SummerSlam Prediction




Hello all

So tonight is SummerSlam. And as you all know, it is prediction time. So here we go.

United States Championship Match, Santino Marella vs. Antonio Cesaro: Yes, exactly, I have no idea who these people are also. I will try to give this match some of the respect it deserves; I mean it is for the US title. Since this Antonio Cesaro has beaten Santino a few times, and Santino has been the champion for a while now, I think Cesaro will win the title (much to the chagrin of my wife).

WWE Tag Team Championship Match, Kofi Kingston & R-Truth vs. The Prime Time Players: This has been a pretty entertaining rivalry lately. Prime Time has been getting the best of Kofi and R-Truth, and it looks like the Players are going to win the titles. Not so fast my friends…….naw just kidding, the players will win the belts. They are actually a good team, and they will have a pretty good run with the titles.

Intercontinental Championship Match, The Miz vs. Rey Mysterio: The Miz just won the belt at RAW 1000. He has been gone for a long time doing a movie, and I think this will be his time to be a major player on RAW. With that said, I don’t see him losing the belt tonight. I know Rey just came back from a long layoff (injury) also, but I still think Miz will retain the title.

Kane vs. Daniel Bryan:Chris Jericho vs. Dolph Ziggler: I don’t know about you guys, but this match is one that I am really looking forward to. You guys know I think Dolph is the future of WWE. I think he can do almost everything (he is not great on the mic, but that is what Vickie is there for). And I loved the Chris Jericho who was dressed in suits, and came out and insulted the fans. I have never been much of a fan of Y2J. That being said I think this match is going to steal the show. I think Dolph will take this match.

World Heavyweight Championship, Sheamus vs. Alberto Del Rio: I feel like this was a fall back match. I don’t know what they were doing with suspending the match, saying Sheamus would not wrestle, then him coming out, and now he is wrestling. I don’t get any of this, but hey maybe there is a reason for it. So my prediction for this match is that Sheamus will get beat up throughout most of it, but will work his way back, and he will retain the title.

WWE Championship, CM Punk vs. John Cena vs. The Big Show: I really want to see this match. There has been great build up to this match. Punk beat up the Rock at RAW 1000, and on the next episode, he told everyone exactly why he did it; because the WWE champion should be in the spotlight on RAW. I could not agree more with him on that. So now he is a heel and he is making sure that the WWE Championship is getting its spotlight. With that said, on to the match. As much as I would love to see a brand new WWE Champion, I don’t see either of these guys beating Punk. I guess if it were going to be one of the challengers, I think it would be the Big Show. I can’t see why Cena would win tonight, and not at RAW 1000. So I think Punk wins tonight.

Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar: This match has gotten very personal. I am sure Brock has been gone so long to get back into the mentality of wrestling, and Triple H has gotten back into shape. This is going to be a phenomenal match. There is one part of me that thinks that Triple H has to win this match because Brock is the bully, and bullies have to be put in their place. But there is another part of me that thinks Brock may be in beast mode, and he may destroy Triple H. So what am I going to go with as my prediction? I am going to say Triple H will pull off the victory, but he will get beat up real bad.

Okay people, there are my predictions. What do you think? Leave a message on here and let me know what you think, and/or what your predictions are. Thanks for reading.
Oh wait wait wait……..one more thing. I bet that after the hard fought World title match, I am 90% certain Dolph Ziggler will cash in his “Money in the Bank” contract, and win the title.


AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So after a whole year, I like the rest of you, agree with Punk.

Hello all

So I was watching wrestling this week. I must say I have enjoyed watching wrestling for the past few weeks, at least in the WWE. I know you think I am a sellout, but they are offering the best value as of now. When Ring of Honor comes to TV, or when TNA actually gets better then I will keep my eyes open for them, but until that time, I will continue to talk about WWE. Any who, I saw something this past week that I thought I would never see. I saw something that made me agree with CM Punk. As you all well know, I am nowhere near a fan of this “outspoken” CM Punk, who everyone else fell in love with, but he said something that made so much sense, and is what I have been saying for a long time.

At the end of RAW’s 1000th episode Punk hit the Rock with a clothesline, his finishing move, and the “Go to Sleep”. On this Monday’s episode, he explained that RAW 1000 ended the way every episode of RAW should end, with the spotlight on the WWE Champion. And I totally agree.

Back in its heyday, the late 90’s and early 2000’s, every episode of RAW revolved around the Championship. I remember when I started watching RAW on a weekly basis that was always the case. It was normal at the beginning for the champion to come out, and basically set the show up.

The champ would come out, and if he was a face, he would tell his next opponent that he was ready to fight him and defend his title at any time. It was up to his opponent to try to get the champ to lose the title somehow. If the champ is a heel, maybe the #1 contender would come to the ring and call out the champ. Then the heel would either come up with excuses on why he can’t fight the face contender, or if he is a big bad heel champ, like Brock Lesnar or Mark Henry, he would dominate some smaller guys until he was matched up against someone his same size, or someone not afraid of him.

But the entire time, it was all about the title. This gave the title so much more meaning. Even after the brand extension, where they made 2 different world champs, on either show they made the title the most important thing on the show by making them the headliners of the night. Kind of like a concert, they put the main guy on last. That is the same way they used to do the titles. For some reason they have moved way from doing that, sometimes even making the champ come on as the opening match of the night. So having Punk come out and restore the prestige to the WWE title, is something I have hoped for for a very long time.

I know that a lot of you all have been in love with Punk for over a year, since he had his pipe bomb where he “spoke his mind” about everything in WWE from the word wrestler to the chairman of the board himself. Me, I have not been one of those. I remember when he was a mid-card guy. I remember when he was the world champ, and no one cared. So it was shocking to me that the same boring wrestler, who none of you cared about, all of a sudden became the new darling. But now I think we are all on the same page. As long as Punk is the WWE Champion, I have no problem with him being the main attraction.
