WRESTLEMANIA 2017

WRESTLEMANIA 2017 PREDICTIONS
 
BRAY WYATT V. RANDY ORTON – HARPER interferes and WYATT wins.
 
BAYLEY v. CHARLOTTE v. SASHA BANKS v. NIA JAX – CHARLOTTE, as usual.
UNDERTAKER v. ROMAN REIGNS – We hope the TAKER can start another streak. ROMAN REIGNS is ready to begin a streak at NXT.
 
SETH ROLLINS v. TRIPLE H – ROLLINS, as a step toward regaining a belt.
 
JERICHO v. OWENS – OWENS.
 
GOLDBERG v. LESNAR – GOLDBERG. That F-5 by Lesnar was so awkward.
 
McMAHON v. AJ STYLES – AJ STYLES. But look for something extreme by SHANE-O-MAC
 
CENA/BELLA v. THE MIZ/MARYSE – CENA/BELLA
 
DEAN AMBROSE v. BARON CORBIN – AMBROSE.
 
TAG TEAMS – ENZO & AMORE
 
NEVILLE v. AUSTIN AIRIES – NEVILLE
 
ANDRE THE GIANT MEMORIAL ROYAL RUMBLE – BRAUN STROWMAN

ROYAL RUMBLE – 2017

THE ROYAL RUMBLE – 2017

Below is the card, and our picks, for the 2017 Royal Rumble

 

KICKOFF SHOW

SHEAMUS and CESARO v. The BULLET CLUB (GALLOWS and ANDERSON)

We are picking Sheamus and Cesaro, who are, pound for pound, the most boring Tag Team in WWE.

MAIN CARD

NIA JAX v. SASHA BANKS

We’re going with Sasha Banks – not for any particular reason.  We really don’t care who wins.

BLISS/JAMES/NATALYA v. LYNCH/BELLA/NAOMI

We’re picking the heels – Bliss, James, and Natalya.  And would Natalya still be wrestling if she weren’t a Hart?

RICH SWAN v. NEVILLE

Neville.  They should reinvigorate the high-flying acrobat.

CHARLOTTE v. BAYLEY

The crowd loves Bayley, but you can never go wrong betting on Charlotte.  She’s a Flair.

KEVIN OWENS v. ROMAN REIGNS

Roman Reigns is supposed to be a Face, but gets booed; that says enough. Reigns lacks talent, ability, technique, and can barely talk.  Maybe, he can join BIG SHOW in retirement.

STYLES v. CENA

Let’s Go Cena.  He’s overdue for a PPV victory.  This should be the best match of the night.

THE MAIN EVENT – THE ROYAL RUMBLE

Some possible “unannounced” entrants – SHINSUKE NAKAMURA, FINN BAYLOR, SAMOA JOE, SHANE McMAHON, ZACH RYDER.

Our pick to win – RKO (outta nowhere).

2016 ROYAL RUMBLE

PREDICTIONS FOR 2016 ROYAL RUMBLE:
 
Kalisto v. Del Rio (US Championship) –  Del Rio
Becky Lynch v. Charlotte (Divas Championship) – Charlotte
Usos v. New Day (Tag Team Championship) – New Day
Ambrose v. Owens  (Intercontinental Championship) – Ambrose
Royal Rumble – Stone Cold Steve Austin or The Rock
 
Without Daniel Bryan, Cena, Rollins, and RKO, the product is suffering.  They need something radical for the Royal Rumble. They need a wildcard.
 
We cannot sit through another Sheamus v. Roman Reigns Championship match.  

THE SMACK ON SMACKDOWN – April 9, 2015 (Dallas, TX)

The show began with Daniel Bryan, saying that his Intercontinental Championship would mean even more if he were to defend it.   Bad News Barrett and Sheamus then threatened Bryan.  The crowd chanted, “You look stupid” towards Sheamus.  Dolph Ziggler then emerged to save the day.  But Big Show then came out and said that his victory in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal meant that he had “eclipsed” Andre the Giant in history, and proves that he had surpassed anything that Andre the Giant had ever been.  This set up for a six man Tag Team match at the Main Event.

RAW BRAWDCAST – April 6, 2015 (Austin, TX)

Michael Cole is still absent from his Lesnar “injury” (translation: he’s on vacation), but JBL returned after unspecified “surgery” (he’s not on vacation). Byron Saxton filled in.   Continue reading RAW BRAWDCAST – April 6, 2015 (Austin, TX)

THE SMACK ON SMACKDOWN – April 2, 2015 (Fresno, CA)

The show began with repeat footage from Monday’s Fallout show – footage which was repeated several times on Monday Night RAW after it happened.  Michael Cole and JBL allegedly had surgery from Lesna’r’s violent rage.  But they’ll be back Monday.  Which one will have a (fake) neck brace?  Mike Phillips filled in for Michael Cole.   Continue reading THE SMACK ON SMACKDOWN – April 2, 2015 (Fresno, CA)

RAW BRAWDCAST – MARCH 30, 2015 (San Jose, CA)

The Fallout Show, after Wrestlemania, opened with (Good Evening Ladies and Gentleman, my name is) Paul Heyman advocating for the FORMER reigning, defending, undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lensar. He said that Lesnar almost respects Roman Reigns, but that Seth Rollins, the CURRENT reigning, defending . . . is “slimy.” Heyman threatened litigation, but stated that his client was against it because “all lawyers are scumbags.” A rematch of Rollins and Lesnar was set to be the Main Event. Continue reading RAW BRAWDCAST – MARCH 30, 2015 (San Jose, CA)

RAW BRAWDCAST – March 23, 2015 (Los Angeles, CA)

RAW BRAWDCAST – March 23, 2015 (Los Angeles, CA)

Sting opened the show.   Stephanie McMahon stepped in the ring to taunt him, telling him that dogs are stupid and he is “nothing but a face painted freak.” Sting caught Stephanie McMahon’s hand as she was trying to slap him. Triple H approached with his trademark sledgehammer as Sting swung his trademark bat in the ring. The confrontation never happened, but suspense was built in anticipation of their match at Wrestlemania. Apparently, this is the Seniors’ Section because the combined ages of these two wrestlers is over 100. Will it be sponsored by Geritol? Continue reading RAW BRAWDCAST – March 23, 2015 (Los Angeles, CA)

THE SMACK ON SMACKDOWN – March 19, 2015 (Kansas City, MO)

The show began with Roman Reigns talking to the crowd.  Thankfully, it was short because Mark Henry (with two first names) entered the ring.  Henry said he’s putting all his money on Reigns to beat Brock Lesnar.  Out came Kane and Seth Rollins, with briefcase in hand, and J&J Security at his side.  Rollins claimed that J&J Security had secured the ring so that Randy Orton won’t show up.   Continue reading THE SMACK ON SMACKDOWN – March 19, 2015 (Kansas City, MO)

THE SMACK ON SMACKDOWN – March 12, 2015 (Detroit, Michigan)

Smackdown started with Daniel Bryan acknowledging how he didn’t make it to the main event at Wrestlemania. Bryan said he wrestled some of the best WWE superstars – Mr. Perfect, Bret Hart, Randy Savage, and Ricky Steamboat, all who were Intercontinental Champions. He said the only WWE championship that he hadn’t won is the Intercontinental Championship. (He hasn’t won the Diva’s Championship either, even though he’s in the right weight class).  He entered himself into the ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship at Wrestlemania.
