  1. WWE No Mercy predictions

    Leave a Comment

    Will NostroJOEmas strike again a la Night of Champions, or will I fail miserably like I did when I predicted The Great American Bash?  We’ll find out, because here are my WWE No Mercy predictions!

    WWE Championship:  Triple H (C) vs. Jeff Hardy

    I thought for sure that Jeff cost himself the WWE Championship when he was removed from a flight for appearing intoxicated a few weeks back, but with reports that Hardy is not facing any diciplinary action, and the fact that he’s been booked to look strong on TV since the incident, I could be wrong.  However, the other thing that the last couple of weeks have said to me is that Vladimir Kozlov is next in line to face Triple H, and as such, I fully expect a no contest tonight with Kozlov standing tall at the end of it.

    World Heavyweight Championship:  Chris Jericho (C) vs. Shawn Michaels in a ladder match

    I just can’t see HBK winning this match, given that there’s going to be a number one contenders match on the card featuring two guys that have heat with Jericho.  By hook or by crook, Jericho wins this one.

    ECW Championship:  Matt Hardy (C) vs. Mark Henry

    With this prediction, I’ll officially be declaring that I don’t expect a world title to change hands tonight.  If Mark Henry was destined to be champion after No Mercy, they would have had him retain in the Championship Scramble at Unforgiven.  Sorry Mark, I’m glad you got a pretty decent title run, but it’s the elder Hardy’s time to shine.

    The Undertaker vs. The Big Show

    It’s been pretty widely reported that The Undertaker is in pretty bad shape.  He’s likely going to need some time off to let his injuries heal, so I’d venture to say that something will happen tonight to have ‘Taker written out of the story for a little bit.  As such, I predict a Big Show victory.

    World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contenders match:  JBL vs. Batista

    Batista is going to take this one.  Not taking anything away from JBL but with Jericho likely to win the ladder match tonight, I’m fully expecting Batista to be the number one contender.

    Kane vs. Rey Mysterio – if Rey loses, he loses his mask

    Rey Mysterio is one of the most popular superstars in the WWE among a few key demographics, particularly the younger set.  Unless the publicly traded WWE suddenly decided that they’re making too much money off of Rey Mysterio replica masks and want to unload what’s left of them at rock bottom prices, I’m fairly certain that Rey Rey is winning and keeping his mask.  What is this, WCW?

    WWE Women’s Championship:  Beth Phoenix (C) vs. Candice Michelle

    Let’s go with Candice…  BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  Yeah, Candice is going to win this match.  Candice, whose return match was luckily taped because the WWE can’t edit botched spots out of live broadcasts, is NOT winning the Women’s Championship.  Bring on the Fabulous Moolah meter, because there’s virtually nobody on the roster right now who deserves that title more than The Glamazon.

  2. SmackDown in MyRealTime; 10/3/08

  5. Unforgiven thoughts…

    Leave a Comment

    Well, I’m not going to bore you with a results page (but if you must know, Matt Hardy, Ted DiBiase & Cody Rhodes, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Michelle McCool, and in a surprising twist, Chris Jericho were your winners), I just wanted to get a few things off my chest about WWE Unforgiven 2008.

    First of all, congratulations to Matt Hardy – it may be the ECW Championship, but you’ve finally won the big one.  Unfortunately, your brother was just one second away from upstaging you and winning the World Heavyweight Championship, but instead of lunging over to break up Triple H’s pin attempt, he ran over into his own pin attempt on Shelton Benjamin.

    Speaking of which, Jeff Hardy bugged the hell out of me last night (and later on in the night, so did Kane).  Jeff was the current WWE Champion at one point, and a couple of times while he was the current champion, he went for a pinfall.  Tell me, what good would it have done for Jeff Hardy, while being the current champion in the match, to pin somebody?  He’s already achieved the only thing you get when you pin somebody, so what is the point of pinning somebody else since a pin doesn’t really benefit you.  Kane, as current World Heavyweight Champion, made a pin attempt on Batista in RAW’s Scramble Match.  It makes no sense to me.

    Speaking of the RAW match, it really bothers me that CM Punk, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, was written out of the match.  If they really wanted Jericho to win, they could have had Kane attack Mysterio backstage, have Jericho replace Mysterio and have Orton come out to the ring to cost Punk the World Championship.  I think it’s complete BS that Punk wasn’t even in the match that he lost the title in.

    The beating HBK gave Jericho last night was not as bad as they’re going to make it out to be, though Jericho did come out of the match in pretty rough shape.  You could see how badly he was beaten up as he made his way to the ring for the Championship Scramble.  That match had a pretty good finish, with Jericho stealing the victory without getting in a single move throughout the time he was in the match.

    What I’m going to take away from Unforgiven is the fact that The Brian Kendrick is eventually going to win the WWE Championship if he stays clean and doesn’t do anything stupid.  That said, the same statement will apply to Jeff Hardy, albeit much sooner than it will apply to Kendrick.

    The Big Show heel turn was piss poor.  Normally the guy arguing with whoever the Undertaker is feuding with will leave before the druids come out.  Show stood there and laughed at Vickie.  Sure, he pretended to be mad at her, but you could tell that he was turning heel the moment the camera got a shot of Show and Guerrero in the ring together.

    You guys all know that I’m normally against name changes – especially when the guy has his old name on his tights – but I think it’s a good thing they changed Afa Jr.’s name to Manu.  WWE doesn’t like to use “Junior” at the end of names (Chavo Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, and most recently and most baffling, Ted DiBiase).  People remember Afa, so calling this kid Afa isn’t going to make a lot of sense (again, see DiBiase, Ted).  Calling him Manu and telling everybody that he’s Afa’s son is a good move.

    I’m really glad that I probably won’t ever have to see that Chris Jericho/Shawn Michaels video package again.  Hopefully, Shawn’s promo at Unforgiven stating that for Jericho, the worst is still yet to come doesn’t mean that he’s going to find himself in the World Title hunt.

    That’s it for me, I’ll see you guys in the morning with a RAW review!

  9. Speeding up the corporate ladder – RAW 7/28/08

    Leave a Comment

    Holy hell – I never expected the new RAW GM to be him!  I’m not going to post it up here though, if you don’t know who it is already.  I didn’t find out who the new RAW GM was until 7:30 this morning, and I’m going to make you wait just the same.  Meanwhile, RAW was pretty… interesting last night.  Michael Cole was in a match, was beaten up, replaced with Mike Adamle, and then later, JR joined Adamle and the King on commentary.  Kane and JBL got into it a few times, Cena and Batista almost went at it, and CM Punk took on William Regal, among other things.

    The results, and my analysis after the jump!

  10. We’ll get it right eventually – RAW 7/21/08

    Leave a Comment

    Well, the end of the World Heavyweight Championship match at the Great American Bash left things a bit undecided between the World Champion CM Punk and his challenger, Batista.  So they had a rematch last night on RAW, with Punk saying “we’re going to keep doing it until we get it right,” or something along those lines.  Well, they still didn’t get it right, but I suppose I shouldn’t give away what happened just quite yet – after all, there was a whole show before that happened that I need to tell you about!

    RAW results and my thoughts, after the jump!
