Category: PPV Predictions (2002-2012)

It just occurred to me that during my predictions diatribe over the whole THREE MATCHES, I neglected to mention the Divas Title match, which Eve Torres won for some reason despite not being part of the original line-up. You know, there’s a very good reason why I didn’t bring up the match and why I didn’t acknowledge its existence in the original post;

I didn’t care.

Anyone who has read the previous predictions posts on this blog (or watched the video of me trying to watch RAW 900) should know that I don’t care for the Divas matches in general. Trying to watch these women bounce around the ring is depressing and makes me yearn for the days when WWE had competent women wrestlers who were capable of putting on a decent match every so often. It seems rather sad that when there are hot women in tight spandex on my TV these days, I want to take a piss.

I don’t blame the women; I’m sure they try their best, but their best isn’t enough and nobody else is giving me sufficient reason to care for these ladies. They have no personalities whatsoever and are nothing more than glorified interchangeable Barbie dolls.

Maybe Awesome Kong will change that perception when she eventually debuts… but I have a feeling she’s just going to be repackaged as the “black” Bertha Faye. It’s been more than a decade since such a gimmick was pulled off; I’m sure Vince is anxious for a revival.

My predictions:
Edge retains his World title.
Miz retains his WWE title.
John Cena wins the Rumble.

The results on the card:
Edge retains his World title. (1-0)
Miz retains his WWE title. (2-0)
Alberto Del Rio (YES!) win the Rumble! Thank GOD! (2-1)

POST-SHOW NOTES: It just occurred to me that Dolph Ziggler and Randy Orton, the two guys who were competing for world titles and lost, were entered into the Royal Rumble match. I guess the bump to 40 wasn’t so good after all, was it? It also just occurred to me that Kevin Nash did not tear a quad during his more-than-brief stint at the Royal Rumble. Good show, Kev.

Later.

So yeah, there’s a WWE PPV coming up and once again, it means I’ll be laying down some match predictions to the approval of no one. (As well as the bone-crushing results that follow).

(Update: Hey, kids. No results for this one. This PPV made me sad and felt like a waste of time. No sense in wasting more time on this pile of shit. Sorry.)

Okay, so tomorrow is the big WWE Taboo Tuesday pay-per-view, where fans can manipulate matches by voting. Sounds crooked to me. For those of you who have no godly idea what I’m talking about, allow me to offer some history behind this relatively new concept.

Last year, WWE had attempted a rather unique Pay-Per-View experiment… no, not the Tuesday PPV – THAT experiment had been done many years ago featuring a paltry rematch between Undertaker and Hulk Hogan. I’m talking about the interactive aspect of a show where fans have some control over what goes on in the match, either by choosing stipulations or choosing challengers to championships. Last year’s show seemed to be enough of a success that they’re trying it again this year. Now, to reiterate what I had said in the Taboo Tuesday 2004 ramblings, this wasn’t the greatest PPV I had seen, but it was something different and unique that broke the monotony of PPVs, all which seemed to booked in the same way.

Others might feel differently, but I thought that the Taboo Tuesday concept was a novel idea and shows that WWE are willing to take chances and try something different when they feel like it. Earlier this year, WWE suspended one of their regular PPVs and replaced it with an ECW one, a show that I can say was pretty entertaining. Not because the wrestling was any good, mind you, but mostly because it was a different offering from what we are commonly used to seeing from McWrestling.

Here we are: Taboo Tuesday 2005 is coming up in a few days and once again, we are given the power to vote. Now since I have night courses at school this year, I obviously won’t be able to update regularly on the blog. Instead, this’ll be a regular prediction sheet… I’ll put down what I’ve voted for, what I think would get the vote, and of course, who wins the frickin’ matches. So without further adieu, let’s get this thing done, shall we?

Quick note: I’ll post my results for the debut episode of Friday Smackdown on the site Monday, as well as a couple of other things.

So tomorrow’s another crappy PPV from World Wrestling Entertainment… I shouldn’t be negative; I’m sure Unforgiven will be a great card with lots of good in-ring action and… I shouldn’t kiss ass either, so let’s get this done.

For those who don’t know how this works, it’s simple: I predict who wins what announced matches. After the event has come and pass us over, I post the results and my own witty comments on the website. Nothing necessarily amazing, but we’ll see.

Okay. Since Wrestlemania 21, I’ve made it a conscious promise to make a conscious effort at posting these predictions (2010 Update: So much for that.) Today will be a little quicker and shorter because time is short, so here are my predictions (along with a short retort here and there):

As of today, we’re just five days away from the twenty-first iteration of Wrestlemania starring Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Oh come on, is there any other reason why you want to see the show? Because of the matches, you say? Well, let’s see what the card has so far… along with some match predictions! How apropos is this, getting back to regular predicting of WWE PPVs on Wrestlemania XXI after leaving it on Wrestlemania XX (Taboo Tuesday doesn’t count.) Don’t expect it to last, so here we go:
Added results of matches are written in italics, as well as concluding comments on the PPV in general.

Fun Fact: This show is sometimes called WWE Bad Bl**d in regards to merchandising. The original 1997 event was called Badd Blood and also featured the first ever Hell In A Cell match between Shawn Michaels and Undertaker. So it seemed almost appropriate that this new Bad Blood PPV – the first PPV to exclusively feature RAW talent – would host a Hell In A Cell main event for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Posting old PPV Picks for the 2003 No Way Out PPV that took place in Montreal, where we got Rock-Hogan II. Funny how that works; Icon Vs. Icon had two big-time main events and they took place in Canada rather than America… given that Bret vs. Vince would take place in Arizona some years later, I think we got gipped in the long run… Oh well.

For some reason, the original HTML file was labelled Survivor Series. I don’t recall if I ever did a Survivor Series picks, but this ain’t it. Therefore, it’s Armageddon 2002. In any case, I don’t remember this show aside from the World Title match between HBK and HHH, which I recall hating at the time, but somehow eased up on it at a later viewing. Don’t expect modern reflections for every match because I ain’t got any.
