Simple question.

I feel that it's weird that all the matches seem to be normal matches, or am I forgetting something.

Will something be announced on the show itself?
Thoughts?

Stipulations dont make the card great.

This. The card looks pretty solid anyway. Maybe the HHH/Lesnar match should be a No DQ match, given the personal storyline, but Cena/Lesnar was No DQ, so I guess WWE think we've already seen that before so we don't want to see it again, idk, I just can't see them having a traditional wrestling match after everything that's happened (Lesnar kayfabe breaking HHH's arm, mentioning the kids and bringing Stephanie into it, attacking HBK, etc..)

Stipulations dont make the card great.

But they can make or break a feud.

Case in point: 2009, HHH vs Orton.
Everyone's conclusion: Good feud, great even, disappointing that the match at WM was a simple 1 on 1 match, despite the feud really needing a "hardcore" stipulation.

The match did have to follow HBK/Taker

Look at WMX8

The forgotten match is Jericho vs HHH because they had to follow The Rock vs Hulk Hogan

I'm also thinking HHH/Lesnar will be announced as no DQ. Or they'll just brawl it out anyways.

Street fight?

 

[HiddenViolence]

Street fight?

Well yeah that is pretty much the same as no DQ.

 

[Shawn Morrison]

yeah HHH/Lesnar desperately needs a stipulation, and i'm beginning to think they'll announce it at Summerslam.

 

[pwlax8]

Would kind of like to see some weapons in the fight. I feel like both guys need a few swings with the sledgehammer

 

[DonkMunk316]

i rekon HHH not lookin at the contract wen he signed mite be where a stipluation comes from

Trips Lesnar really should be no DQ. Im surprised they havent announced it as such. The only reason Cena Lesnar was as good as it was, was because it was no DQ.

 

[Frost99]

Silly OP

It's WWE 2012......

Which means there saving all the stips for those "SPECTACULAR" gimmick PPV's after (HIAC/TLC ect)

Sight, I miss the days when ANY match type could be on ANY card but alas those days are LONG gone....perhaps they'll return....per harps.

 

[SharpshooterSmith]

I actually really like that the show doesn't have any special stipulation matches. I feel like you don't need them to put on a good show. Stipulation matches should only be used when the situation calls for it and, from what I can see of the card, none of these matches warrant a stipulation. Other than HHH/Lesnar, of course, which I'm surprised hasn't been announced as a No DQ match yet. Perhaps that will be announced tomorrow. The rivalry is intense enough that it really should be some sort of No DQ match.

 

[Dustin13]

The card is still stacked. But it would be cool to see a no DQ match, or a ladder match or something of that nature.

 

[Felpent]

Yeah the main event needed a stip. Never quite connected with the crowd.

 

[Timber Timbre]

The problem isn't the lack of stipulation, it's the lack of stimulation. They had a hell in a Cell PPV last year, and the main event would've felt more threatening if the bout took place in a pool of Jello. The WWE have a habit of throwing in stipulations for the fuck of it, and it waters down it's value.

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

Meh with the addition of TLC, HIAC, Extreme Rules PPV's etc. It would seem a little redundant.

This. I completely forgot that Taker/HHH at WM28 was hell in a cell because the match was just so awesome on its own and they didnt even need the cell.
