Matches announced so far are:
Cena vs Angle for the RAW title (again!)
Batista vs Guerrero for the Smackdown title (again!)
Orton vs Taker in a Buried Alive Match (again but at least in a different format!)
Classic Match:
Team SD: JBL,Rey Mysterio, Mr Kennedy, Chris Benoit, Christian vs Team Raw: HBK, Big Show, Carlito, Chris Masters, Shelton Benjamin
Rowdy Roddy Piper vs. Cowboy Bob Orton
At least they've got a classic match, that's the one I'm looking forward to but if it was left to me all the matches would be in this format, after all it only comes round once a year!

I remember in about 1995 they had 2 teams thrown together who hated their partners and Sid jacknifed Michaels halfway through the match even though they were on the same team.
This was probably a one off though and the match next month will be crap.

Yea at the moment they mostly just chuck them into the spotlight and drive them down the fan's throats thinking that if they're on all the time we'll care about them when in fact it has the opposite effect. People like Foley and Rock spent a while down the card building their characters up before being put in main events and such like and the fans took to them, course it helped they were actually talented and their charisma extended to something further than just stretching their arms out in a Raven esque fashion expecting that to draw heat.
they really need to build characters more. too many firings mean that the new guys have to go through practically no-one to get a titel/PPV apearance.
i think Mr Kennedy is pretty good, but i don't care that he's in that match. especially not that one. how is a month on smackdown considered a "classic"
same with carlito and masters. masters just squashed people for the first few months as he brushed up on his skills (apparantly) and didn't have a feud until HBK. guys should be pushed through the mid card for longer instead of getting it all so fast. pushing new guys straight into main event feuds works one time on a million (lesnar. because he was GOOD)
there's no sense that they're earned their way to the top, which is why rush champs like randy orton got such a tepid reaction to their wins/turns.

Guess they'll be going with the whole *MY GAWD KING HOW CAN THESE TEAMS COEXIST?!?!* angle which no doubt shall be drilled into us throughout the whole match with a Big Show, frying pan analogy chucked in for good measure

One for the continuity to squad to look at there. JBL & Mysterio on the same team? HBK and Masters on the same team??? BENOIT AND CHRISTIAN ON THE SAME TEAM???
It'll be rubbish.

I thought Foley and Piper were going to interfere in the No Mercy match of the Ortons Vs Taker. If i was Foley and Piper i wouldnt take an RKO lightly!
