Re: Genesis Discussion Thread
I think the card is shaping up well, even though they aren't giving enough attention to some of the matches.
Sting vs. Rhino: World Title - I really wish they would focus a little bit more on this. I mean I know you want to sell Angle vs. Jarrett II, but come on! I talked to somebody today who didn't even know this match was set. I'm glad its happening because I feel Rhino deserves a title shot. He won't win, but it'll be nice to see regardless. What I hope for is that they pull what Sting/Abyss did at Genesis 2006 and put on a match that is every bit as good as the Kurt Angle match that they are hyping like the main event.
Angle vs. Jarrett II = Should be the MOTN. We'll see what happens, but I expect another great match here. Angle will probably get his win back, but I wouldn't be too surprised if Jarrett won. If Jarrett wins, I expect a situation similar to the Eddie/Rey feud from a few years back where Angle will just completely lose his mind trying to get that elusive win over Jarrett.
Foley/AJ/Devon vs. Steiner/Booker/Nash = Obviously they are using Foley's in ring debut as a way to sell the PPV. I expect a fun little match here, and not much else. I think the faces will win, giving the Frontline a much needed PPV win in this feud.
Sabin vs. Shelley or EY: X Title Tourney Finals = I expect a Guns finals here which makes sense because thats what they've been hyping. If thats the route they go, it should be a really good technical match, but I fully expect Homicide to take the title from the winner via his Feast or Fired Title shot, and then Sabin & Shelley will have another reason to bitch, setting up a Foley/Shelley match down the line.
Christy vs. Kong: KO Title Lumberjill Match = I am actually really liking the storyline these two have going. I don't expect Christy to win the title, but at least they got me drawn in with what they are doing, and I wish they had done a little more with them on screen. Kong will win the match, but this story at the very least has been a short term solution to the lack of direction for the Knockouts.
