The Rumble

Shelton benjamin is also in the rumble, as he stated on the last showing of ECW. Should addd him to the wikipedia site.. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rko316632 (talk • contribs) 21:40, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

This just announced, MVP will take on Ric Flair at The Royal Rumble in a Career Threatening Match. I think MVP has this one in the bag. 1/2 man... 1/2 amazing! Its not up on wikipedia yet, but its confirmed through wwe.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.162.51.233 (talk) 18:43, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Why can't we add the Rumble itself to the card? It's fucking rediculous.209.247.21.121 08:29, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Because we only add matches that have been announced, and WWE doesn't announce matches 6 months in advance. TJ Spyke 21:22, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

so are you saying there wont be a royal rumble match? 84.64.12.40 17:59, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

No, and I never implied it. I am just saying that we don't add matches until they are announced. TJ Spyke 23:28, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Its really not that hard 30 man over the top Royal Rumble Match for a shot at the wwe,world,or Ecw title its not that hard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.1.185.92 (talk • contribs)

We've disputed this in the past. I personally agree that it's fucking ridiculous, but that's just the way it's going to be. Sorry, The Hybrid 18:56, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

It's not that difficul to understand really. We only add announced matches, and no matches have been announced. TJ Spyke 00:31, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

The ppv itself is based on the match. It's named after it. We already know what to write, 30 man over-the-top-rope battle royal for #1 contendership of the WWE, World, or ECW title, or some variation of that. The Royal Rumble match is never officially announced by WWE, because they know that it doesn't need to be. (Sawyer 02:49, 15 August 2007 (UTC))

1)Yes it is confirmed by WWE, usually in late December/early January. Second, we don't add matches before they are announced. TJ Spyke 23:34, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but remember Survivor Series was based around the Survivor Tag Team matches, and in 1998 and 2002, they didnt have a single Traditional Survivor Series tag match on the card, so just because somethings always been doesnt mean WWE wont try and "shake things up", though they'd be idiotic to do so. Masterofdestiny (talk) 04:10, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Match is still to be announced, so stop adding it! Allthough it is most likely to happen, we go by what wwe.com says. and they dont list it yet. Diivoo (talk) 21:28, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Wrong! Wikipedia is a place where you are allowed to site many sources, we are not just a shill from wwe.com, a reilable source is listing the match, so the match will take place. If you actually read the WWE.com posting under history it says "This pay-per-view is one of the most highly anticipated of the year because of the one-of-a-kind Royal Rumble Match. Scroll through the Royal Rumble results year by year and relive all the eliminations and winning moments." So look, everybody keeps on saying "Show a source" I finally found one, so quit your bitching, and leave it up, gosh a week or two before they actually post it on the "Matches Section" of your favorite website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.233.138.75 (talk) 06:34, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Just saying, at the SummerSlam event, i provided an official wwe video as a source for a match and was told, that the match will not be added until announced on wwe.com - so i'm telling you the same. Diivoo (talk) 10:44, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Madison Square Garden

According to PWInsider, who we can't post links to on here, WWE have confirmed that the 2008 Rumble will be at Madison Square Garden. When should we add this to the main page? Steveweiser 15:06, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Wait until a reliable source (such as from WWE.com) comes up. Wrestling forum sites, like PWInsider, can sometimes deliver false information. For an important PPV like the Royal Rumble, I would think that the location would be officially announced on WWE.com first than that a forum site. MITB LS 03:14, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree, unless it has been announced by WWE or a venue, it should not be cited. --Zii_XFS 21:37, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

WWE HAS confirmed this when I call fan servcies at (203) 352-8600. Can we post it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.233.88.65 (talk) 13:19, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

The only thing confirmed in the city (New York) and that is because of a contest page at wwe.com, no venue has been announced yet. TJ Spyke 23:34, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

WWE HAS CONFIRMED AT ITS MSG AND IM GONNA GO YEA MUTHAFUCKAAAAAAAAAAAA —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.2.190.150 (talk) 20:31, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

You'll be reverted as a vandal if you add it, plain and simple. The Hybrid 02:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Fucking idiots, it doesn't need to be announced, the PPV itself already announces that. I wouldn't be surprised if the WWE did do a Royal Rumble PPV without the Royal Rumble match. Lol. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.55.84.42 (talk) 07:48, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Royal Rumble IS at MSG, a WWE competition has confirmed it. Plus it's also on WWE.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by SAH-DennyCrane (talk • contribs) 13:13, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Provide a actual source (i.e. the weblink). The only RR 2008 mentions I am seeing on their site are regarding the Jackass contest, which only mentions the city and not the arena. TJ Spyke 23:29, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

The Holiday 2007 issue of WWE Magazine, that has a certain returning superstar on the cover, has confirmed that it will be held at Madison Square Garden. If you have/will get the issue, it is on page 37. Patriot174 03:41, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Royal Rumble will be at MSG, tickets will go on sale December, 29th 2007 to the general public. And I can tell you from a first hand account that WWE Superstars were recently filmed in LA for the Royal Rumble Ad, fighting on a WWE/NYC subway car bound for Madison Square Garden. Cheers —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.2.34.60 (talk) 21:01, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

"Subject to change"

That is ridiculous to have. First of all, ALL wrestling events are subject to change and they usually say this. Second, they have to list that in the source because the source is a contest page and legally have to be "subject to change" so that they can't get sued by anyone if they choose to move the event to a different location. TJ Spyke 03:01, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Poster

I took the liberty to add the poster, however, it doesn't seem to work. Could someone fix this? Thanks in advance. User:vinyldestination 11/27/07 1:22 AM GMT

Is it real? I have a hard time believing they'd put The Miz in the foreground... -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 00:24, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Your image has no source tag or copyright tag, so it can't go in. I put the messages on the image page, and they give you instructions on what to do. TJ Spyke 00:56, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Since Batista is in the poster does that mean he is going to loose the World Title at Armageddon ?? And Jeff is in it as well so is he going to loose to Triple H ?WeLsHy (talk) 00:13, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

This isn't the page for speculation. TJ Spyke 00:16, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Here's an example of the poster not meaning much, Hardy beat Triple H tonight and will have a WWE Title match (likely against Orton since Orton had the title with him while taping the Tribute to the Troops special that airs next week). TJ Spyke 03:03, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

reliable source

I do not think the WWE.com should be consider a reliable source mean just look at the site their always changing their own history mean the only time the WWE site is a reliable source is when a wrestler dies or gets fire other then that we can not trust anything wwe says [[User talk:supermike|supermike}} —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.111.122.70 (talk) 14:43, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

When has WWE been reliable source Never beside for a wrestler death or getting fire Supermike —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.111.111.156 (talk) 03:09, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Match results, PPV theme songs, tattoos of wrestlers, etc. Yes wwe.com does have kayfabe stuff, but they are generally reliable. TJ Spyke 03:14, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay, so if wwe.com is not a valid source then what is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.172.42.48 (talk) 07:23, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. While WWE soemtimes changes things, how can you say they are not generally reliable? TJ Spyke 03:07, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Matches

I don't think people should add in the WWE Championhip match for several reasons. For instance, say Y2J wins and HHH wins. There is so much time between Armageddon an the RR and a lot could happen, title change, injury. I think we should wait until after Armageddon, or until it appears on WWE.com etc etc as always. Also, the RR match shouldnt be added. I know they will have one, that's obvious, but it still hasn't been announced. Mark handscombe (talk) 16:59, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Agreed about the RR match, disagree about the WWE Title match. While the RR match hasn't been announced, it has been announced that the winner of the Triple H/Hardy match at Armageddon will get a match for the WWE Championship at the RR. Yes the match could change, but matches can change at any time (even the day of the event). All we can do is present the match as it currently is scheduled. TJ Spyke 00:01, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that sounds fine to me actually. But, I don't think it should say "the winner of the Jericho/Orton match will face"...I think it should just be "the WWE Champion will face", Just because theres a title match at Armageddon doesn't mean there can't be another title change, like No Mercy 2007 Mark handscombe (talk) 07:43, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I second the "WWE Champion will defend their title against the winner of the Triple H vs Jeff Hardy match", because there could be (won't, but could be) a completely different champion by then and also it's more succinct and easier to read, yet still factually accurate.Tony2Times (talk) 22:27, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

So after the PPV lets say for example that HHH beats Hardy and Orton beats Jericho, are you going to put HHH vs Randy Orton for the WWE Championship or wait until WWE officially announces it? Well either way they usually, not always, have big title matches at PPVs. So chances are that its going to be the winners at this ppv. But there is still the chance of injury are the guy could somehow lose his first contendorship.Stillboy2191 22:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, after Armageddon it will be changed to whoever the WWE champion is vs. whoever wins between Hardy and Orton. Matches can change, but they can change at any time (even the day of the PPV), and if the match somehow changes before the RR we can just update it. TJ Spyke 04:47, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

unification

Royal Rumble match is a unification for the ic and WWE Championships due to jsff hardy is the ic champ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.1.251.16 (talk) 02:38, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Source? Gavyn Sykes (talk) 02:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

1)The Intercontinental Title is not on the line and 2)Even if both were on the line that doesn't mean it would be a unification match (unification in wrestling means two titles are combined into 1, whereas in boxing it just means someone has 2 or more seperate titles at the same time). TJ Spyke 02:46, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Where did you get the idea for that match from ? For 1 I doubt they will get rid of the IC title and even if it was for both titles they would have announced it already. WeLsHy (talk) 07:54, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Maybe he got it from the fact that when 2 champions face of, it is sometimes a unifaction. (e.g. WWE Champion Triple H vs. Intercontinetal Champion Kane). Anyways, Hardy may lose the title before the Rumble, so it probably won't be a unifaction. MattC13 (talk) 22:05, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

World Heavyweight Championship Match

I have included the WHC match. It was announced on SmackDown tonight by Michael Cole just before a commerical break. The winner of next week's "Beat The Clock" will face Edge.Please do not remove it. Stormin' Foreman (talk) 01:51, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

The Beat the Clock Competition will start next friday, but it'll go on for a few weeks. Just like it was at the Royal Rumble last year. I added the information about the Beat the Clock, so don't remove it. J@ro_Link 16:42, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Nowhere did they say it would go on over a few weeks. In fact, both Cole (on SmackDown) and the preview for next week say that the BTC competition will take place next week (implying it's 1 night only). TJ Spyke 21:49, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Well Wikipedia should take this off becuase there is no actaul text on wwe.com saying that Mysterio is the new #1 contender. I know who the number 1 contender is but i would of not given it away. It spoils it to the people who do not go on Spoilers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrispowellathome (talk • contribs) 17:34, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

True that there is nothing saying who the #1 contender is (I know who it is because I read the spoiler reports), but it is confirmed that Edge will defend the title (announced on SmackDown last week, as well as wwe.com's preview of this weeks SmackDown). TJ Spyke 19:08, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

qualifying matches

With these qualifying matches, are we really going to list each week who has qualified, and against who. If so, I think we should make a table of it. But, i doubt all 30 participants will be set up by q matches. LessThanClippers (talk) 23:12, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Eventually we will do something like Royal Rumble (2004), and list them in a seperate section. TJ Spyke 23:40, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

It is highly unlikely that WWE will put all 30 entrants through royal rumble qualifier matches. Probably only about 10 superstars will undergo qualifier matches. Just announce them, we can delete it when the event occurs. GuffasBorgz7 (talk) 15:12, 3 January 2008 (EDST)

probably all the major superstars (batista, undertaker, shawn michaels etc.) will be in qualifying matches but then superstars like super crazy and great khali will just be put in the rumble —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaque jakester jake (talk • contribs) 05:45, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Looks like it happened the other way around... [1]--Andresg770 (talk) 03:09, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Australia before America

I live in Sydney, Australia and we get SmackDown before USA does. Am I allowed to post matches that are announced on television, but aren't yet on WWE.com because it hasn't yet aired in the States? GuffasBorgz7 (talk) 15:16, 3 January 2008 (EDST)

Not without a reliable source. TJ Spyke 04:18, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I've remembered certain editors adding things as soon as the US show added them. Look, a TV show is a TV show no matter where it airs. If you insist on this policy, then nothing can be added until it's in written form from a reliable source. Mshake3 (talk) 04:27, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Sigh...-- bulletproof ^3:16 04:33, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I mean, if an official broadcast in a foreign country isn't a reliable source, then why should an official broadcast here be any different? Mshake3 (talk) 05:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I think the original reason we agreed on was because WWE itself updates its site based on the US airing (i.e. they don't update matches/storylines/etc. until it airs on US TV, other than exceptions like when Kurt Angle and Edge won the WHC on SmackDown). Since WWE is a US based company and updates its website based on US the US airings, that was the original agreed reason. TJ Spyke 05:34, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

That's all fine and dandy, but you're still jumping the gun. If you're going to post it three minutes early since it's in the US, why does it matter if it's posted a day earlier from another broadcast? Mshake3 (talk) 16:24, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Mshake3, that's why I asked. I used to do it all the time because I would get Smackdown earlier, and 5 minutes later someone would have deleted it. I always used to put in a comment saying to not delete it because I am in Australia and it has been broadcast here first etc, but it still gets deleted by someone. GuffasBorgz7 (talk) 08:36, 4 January 2008 (EDST)

Is there any kind of spoiler policy for PW? I know there is with movies. I mean, I know wrestling is fake, but I enjoy being a "smart mark" —Preceding unsigned comment added by LessThanClippers (talk • contribs) 00:06, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I also think it's stupid that Australians can't add stuff because we saw it first. When people add stuff about Raw and ECW it spoils for the Aussies. So why don't you just wait untill the weekend to add everything so then everyone has seen it and doesn't dispute it. WeLsHy (talk) 02:08, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Why do you need to add it? to get the "honor" of adding something important? and a simple answer to your question - because the majority of the people watch it in america. so since i dont think that you just want to say "i am the one who added that!", you can just wait. or you can try to convince the wwe to launch an australian version of their website (wwe.au or so), where they post everything in australian time. then you can add everything you want with a reliable source. Diivoo (talk) 22:04, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

As far as policy goes, it was recently determined that anything can be posted if it's backed up with a reliable source. "It's a spoiler" doesn't fly anymore. Mshake3 (talk) 03:27, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Are spoiler warnings still allowed? I think that would solve some of this.LessThanClippers (talk) 07:21, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

That's what the tag at the top of the page is supposed to do. From my experiences though, many people will add what they want to articles regardless of what any tags or warnings exist on the page. TJ Spyke 08:07, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

We update the article based on when WWE updates their site, which happens to be in accordance with the United States airings. This consensus has long been reached. Sorry Aussies. (Sawyer (talk) 05:42, 5 January 2008 (UTC))

Okay to make fair post any spoilers at the end of the week so their wont this bitching going on so US users post on saturday and Aussies post it on Sunday because of the time difference.KTsuka (talk) 16:54, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Beat The Clock Challenge

Is there a Wikipedia page that explains what "Beat The Clock Challenge" is? We are definitely going to have to put that into the Background for Royal Rumble, but if someone has no idea what it is? Is there a page that we can link "Beat the Clock Challenge" to and have it explain what it is? GuffasBorgz7 (talk) 13:23, 4 January 2008 (EDST)

SmackDown

Hi Wikipedia! I'm from Scotland, so I get SmackDown over here before you in the United States. Rey Mysterio won the Beat the Clock Challenge and JBL will face Chris Jericho at the Royal Rumble, so please don't remove it from the page. Thanks! Rfcucl1972 (talk) 00:57, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

We are all aware of this, however, it must be sourced, for it to remain. LessThanClippers (talk) 00:59, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

If you will read the section above: Australia before America, you will see I made the same argument. The policy is that unless it is sourced, do not add it! GuffasBorgz7 (talk) 02:27, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Jericho/JBL

Has this match actually been announced yet? I am removing it since i don't recall ever seeing a mention of it and it's not sourced. Feel free to readd it if there's a reliable source. NiciVampireHeart (talk) 04:18, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

There is no WWE.com source as of yet. To post that match, a WWE.com source is necessary! GuffasBorgz7 (talk) 04:19, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

It was announced on the 1/4/07 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, but as of yet I don't see it on the website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KevinOfEd (talk • contribs) 04:49, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

A WWE.com source is required. GuffasBorgz7 (talk) 04:56, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

No, a reliable source is required. WWE.com is not the only reliable source on wrestling, although it is one of few. (Sawyer (talk) 05:44, 5 January 2008 (UTC))

WWE.com is known to be the only accepted reliable source for use in Wikipedia. GuffasBorgz7 (talk) 07:02, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

It was announced on Smackdown though, what's the problem?Markcookney (talk) 00:21, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I reckon, pretty much everyone who watches Smackdown would of saw it. Why don't you just let people add it without throwing a spaz about a source. WeLsHy (talk) 11:26, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

House Show Royal Rumble Qualifying Matches

WWE are having Royal Rumble Qualifying Matches at House Shows. Last night, 01/04/2008, at a Raw House Show in White Plains, NY, at the White Plains County, Snitsky qualify for the Royal Rumble. [2] 70.255.188.172 (talk) 09:19, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately that is not sourced anywhere on WWE.com so we cannot add it. GuffasBorgz7 (talk) 09:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

sure we can, it happened. wwe.com will not list that at any point. maybe we can add it with a note, that it happend at a houseshow? 80.108.74.217 (talk) 15:02, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

It needs some sort of reliable source, whether it's WWE.com or not. If it's not WWE.com, it still needs a note saying "this site reported this." But even that's stretching it. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 16:12, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Well I agree that it is not likely that it is something WWE.com will announce so a note may have to suffice. Here is one source http://rajah.com/base/node/10530 They source PWInsider, if that is deemed "more reliable." Dahumorist (talk) 16:50, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

If WWE announces that Snitsky is in the Rumble (and yes they DO report this kind of stuff if it happens at house shows), then it can be added. Some editor keeps adding it back in though, and I can't risk removing it again. TJ Spyke 23:43, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

WWE rarely report anything from House Shows. Most of the time if there is a title change, but they miss it sometimes. I don't know whether they will report it this time. If not, I think at least a note here would do, even if it mean one short sentence. I believe we as an encyclopedia should inform the people of there are qualifications at House Shows even if WWE does not, because it's important information that people will look by at how people qualify for the Match. As long we are not spoiling any storylines that has not yet happen on TV wise, we can inform the people, because the event came and went. Oh, and at tonight, 01/05/2008, Raw house show, Poughkeepsie, NY, Hardcore Holly qualified. 70.255.188.172 (talk) 05:39, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Pretty sure these matches are on Heat. So it kind of is on wwe.com considering you can watch it on the website. WeLsHy (talk) 11:29, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Jimmy Wang Yang and Shannon Moore qualified last night at a house show.209.209.140.21 (talk) 23:41, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I added them and Holly along with sources to the house show results. DX927 (talk) 23:54, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

WWE.com has this site up with all the people who have qualified to the Rumble, listing Umaga, Holly, Snitsky, Miz, and Morrison only. Feel free to make any changes to the article based on it.--Andresg770 (talk) 23:31, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

I thought it was odd that they would have Yang/Moore vs. Morrison/Miz in a qualifying match, and then have the exact same match again the next night. I'm guessing that the first night was not a RR qualifying match and whoever sent in the report was wrong. I would support removing Yang and Moore. TJ Spyke 23:34, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

It wouldn't be the first time they've done that. They had Kane beat Snitsky for a spot several years back and then had Snitsky beat Kane a few days later. I think they just forgot to put Yang and Moore up for whatever reason DX927 (talk) 04:06, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Maybe, as of right now though wwe.com doesn't include Yang and Moore in the RR match (only Umaga, Snitsky, Holly, Morrison, Miz, Hornswoggle, and Foley). TJ Spyke 04:56, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

And now Batista and The Undertaker are in via magic I guess lol. But yeah, they're up on that site now. DX927 (talk) 02:30, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

A little warning, please state your source when adding wrestlers (at least in the edit summary). I had reverted your edit between the time you added them and when you posted here. We need to be on the lookout on Friday, wwe.com says the RAW house show will have Carlito and Santino Marella vs. Drew McIntyre and D.H. Smith in a qualifying match (although oddly they have removed the picture of McIntyre and Smith and now just say that Carlito and Marella will be in a tag team qualifying match, without mentioning opponents). TJ Spyke 02:36, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I didn't state the source because anyone who checked the source that is listed could plainly see that they were added. DX927 (talk) 02:47, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

You should have stated that exact source (like I did in the edit summary), especially with Batista and The Undertaker since major names like that wouldn't qualify at house shows. It's no big deal, and i'm not "scolding" you (in reference to a comment you left on my talk page), I am just trying to help you out so you don't make the same mistake in the future. TJ Spyke 02:53, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

It's never been an issue anywhere else before. DX927 (talk) 02:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Wrestling articles are persecuted more than other articles, so we (i.e. WP:PW) have to be more strict in making sure articles follow guidelines and policies. I don't watch every wrestling related article (there are more than 3,000), but I do my best with the 300+ that I do watch. Like I said, just remember to state in the edit summary where you get the info from. TJ Spyke 02:58, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

United States Championship

why isnt the United States Championship on the line for Ric Flair vs. Montel Vontavious Porter macth? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.99.22.99 (talk) 17:55, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

You would have to ask WWE. Just because a wrestler has a title doesn't mean it has to be on the line when they wrestle. TJ Spyke 01:34, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

The title can't be on the line because they can't make Ric Flair U.S. champion if he's involved in another story concerning his career and they won't want MVP to lose his title because they have other plans in mind invovling the U.S. title. Wwenormalfan (talk) 22:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
