Over The Limit Prediction Results

TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP - Truth and Kofi vs Ziggler/Swagger
Predicted Winner - Truth/Kofi
This was a very good match.  I was glad to see that they actually gave the Tag Titles a decent showcase on a PPV.  It was a nice change of pace.
Winner - Truth/Kofi    1 for 1
DIVAS CHAMPIONSHIP - Layla v Beth Phoenix
Predicted Winner - Beth Phoenix
As sloppy as this match was at times, it was a very good match by Diva standards.  First off they actually gave them time to wrestle.  Secondly and most importantly, Beth Phoenix was in the match.  I think Layla showed some ring rust, which is to be expected after being out for a year.  I loved the way Beth exploited Layla;s knee.
However for the prediction, I took a flyer and went with Beth because I assumed the WWE would want to get Kharma back into the fold as soon as possible.  Maybe they are waiting until SummerSlam.
Winner - Layla   1 for 2
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP FOUR WAY
Predicted Winner - Sheamus
For a four way this was a decent match.  I am not a big fan of most Triple Threat and Four Way matches, simply because at times it is hard to keep track of everything.  However I though everyone did a nice job in this one.
Winner - Sheamus     2 for 3
WWE CHAMPIONSHIP - CM Punk v Daniel Bryan
Predicted Winner - CM Punk
All I can say is WOW!  And this right now is my leading candidate for match of the year.  The best part of the entire thing is, They are at least going to have one more rematch!  They could ultimately have one of the best series of matches in WWE History.  The submission wrestling in this one was amazing.  Both guys showed that they are each in the conversation as the Best Wrestler in The World.  
Winner - CM Punk   3 for 4

JOHN CENA V JOHNNY ACE
Predicted Winner - Johhny Ace
This one went down exactly how I saw it.  Nothing much to say here.
Winner - Big Johnny  4 for 5
Added Predicition:
We will see Brodus Clay vs the Miz...with Brodus winning
I did call this one so I am giving myself credit.     5 for 6

WWE Extreme Rules Predictions

WWE Extreme Rules takes place tonight from Chicago.  Honestly I feel that this is a show that can set the tone for a very good summer for the WWE.  The crowd will be hot, as all Chicago crowds are.  We get to see the return to the ring of Brock Lesnar, plus the Second City Savior gets to defend his title in front of his home crowd.  Not to forget we get a nice 2 out of 3 falls match for the World Heavyweight Championship.

As for my predictions, I bounced back from a so-so Royal Rumble Performance with a very solid 6-2 showing for WrestleMania.  This PPV gives us some very interesting match-ups that are very difficult to call.

RANDY ORTON v KANE - Falls Count Anywhere

I do not think this match will be as good as their WrestleMania match, which was decent at best.  As shocking as it was for Kane to win at WrestleMania, I don't look for them to shock us much with the outcome of this one.  

Predicted Winner: Randy Orton

NIKKI BELLA V BETH PHOENIX - WWE Divas Championship

The story says that Beth is injured so if this match takes place I think it is a no-brainer that Nikki will take the win.  However, it would not surprise me for Beth to no-show and Kharma show up.  Even if that match does take place, Kharma is in the near future for Miss Bella.

Predicted Winner: Nikki Bella, if scheduled match takes place.

                             Kharma, if she fills in for an injured Phoenix.

BIG SHOW v CODY RHODES - WWE Intercontinental Championship

This is one of those matches that I honestly feel is a toss up.  At WM, Big Show ended Cody's long reign as IC Champ.  However, I feel that Shows win was simply a way to give him his WrestleMania moment.  So I can see this one going either way.  At first I though that Cody may be put into the WHC title picture after losing the IC strap, however now I am leaning towards them giving him another IC run.

Predicted Winner: Cody Rhodes

DANIEL BRYAN V SHEAMUS - 2 out of 3 Falls - World Heavyweight Championship

I look for the first fall of this match to be similar to their entire WrestleMania match.  After that I think these two will put on a good show.  It would not surprise me if this is the match of the night once all is said and done.  Look for Sheamus to win the first fall.  Bryan to pick up a cheap win in the 2nd fall.  Then a Brogue Kick to end the match.

Predicted Winner: Sheamus

CM PUNK V CHRIS JERICHO - Chicago Street Fight - WWE Championship

Although these are two of the best technical wrestlers in the world, don't expect anything less than a fight in this one.  The feud has been built up well and things have turned personal between Jericho and Punk.  I originally thought that Jericho winning would be a good way to extend the feud another month, however now I do not see that happening.  Plus if Punk doesn't win in Chicago, fans may RIOT.

Predicted Winner: CM Punk

BROCK LESNAR V JOHN CENA - Extreme Rules

I am interested to see Lesnar's return to the ring.  The extreme rules stipulation is a good way to cover up any ring rust that he may have.  I just can't see Lesnar losing in this one.  I do not think the WWE brings him back to lose his first tilt.  Plus, Lesnar winning helps further this change in Cena's character.

I am personally not a fan of the semi-burial of Cena as of late, but if it brings Cena back better than ever  , I am all for it.

Predicted Winner: Brock Lesnar

Side Note: Santino v The Miz is set to air on the Youtube Pre-Show, however I have decided not to make an official prediction for the match.  With no build up I just cant make my mind up.  I would like see see Santino win, but I am fearful that they are going to give the belt to Miz.

Also look for make shift matches for Lord Tensai and Brodus Clay.  I also wouldn't be surprised if we did not see the Tag Champs tonight.

Leave me some feedback and let me know what you think.

RAW kicks off with a BANG!!

The Lesnar/Cena segment that kicked off Raw this evening was easily the best opening segment of RAW in ages.  Everyone loves an old school brawl and that is exactly what we got.  Added to all that, we got some blood, which always makes these types of segments even better.

The segment started with Johnny Ace letting everyone know that he brought in Lesnar to make the WWE more legit.  Lesnar comes to the ring and as he starts to thank John, Cena's music hits.  Cena walks straight to the ring and Slaps Lesnar across the face.

Then all hell breaks loose.  A pier 6 brawl ensues which leads to everyone coming out from the back to break up Cena and Lesnar.  If Johnny wanted things to look more legit, then this segment was successful.  The first punch that Brock threw connect square on the side of Cena's face.  He must have had flash backs and thought he was destroying Frank Mir at UFC 100.  I have to give credit where credit is due, Cena took a heck of a shot and finished the segment.  The shot may have stunned him, but he wasn't knocked out.

All in all a hell of an opening segment.  I am glad to see the WWE building on the momentum that they have going.  I am looking forward to things to come.

WrestleMania 28 Predictions

When I started doing this blog I planned on doing Predictions for every WWE PPV.  That went out the window when I did not do them for the Elimination Chamber.  However I am back and better than ever and ready for the Grandest Stage of Them All.

If you remember, I did predictions for the Royal Rumble.  I went 2 for 4 (2-2) on those predictions.  That 50% rate is not good enough.  Hopefully I can do better this time around.

Kane vs Randy Orton

I honestly look for this to be a decent match.  Kane is underrated in a lot of ways.  Orton has improved over the years and is very capable of a great match.  I look for the match to last 10-15 minutes.  Not much bulid has been put into this match, as I feel it was just a good way to get two of the bigger stars on the Mania card.

Predicted Winner: Randy Orton

Cody Rhodes vs Big Show for the IC Championship

I am glad that the IC belt is being defended on the show.  The belt has to much history in the WWE not to be defended on the card.  Cody has had a long run with the title, albeit with not much competition.  Big Show is just coming off of being the the World Title picture, so him going for the IC title is a little strange.  Once again I predict another 10-15 match that is going to be decent.  Rhodes is greatly improved recently, and the Big Show is very capable of putting on a good match despite his size.

Predicted Winner: Big Show

Team Teddy vs Team Johnny

The build for this has been good.  I have honestly enjoyed the build-up for this match as much as I have any other match.  I am honestly looking forward to it, although I think the result of this match is pretty obvious.  

Predicted Winner: Team Johnny

Beth Phoenix and Eve vs Kelly Kelly and Maria Menounos

Predicted Winner: Kelly Kelly and Maria Menounos

Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan

I am looking forward to this match.  Bryan is well known as a great wrestler and is in the debate for the best wrestler in the world.  Sheamus is underrated in my book.  His straight forward, high impact style or wrestling is very effective.  he brings an intensity that no one else currently brings.  I look for this to be a good match that last 25 minutes.

Predicted Winner: Sheamus

CM Punk vs Chris Jericho for the WWE Championship

Everyone is predicting this to be the match of the year, and I hope it is, however I am afraid this may be somewhat of a let down.  Can these two guys live up to the hype?  I hope so because they are both STUDS in the ring.  Look for 30 Minutes for quality wrestling.

FYI, this is the hardest match of the night for me to call.

Predicted Winner: CM Punk

Undertaker vs Triple H - Hell In A Cell

I could analysis this for a long time, however this match it plan and simple.  STREAK goes to 20-0

Predicted Winner: Undertaker

John Cena vs The Rock

The energy for this match is going to be through the roof.  I do not think it is going to live up to the Hogan v Rock match at WM18, however the crowd is going to be HOT.  These two are going to have a ton of time to tell a story in this match.  I look for a 45 minute match.  There are a few ways this one could play out, but considering one guy is a full-timer I believe only one result would make sense......

Predicted Winner: John Cena
