The Hype Wrestling Predictions League: Bragging Rights

[the_ultimate_evil]

Rules:
1. Anyone can take part, whether you participated in previous seasons, or previous rounds of this season, or not.
2. Leave your predictions of who you think will win each match as replies to this post.
3. You do not have to predict how the match will be won (e.g.: pinfall/submission/DQ etc.) although you can add it if you wish.
4. You can predict the match will finish in a draw/ no contest if you wish. NB: If the match is cancelled it will be considered a no contest. (Matches where a wrestler forfeits still count though.)
5. Replies must be posted prior to the start of the event.
6. Matches added after I post the starting thread for each PPV do not count for the predictions league - matches that take place on Heat, dark matches, etc. do not count either. Exceptions may be made if I miss something out of the original post.
7. Play fair - no editing of predictions after/during the PPV.
8. Points system is below.
9. Our decision is final.

Point System:
1 pt for every correct prediction
+2pts if it is a title match
+2pts if it is the main event (defined for the sake of argument as the final match to take place on the card)
+3pts if the match contains more than 4 people (e.g.: 6-man tag matches, Royal Rumble etc.)
+5pts if you correctly predict the result of every match on the card

[Lunar_Wolf]

1 Randy Orton (c) vs. Wade Barrett (with John Cena)

I can't see Wade as Champion. It's too early, BUT, if Cena turns heel, Wade takes the belt, two guys from NXT season 2 join Nexus, then it'll work for me. This would make NEXUS looks BIG.

2 Team SmackDown (Big Show (captain), Rey Mysterio, Jack Swagger, Alberto Del Rio, Edge, Tyler Reks and Kofi Kingston (with Hornswoggle (mascot))) vs. Team Raw (The Miz (captain), R-Truth, John Morrison, Santino Marella, Sheamus, CM Punk and Ezekiel Jackson)

Team Smackdown will get this. The show just moved to Sci-Fi, so how do you get kids to turn over and start watching? Make it seem as if Smackdown is better, that they have winners, not losers.

3 Team Lay-Cool (Layla or Michelle McCool) (c) vs. Natalya
I think Natalya will get this.

4 Kane (c) (with Paul Bearer) vs. The Undertaker
Undertaker looses, takes time off for Royal Rumble.

5 Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler

There seems to be a push for DB right now, so I'd say he'll pick it up.

Ziggler/Bryan could be match of the night. Looking forward to Orton/Barrett as well.

Agreed, I dont think they will get enough time though. After watching smackdown team raw surely has to win. (even if its by cheating)

4 Kane (c) (with Paul Bearer) vs. The Undertaker

5 Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler

EDIT: I keep going back and forth on some of these matches. I think Taker will get time off for more injuries, and I get the feeling that Barrett and Natalya have better chances of winning by DQ, with Cena accidentally costing Barrett the title, but still getting him the win.

I don't see how Raw can lose after being shown to look so much weaker in the last few weeks.

I can't imagine WWE giving Barrett the title just yet. Maybe Cena will cost him somehow.

Buried alive could go either way but my gut says Kanes reign will be a bit longer although I have a feeling Vince may try to swerve us here.

The Divas match is a tough one since you'd think they'd try to build up Laycool for Beth to take on when she comes back. But since its Natalya facing the weaker member in Layla I'll take a chance here and say Natalya will win the match even if she doesn't necesarrily win the title.

As for the US vs IC title match I'll go out on a limb and say Bryan. It could go either way but I feel like Bryan needs the win more and a loss would hurt Ziggler less.

Orton (might be too soon for barret but that doesnt mean anything, i think cena will pull an hbk)
Team Raw (i want to see miz get the the win )
Natalya (i hope)
Kane ( hard to imagine undertaker losing third time but taker might be taking time off and edge could feud with kane in meantime)
Daniel Bryan (could go either way)

I wonder what boring surprise match they'll add to the card like they usually do? i don't think Rhodes and McIntyre are doing anything.

 

[Metallo]

It was just announced via Twitter that Ted DiBiase (with Maryse) vs Goldust (with Aksana) has been added to tonight's WWE Bragging Rights PPV.

I take it back. It might be an ok match.

 

[Mr.Webs]

3 Team Lay-Cool (Layla or Michelle McCool) (c) vs. Natalya
4 Kane (c) (with Paul Bearer) vs. The Undertaker
5 Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler

And I think Goldust will win their match.
