WWE Over The Limit PPV - Pre Show Thread *Spoilers*

JP Liz V1

It was revealed at the WWE SmackDown tapings tonight that Jack Swagger will be defending his World Heavyweight Championship against

The Big Show

at the upcoming WWE Over The Limit pay-per view event

grames_bond

"over the limit" is a bit too close to "over the edge" for my liking....especially coz its on Owens Anniversary!

but thats besides the point...Jack Swagger vs

Big Show

?!?!?! surely not, that will have to be changed before the ppv!

SlickRic

that has to be changed.

a horrible prospect for a main event.

Angron

Is there a specific theme for this PPV yet? I'm just assuming it'll be another gimmick PPV.

And the Raw Main Event is Cena v

Batista

, though I guess that's just common knowledge at this stage

Dancor

They really need to make the SD main event a three way match. Swagger + Big slow = BORING!

Or just get rid of BS from the main event.

JP Liz V1

Well Taker is off, I'm guessing the Punk and Rey feud isnt finished yet so maybe add Christian and/or MVP to the mix

id usually agree with that but the next PPV is a fatal four way and Christian is on the poster so id imagine a Show/Swagger (it does say spoilers in the title) main event wouldent be too bad tbh, I mean if people are worried about Swagger being booked to look weak then him (hopefully) goiing over the Big Show can only help imo.

gotta imagine that given the title there will be some sort of gimmick matches maybe like an I quit one or something where people have to literally be pushed over their limit and made submit (Breaking point isnt on this year is it?). If the rumours about Batista are true id imagine that this would be where he would be taken out storyline wise also so could see his match perhaps being that match where he is forced to give up and is so humbled he walks away or something.

It won't be the match that finishes the show though not a hope. Swagger beating Show cleanly or close to cleanly makes him a bit more legit in my book. Sticking him in random three ways is a complete show of no confidence in him at this stage and shows they're not really serious about pushing him properly as a future star.

It'll be a good way dowm the card, when you think that on RAW they started building forCena/Batista and Orton/Edge. You don't really need another big money match up for what really is a lesser PPV. Add in matches for Punk (Rey maybe) and Jericho (Morrison maybe) a tag match with the Hart defending and something for Seamus to do and thats a more than decent show IMO.

Breaking Point (an unreal name for a PPV imo) is no-more after last year's disastrous PPV buy rate

Swagger getting himself DQ'd, I'm calling it now. There's a 0% chance of a clean finish here and it's even hard to imagine Swagger getting a dirty victory - I just can't see how they can have Swagger keep Big Show down for the 3 count. There's no way he's hitting the Gutwrench Powerbomb on Show, maybe they'll have him mount the ropes for the pin but somehow I just can't see them doing that. The only other way would be to have him hit Show with the title belt and sell the hell out of it (I've always hated that finish myself, just doesn't seem believable, especially not on someone Big Show's size)

Maybe Swagger loses via countout or, worst case scenario, he loses the title

Hey where's your Spoiler tags! Ya surely that Swagger match can't go ahead in it's current form......it'd be too awful!

grames_bond

Just lookin at the poster maybe there will be some sort of time limit element to this ppv (beat the clock or irom man or something like that) just randomly guessing here on account of the clock/stopwatch behind edge!

Yeah, I initially thought there'd be some sort of Beat The Clock matches and the one with the best time could face the champion. It probably would have led to a lot of run-ins, DQs etc so may have been a clusterf*ck, but I thought it would have been quite interesting.

I agree though, there must be some sort of gimmick behind it

That is not a clock, that is a rev. counter going towards red (i.e. Car reference, not clock).

That’s such a money match with the right build which really should be kept for Summerfest, not wasted on a minor PPV.

I think this is just the start of the feud it will last until Summerslam I think this match and Rey V Punk's match are the only two matches I will have interest in

I dunno, I have a fair bit of interest in Cena v Batista given the possible stips they are listing on WWE in one of their polls. Given the title, it'd seem like it'd be Iron Man or something, but First Blood would be a funny one considering the way WWE acts around blood now.

mr.mayo

I'm thinking Orton beats Edge here, then Edge wins the title at Fatal 4 Way, retains it in a triple threat with Cena & Orton at the next ppv, then we get an Orton vs Edge main event for SummerSlam. Ok maybe that's just wishful thinking:)

Makes no sense having Edge lose to Orton then win the title at the next ppv. How would he be a legit no.1 contender with a loss at the last PPV? The crowd would never buy it especially such a loss against Orton.

It was announced on last night's SD that CM Punk vs. Rey Rey has been added to the card. If Punk wins, Rey joins the S.E.S and if Punk loses, Rey shaves Punk bald

Card so far:

- John Cena vs. Batista for the WWE Title (match tbc)
- Jack Swagger vs. Big Show for the World Heavyweight Title
- Randy Orton vs. Edge
- Punk vs. Rey (If Punk wins, Rey joins the S.E.S but if Punk loses, Rey shaves Punk bald)

I'd also expect the Hart Dynasty vs. Miz & Jericho, and maybe Drew McIntyre vs. Christian/Kofi, plus a divas or womens title bout.

That would be a pretty fresh looking line-up for a ppv, and they are lining up a few matches for the Fatal 4-way ppv too, with Sheamus trying to insert himself in the WWE title picture and with 4/5 guys around the IC title on SmackDown too.

Jeepers this PPV is looking exciting.

They'll actually have to do well for the Summerslam card to be better than this tbh.

Arah, half the things in WWE don't make sense anymore, 2 Months ago, Jack Swagger hasn't won a match in months, now he's the World Heavyweight Champion, Sheamus went from being pinned by Goldust on ECW, to being the WWE Champion a few weeks later. Anyway, The main event is going to be a Fatal 4 Way & the odds are that Edge & Orton will both be in it. Now that he's heel again, Edge can go back to being the "Ultimate Opportunist", being beaten at an earlier ppv doesn't make any difference to him, ever since his first title win Edge has looked weak as hell, I find it hard to remember him getting a clean victory on ppv(apart from his recent face run), there was always some twist to it. Between Survivor Series 08 & Backlash 09, he won the title 4 freakin times. The character he plays is just an opportunistic dick who always manages to worm his way to victory

Anyway, the main reason I had Edge winning the title was because I think the Edge vs Orton rivalry deserves it

wasnt this done? once, if not twice already?

JP Liz V1

The Hart Dynasty vs. Jericho and Miz for the Unified Tag Titles

Surely Miz will drop the US title before this ppv *coughs* to Bryan

Rey V Punk did happen before twice with only each one of those stips on the line and now both are on the line I kinda see Punk winning

no, first time Rey put the fact that he would join the SES on the line while Punk didnt have anything on the line and the second Mysterio put nothing on the line while Punk put his hair on the line, this is the PPV rubber match where one of these two things will happen.

My prediction: Punk to reluctantley join the SES and don a Straight edge mask after the PPV

great card

So basically the WWE dragged it out a bit over 3 PPVs? Not saying it in a critical way, just seems like that's what they did.

yes but as you kinda say by not wanting to be critical that aint really a bad thing as we get more quality Punk vs Rey and it is also the reason id expect Punk to lose and join the SES as after nothing happening in both of the last two something that would be bigger than Punk shaving just like his SES cohorts, it would also make the SES look pretty weak if they were ultimatley bested by Lil ol Rey Mysterio on his own before they ever really got a big main event angle. We are in for the Straight Edge Summer people, i keep saying it.

Yeah, I was never the biggest Mysterio fan, but they were some decent matches. I'm inclined to agree with you, a loss would make the SES seem kinda weaker, but it's also worth remembering that the WWE pushes Mysterio as an underdog and "the littlest big man" so making him join.. I have to say, this feud is pretty well done, it really could go either way in my mind.

BH I think you mean its Rey to join SES and don a SES mask

I am enjoying their feud so I dont mind another ppv match for them

Good little ppv so it is. Hope Drew and Kofi have a decent match. Drew could do with getting over a little more, he's getting there though

Good card. I think Rey/Punk will have to pull out all the stops to make their match interesting seeing as this is like there 4th singles match between the pair since Wrestlemania. If its as good as their meeting at Extreme Rules then I cant wait to see it.

sky88

i dont know if im right but is cena/batista having same matches as orton/cena had all their missing now is an iron man match
