Did you know that if you do a google image search for "cody rhodes ted dibiase" in hopes of finding a shot of them standing side by side to
illustrate your point you end up getting photoshopped Legacy gay porn? I wish I was kidding.
I think Dibiase has broader shoulders and a generally more muscular build. He just looks stronger and stockier, where Rhodes is a more cut guy who
gets a little scrawny in some places. I don't think Dibiase is really much bigger but he probably just works a different gym routine that gives
him a different sort of build. Being relatively the same height and weight doesn't mean you have the same physique. You can build different
muscles, have different percentages of body fat, etc. And whatever it is that Dibiase and Rhodes do I think the result is Dibiase looks a little
bigger and Rhodes tends to look a little scrawny.
But its not so big a difference that it sets them apart for me. And I'm a guy who doesn't care that Samoa Joe is fat, that AJ Styles is
undersized, or whatever so I'm no more likely to prefer Dibiase for looking "bigger" than I am to pencil in Chris Masters for a main event
push solely because of an impressive physique.

they could go to set up Taker/Michaels II. While watching last night, I came up with a little fantasy booking for what they could do: First, have Edge
announce he is going to challenge the Undertaker at WrestleMania (which of course further infuriates Micheals). Then have Michaels somehow work his
way into the Smackdown EC match. At the PPV have it come down to Michaels, Jericho, and Taker. Michaels surprisingly teams up with Jericho to
eliminate Taker, leaving them as the last two wrestlers. Instead of fighting Jericho, Michaels walks out on the match, getting himself counted out and
thus awarding Jericho the world title. Now you have Jericho as champion, and Edge forced to wrestle him instead of Taker by default, and Michaels
showing that he's so obsessed with wrestling the Undertaker that he passed up a chance to win the world title in order to try and make the match
happen.
I was thinking the same thing except, you know, it really doesn't require Edge to announce his plan beforehand. If anything, waiting until
afterward lets him decide to go for the World title because Jericho has it.
...and those be the real bottom lines, 'cause Santino Marella say it be so!

Best video EVAR!
Orton makes both Rhodes and Dibiase look small. Dude has some impressively large quads.

just said it once and forgotten about it, instead of repeating it all night.

Sorry if this has been corrected before - Cole and Lawler get a lot of much deserved flack, but in this case, they were exactly right. Edge is already
1/2 of the headline match. The only way they can HEADLINE Wrestlemania is win the title, and hope that Edge picks their title as his match.
The other title match (lets just be crazy and assume it might be HHH/HBK), will probably be a mid card match, at least an hour away from the final
two-three matches (assuming HBK/Taker, Edge / ?, and Vince/Bret go on after that).
Remember HHH/Booker T? Was THAT a headline match? Even a 'main event' attraction?
I enjoyed the show. Not sure why Batista was there, IN WRESTLING GEAR, but I assume it's because McMahon had a plan all along, which I'm
fine with - it fits Bat's character perfectly to play ball with the guy who has all the power when it comes to giving him what he wants: title
shots.
Punk/Gallows winning the tag title titles and hopping will be awesome. I'm guessing it won't happen until after EC or maybe WM, and the
tag titles will be forgotten for a while (then not long after WM, assuming he stays face, Gallows/Punk vs Edge/Christian would be awesome).
If both members of DX get what they want eventually, will they just carry on as best buddies, or will this be the start of HHH returning to his
'Game' heel side?

You only have to go back to WM23 to prove this wrong. Taker won the Rumble that year and his title match was not the headline match (that was
Cena/HBK).
By the way, in going to Wikipedia to doublecheck, I found this gem that ensures I will never read anything by Wade Keller. In reference to the
HHH/Orton match at WM 25:
"it just wasn't able to follow the classic two matches earlier."
HHH/Orton have 2 "classic" matches?

Man, I don't want to seem like I'm trolling you, but you really should've looked a bit harder at that Wikipedia entry. The final
three matches of WMXXV were Taker v. HBK, Cena v. Show v. Edge, and HHH v. Orton; therefore, Keller was clearly referring to Taker v. HBK as a
classic, and that was the one coming "two matches earlier."
