Barrett/Kingston. Should've been a WrestleMania finish. Excellently executed.

Christian is really carrying Edge's part of this feud. Everyone is coming off tough, with the result at Mania still being a question. I hope he stays face as Del Rio's first title challenger.

Christian should definitely be ADRs first title defense/feud. Then Christian should be moved to Raw and challenge Miz (if he keeps his belt...i hope he does) for his belt.

Good call, my man. That was great.

Man... What do they do with Kingston now? He has just been treated like crap ever since winning the IC title... Now he doesn't even have that..

Unless it's a setup for him to either go heel, or go into mega rage face mode, step up, and challenge ADR after Wrestlemania, I don't see where he can go.

I agree. I wouldn't be shocked to see him get FE'ed. I don't think he will, but he's been booked so shoddily it wouldn't surprise me and I think that's a shame.

They would be insane to FE him. His upside is so huge, honestly. The guy can cut a promo when they let him, he's actually a very good talker.. He gets the kids all crazy fired up, and the adults don't hate him either. He has spells of sloppiness but can be counted on more often than not to put on a good to great match..

Him getting FE'd to me would have to be one of the bigger failures of the WWE machine in recent history.

Why is R Truth still employed?

I am all for a huge Christian push, but why are they putting him over Del Rio twice before Wrestlemania? Christian isn't facing him at WM, Edge is.

Either they're going to add him to the World title match at WM or they're setting him up to face the winner at the next PPV. Either way, I think Christian's getting a big push out of this.

Handsome Padje · « **Reply #12 on:** March 26, 2011, 05:57:54 AM »

They're not firing any popular black guys any time soon. Not unless Kofi has 'issues' or something like that.

This is probably just to bring Kofi into the Smackdown vs Corre Mania match.

POE-Bot Activated! · « **Reply #13 on:** March 26, 2011, 08:12:25 AM »

I think the WWE will send Kofi to Raw and have him win the US title before he gets FE'ed. Either that or he feuds with ADR too after ADR wins the World title.

Torgo · « **Reply #14 on:** March 26, 2011, 12:08:09 PM »

I liked this show from start to finish, pretty much.

The finish to Wade/Kofi was great. I liked Christian hitting ADR with the chair cuz Edge couldn't. I liked Michael Cole ripping on R-Truth. I liked the whole damn thing.

I wouldn't move him directly from being defeated in a title shot on the Smackdown side right into a title feud on the RAW side. He'd be easy fodder for the Champ as someone who just lost one big money match and coming into another.

A couple options:

1) Feud him with Del Rio after ADR wins at WM. Christian loses that title feud, and then stick him with Edge.
2) Lose to Del Rio, move to RAW, beat a few upper guys, and THEN get his title shot. But not right away.

Even better was Christian pulling the chair away from Edge, pregnant pause, then waffling ADR.

Handsome Padje · « **Reply #17 on:** March 26, 2011, 08:53:05 PM »

Christian comes across as an intelligent person, not just in character, but in a real life sense.

FreebirdSTF · « **Reply #18 on:** March 26, 2011, 09:03:26 PM »

It took me a long time to warm up to either Edge or Christian, but I'm definitely a fan now. I like Christian's TNA nickname "Instant Classic."
