Choke's Survivor Series PPV Predictions
Posted by: choke Nov 20, 2011 | 1525 views | 1 comments
My predictions for tonight's PPV.
Been on a break for a while because the WWE has simply been terrible and not worth writing about lately. I remember when Survivor Series was an exciting event year in and year out. Now it evokes the same emotions in me as the old "In Your House" PPVs.
WWE United States Championship Match: John Morrison vs Dolph Ziggler
I think there's a very good chance Ryder gets into this match solely because otherwise this match existing would be mind numbingly absurd. Then again mind-numbingly absurd seems to the direction the WWE has been taking the last few months so God only knows. I really dont see Morrison winning this with zero momentum so I'm gonna go with a Ziggler retain. If Ryder is in for a triple threat I could see him taking it, but even then Ziggler still has a good shot.
Prediction: DOLPH ZIGGLER RETAINS
Divas Championship Match: Eve vs Beth Phoenix in a Lumberjill match
Bottom line is if Eve wins the Divas Championship at this time, the WWE truly has no clue what they're doing anymore. In other words, it could happen.
Prediction: BETH PHOENIX RETAINS THE WWE DIVAS CHAMPIONSHIP
The WWE is so dull I just copy and paste predictions month in and month out like the one above.
Team Orton vs Team Barrett in a traditional Survivor Series Tag Match
Part of me thinks they're going to make this match happen later, maybe even after after Show/Henry. This would be a terrible idea if they did, because this match is worthless. This match is the worst of Raw and Smackdown from the last 2 months all blended up, eaten, and shat out in a half hour or so atrocity. As you can tell, expectations are fever high here on this. Why should we give a crap about who wins this? Here's what they should have done instead:
Randy Orton vs Cody Rhodes for the IC Belt (2 minutes maximum stipulation, as well as a "these two will never meet each other in the ring for the next 3 years no matter who wins or loses" stip)
Sheamus vs Wade Barrett in a #1 Contender's match for the World Heavyweight Championship for Royal Rumble
Swaggler vs Air Boom (Mason Ryan replacing Bourne) for the Tag Team Titles. Stipulation of Mason Ryan gets shipped to FCW if he wins and is fired completely if he loses.
Hunico and Sin Cara wrestle blindfolded from the scaffolding the entire PPV with no safety nets
Back to our unfortunate reality: They really should have Wade win this to keep his momentum going. 2nd best option would be Sheamus to set up his renewed feud with Henry. So naturally I'm going with Randy Orton to win it.
Prediction: Randy Orton wins increasing his win ratio % to an astonishing 96%
World Heavyweight Championship: Mark Henry vs Big Show
I mean there's just no reason at ALL to give this to Show at this point. I think they have him look strong in defeat for what it's worth.
Prediction: MARK HENRY RETAINS
That one was also copy/pasted from Vengeance
WWE Championship match: CM Punk vs Alberto Del Rio
I still contend that Cena should and will not have the WWE Belt before facing Rock at Mania. As such, I think the CM Punk/Del Rio feud will be drawn out for a while. I like Punk to win at Rumble or Mania, though that's probably looking too far ahead
Prediction: DEL RIO RETAINS THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP
Cena/Rock vs Miz/Truth
Two obvious routes they can go here. #1 Rock/Cena destroy Awesome Truth despite their differences and then Rock Rock Bottoms Cena or #2 Rock/Cena cannot coexist because of their differences and Awesome Truth pick up a cheap victory even though the WWE never wastes a Raw without showing us that Cena can take them both out within seconds by himself and with a severe handicap. Gonna go with #2 because it accomplishes both goals of having people interested in Cena vs Rock as well as further establishing Awesome Truth as a force to be reckoned with.
Prediction: Miz/Truth win because Rock/Cena cant get along
