T-Lo v. Johnny Ace Speculation
 

Now this is merely speculation on my part, and I haven't read anything about plans for this to actually happen, but judging from Raw, it looks like there's a chance that we'll get a match at Wrestlemania involving Theodore Long and John Laurinitas to see who gains control of both Raw and Smackdown.

It would be foolish and downright insulting to have the actual match be between the two of them, so I was thinking that maybe both men will find representatives and THOSE two will have a match. Otunga seems like a pretty clear choice for John's side. Who will be on Teddy's side? Maybe it'll be some sort of multi-man tag match involving Christian/Del Rio/Mark Henry as well? Are they even healthy enough to wrestle yet?

I dunno, I'm just thinking about the situation out loud at this point. How do you guys think it'll go down?

From Noid's Mania Card Thread...

They have 6 weeks to heal.

After the promo at the last PPV, I think there is no doubt it will be Christian, ADR and Henry, and probably Otunga in an 8 man tag. 8 Man tag matches have become a pretty common addition to WM the last few years.

We hit this up a bit in the raw thread, would love to see

Orton, Kofi, Santino and Anyone else that fits (Returning Rey? Young guy they are pushing like Ryan, Clay etc) facing those 4.

I like the idea of each of them having a representative, although Christian and Del Rio have been ready to wrestle for a few weeks now and Henry wrestled last night

Oh thank god, I thought you meant I the ring for a second there.

I'm not saying it won't happen, but with MITB allegedly being back on the card, I don't think it could support a multi-man tag match with enough talent to support that and MITB.

However, make MITB an even number of people and split them between Johhny's guys and Tesdy's guys for a little team element on top of going for the briefcase and decide it that way and it could be delightful.

Should have saved this Angle for Bragging Rights if they're bringing that PPV back.

Team Money in the Bank...that might be kinda awesome.

I don't mind Money in the Bank at Wrestlemania, and I actually prefer it there...but do they plan on keeping the Money in the Bank PPV still? If so, it's overkill.

Yeah, I nearly made Orton my 4th man for Teddy but I couldn't see them not featuring Orton in a bigger role.

Also, if there is a MitB, the likes of Christian, Cody, Del Rio, etc. should be in there.

NAh, the MITB PPV isn't on the schedule this year

They've already scrapped the Mitb PPV haven't they?

Also yeah I mentioned in another thread where I was trying to fit guys into both an 8 man tag for this as well as a Mitb but ran out of eligible faces quite quickly.

I would imagine Orton in a bigger role too, but now with the injury to Wade Barrett (who I was thinking would be Orton's opponent), they just might have to shoe horn him in somewhere else.

Christian, Del Rio, Henry, and Otunga vs. Orton, Ezekiel Jackson, Justin Gabriel, and Santino

Take out gabriel and add Rey Mysterio and you've probably got it

Instead, lets have Teddy Long Vs Johnny Ace in a steel cage match.

Yeah, that would make the angle much more sense.

called this before the chamber, either a one on one or Johnny Ace/Otunga vs. Teddy Long/Santino

want it to happen too, would be funny as fuck just like Cole v Lawler last yr.

Teddy Long vs. Johnny Ace *SD, RAW spoilers
 

As we saw at the Elimination Chamber, several superstars have sided with Johnny Ace and his bid to take over WWE television.

Teddy Long will not stand for this and the feud escalated at the end of this week's live Smackdown.

No one wants to see these two in an actual wrestling match and I'm sure WWE management would not put it on. Could there be a potential tag match/ elimination-tag match at Wrestlemania to settle the score?

Henry, Christian, Otunga, Del Rio

vs.

Santino, Justin Gabriel, "blank," "blank,"

I know there is a MITB match too, but guys like Kofi, Miz, R-Truth, Ziggler, etc.. should be in that... imo.

Does anyone think this could go through? Any other suggestions on who could be in the match? Any shocking return entrants or Legends who could add to this?

Money in the Bank:

1. Cody Rhodes
2. Dolph Ziggler
3. Jack Swagger
4. Justin Gabriel
5. Kane
6. Kofi Kingston
7. The Miz
8. R-Truth
9. Randy Orton
10. Ted DiBiase

Team Laurinaitis vs. Team Long:

Alberto Del Rio
Christian
David Otunga
Drew McIntyre
Mark Henry

Vs.

Big Show
The Great Khali
Rey Mysterio
Santino Marella
Shaquille O'Neal

* Dolph Ziggler wins Money in the Bank while Team Long defeats Team Laurinaitis after Drew McIntyre turns on the heels and helps Shaq get the pin on David Otunga.

So, whatever team wins that person gets power right? Is that how we're doing it. Could just be David Otunga vs. some Smackdown guy for it.

Instead of one briefcase hanging down, have 4. Depending on whick one you grab, it determines which title you get to challenge for within the next year. Like a small added bonus for winning for your GM.

i can see a ten man tag featuring

team laurinaitus
mark herny
david otunga
christian
alberto del rio
jack swagger
vs
team long
santino
ezeikal jackson
randy orton (if not in anything else if so drew mcintrye)
big show
rey mysterio (if heatlhy if not justin gabriel)

The way Big Zeke keeps getting bodied by Otunga, I dunno if he'll have a spot on the card or not. I'd be fine without him, honestly.

would never happen . WWE doesnt copy TNA ideas . Its the other way around .

I think an 8-man tag and an 8-man MITB is a great idea. I don't like guys not getting on Mania when a lot of them deserve it.

Team Larry - Mark Henry, Otunga, Swagger, and Cody vs Team Teddy - Big Show, Santino, Big Zeke, and Shaq (I guess)

MITB - Alberto Del Rio, Christian, Rey Rey, Dolph, Kofi, Orton, Gaybriel, and R-Truth

I would rather have ADR, Xian, and Rey in the tag match. It's easier to cover for ring rust if you put them in something where they basically only need to do their key spots than something with the expectations of MITB.

ADR, Christian, Henry, and Otunga vs. Rey, Santino, Zeke, and Khali

MITB - Orton vs. Dolph vs. Miz vs. Truth vs. Kofi vs. Drew vs. Gabriel vs. Swagger

Throw in Show vs. Cody, Beth vs. Kharma, and Ryder vs. Kane and that's a solid undercard to support the four big matches.

Teddy Long is horrible btw, absolutely horrible.

Come on now playa, holla holla!

I agree.

Nice one.

Wouldn't mind having MITB excluded from WM actually just as long it's not scrapped altogether and take place on a different PPV instead.

I can't see Jackson and Gabriel getting a WM payday over other people if they are leaving out the Mitb. Maybe put Kofi and R-Truth in their place in those teams.

On the other hand, I've got a feeling we might get Kofi and R-Truth vs Ziggler and Swagger for the tag titles, with one of the teams picking the belts up from Primo and Epico in the next couple of weeks.

Through all of this, I can't think of a match for The Miz :-\

That's a problem? Shit, the way Miz has been going on TV I don't wanna see him.
