One briefcase, and the chance of a lifetime.
I’ve been a fan of the Money In The Bank match ever since its debut at WrestleMania 21. It was a WrestleMania tradition that I truly got into, and knowing that at anytime the holder of the briefcase could cash-in and cause a shocker made things very interesting. Of course, WWE had to go and take MITB out of WrestleMania and turn it into a PPV by itself. And now there are two briefcases, two main-events, and a total of 16 superstars competing for a championship opportunity. It sounds exciting, but it ruins the specialty of having just ONE MITB match, and ONE winner with an anything-goes opportunity in hand. What’s the point of having two people running around with two different briefcases? It only spoils the chances of having more surprises. Anyway, here’s the wallpaper for this Sunday’s Money In The Bank conceptual pay-per-view. The matches seem pretty interesting, and I’m almost sure the Nexus will be eagerly anticipating an opening to cause some chaos, but all in all, I still wish they left MITB as a WrestleMania-exclusive match.

Odds Favor The Challengers.
I know this is literally the 11th hour and we’re merely a day away from WWE’s newest conceptual PPV, Fatal 4 Way, but believe me when I say there were some major issues to deal with that prevented me from making this update. But thankfully, here it is, and the ‘chain‘ has yet to be broken! I only added the two big main events to make this wallpaper unique. Personally, I’m not too interested in the matches themselves. Odds are John Cena will retain the WWE Championship while Swagger will probably drop it off. Or maybe it’ll be the other way around. I smell a shocker around the corner, though, especially with Kane lurking in the dark, waiting to ambush any ‘suspects’ linked to The Undertaker’s current condition. And on Raw’s side, there’s the (very interesting) NXT invasion which will undoubtedly play a major role during the event. The PPV itself doesn’t look too interesting, but I’m sure with Kane’s vengeance-streak and the NXT-ers on a rampage, backstage events will get very, very heated up. Get to downloadin’, all!

Spear! Spear! Spear!
It’s all the rave on SmackDown! these days. Edge enters a match, picks up momentum, positions his opponent, pumps the crowd up with anticipation, and then in a swift and sudden blow; The Spear! I was pretty surprised to see cheer for the move pick up so fast, seeing as it has been around for ages and Edge has been doing it for a very long time now. But that’s how good Edge is as a superstar.He gets the crowd to boo him out of buildings when he’s a heel (and boy was he a fantastic heel), but he can also get the crowd into a frenzy when he’s a babyface. In this case, nowadays everyone wants to see Edge deliver a devastating “Spear! Spear! Spear!” Anyway, here’s a brand new wallpaper featuring the Rated [R] Superstar, Edge, and what seems to be his current state of mind; obsession with his favorite finisher. I’ve said before that I’ve always liked heel Edge better, but I’ll give the guy credit for being a successful babyface as well. I’m hoping now that he’s a face that he’ll have a short / long reunion stint with either Christian or (also) newly-turned face, Randy Orton. Download and enjoy, folks!

Destruction In The Desert!
It’s the biggest card in WrestleMania history and it’s less than a week away! Champions will rise, legends will be made, and immortals will fall from their godly pedestals on this day when war is waged in the simmering hot desert of Phoenix, Arizona. Will Bret “The Hitman” Hart finally have his revenge on Vince McMahon for what happened 13 years ago at Montreal? Will Edge be able to keep his momentum going and take the championship off Chris Jericho? Will John Cena finally defeat Batista, will Sheamus prove to Triple H that he means business, and will Rey Mysterio be forced into the StraightEdge Society? All these burning questions will bear their answers this Sunday but the one match that questions the very foundation of pro-wrestling today is none other than the rematch between Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker. No matter who wins this match, the end of an era is coming. Will HBK be forced to hang up his boots…or will the Deadman’s unprecedented 17-0 streak come to a screeching halt? The epic event is less than a week away so get to downloadin’! You might notice that the Unified Tag Team Championship match isn’t there and I wish I could slot it in, but there’s only so much room on a canvas. Enjoy, all!

“I Am The Best In The World At What I Do” ~ Chris Jericho
And there you have it, folks. Once again and just as predicted, Chris Jericho is the new World Heavyweight Champion and the stage is set for (the babyface) Edge to face him at WrestleMania 26. Of course Edge claims he’ll decide tonight on Raw but seriously, we saw this coming half a year ago! There’s no doubt in the fact that Chris Jericho has been having the most successful time of his life ever since he decided that he was done “entertaining” the fans (or hypocritical glutenous tapeworms, in his own words) and coming up with witty catchphrases. Instead he felt donning expensive suits and using vocabulary so bombastic that it could fry the brains of a Harvard graduate and put Matt Striker to shame was more his thing. And of course, he has managed to bag a bunch of championships along the way, becoming arguably the  most prominent superstar on Raw AND SmackDown!. Ironically, Chris Jericho is still one of the most entertaining superstars in WWE today despite him trying to be the exact opposite! It’s been a while since a Chris Jericho wallpaper was up, so here it is, and just in the nick of time too! A wallpaper featuring the first new World Heavyweight Champion of 2010; Chris Jericho!

PS : At WrestleMania, I’m rooting for Chris Jericho. Being brutally honest, I liked the Rated [R] Superstar when he was sneaky, cunning,  and controversial to the core.  This “new” Edge who comes out and speaks on the behalf of the WWE Universe and starts playing SmackDown!’s “average noble citizen” ….not so much. Rated [PG] Superstar, anybody?

Here’s the poster for WWE Elimination Chamber, previously known for the last decade or so as WWE No Way Out. I guess since the highlights of the night are the Raw / SmackDown! Elimination Chamber matches, WWE decided to just call it that for marketing purposes and to refresh their PPV name list. I’m not digging the poster, though. Looks like something on a Mortal Kombat or some vampire-ish videogame cover (Batista’s eye being weird and all, doesn’t really look like a Chamber he’s looking at.). But I guess this is the poster that’ll stick. Hey, at least it’s Batista. For some reason last year WWE thought it was appropriate to have Vladimir “no-charisma” Kozlov on the final PPV poster before WrestleMania 25! Way to go, geniuses. Compared to that, this one looks pretty decent.

Thanks to muafaddal, irfan, ali, austin, and mr.jumbo for the heads-up!
