    HAHA i was going to say the same thing.

    Cruiserweight Open:
    Chavo (c) vs Jimmy Wang Yang vs Shannon Morre vs Funaki vs Jamie Noble
    Prediction: I'm thinkin there'll be a new champ if Rey's going to be feuding with Chavo soon. I just can't see Rey going for the cruiserweight belt. So Jimmy Yang makes the most sense here. I really don't like these cruiserweight opens though, is the belt incapable of being defended one-on-one?

    Womens Title Match
    Candice (c) vs Melina
    Prediction: Candice

    United States Title Match
    Montel Vontavious Porter (c) vs Matt Hardy
    Prediction: I think MVP will hold onto the title a while longer. Could be a very good match

    Intercontinental Title Match
    Umaga (c) vs Jeff Hardy
    Prediction: I think both these guys are rumoured to be getting involved with the Jackass guys at Summerslam, so I don't know where the IC belt fits into it. Umaga to retain

    Texas Bullrope Match
    Dusty Rhodes vs Randy Orton
    Prediction: Should be Orton. This match has had the best buildup and could be great. Dusty should be congratulated for being able to retain the physique he had in his 20's

    Singapore Cane on a pole Match
    Carlito vs Sandman
    Prediction: I'll go with Sandman, with a post match beatdown by Regal

    ECW World Title Match
    John Morrison (c) vs CM Punk
    Prediction: Morrison will retain in his debut. Should be a solid match

    World Heavyweight Title Match
    Great Khali (c) vs Batista vs Kane
    Prediction: Khali to retain. I'm surprised so many people are convinced that either Kane or Batista will be winning here. I think Khali retaining is much more likely

    WWE Title Match
    John Cena (c) vs Bobby Lashley
    Predicton: Cena to win, but not cleanly. Kennedy interfering might happen, I could see a triple threat with those three at Summerslam. This match will probably end up better than I'm expecting it to, I really don't like Lashley

    I'd expect some sort of announcement about HHH and Mysterio coming back this week or something too

    WWE.com says that the rules of the bullrope match have been changed. Instead of touching all four turnbuckles, it can only end by pinfall or submission. There must be some reason for that, although I'm sure Orton will win anyway
    Lashley might be doing a heel turn. During the Raw house show on Friday he did a heel turn after his match with Cena, so it might have been something they were rehearsing

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Haven't watched wrestling in a while but might give this a look. I reckon it will be decent.

    Cruiserweight Open:
    Chavo (c) vs Jimmy Wang Yang vs Shannon Moore vs Funaki vs Jamie Noble

    Maybe a new champion here not that I care either way. I'll say Yang.

    Womens Title Match
    Candice (c) vs Melina

    I'll go with Candice to retain.

    United States Title Match
    Montel Vontavious Porter (c) vs Matt Hardy

    Matt eliminated him on Friday which leads me to believe MVP gets the win.

    Intercontinatal Title Match
    Umaga (c) vs Jeff Hardy

    Jeff to be given a decent chance but Umaga to retain.

    Texas Bullrope Match
    Dusty Rhodes vs Randy Orton

    Orton to continue his push with another win.

    Singapore Cane on a pole Match
    Carlito vs Sandman

    Sandman to win, probably with help from Jim Duggan. This match will be something else.

    ECW World Title Match
    John Morrison (c) vs CM Punk

    Considering current circumstances it's amazing they refuse to put the belt on a guy whose gimmick is that he's drug-free. Morrison retains through cheating.

    World Heavyweight Title Match
    Great Khali (c) vs Batista vs Kane

    Too early for the giant donkey to lose it yet. Khali over Kane here to set up a Batista feud.

    WWE Title Match
    John Cena (c) vs Bobby Lashley

    As much as I hate to say it I reckon Vince will stick his fingers up to the rest of the world by putting the title on the gassed up freak that is Bobby Lashley.

    Then we will have Lashley, Khali and Nitro...er Morrison sorry, as three world champions. Yes folks wrestling is in the sh*tter.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,124 ✭✭✭Jonny Arson


    Yang to win Cruiserweight Open/Latest PPV filler
    Candice over Melina
    MVP over Hardy
    Umaga over the 2nd best Hardy
    The Legend Killer over Rhodes
    Carlito over Sandman
    Johnny Nitro over Punk
    Lashley vs Cena to go to Summerslam after a DQ or something
    Kane to pin that talentless piece of crap (that may apply to both Khali and Roidtista!)

    only looking forward to MVP vs Hardy and maybe Nitro and Punk to a lesser extent but the rest of the card is a complete suckfest. this has ''worst PPV of the year'' written all over it

    Pretty good ppv, I'd put it up there with WM and Backlash for one of the best WWE ppvs this year
    Matt and MVP had a very good match, ending seemed a bit off, I thought Matt had got knocked out for real or something

    The cruiser match was a lot better than any other cruiserweight open I can remember. I think the ending was given away by the start. Noble was excellent, pity he was the one doing the job

    Carlito and Sandman was short and sweet. Women's match wasn't too good, they messed up a few times. Melina couldn't see half of the time as her hair covered her face. The backstage segment after this was just weird, but it made me laugh

    Jeff vs Umaga was a great match, Jeff was brilliant here, so much better than usual. I don't usually find his selling believable, he just looks lazy in the ring, but he had it right tonight. Umaga plays his role perfectly

    Punk and Morrison had a decent match, strange ending though. Better than their last match

    Dusty cut an awesome promo earlier in the show. His match was kinda short, it could have been something much more special if they had more time. Did its job though. I suppose the way to finish the match was changed so that Orton could just do the ending quickly instead of having to go through all four turnbuckles

    I thought the triple threat was passable, at least when Khali wasn't doing anything. When he was involved it was terrible. He was selling the wrong parts of his body when he got hit, and practically setting himself up for moves that would be done on him, it was getting too obvious what would happen next. I'm glad Kane was in there. It really makes me wonder how Cena had alright matches with Khali

    Main event was pretty damn good, mainly the second half of it. I really couldn't care less about Lashley, I've been given no reason at all why I should care about him, and I got very worried when he hit that spear on Cena. Lashley as champ would really put me off watching Raw again. Fair play to Cena though, he did very well with everything in this match apart from the facial expression during the STFU. What is he like?!


  • Registered Users Posts: 938 ✭✭✭HorseRadish


    I reckon some of Creative mustve been watching
    The Open
    earlier in the day in regards to the Cruiserweight match :D

    i would say lashley could win this, they a=seen to be giving him a pretty big push at the moment, which is a shame..... i hate him!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,346 ✭✭✭Double C


    Didn't enjoy it a whole lot apart from the IC match which stole the show. Granted I went to bed before the two main events, but I doubt they would have had any bearing on my overall opinions of it.

    Matt landed akwardly when he countered the Regalplex from MVP, he was a bit groggy after that.

    Punk vs Morrison was going well until the end. Nitro has his Val Kilmer impression down to a tee! Just read there that Morrison quoted Blake after the match, I love this gimmick.

    Hornswaggle vs WeeMan at Summerslam.

    The Hardys wear too much fake tan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,632 ✭✭✭SuperWoody101


    I thought it was one of the worst PPV's ever, Jeff Hardy did well and the Cena match was ok but it was very short. Other then that I thought it was s**t.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,045 ✭✭✭Vince135792003


    I thought it was one of the worst PPV's ever

    I take it you never saw December to Dismember last year? Or even worse a legends of wrestling ppv?

    This was not a bad ppv in my opinion and was a good effort particularly with arguably 5 of their best workers on the shelf.

    I bet he hasn't seen some of the GAB shows of recent years either which were just atrocious. This was one of the better ones.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,552 ✭✭✭Bobalicious93


    i don't know if anybody noticed when jeff hardy hit the Whisper in the Wind, JR was screaming "TWIST OF FATE!! TWIST OF FATE!! BAH GAWD TWIST OF FATE!!!!" and also as somebody else pointed out when cena had the ST-FU locked in his face was really stupid and i think lashley must have said something funny beacuase it looked to me as if he was trying (and failing) to hold back laughter. if you have a chance to see this again please check that out and see if you can tell


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,594 ✭✭✭Fozzy


    i don't know if anybody noticed when jeff hardy hit the Whisper in the Wind, JR was screaming "TWIST OF FATE!! TWIST OF FATE!! BAH GAWD TWIST OF FATE!!!!"

    I noticed that alright, I looked up when I heard him say Twist of Fate and Jeff was flyin through the air. JR does that a lot with the Hardys though. Something else I found funny was when Cole said that the cruiserweight limit is 250lbs. That means that Cena passes for a cruiser, along with almost everyone else on the roster

    Lashley saying something funny?! Nah, I seriously doubt it! I think Cena was really good with his facial expressions during that match, although part of me thinks that he was just showing off in front of Lashley


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,346 ✭✭✭Double C


    Not a major announcer faux-pas, but one that annoyed me was both Styles and Taz calling an inziguri a Shining Wizard. No one calls a Shining Wizard like Dave Prazak.


    On a completely unrelated topic (but one that doesn't warrant a thread of it's own) Jamie Noble has been made a road agent. He's going to be in charge of setting up the Cruiserweight matches. Should be a nice easy job for him, about 4 minutes every week. Considering he is one of 3 capable cruisers on the roster, it's a good move. It's just a shame that he's probably got a job for life now, removing all hope of him one day returning to ROH.

    I'm about to watch the fourway match with him, Punk, Joe and Daniels, great stuff. I did think that the cruiserweight open was a lot better than previous ones, looks like a good job so far from him. I just wish he were on tv a bit more often


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,124 ✭✭✭Jonny Arson


    the PPV did exactly what it said on the tin, overall not very good but wasn't the December to Dismember catastrophe it could easily have been

    MVP and Hardy was great, Umaga and Jeff was ok, Cruiserweight ok (Hornswoggle winning worsens the divisions credibility) and I enjoyed the triple threat, Kane and Batista did well when it was just them, Khali is so horrifically bad it is actually comical, whenever he does a move I just laugh, too funny!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,917 ✭✭✭RebelRockChick


    The ppv was the greatest but obviously wasn't the worst. The US title and IC title matches were standout matches. Honestly didn't think the women's match was too bad, great to see how much Candice has improved!!

    Not sure about Hornswoggle winning the CW title, but I'm glad that they did explain how he qualified for the match by entering at the start.

    It was great seeing Noble back wrestling though. Good choice as a road agent for the CW matches though, hopefully this will see some improvement in the division!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,045 ✭✭✭Vince135792003


    (Hornswoggle winning worsens the divisions credibility) and

    What credibility? The WWE doesn't care so as a result nobody else does. The title has been filler tv for years.

    Hornswaggle could be funny for a month but when you think of what they could do with the division, its pretty ridiculous.

    To be honest, I'd prefer if they just got rid of the title. If they won't treat it seriously there's no point.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,346 ✭✭✭Double C


    You'd think that with Smackdowns lack of.... everything thats half decent (Finlay, Flair, Hardy and MVP excluded), they would decide to spend around 20 minutes on the CW's. But noooo!

    Just typing that has made me really want to see Finlay vs Flair.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,756 ✭✭✭demanufactured


    Just end this stupid brand split , get rid of half the talent , that way TNA can get som decent talent then we might see a bit of competition.

    WWE right now is at a real low as far as interest goes , no one wants cena as champ anymore , no one certainly want khali as champ , let alone wrestling

    TNA have more than enough talent. Its their biggest asset. The last thing they need is more WWE castoffs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17 lw


    Personally I think Edge is that good as a heel, he could have pulled off being champ for a long time. After the PPV at the weekend, I felt kinda empty as almost nothing changed from before the event. I was hoping for at leat one of the hardy's to bring credability to a title ( most of the title holders would put you to sleep) but all we get is someone who cant move around a ring like Khali retaining and boring the hell out of us for weeks to come.

    nah i'm almost sure he said 215lbs hehe, that reminds me of a couple of years ago when Matt Hardy wanted to be a cruiserweight but he was too heavy so he "went on a diet" i thought that was a pretty funny storyline
