i know ull be around sunday night fedex cause you know i got them links :D

[BazookaJoe5]

I don't think Taker has ever tapped and he most certainly won't now, so I have no idea what happens on Sunday in that. I think Taker gets one more run with the belt but Punk is just too hot right now to take the belt off him. I just don't see how Punk wins. It's Taker, I mean...I dunno. Kudos to WWE for having me interested in seeing what happens though.

another thing who is the guy that is destroying R truth night in and night out?? Where did he come from, and do you think there will ever be a instance where ( non drug or suspension related) that a guy can come in and get such a push that they have him beat the champ first match.

And predictions on this sundays match between punk and taker?

No way taker lifts the belt off of punk now but no way punk makes taker tap, he isn't ready fot that type o win. < that would elevate even punk to a level I don't think he's ready for yet

The guy beating the crap out of R-Truth is Drew McIntyre. They've had him in development for a couple of years, and he had a short stint on SD in about 2007. Seems like a guy they have high hopes for and from what I've seen, he was doing pretty well in FCW. He had the belt there before losing it to Reks.

I doubt we see a monster push like that anytime soon. Even a Lesnar push. The Lesnar deal was both a success and a failure for the WWE. A success in that he did get over, but a failure in that he left wrestling so quickly.

I'm curious how they work out the Taker-Punk match. I could see Taker get a short "thank you" run with the belt if he really is closing in on retirement. But it would indeed be short - such as having him drop it back to Punk at the next PPV, because Taker doesn't work full time and would not likely do the full schedule required of a champion (same reason for HBK). Having Punk get a clean win over Taker at the next PPV could really establish Punk as the top star on the brand and the full equal to someone like Edge. I don't like them shotting the belt around that much, but it would work.

Speaking of FCW, Washington I heard has a pretty bad ass heel stable going on ala the Corporation where he is the leader, he has great mic skills as weve seen on ECW and he was over for a while but I don't recall why but now the fans boo him to holy hell. I wish there was some way to watch FCW as I would tune in every week.

[Derrville]

Taker will tap.

Rock Tapped
Austin tapped
Hogan tapped

They all tap.

I've actually been watching FCW since about June (downloaded the episodes recently, but still). Its kinda cool to see guys who may have a future in the E. Many won't make the cut, but a few seem to have "it".

Washington is the same basic character on FCW as ECW, but he doesn't do as much with the stupid dated jokes in FCW. He's good on FCW and one of the most fun characters, but I wouldn't say he's amazingly brilliant. Good enough that I hope to see the E use him in a similar role on ECW at some point. Bringing up the fact that he's the GM on the development brand and have him get into some type of power struggle with Tiffany would be a great storyline, and provide reason for the introduction of more FCW guys into ECW, even if just for short stints.

Taker will tap.

Rock Tapped
Austin tapped
Hogan tapped

They all tap.

They also all lost at WrestleMania at some point. Certain things are kept different to differentiate guys.

No, he won't. He never has and I can tell you with absolute certainty that he will not be tapping to CM Punk or anyone else from now until he retires. It's not only part of his gimmick, if he was ever going to tap it would be to someone like HHH or Michaels, a company guy, there is no chance in hell they have him submit to Punk.

Also, the John Morrison v. Dolph Ziggler match is off the PPV. Because, we clearly need more DX and another Kane v. Khali match.

[Kuzzy Powers]

The best way to work out the Taker match is have Punk snap and just beat Taker silly with a chair or something till hes not able to tap, hes just flat out out cold. And the ref stops it as a "submission" cause hes unable to continue. Works for Punk, works for Taker, works for everyone.

Not to Punk, but he will tap. Austins thing was that he'd never Tap or quit either, and look how that ended. He will tap before he retires. If Benoit or Angle were still in WWE i think he would have already.

Wasnt there a botch where Taker tapped to Angle but pinned Angle at the same time?

[EmpireWF]

Taker is not tapping to Punk.
