Wtf, page 4, well deserving of a bump.

Anyone else planning on watching NofC tonight?

Predictions, in order of what i think will be a good match:

Miz vs Dragon I would bet this is the opener. Dragon will look strong and hopefully the two get some good time to tell a story. I can see two scenarios. Miz somehow cheats to avoid losing the title, maybe faking an injury like on Raw or the classic count out loss, maybe a DQ. Dragon gets the win, Miz keeps the title, queue somewhat interesting promos on Raw on this setting up some kind of gimmick match next month at Hell in a Cell. Alternately i can see Miz trying to fake injury, refusing to quit and give him the win, then deciding to walk away and getting the loss but the Raw GM emails Cole and restarts the match as no count out in which case Dragon goes over and Miz has an excuse to further claim he was injured when he lost, he was cheated, yadda yadda.

If i have to choose one then Dragon wins by DQ (interference by Riley), Miz retains. Next month they go for a full cell match so Riley cannot get involved again.

Six Pack challenge. When 6 wrestlers go at it there is always the danger it just becomes a ****ty spot fest with no actual story or anything in play. Start with spot one, quick cut to spot 2 with another pair, then cut to the third pair doing another spot, now back to the first pair etc etc. But it is just so damn packed with talent how can you not expect some cools spots to come out of it. The question here is did Jericho extend his contract and that more or less concludes my prediction, lol. He has told no one, or if he has they have told no one. One thing i expect is Sheamus doesnt retain and he doesnt get pinned. Wade doing the job is the obvious pick, but it makes Nexus look very weak if he does so i dont think they will do that.

So, two options again. Jericho doesnt sign and he jobs to Orton. Jericho does sign and he beats Cena, but probably in a goofy way like Nexus somehow get involved and Cena takes 15 finishers, then gets shot in the face and he still kicks out of the first cover which was by Orton who is then dragged off by Jericho who then steals the win. My money is Jericho did sign and he gets the win but i dont have any strong reasons why, i just dont see him walking away now and i think Vince would rather give him the cushy limited house show contract like Taker has that he wants than see him walk over it.

Kane vs Taker. Taker has been looking weak. He loses but only through some kind of cheating with Hell in a Cell being the next PPV and this obviously being the perfect timing for them to end to the story. Kane wins by unseen cheating.

Big Show vs Punk - Punk really really needs the win. Some kind of interference to get it maybe, but i hope he can go over clean.

Dolph vs Kofi - Err, no idea. Honestly. With all the dirty finishes ive predicted it turns into a TNA PPV if Vicky gets involved and Dolph wins dirty given the ridiculous stipulations. Given the number of heels going over i gotta predict Kofi just for the way the deck is stacked in his favour but i do kinda expect a Russo goofy finish like Vicky somehow costing Dolph the title.

Tag match - Hart Dynasty vs someone they havent announced yet. ****ing awesome build here ldo. I would guess it is Cody and Drew McIntire given they beat them on SD. There arent any face tag teams i can think of right now so i gotta assume Harts retain. If i knew who it was id probably rate this match higher but i refuse to.

Womens unification match - the only match i refuse to rate the mens tag match lower than. This will be a ridiculous botch fest, liking end up starting the LayCool split, probably involving Michelle going over and not giving Layla a match. I just cant see Melina winning, she is just too rusty and the first (technically) unified womens champ is the kind of honeymoon present from Vince to Takerette i can see happening.

Jesus Christ. I was sure he killed himself then. Wtf was he even doing trying that crossbody?!.

He is insane.

Bahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Nice editing on a pre recorded show to not have the ****ing finish during the episode. Wtf is wrong with TNA?

He wasnt even close to pull that move off. So nuts.

In this case I think they just wanted to make people watch Reaction.

It is probably a big middle finger to the people watching on torrents and youtube as much as anything, lol.

Btw, did you hear their last PPV did less than 10k buys? Rumour right now is TNA is gonna scrap all PPVs because they dont profit from them and just run monthly specials on Spike. Big things happening in TNA. They really are circling the drain and with the talent they have its so ridiculous.

Oh and fwiw best i cant tell the UK, which probably have more fans than the US given it sometimes beats Raw for viewers, doesnt get Reaction. So that was a nice thing to see. Not that it matters much given the channel that shows TNA is getting shutdown so unless Sky decides to keep the TNA contract (they own the WWE broadcasting) its quite likely TNA is about to see a huge chunk of revenue just disappear into thin air depending on how their contract was set up.

The show just gets worse and worse every week.

This week they had Abyss torturing people backstage with a red hot branding iron and Tenay and Taz are like, hey, that's nuts, now lets talk to RVD on the phone!

If it wasn't for Spoony I couldn't bear it.

I'll prob get it tonight.

I see Miz retaining for a little while still because I don't see him cashing in the briefcase for a while and the belt gives him an excuse for more air time.

I don't see Jericho winning anything ever again. I feel like the match is going to go: something happens between Wade and Cena and that sets up the Wade/Cena feud, and then Orton and Shemus get HU for the belt, Orton prob wins and that sets up the Orton/Shemus feud.

Taker/Kane, I can see arguments for either person winning, but it seems like it should just be build up to HITC so it seems like the easiest way to get there is Taker winning by some fluke way and Kane using his rematch clause to set up the blow off match. If Kane beats Taker there really isn't any build up, plus kayfabe-wise, it seems like other people should be in line to challenge him. So if Kane wins, the only way the match will get any traction will be if he drops the belt between PPVs, and being on Smackdown I doubt that's going to happen.
UNLESS Kane wins and Miz runs in, cashes in the MITB and becomes the Smackdown champ. I'd mark out pretty hard if that happened, but the probability is really low.
The rest of the matches I don't really care about. I love Punk, but I hate Show matches.

....just remembered that Miz can only cash in his case for the Raw belt. Taker has to win just for continuity sake.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. It does suck to blow off the feud like that though, imo. Esp since they dont really have anyone set in a position to take on Taker post HIAC.

Fwiw the stip that Jericho has given himself is if he doesnt win he will leave the company. Going into it the creative plan always was if he signs a new contract he wins, if he doesnt he wont.

I dunno, time will tell.

I agree they are setting up a Cena vs Barrett at HIAC next month however they book it, hence me breaking rule 1 in WWE predicting and just assume Cena wins every single match. No way Barrett goes over and no way he faces Cena for the title one on one next month.

Fwiw i am actually quite looking forward to this ppv, though frankly i expect a lot of that is down to Miz vs Bryan.

I kind of figured Thwagger would get a feud with whoever has the belt after HITC b/c it's the only logical thing to do.
I do remember that Jericho stip, but I figure that since he was "out" of the 6pack and then back "in", that they could justify not living up to it.

Miz vs. Daniel Bryan - Daniel Bryan vis DQ, Miz retains
Ziggler vs. Kingston - Kingston
McCool vs. Melina - McCool
Hart Dynasty vs. TBA - TBA, new champions, I feel like WWE is ******ed and always has the mystery team win here
6 Pack Challenge - Randy Orton new champion
Kane vs Undertaker - Kane

Will watch tonight and just as I was diggin TNA that torture scene makes me realise WWE (what I dont watch) will kill TNA. When Shaun put Jenetty through the window as a kid that was the pinnicle of OMG this is just wtf is this ****.

Highlight of the match was the Lane Bryant name drop.

Great work by Kofi/Ziggler IMO. Loved the finish.

Pretty obv yeah? Kofi needs to move on is zzzzzzzzzz

Good match zzzz fued ?

Pretty good opener. Just what the IC should be used for.

Yeah, the booking of the finish was well executed with a nice little swerve to it.

yeah Dolph is like the Billy Gunn of 2010, impossible to get anyone to care about him
