"Barbed Wire? Oh yesss..."

Source:- Wrestlezone

WWE is apparently going forward with their planned stipulations for the main-event of the February scheduled "No Way Out" SmackDown-brand pay-per view. According to local ads in Pittsburgh, PA., WWE is promoting the main-event to be a "first ever barbed wire cage match for the WWE Championship." No wrestlers were specified, although the best bet would be John Bradshaw Layfield versus The Big Show. The show is scheduled for the Mellon Arena.

Now, far be it from me to give any credit to the WWE, but this will be great! The one thing better than seeing two talented workers (Sabu vs Funk anyone?) mutilate their bodies and go through the pain barrier for the sake of the fans. Is seeing two untalented workers who I hate personally and professionally get cut to ribbons! It'll be great :-)

It'd be the only way they make the match not a total disaster. Let the gimmick match commence

I have a feeling I'd critically still hate the match. But the sadist in me would just enjoy knowing that JBL and The Big Slow were going through pain.

I too share that opinion. Hopefully they'll both get injured for a while and they can put the strap back on someone deserving and who can actually wrestle like Eddie

Well, all JBL knows how to do in main event title matches is bleed, so this will be right up his street.

I'm going to remain skeptical and say that they will find a way of dumbing it down by having blunt barbed wire or something.

I heard this a month ago too... :)

Ah well, I haven't been able to check the news sights for a while. I expect they will gimmick the barbed wire the same way WCW used. There the ends of the barbed wire were dipped into liquid black rubber, which would then cool and make the barbed wire safe. This wasn't visible on TV, because in the long shots it was simpky too small to see and they were very sparing and tactical with their close ups.

reminds me of flaming 2×4s wrapped in barbed wire, and thumb tacks etc

JBL vs The Big Show?
man, i hope i can keep up with that match, i see it being quite frantic.

.. hoho.

Ah well a fresh idea I guess. I want to see Big Show bleed!
