    I assume you mean online......
    I'm gonna split the cost with a couple buddies, as usual. Keeps you awake too, if things get really bad...

    I totally agree with all of those predictions, aside from Taker/Edge, which really could go either way.
    I think it's a fascinating card- not the best summerslam line-up, but definitely interesting and different.

    Cheap plug too, i have full predictions up here...

    RAW is from Chicago tomorrow so Punk should retain tonight.

    ^^^
    That would be a perfect situation coming off a big, clean win.... he could end up looking like a proper champion by tomorrow's end.

    Yeah, be nice if I had someone to split with.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    ok this is kinda, but not really off topic, but i decided as i have work off tomorrow and a spare 21 euro floating about to buy it for me and my brother.

    The only thing is this is my first time :o i know, im a box office virgin!!

    Well i called the number with viewing and credit card in hand, and went to dial the number on screen, Which they dont keep up for long,.....
    Anyway, all the automated robo chick told me was that the transaction was complete after i put the sky number through. then hung up?


    Um, did i do it right?
    (How much of a n00b am i?! :p)

    Makes sense.
    Though it'd be *possible* that he could call his rematch clause and win it infront of them too! Personally I see a win for him. Pointless match all the same.

    It wont be a pointless match if CM punk wins and they give him a title run to Survivor Series/Armageddon . With Some cleans matches at PPV's it could cement his place in the Top tier of the company

    I really don't think that they want him in the top tier of the company when they've still got guys like Cena, Batista, Rey, HBK, Jericho, etc. The fact that he's not getting clean wins makes each defence more unpredictable. It also makes much more sense because he wasn't beating all his opponents before he won the title. Why should that change?

    Personally i was not a huge fan of CM punk until he started getting some promo work on raw after his MITB win . after some of his promo's , you can see his potential. The progression from underdog winner/some times losing character to main eventier has to happen at some stage otherwise he destined to be a one time champ.

    Wish I could watch this but not paying for SBO and just couldnt enjoy watching it on computer.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    Anyone got a link to a good stream?

    No way I'm paying 22 euro:D

    solid opener as is to be expected from Hardy and MVP, benjamin/MVP/Hardy angle will continue.

    Maria looking hot backstage interviewing Glamarilla, funny as always... for their match

    Any way to turn off that annoying noise when people are entering the room?

    Edit: Just figured it out.

    if its the ding every so often its the chat thing down the bottom, there is a mute button on it that only mutes the chat box not the stream above.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,316 ✭✭✭✭amacachi


    One prediction right so far. :)

    EDIT: Make that two. :)


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    I can really imagine Glamarilla (its catchy)coming out on Raw, womens title around Santino's waste, IC title around Beth's.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,013 ✭✭✭yayamark


    Rebecca is hotttttttttttt

    Bang
    Cue angry Shawn
    He's so much better when he's heel and angry


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,013 ✭✭✭yayamark


    oh poor rebecca even though i wouldnt mind lying her flat on her back ;):pac:;)

    Betcha he wont retire now betcha, betcha!


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


    That was a great segment. Awesome promo by Shawn


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


    I didn't enjoy that. It went on far too long for my liking. She sold the punch pretty well though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    Rebecca's cuts and swollen lip look pretty realistic.

    Kinda crap for a company to put a wrestler's wife in a situation like that although I'm sure she's had plenty of training and preparation for the storyline.

    No specific details there on whether this means that HBK now ISN'T retiring. Presumably he'll interfere in Jericho's match (he has one, right?) later...

    I thought it was short if anything. I'd rather that than some of the other matches on the show

    Not a chance that Shawn's retiring yet. Jericho's got no match. I think Shawn "returning" would be better used as a promo than as him interfering in a match


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


    HBK return to take revenge on Jericho for hurting his wife I guess...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    Jericho hasn't got an actual match-up tonight though, has he?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    TOTAL WTF?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    wow that match was quick, it was over and Jeff was at ringside when i got back with my food... good stuff now for matches I want to see


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,316 ✭✭✭✭amacachi


    Jesus, I knew WWE don't care much for ECW, but that was just ridiculous.

    Punk wins

    Hmm, maybe they can let Charles Montgomery Punk actually WIN a match tonight without a DQ or interference?...


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    just like at Wrestlemania... WWE's two biggest PPV's of the year and each time the ECW title match was less than a minute long


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard

    Well if that isn't Vince & Co. taking a giant piss all over what remains of the ECW and letting the world see them doing it, I don't know what is.

    The new belt is pretty cool though.


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


    Did people want to see Matt vs Henry though? That's the one I wanted to see least. Good work WWE I say

    Bit of a joke lasting one 1min, but i wouldn't like to see a long match with henry. Doubt HHH will beat Khali that quickly though.

    Jeff Hardy vs MVP was a very good opening match imo.

    BATMAN 5 TIMES

    YAY


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    clean win which is good but loads of time left so HHH v Khali will probably be longer than we would wish. Hell in a Cell obviously will be a long one too

    Punk to retain in his clearest title defence so far
    Mark Henry to retain
    MVP to beat Jeff
    Santino and Beth to win the titles
    Shawn to announce that he'll be back, but Jericho will beat him up. I'm looking forward to this

    Apart from Shawn I'm doing so much better than usual with my predictions :pac:
