posted 02:21 AM ...well this has been a subject of some speculation since it appears the wwf will use that angle in bringing Austin back. Based on comments he made on his web page, I believe the driver will turn out to be...Shawn Michaels. Michaels says he's been working out and hints at coming back for "one more match" Since Michaels and Austin both live in San Antonio or that area, its not a stretch to think they might be working out together. And the angle is there in that they can say that HBK has never gotten over losing to Austin at Wrestlemania. And with all the money the WWF has been paying him, they probably would like to pop one more ppv out of Michaels. Then again, maybe it will be Hogan? IP: Logged

posted 02:51 AM Wild cards: Nancy Sullivan, Rod Price, Cheech Marin, and Lady Blossom. Hogan would be good (but then they'd actually have to do a match). Michaels would be the best scenario if he can actually go, especially since they never did their rematch. IP: Logged

posted 03:08 AM yeah but wrestlemania 2001 will almost certainly be austin-the rock, with austin as the heel. they'd do austin-michaels at survivor series or royal rumble. IP: Logged

posted 10:24 AM The best guess I've seen so far is Shawn Michaels. Here are a few possibilities that make some sense. 1. Vince McMahon- for obvious reasons 2. Kane- Kane is getting the monster heel push right now and I have a feeling he will win the WWF title in the upcoming 4 way bout. 3. Steve McMichael- A longshot I know but it would make for a great angle until he and Austin actually had to wrestle. 4. HHH- They want HHH to remain a heel so what better way to do that than have him be the limo driver. 5. The Rock- It would jump start the Austin-Rock feud but I don't think it will be Rock cuz running over someone with a car is a bit too heelish for the Rock. Jim PS I hope it is not The Big Show!!!

posted 11:45 AM I think it's gonna be Frank Dusek...or maybe Hijo... I don't see it being anyone that was under contract to another organization at the time of the incident...methinks that could lead to another lawsuit like the recently settled one over Hall & Nash "invading" WCW... IP: Logged

posted 03:22 PM Seriously though. Money in the bank? Make the driver Kurt Angle. Have Angle frame HHH for it. Put the belt on Angle (since Rock doesn't need it to draw and Austin's always best when he's the lone wolf chasing the gold). Let HHH and Austin feud briefly, then when it's revealed that Kurt was driving the car, Angle, Steph, and Shane can form their little Horsemen-like stable with Edge, Christian, and Benoit. HHH goes full-fledged babyface and unites with Rock, Austin, Undertaker, etc. to fight the heels. Then you've got a slew of fresh match-ups. Also, I still say there's money in Benoit as a top kickass babyface if they just figure out how to do it (and it's so simple ... I see it in my mind sooo clearly, dammit). Also, Jericho's kinda bottoming out so a big heel turn might not be out of the question to jack him up too. Can you imagine a re-formation of his team with Eddy Guerrero to feud with the likes of the Hardyz and Edge & Christian (who are starting to get babyface pops because they're so entertaining).

posted 03:56 PM Richard: color me embarrased, or just flat out stupid, I got all of the suspect references except Nancy Sullivan. Did she and the Hollywood blond have a thing . Boy if they did she gets around , Huh? I thuink it makes perfectly good sense if HBK was the driver but I can also see it being Vinnie. My dark horse pick:Good Ol' J.R.. I know that acvtually seems russoish but hey ya just never know. Maybe the whole reason they arte doing this Taz v. Ross thing and have lawler come to his aid to to start J.R.s run as a heel manager. He could get guys like Lawler Kane the dudleys and others and Austin can kick his ass and retire. MAybe they can set up and frame Michaels then have Stone Cold and HBK team up in a retirement match that sends Ross back to the booth. IP: Logged

posted 04:30 PM Sorry Hijo...I don't like a stable of Angle, Gurrero, Edge & Christian against guys like Rock, Austin, Undertaker et al....too many little guys as heels going against too many bigger guys as faces...to me, it looks pretty silly when a guy the size of UT sells for cruiserweight-size opponents...I caught part of the Rock & UT tag against Edge & Christian, and UT in the Ricky Morton face-in-peril role was almost slapstick comedy...

posted 05:33 PM Judy Bagwell or TaZZ ? The only way anyone truly enjoys this angle is if it is : HBK or Vince, even thou Stone cold and Vince feud is old its something we havent seen in 7 months and the HHH-Rock-Angle 3some needs some new blood in it .

HBK would be great for a build up for Wrestlemania 2001 in the AstroDome When WWF trys to reset the Indoor attendence record . IP: Logged

posted 07:50 PM Well, Steve DID refer to Nancy as a $5 dollar piece of ass at one time while they were in ECW together. He also told her not to get pissed off at him because it was her who married a midget, not him. So I guess she could be bitter about SOMETHING. IP: Logged

posted 09:09 AM Mongo McMichael. Have Mongo stumble out of his 4X4, wearing a feedstore gimme cap and surrounded by Shiner Bock beer bottles. Then Steve gets out of his truck, stumbles over to the Dreaded Mop Bucket of Doom, the same one that blinded him, and dumps it all over SCSA and Deb. "How's that for a wet t-shirt, babeee! I paid for those b00bs, boy!!" Mongo and SCSA have a 7-star mat classic at the Survivor Series. IP: Logged

posted 04:58 PM I'm surprised no one has suggested Billy Gunn or Raven considering they are going to show up on tv soon. The whole framing HHH thing could work for Gunn especially since he has heat with his former DX buddies for beating him up. And I was under the impression he and Austin were friends in real life and Austin was behind Gunn's last push despite Gunn's idiotic gimmick, really bad music, and lazy work ethic. As for Raven it makes no storyline sense but would be a sort of surprise. Of course, throwing Raven into an angle with Austin right away sorta skips the "Raven's-got-to-prove-himself" thing. I would be very disappointed if it were Vince. I guess Kurt Angle or Steph would be good options especially if they first framed HHH like was suggested previously. And as long as we are musing about outrageous options, here're two that lack taste or good sense: Melanie Pillman or Owen Hart's widow (Martha?). kelly

posted 03:52 PM Grey, I strongly disagree about a heel stable of "little guys" not working in a feud with larger babyfaces. I seem to remember a group called the original Four Horsemen drawing pretty well against Nikita Koloff, The Road Warriors, etc. for a number of years. IP: Logged

posted 05:53 PM What about Raven? I really wanted to say that, although Kelly did mention him first, as well as point out (and I agree 100%) that it would fun, but they are better off pushing someone who has been there already. I am a big Billy Gunn fan, and agree with that scenario.

My fave suggestion has been Mongo - WOW! So many layers of meaning, work, and shoot.

My prediction is that someone will be accused, but then they can reveal later on who gave the orders, the mastermind, if you will - Vince, Shane, JR, Raven, Kane (it's all been an act...).

posted 05:05 PM Hotstuff-- I think that's an excellent idea to have Austin blame Rock despite all evidence to the contrary. And if it is revealed to be Mick Foley but Mick insists he did it at Rock's bidding (and with his rental car). I doubt Tazz will be the perp either. I'm just praying its not Vince. Of course, the writers probably doesn't know who it is yet either! IP: Logged
