EvilBeef some interesting predictions, here's mine
+++++++++

Kane/Matt Hardy: Death do us part

I see Matt winning and dumping Lita, then going on a soul search (surgery) OR the very lame and usually very unsurprising, unoriginal twist of Lita setting Matt up and walking out laughing with Kane (ala Trish with Christian).

The first would be my preference BUT McMahon likes to go with what has always worked in the past even if it has been done to death so.... Lita turns on Matt, she's not preggers (just used that to get into Matt's head, and Matt gets "injured" and disappears.
====

Edge/Jericho/Batista: IC title

The rumors I have seen have Edge joining Evolution and Orton turning face so, another double cross prediction where Edge looks to be Jericho's friend, gets "hurt" then as Jericho is about to beat Batista Edge comes alive and beats the Hell outta Jericho then lies down for Batista and joins Evolution.
=======

HHH/Eugene:

I agree with you Regal comes back and beats HHH and helps Darsow... I mean Eugene. I also see Eugene getting hit in the head and becoming a genius. That would be another predictable twist but one I could stomach
====

Orton/Benoit: World Title

Easy prediction (if the rumors of Orton turning face are true), HHH interferes hits Orton instead of Benoit and sets up Orton's face turn and a Benoit/Orton rematch.

If the rumors are false then Orton wins with Flair's help, again setting up a rematch. But the twist is HHH expects Orton to lie down for him and Orton refuses thus Orton then becomes a face.... not much else can honestly help if McMahon is truly trying to push Orton as a star.
=======

Dudleyz/Cruisers

I agree with you... plus I truly don't find much to be excited about in this match.
=====

Cena/Booker
I can see Cena winning, Booker is looking to retire and work backstage as an agent and booker. So I see Booker losing and disappearing except for a few "filler" matches. Cena is another big bucks prospect and McMahon is cleaning out a lot of the old timers for the new guys so...
======

JBL/Undertaker: WWE title

Taker all the way. McMahon owes Big Mark Calloway bigtime for not leaving when everyone else went to WCW. People love the Taker and it gives him one last hurrah before he drops the belt to someone like Cena and retires.
====

There's my predictions and opinions.

I will say this the WWE needs this to be a big seller and really grab people because McMahon is in negotiations to renew his SpikeTV contract and unlike a few years ago wrestling isn't as big as when he first got there so he needs to get ratings up fast or face a big paycut in the contract.

Plus Ted Turner/AOL's no compete clause from WWE's WCW buyout ends at the end of this year and there is talk Ted Turner may buy up Jarrett's TNA-NWA franchise, which would again create competition for WWE and again, McMahon is not ready for it.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
