WWE Thoughts

It's been a long two weeks or so for me. With the end of term, I didn't get a chance to finish my Backlash results and it's a little late to do them now. Gotta try better with Judgment Day. Speaking of Judgment Day, it seems JBL is going to be fighting for the World Title. This leads me to an interesting theory...JBL vs. RVD and One Night Stand 2 for the World Title. Follow me here...

Right after winner the MITB match, RVD said the timing was "extreme". This pretty much cements that he'll use the shot at One Night Stand 2. This past week on Raw, we had our first face to face of Cena and RVD as Cena left and RVD came out for the IC title defense. I consider this a ploy; they are waving Cena vs. RVD in our face to mask the truth...JBL vs. RVD at One Night Stand 2.

The World Title match for Judgment Day is Mysterio vs. JBL. I see JBL pulling out a cheating win here. Do you recall the leaders of the WWE factions that were at One Night Stand last year? Eric Bishoff and JBL. There was even some blowback with an incident between JBL and The Blue Meanie that came onto SmackDown for a few weeks.

Now, how to get RVD to notice JBL...easy, have JBL jump all over ECW. I say the week after Judgment Day, start doing the ECW tapings before SmackDown. Before the first match can start, have JBL's music hit and he comes down to the ring with some other SmackDown heels. He can run his mouth about ECW ("This isn't a bingo hall...", "Extremely Crappy Wrestling", etc, etc). Once he's done, the WWE gang rushes the ring and destroys the ECW guys. They could even rip into Joey Styles a bit. This can continue up to the Raw before One Night Stand 2.

That night on Raw, RVD calls Vince (or a GM if named by then) to the ring to announce that he is going to cash in. Before he can finish, Cena's (or whoever has the title then) music hits and he comes down. RVD will tell him to chill and that he isn't using his shot tonight...and not against you. Queue Teddy Long's music and he struts to the ring. Teddy gets on the mic and confirms that RVD will be using his MITB shot at One Night Stand 2 to challenge for JBL's World Title.

The next day on WWE.Com, they can have a video from JBL taunting RVD and challenging him to show up on SmackDown. That night, for the whole show, they have a camera watching for RVD to arrive. Near the end of the show, still no RVD. JBL and his crew from the ECW taping head to the ring and JBL again calls out RVD.

Nothing.

JBL then runs down ECW and RVD some more. RVD's music hits and the crowd goes nuts. RVD comes out on the ramp and stands there. JBL and his crew are then jumped from behind by the ECW stars they attacked. JBL tries to flee and is trapped on the ramp between RVD and the ECW stars. JBL ends up back in the ring and takes a few signature moves from the ECW stars before RVD walks down and gets on the mic.

"I hope you liked that, JBL, because that is just a taste of how EXTREME this Sunday will be. Our match at One Night Stand is an ECW Rules match!"

The crown goes wild.

Now, ask yourself, would you order One Night Stand 2 now?

Now, the big question...should RVD win the title? My gut reaction is yes. The main issue with this is then RVD has to move to SmackDown or the World Title comes back to Raw. Both pose issues:

- Move RVD to SmackDown and when Batista comes back, it's a foregone conclusion they are going to put the belt back on him. If RVD is squashed by Batista, it would destroy all the building they did here, but they've done it before.

- Move the World Title to Raw and now there is no major title on SmackDown....unless you turn the show into 100% ECW, but I doubt it with it being on network TV.

Of the two, I would wager on RVD coming to SmackDown, if this all happens, of course.

Well, enough for me, I should get back to work.
