...long live the Michinoku Driver!

trench · 10-21-2003, 08:22 PM

You can't be at your best with out a good feud. And where are you going to get one but from your own stable! Its a natural progression of leadership, rebellion, and a new order being established. All fun and good! Think of the PPV tie-ins!!

HHH VS. ORTON - PART 23!!!!

meanSpleen · 10-22-2003, 06:45 PM

hehe, just read about this on a wrestling site (in my own words, mind you):

Hulk Hogan injured his knee while in Japan during a match. He was already commited to go to NWA:TNA for a match with Jeff Jarrett. But his injury will require surgery. So their SUPER HUGE MEGA PPV that was supposed to put TNA on the map will not continue as planned. All the other scheduled matches will continue, including the 2nd X-Division Ultimate X match.

hehe.... too bad for NWA.

JimmyTheHutt · 10-23-2003, 01:30 PM

Triple HHH needs to disappear for awhile. Sorry to say, but he's gotten SO boring in the last 12 months that it almost defies description. All of his charisma and menace are gone.

I was so glad to see him finally get beat. Its just such a shame it was by Goldberg....

brandon11983 · 10-23-2003, 01:37 PM

Just curious here, but how did Brock beat 'Taker? Was it a clean cut victory or did he cheat somehow?

meanSpleen · 10-23-2003, 09:35 PM

Are you talking about the PPV Biker Chain Match?

Everytime Taker went for the chain, something happened to screw him over.

1) The lights went out
2) The FBI bum-rushed him
3) VinnieMac slithered out from under the ring and pushed him off the ropes.

So yes, Brock did cheat, even though he may or may not have been directly a cause of it.

=====

Shaniqua got nice, decent boob implants. Good for her. She is actually looking cute now.

=====

It was good to see Shelton Benjamin in the ring again, even though it was against Scotty 2 Hottie and Rikishi (ass).

=====

For those wondering, yes, Spanky and Paul London have worked together before in a previous company. I'm looking forward to them working together as a tag team, as they are both accomplished and able high flyers.

=====

PAUL FREAKING HEYMAN!!! WOOOO!!!!

the only downside is that now we have two mean pooheads on both brands. Bitchoff and Heyman. Hopefully, StepHHH will come back and wiggle her way into co-general manager.

On a side note: WWE Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain for PS2 comes out this week. Anyone a big fan of the Smackdown series on PS2? Anyone planning on picking this game up? It looks like a definite winner. I'm gonna hopefully get mine tomorrow morning

Mr. Spacemonkey · 10-27-2003, 01:17 PM

I'm definitely planning on getting that game. I already have WWE Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth and i enjoyed it. I've heard there were good reviews for the game so i'll probably get WWE Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain. I'm not sure how soon though.

DownwardSpiral · 10-27-2003, 02:03 PM

I'll be buying Here Comes the Pain as soon as it hits stores here.

meanSpleen · 10-29-2003, 07:52 PM

The new announcer, with Josh Mattews (the future of play-by-play), on Velocity is Bill DeMott.

...

?? Why?!?!

Its not that I don't like the guy, I just don't like the guy. Sure, he is a pretty tough guy, and he can mostlikely kick my ass. Sure he's been in the business and knows the aches and pains that come along with it. Sure, he really hasn't done anything special in the WWE. I just don't see him as a good color commentator.

He's not that charasmatic.

He was probably the least liked trainer on Tough Enough, right down there with Chavo.

He's not Tazz.

He'll never be Tazz.

Oh well, we get to see him this Saturday.

Prophecy · 10-30-2003, 11:15 AM

I read on a forum somewhere today that RVD is gonna leave the WWE soon. Does anyone know anything about this? And I mean he's supposed to quit, not fired.

DownwardSpiral · 10-30-2003, 01:41 PM

I haven't heard anything about Van Dam leaving WWE, it dosen't seem likely at the time anyway. Sounds like a bad rumor if you ask me.

meanSpleen · 10-30-2003, 07:06 PM

He's in contract negotiations (finally) with the company. Although it may be a losing battle (for them), as RVD usually doesn't gloss anything over in his interviews. He says what he says, and we all get the impression that he would be happier elsewhere. But theres a lot to be said about more money.

BigGov · 10-30-2003, 08:11 PM

RVD doesn't really like the WWF/E, however, there is no other major promotion, except for NWA-TNA, which isn't exactly the best alternative.

meanSpleen · 10-30-2003, 09:32 PM

There is always Japan. Zero One, All Japan, heck just choose one, and he'll be loved to pieces.

=====

Anyone remember Matt Morgan? It took me a few minutes, but I finally remembered him from Tough Enough! Man, that guy was huge back then (built like linebacker) but now he's looking like Chuck Palumbo. I wish he'd shave that beard though...

Prophecy · 10-31-2003, 07:12 AM

So RVD's in contract negotiations, I hope everything works out for the best. If he leaves who else is a real risk taker in the WWE besides Shane and Christian?(Only every now and then.)

Speaking of huge how do you guys feel about Brock Lesnar's team for Survior Series? That seems like a tall number to tackle mainly b/c Brock doesn't lose since he's became a heel and Big Slow is well, just big...

Of course I'd love to see The Crippler and Kurt put on their submission finishers at the same time again

JohnnyRock · 10-31-2003, 10:52 AM

Well, they are a big team and VinnieMac has always loved the big guys regardless of their workrate...so I'd put them going over--although I've heard that Cena and Benoit turns may come before then throwing the whole thing for a loop...

Prophecy · 10-31-2003, 08:15 PM

Yea, but size isn't everything. Big Slow looks like he's about to pass out in half of his matches though, he has looked better lately though. The Rock had the Big Show's character dead on when did his impersation way back when.

And I'm not sure why but I just don't like Brock, I didn't like him when he was a face and I don't like him now. And I don't like him in the way Meanspleen doesn't like Big Show, I see Brock, the station gets changed.

As for the rest of the "Big" guys what have they done to deserve a match in the main event at survior series anyway? There are plenty of other mid-cards that should be there instead.

Lastly, what happened to Sean O'Haire?

meanSpleen · 10-31-2003, 11:56 PM

OHaire is a Smackdown player. He's just not being written into any storylines because the writers have no idea what to do with him. Originally, (after the "but I'm not telling you" idea), he was to be Roddy Pipers protege. As we all know, that fell through the pavement. Oh yeah, and he's former WCW. The "other" Jeff Hardy. What? Yes. He uses the Seanton Bomb as a finisher.

Big Guys. They get massive pushes because, as JohnnyRock said, VinnieMac loves them. Supposedly, they look better on camera because they are "Bigger than Life!". Right. Its nice to see guys doing their job. But its even better when we get to see guys that do it better than them.

Deserving a Match at survivor series - well, one, its a survivor series match. Lets face it, its not really the top match format on anyones list (unless you are into what is basically a 10 man tag tournament that gets turned into a 3v5, 3v1 then 1v1 match). I'm going out on a line to say that there are NO outstanding survior series elimination matchs except for the Hart's. Where Owen turned heel. Its really a step down for a lot of guys, in my mind. It means that they cannot hold a crowd on their own anymore.

Pushes: Big guys get them. Two of them are getting huge ones at SSeries. Why? Who knows. Lets just hope they aren't as bad as we think they will be.

=====

Spleens Championship Match Preference (Brands consolidated); ranked favorite, to least liked.

1) Tag Titles
2) Tied: Cruiserweight and US/Intercontinental
3) World Heavyweight
4) Womans

These are ranked solely on GOOD Championship matches. This has no sway on who is what, and where. (aka, all the midcard guys that don't get a chance). I would rather see a good tag team championship match than a good world heavyweight title match.

Prophecy · 11-03-2003, 11:06 AM

I just released this is the biggest thread in the Entertainment forum, props for us

That aside, several of you guys mentioned the new Smackdown game for the PS2, anyone have it?

Lastly, the main event on Raw tonight is Mark Henry vs. HBK. What ever happened to HBK's back injury? Wouldn't a match with someone like Mark Henry's character who's main moves require tossing someone around the ring onto his back be bad idea here?

Spleen I agree with Champion Match Preference list, but I'd put any men's match before the women's matches even if the men's match is non-title. The women are great to look at, but the matches themselves can be pretty hard to watch.

Nah, that's kinda like the neck injury situation w/ many superstars in WWE I think, once it's healed and all it may be weaker but it's nothing they cant handle. If they couldent handle it they wouldent be doing it.

Spleen I agree with Champion Match Preference list, but I'd put any men's match before the women's matches even if the men's match is non-title. The women are great to look at, but the matches themselves can be pretty hard to watch.

I completely agree, women's matches do not reflect their looks, to say the least. In other words, they may look good, but their matches dont.

So, this John Heidenreich guy on Raw keeps mentioning his Little Johnny. Any bets on whether or not that refers to his penis? I mean, knowing Vince....
Anybody have anything on the rumors about Matt Hardy being traded to Raw? He could walk into a program with Christian and put on some killer matches and would make an ideal IC champion. It's a shame all they want to let him do on Smackdown recently is beat on crippled kids.

Prophecy · 11-04-2003, 08:24 PM

I figure Little Johnny is his kid. I know it sounds like something else but that's what the WWE likes to do.

He's probably talking about some cruiserweight, or a midget. ;D

As for VEE-ONE-NAHHHHHH, yeah, i heard the rumors too. I figure its common knowledge that Lita and Matt are together, so this Christian thing couldn't have come at a better time. I mean, the guy is practically rubbing himself all over Lita. So V1 gets to play knight in shining armor and whup some sense into Christian.

I am a Mattitude follower first, then a Peep.

Well, it is on WWE.com. But since I never go there, I'll give you the link to where I did find it. http://www.steveswrestling.com/news/2407.html

Steves is my main wrestling news source. Mainly a consolidation of all the other sites (pwtorch, 1wrestling...) into bite size chunks. If I want to know more about something, I'll go to those sites. Otherwise I stick with steves.

Hey, I missed the last half of Smackdown last night. (intentionally I might add)

Was the VinnieMac "I'm the son of God" promo that whacked up as I've been reading about?

JohnnyRock · 11-08-2003, 06:29 AM

Thanks...not sure about smackdown either [blew it off] but it soure sounds it from what I've been hearing and reading...

meanSpleen · 11-10-2003, 07:57 PM

Its that time of the month again... ITS NOT MY PERIOD.

Its PPV time! and that means, you get to read my guesses at who will win at Survivor Series, 2003!!!

=====

Survivor Series Match:
Team Austin vs. Team Bischoff.
Okay, I'll be blunt. I'm not looking forward to this match. Austins team will win, he'll be able to beat the crap outta anyone he wants, and thats that.
Winner: Team Austin when Booker T gives the Bookend to Christian and the pin.

Team Angle vs. Team Lesnar.
Now this one should be interesting. Team Lesnar, even though it has 2 of the most useless bags of crap on it (a-train, big shmo), it has 2 pretty much unknown talent. Sure, we all know nathan jones, but now he's back with muscular definition and no Undertaker!! On Angles side, we get to see John Cena as the newest Babyface to grace your screen, a new and improved (albeit pissyer) Hardcore Holly, Angle and Benoit. This should be a very intense match, between POWER and (a good amount of) TECHNIQUE.

Winner: Team Angle. Hardcore Holly, who has been eliminated, returns to the ring and (behind the ref's back) causes Angle to pin Lesnar. Both Angle and Lesnar are unconscious.

-----

Goldberg vs. HHH for the Worlds Title.

I don't care. Winner: Goldberg.

-----

Undertaker vs. VinnieMac - Buried Alive.

Hmm.. I'm actually going to side with VinnieMac on this one. He will cheat, of course, and Undertaker gets buried.

Winner: VinnieMac.
BUT - Since Undertake will "die", he will return as the TRUE phenom and be the cool and neato Goth Undertaker again. No more of this Biker bull-crap. Anyone remember Skull and 8-Ball? They lasted about as long as Savio Vegas stable (whom they were 'feuding' with)

-----

Ambulance Match - Kane vs. ShaneoMac.
Oddly, I don't care about this one either... this must be a trend. I don't give a poop about any of the Raw matches.

Winner: ShaneoMac. And end storyline. Please.

-----

Taijiri vs. Jaime "BY GOD" Noble for the cruiserweight title.

Ehh... I'm rooting for Noble to win this one. It would be good to see him as the champ again.

WInner: Jaime Noble. REVENGE!!!!

-----

Molly Holly vs Lita for the womens title.

Wow, the only interesting RAW brand match. Sorta. Molly wins, and teaches Lita a lesson by straping on a dil.... straping on the belt and leaving the ring.

Winner: Molly.

----

And thats all the matches that I am aware of! No Test vs. Steiner!

This would be utterly amazing if this happens. But of course I can see Stephanie M. coming back during this match and causing VinnieMac to lose and get buried. Hence the "Biker Taker" stays.

JohnnyRock · 11-11-2003, 09:45 AM

Quote:

I have to agree with you on this one. I actually fell asleep about 20 minute into the show last night--first time that's happened in...ever. Raw needs a shake-up [unless I missed it last night, which I doubt!]

rockzilla · 11-11-2003, 10:36 AM

You didn't miss anything special. Just a bunch of matches between members of Team Austin and Team Bischoff. I think Randy Orton is going to cost Team Bischoff the SS match, he hasn't been getting along with the rest of the team, and it might set off a rumored Orton/HHH feud. Either that or Jericho will win it for Team Bischoff, setting up Jericho/Austin at WMXX. Somebody big needs to put Jericho over at Wrestlemania so that he has a chance of getting out of the midcard. Shawn Michaels should have done it last year, but he didn't.

DownwardSpiral · 11-11-2003, 07:05 PM

Also time for DownwardSpiral's Survivor Series 2003 predictions!

Team Bischoff vs. Team Austin

This is obvious, I think. Austin's team all the way. He won't be activly wresling anytime soon, and he's not the type to work backstage off the scene, so his team will win, and Coach will get his ass kicked (finally.)

Winner: Team Austin

Team Angle vs. Team Lesnar

Team Angle is gonna take this I think. They have been getting beat on the past 2-3 weeks or so on SmackDown! So they're due for some revenge.

Winner: Team Angle

Buried Alive: Undertaker vs. Vince McMahon

Rumor has it that 'Taker will lose, and then come back later as his old 'Lord of Darkness' gimmick. But keep in mind that this rumor has been stated before, so no telling if it's gonna happen. I'm gonna have to go with 'Taker on this one though, I just can't think he would drop a match to Vince McMahon, but you never know.

Winner: Undertaker

Molly Holly vs. Lita (Women's Championship)

Lita is gonna take this one I believe.

Winner: Lita; New Women's Champion

Jamie Noble vs. Tajiri (Cruiserweight Championship)

I'm going with Tajiri on this one too, rumor also has it that Vince is happy with Tajiri, safe to say he's in a better position than Rhyno.

Winner: Tajiri; retains Cruiserweight Championship

Ambulance Match: Shane McMahon vs. Kane

Shane will pull this one out of his ass somehow, almost a given there.

Winner: Shane McMahon

Goldberg vs. Triple H (World Heavyweight Championship)

Goldberg will win. He hasn't been Champ long enough yet. Gonna take Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and a taser gun again! (Had to bring back an old WCW memory lol)

Winner: Goldberg; retains World Championship

There you have it, my predictions! Watch as I am off on all of them!

Until we meet again. . .

BTW, anyone else hear that rumor about WWE oficias being upset by the increasing amount of superstars having big tattoos on their bodies? Lol, found it odd, maybe you will too.

Although it may be a losing battle (for them), as RVD usually doesn't gloss anything over in his interviews. He says what he says, and we all get the impression that he would be happier elsewhere. But theres a lot to be said about more money. __________________ Like TFP? Donate To Keep It Alive!!

BigGov WoW or Class... Location: UWW	RVD doesn't really like the WWF/E, however, there is no other major promotion, except for NWA-TNA, which isn't exactly the best alternative. __________________ One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"

meanSpleen Squid hat! Location: A Few Miles Away From Halx	There is always Japan. Zero One, All Japan, heck just choose one, and he'll be loved to pieces. ===== Anyone remember Matt Morgan? It took me a few minutes, but I finally remembered him from Tough Enough! Man, that guy was huge back then (built like linebacker) but now he's looking like Chuck Palumbo. I wish he'd shave that beard though... __________________ Like TFP? Donate To Keep It Alive!!

Prophecy Oracle & Apollyon Location: Limbus Patrum	So RVD's in contract negotiations, I hope everything works out for the best. If he leaves who else is a real risk taker in the WWE besides Shane and Christian?(Only every now and then.) Speaking of huge how do you guys feel about Brock Lesnar's team for Survior Series? That seems like a tall number to tackle mainly b/c Brock doesn't lose since he's became a heel and Big Slow is well, just big... Of course I'd love to see The Crippler and Kurt put on their submission finishers at the same time again __________________ La Disciplina È La Mia Spada, La Fede È Il Mio Schermo, Non salti Ciecamente In Incertezza, E Potete Raccogliere Le Ricompense.

JohnnyRock Addict Location: Taxachussetts	Well, they are a big team and VinnieMac has always loved the big guys regardless of their workrate...so I'd put them going over--although I've heard that Cena and Benoit turns may come before then throwing the whole thing for a loop... __________________ Not only do I not know the answer...I don't even know what the question is!!!

Prophecy Oracle & Apollyon Location: Limbus Patrum	Yea, but size isn't everything. Big Slow looks like he's about to pass out in half of his matches though, he has looked better lately though. The Rock had the Big Show's character dead on when did his impersation way back when. And I'm not sure why but I just don't like Brock, I didn't like him when he was a face and I don't like him now. And I don't like him in the way Meanspleen doesn't like Big Show, I see Brock, the station gets changed. As for the rest of the "Big" guys what have they done to deserve a match in the main event at survior series anyway? There are plenty of other mid-cards that should be there instead. Lastly, what happened to Sean O'Haire? __________________ La Disciplina È La Mia Spada, La Fede È Il Mio Schermo, Non salti Ciecamente In Incertezza, E Potete Raccogliere Le Ricompense.

meanSpleen Squid hat! Location: A Few Miles Away From Halx	OHaire is a Smackdown player. He's just not being written into any storylines because the writers have no idea what to do with him. Originally, (after the "but I'm not telling you" idea), he was to be Roddy Pipers protege. As we all know, that fell through the pavement. Oh yeah, and he's former WCW. The "other" Jeff Hardy. What? Yes. He uses the Seanton Bomb as a finisher. Big Guys. They get massive pushes because, as JohnnyRock said, VinnieMac loves them. Supposedly, they look better on camera because they are "Bigger than Life!". Right. Its nice to see guys doing their job. But its even better when we get to see guys that do it better than them. Deserving a Match at survivor series - well, one, its a survivor series match. Lets face it, its not really the top match format on anyones list (unless you are into what is basically a 10 man tag tournament that gets turned into a 3v5, 3v1 then 1v1 match). I'm going out on a line to say that there are NO outstanding survior series elimination matchs except for the Hart's. Where Owen turned heel. Its really a step down for a lot of guys, in my mind. It means that they cannot hold a crowd on their own anymore. Pushes: Big guys get them. Two of them are getting huge ones at SSeries. Why? Who knows. Lets just hope they aren't as bad as we think they will be. ===== Spleens Championship Match Preference (Brands consolidated); ranked favorite, to least liked. 1) Tag Titles 2) Tied: Cruiserweight and US/Intercontinental 3) World Heavyweight 4) Womans These are ranked solely on GOOD Championship matches. This has no sway on who is what, and where. (aka, all the midcard guys that don't get a chance). I would rather see a good tag team championship match than a good world heavyweight title match. __________________ Like TFP? Donate To Keep It Alive!!

Prophecy Oracle & Apollyon Location: Limbus Patrum	I just released this is the biggest thread in the Entertainment forum, props for us That aside, several of you guys mentioned the new Smackdown game for the PS2, anyone have it? Lastly, the main event on Raw tonight is Mark Henry vs. HBK. What ever happened to HBK's back injury? Wouldn't a match with someone like Mark Henry's character who's main moves require tossing someone around the ring onto his back be bad idea here? Spleen I agree with Champion Match Preference list, but I'd put any men's match before the women's matches even if the men's match is non-title. The women are great to look at, but the matches themselves can be pretty hard to watch. __________________ La Disciplina È La Mia Spada, La Fede È Il Mio Schermo, Non salti Ciecamente In Incertezza, E Potete Raccogliere Le Ricompense.

rockzilla Junkie Location: The Kitchen	So, this John Heidenreich guy on Raw keeps mentioning his Little Johnny. Any bets on whether or not that refers to his penis? I mean, knowing Vince.... Anybody have anything on the rumors about Matt Hardy being traded to Raw? He could walk into a program with Christian and put on some killer matches and would make an ideal IC champion. It's a shame all they want to let him do on Smackdown recently is beat on crippled kids.

Prophecy Oracle & Apollyon Location: Limbus Patrum	I figure Little Johnny is his kid. I know it sounds like something else but that's what the WWE likes to do. __________________ La Disciplina È La Mia Spada, La Fede È Il Mio Schermo, Non salti Ciecamente In Incertezza, E Potete Raccogliere Le Ricompense.

meanSpleen Squid hat! Location: A Few Miles Away From Halx	Well, it is on WWE.com. But since I never go there, I'll give you the link to where I did find it. http://www.steveswrestling.com/news/2407.html Steves is my main wrestling news source. Mainly a consolidation of all the other sites (pwtorch, 1wrestling...) into bite size chunks. If I want to know more about something, I'll go to those sites. Otherwise I stick with steves. ------ Hey, I missed the last half of Smackdown last night. (intentionally I might add) Was the VinnieMac "I'm the son of God" promo that whacked up as I've been reading about? __________________ Like TFP? Donate To Keep It Alive!!

meanSpleen Squid hat! Location: A Few Miles Away From Halx	Its that time of the month again... ITS NOT MY PERIOD. Its PPV time! and that means, you get to read my guesses at who will win at Survivor Series, 2003!!! ===== Survivor Series Match: Team Austin vs. Team Bischoff. Okay, I'll be blunt. I'm not looking forward to this match. Austins team will win, he'll be able to beat the crap outta anyone he wants, and thats that. Winner: Team Austin when Booker T gives the Bookend to Christian and the pin. Team Angle vs. Team Lesnar. Now this one should be interesting. Team Lesnar, even though it has 2 of the most useless bags of crap on it (a-train, big shmo), it has 2 pretty much unknown talent. Sure, we all know nathan jones, but now he's back with muscular definition and no Undertaker!! On Angles side, we get to see John Cena as the newest Babyface to grace your screen, a new and improved (albeit pissyer) Hardcore Holly, Angle and Benoit. This should be a very intense match, between POWER and (a good amount of) TECHNIQUE. Winner: Team Angle. Hardcore Holly, who has been eliminated, returns to the ring and (behind the ref's back) causes Angle to pin Lesnar. Both Angle and Lesnar are unconscious. ----- Goldberg vs. HHH for the Worlds Title. I don't care. Winner: Goldberg. ----- Undertaker vs. VinnieMac - Buried Alive. Hmm.. I'm actually going to side with VinnieMac on this one. He will cheat, of course, and Undertaker gets buried. Winner: VinnieMac. BUT - Since Undertake will "die", he will return as the TRUE phenom and be the cool and neato Goth Undertaker again. No more of this Biker bull-crap. Anyone remember Skull and 8-Ball? They lasted about as long as Savio Vegas stable (whom they were 'feuding' with) ----- Ambulance Match - Kane vs. ShaneoMac. Oddly, I don't care about this one either... this must be a trend. I don't give a poop about any of the Raw matches. Winner: ShaneoMac. And end storyline. Please. ----- Taijiri vs. Jaime "BY GOD" Noble for the cruiserweight title. Ehh... I'm rooting for Noble to win this one. It would be good to see him as the champ again. WInner: Jaime Noble. REVENGE!!!! ----- Molly Holly vs Lita for the womens title. Wow, the only interesting RAW brand match. Sorta. Molly wins, and teaches Lita a lesson by straping on a dil.... straping on the belt and leaving the ring. Winner: Molly. ---- And thats all the matches that I am aware of! No Test vs. Steiner! __________________ Like TFP? Donate To Keep It Alive!!

rockzilla Junkie Location: The Kitchen	You didn't miss anything special. Just a bunch of matches between members of Team Austin and Team Bischoff. I think Randy Orton is going to cost Team Bischoff the SS match, he hasn't been getting along with the rest of the team, and it might set off a rumored Orton/HHH feud. Either that or Jericho will win it for Team Bischoff, setting up Jericho/Austin at WMXX. Somebody big needs to put Jericho over at Wrestlemania so that he has a chance of getting out of the midcard. Shawn Michaels should have done it last year, but he didn't.

DownwardSpiral The Funeral of Hearts Location: Trapped inside my mind. . .	Also time for DownwardSpiral's Survivor Series 2003 predictions! Team Bischoff vs. Team Austin This is obvious, I think. Austin's team all the way. He won't be activly wresling anytime soon, and he's not the type to work backstage off the scene, so his team will win, and Coach will get his ass kicked (finally.) Winner: Team Austin Team Angle vs. Team Lesnar Team Angle is gonna take this I think. They have been getting beat on the past 2-3 weeks or so on SmackDown! So they're due for some revenge. Winner: Team Angle Buried Alive: Undertaker vs. Vince McMahon Rumor has it that 'Taker will lose, and then come back later as his old 'Lord of Darkness' gimmick. But keep in mind that this rumor has been stated before, so no telling if it's gonna happen. I'm gonna have to go with 'Taker on this one though, I just can't think he would drop a match to Vince McMahon, but you never know. Winner: Undertaker Molly Holly vs. Lita (Women's Championship) Lita is gonna take this one I believe. Winner: Lita; New Women's Champion Jamie Noble vs. Tajiri (Cruiserweight Championship) I'm going with Tajiri on this one too, rumor also has it that Vince is happy with Tajiri, safe to say he's in a better position than Rhyno. Winner: Tajiri; retains Cruiserweight Championship Ambulance Match: Shane McMahon vs. Kane Shane will pull this one out of his ass somehow, almost a given there. Winner: Shane McMahon Goldberg vs. Triple H (World Heavyweight Championship) Goldberg will win. He hasn't been Champ long enough yet. Gonna take Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and a taser gun again! (Had to bring back an old WCW memory lol) Winner: Goldberg; retains World Championship There you have it, my predictions! Watch as I am off on all of them! Until we meet again. . . BTW, anyone else hear that rumor about WWE oficias being upset by the increasing amount of superstars having big tattoos on their bodies? Lol, found it odd, maybe you will too. __________________ "So Keep on Pretending. Our Heavens Worth the Waiting. Keep on Pretending. It's Alright." -- H.I.M., "Pretending"
