or Randy Orton could be pushed that little extra and turn to the “dark side”,or someone like Chris Masters or Charlie Haas, who I think could do a very credible evil,heel turn…or bring back Raven or …the list goes on…but it’s time for some very evil,vile happenings in the WWE nation.Where is Paul E. when you really need a bad guy?

    Why even let the ‘Taker be the catalyst…perhaps the evil should find him lacking….a new,stronger evil,kind of a Kevin Sullivanesque character…make the dark of the Undertaker seem to be destroyed and driven into the beyond by the new stronger dark!

    I say it is time taker takes the title holds it for a few months if you have taker go futher to a darker side then he would be unbeatable and any setup for a defeat after that would not even keep anyone interested ratings would go fast and interest in matches would no longer be no keep taker the way he is but find some one else and bring in some one that maybe paul bearer would brin in as a long lost more darker foe who taker can’t beat and doesn’t beatbut give that new person time to build up to be the nastiest the baddest the darkest force ever known in wwe history as for punk time to end him down to the botom of the latter so to speak
