This is presumably going to be Mark Henry's only title reign, so I really do hope he keeps it til WM. I can't think of anyone on SD who make for a more entertaining champion in the time being. Other main eventers like Orton are boring with the title, and the upper-midcarders (I'm thinking Rhodes, Barrett and Sheamus are future WHCs, I know Sheamus has been WWE champ but it was way too early for him) aren't ready.

Well, ok Christian would be a fun champ, if they got him out of the whiny gimmick they've got him in. If he must be heel, at least give him back the cocky heel role he used to have and was much better at.
 
That's right, SS is tonight...so it's prediction time!

Predictions

United States Championship - Dolph Ziggler vs John Morrison
Ziggler. Part of me thinks this'll become a Triple Threat with Ryder. Who knows.

Diva's Championship - Eve Torres vs Beth Phoenix
Beth. Though I could care less at this point...sigh.

Survivor Series Match - Team Barrett vs Team Orton
Team Barrett. It's too easy to say Orton's team would win.

World Heavyweight Championship - Mark Henry vs Big Show
Mizark. Gotta keep the push train going, right? Then he can reintroduce Big Slow back to the Hall of Pain.

WWE Championship - CM Punk vs Alberto Del Rio
Punk. Barring shenanigans, I'm confident Punk can pull out a win with the Anaconda Vice.

Tag Team Match - Awesome Truth vs John Cena & The Rock
I'm gonna go with Awesome Truth, despite all evidence to the contrary. I fully expect shenanigans.

All Stars was new. WWE 12 is still based an old engine that was first created two decades ago. TWO DECADES

Yup. That's pretty friggin' bad. It like how lots of businesses still run Windows XP or COBOL. WinXP is just now turning 10 years old, and COBOL has been around since 1959. That's over 50 years old! And yet, many businesses stick with it because it works. (Which can't be said about the WWE games.)

Divas Champion Beth Phoenix vs. Eve (Lumberjill Match)
 
So currently we have:
  • 'The Rattle snake' Stone Cold Steve Austin
  • 'The Viper' Randy Orton

Are WE going to get the birth of 'The Anaconda' CM Punk.

And WWE loves the use of snakes.

Vince loves his animal names, I'm kind of amazed they don't have an animal name for Cena.
 
Wish I still had a wrestling group IRL, would love to see Rock's first match back. 45/55 for three hours of entertainment for one guy is insane, they'd have to send one of the Divas to watch the show with me.
 
John Cena & The Rock vs. The Miz & R-Truth
You're a fool if you think that Miz and R-Truth are going to win this. The only way they wouldn't is if The Rock and Cena screwed each other over some how.


WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio vs. CM Punk
Del Rio so far has been a pretty lacklustre champion. I think they should give it back to Punk to set up Cena vs. Punk at RR :(


World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry vs. Big Show
Mark Henry is just too damn awesome.


Team Orton vs. Team Barrett
I want Barrett's team to win (Why is it Team Barrett and not Team Rhodes?). But, 5 RKOs out of nowhere when Orton is the last man standing will probably be the finisher.


United States Champion Dolph Ziggler vs. John Morrison
Write in: Zack Ryder

I think he'll get his chance and win it. It'd be stupid not to do it.


Divas Champion Beth Phoenix vs. Eve (Lumberjill Match)
Beth losing would be very, very stupid.
 
I'll be there tonight. Not sure how it's gonna work with the new setup at MSG, I thought the old one was great.

My bold out of the box prediction: D Brine cashes in tonight!
 
Miz and R-Truth-they will win via rollup after being dominated the entire match due to arguing between Rock and Cena on who gets the pin on Miz and Truth.

CM Punk-Part of me is thinking that they will hold off on giving Punk the title until his rematch next month, but I'm gonna go ahead and say they'll give it to him tonight. Del Rio has been a bad champ.

Mark Henry vs Big Show-WWE likes to ruin good things so I'll go with Big Show.

Ziggler vs Morrison-Ziggler

Beth Phoenix vs Eve-Who's champion? Who cares?

Team Orton vs Team Barrett-Going off of what happened at Smackdown, I'll say Team Barrett wins.

Dark Match-Daniel Bryan vs Drew Mcentyre-Daniel Bryan via labell lock
 
I'm hoping the Miz and Truth win

I'd mark out like crazy if the match is tight the whole way and then the Rock turns on Cena. MSG would erupt if Cena received a Rock Bottom.

I doubt Vince wants it to happen so he can continue pushing this young kid John Cena.
 
Team Orton is going to win. This is where they start their huge Mason Ryan push.

you know it's going to happen. the heels are going to cheat somehow and eliminate Orton, and Mason Ryan's gonna go through like 2 or 3 guys and win the Survivor Series.

Especially since they've been pushing SS as "where new stars get made" for the last few weeks.
 
Maybe Big Show beats Mark Henry, Henry snaps and kills Big Show, and then Bryan comes in and cashes in on Big Show? Yeah right, who am I kidding?
 
John Cena & The Rock vs. The Miz & R-Truth
Alberto Del Rio vs. CM Punk
Mark Henry vs. Big Show
Team Orton vs. Team Barrett
Dolph Ziggler vs. John Morrison
Beth Phoenix vs. Eve

Call me crazy, but I have a feeling The Rock and Cena are going to screw themselves over. For Ziggler vs Morrison, if they decide to include Ryder, then I can see Ryder winning. Wouldn't mind seeing a Ziggler vs Ryder feud. Now back to playing Zelda until SS!
 
Ryder doesnt have a legit feud yet. He will prolly have to wait until Mania to win a title.

Dolph and Del Rio by DQ.
Beth
Henry
Triple H shows up
Rhodes is sole survivor

Divas Champion Beth Phoenix vs. Eve (Lumberjill Match)[/b][/i][/QUOTE]

how the heck does MOrrison have a title shot? when did he even start winning any matches? Why does Big Show have ANOTHER shot at the Championship? When did Orton and Barrett begin feuding to where they have teams?
 
Been having a small blast on TEW2010 again. Its been a while, but its still somewhat decent.

Do you play with real data? I've been trying to convince myself to play again with all the shitty booking going on in WWE, but I lose interest fast. I did enjoy playing the Montreal aftermath mod for a few years before I realized that there's no way in hell I can buy WCW without editing the data and gave up.

Maybe it's me growing old and less imaginative, but tew10 feels stale. I have great memories playing EWR though.

Yeah, the TEW series is getting more and more indepth to the point where it can be a chore to book a show (perhaps that's realistic?!) Playing with real data from October2011 at the moment.

Booking the WWE.
 
I have this feeling about how this angle's going to turn out. I'm going to yell "I FUCKING CALLED IT!" from the rooftops if it does go down like this.

  1. Henry narrowly defeats The Big Show at Survivor Series after taking a beating. He's struggling to get to his feet when Ride of the Valkyries hits. Bryan runs out and cashes in. For a moment, it looks like he might just take the monster down. However, it's just not to be. Bryan's not good enough and Henry takes him out with the World's Strongest Slam.
  2. Cue WrassleGAF burying the angle; "I knew Bryan would be the first to not win the title!", "Vince hates everyone that he didn't make!", "What are you guys so mad about? Bryan's pretty boring anyway. He'll be future endeavoured soon", etc. etc.
  3. Cue the WWE burying Bryan. Cole points out that not only is he a nerd but also a hypocrite. Maybe Bryan wins a few matches, maybe he doesn't - it's all fairly inconsequential.
  4. D. Brine, with a fire lit up under him, wins the Rumble. The WrestleMania match is back on!
  5. You really don't see where I'm going with this?

Could still happen.

Is the community still as active as it was a couple years ago?

Probably half as active. Its been torn in two with the release of the MMA Game, and a few people lost along the way. The games don't change that much between each one, and there's only so much I'd be willing to pay for them (considering to a point they rely on mod work).
 
"During WWE's third quarter conference call with investors on November 3, 2011, CEO Vince McMahon stated the organization would "soon be making a very big announcement" regarding WWE Network plans. He said the company feels confident they "finally turned the corner" on the cable television network's status to make the announcement. Included will be future expenses of $4-6 million for staffing and $10-15 million for additional equipment and construction of their media center to house network operations.

According to a source within WWE's corporate headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, the "very big announcement" is that Wrestlemania 28 will be broadcast live. The cable television network is expected to be launched on April 1, 2012, the day of WrestleMania.

WWE has bought extensive amount of office space in Norwalk and Stamford, Connecticut to employ over 200 employees for the cable television network. They've also spent money on trailers so employees could work on digitizing their vast tape library. WWE has approximately 100,000 hours of footage in their tape library, with 30,000 hours currently digitized. "


Huge if true. People get Wrestlemania free if they buy the network. I guess a smart way for WWE to put pressure on cable providers to provide clearance.

Please DirecTV! PLEASE!
 
It obviously could've been booked a hell of a lot better than it was, but dammit, The Rock is wrestling tonight! I'm excited. Just going to sit back and enjoy it tonight.
 
Smart thing to do would get the network the day before and then cancel the day after. You'll only pay like 30 cents to watch Wrestlemania lol
