In about 8 minutes, WWE's One Night Stand 2008 starts.  For those that don't follow pro wrestling, One Night Stand started out as an ECW tribute show, and the following year was used to launch the ECW show on Sci-fi.  Last year was the first year it was a tri-brand show, and the selling point, much like TNA's Lockdown featuring every match inside steel cages (called the Six Sides Of Steel in TNA), One Night Stand has the gimmick of every match being "extreme."  that means anything from Falls Count Anywhere to Last Man Standing to TLC.

The stupid thing about this year's edition is the Smackdown main event.  it reuses a storyline from Unforgiven 2006.  In that match it was John Cena VS Edge for the WWE championship.  At the time Edge was claiming that he had never lost a TLC match. (which isn't true since he and Christian lost TLC 4, but that one is forgotten a lot)  If Cena lost, he would be fired from Raw and had already signed a contract with Smackdown in the event he lost.  Cena of course won the match, but he looked like he was out of place.  Edge had to carry him through the match.  If it weren't for the scripted nature of pro wrestling, Edge would have won.

This time it is a little different.  no bragging about never losing a TLC match but still building up that it is Edge's specialty.  The title is on the line and since it has been vacant for almost 2 months, there will be a new champion.  Also if Take loses, it will end his career.

 

Obviously Undertaker will win, although I wouldn't be surprised to see Vickie Guerrero do something to keep the belt from Taker, but in the end, Edge will lose.
