I bet Austin will end up on Smackdown instead, as he seems to REALLY hate Brian Gerwirtz (Raw booker) for one thing.
Anyway, no matter what happens I'll make a prediction that they'll **** it up big time, somehow, someway. You could give them the biggest dream angle ever (WCW vs WWF anybody?) and they'd **** it up worse than you'd ever think possible.
So did anyone watch the Rumble? After being bored to tears from Steiner and Triple H's "awesome match", I was damn ready for Angle/Benoit and they more than delivered. That WILL be the WWE Match of the Year for 2003 unless they fight eachother and top it, you can count on that.
This year I'd love to see Chris Benoit win the belt, he just ****ing has to. After that standing ovation at the Rumble, you'd think Vince would get a clue, but I don't count on it. There are a lot of new, fresh feuds that can be done too, but of course don't count on any of them happening. Face Benoit vs heel Edge, Face Benoit vs heel jericho, Face Benoit vs heel Triple H, face Benoit vs heel Austin again (hey, it kicked ass the first time so who cares if it's not exactly new), Face Benoit vs heel Rocky... And that's only feuds for Benoit of course.
And Joeiss, Austin a sad excuse for a wrestler? I haven't liked his character (well, I LOVED the days when he was a heel feuding with Bret and when he was a heel feuding with Benoit...) much, but damn he has had some of the most classic WWE matches of all time. Benoit vs Austin from SD May 2001 that I got to see live, Austin vs Hart WM 13 and Survivor Series 96, Austin vs Rock Wm 17... Of course there's a lot more, but those ones in particular stand out in my mind as truly awesome matches.
