Return + GrzeTim Books...WWE Vengeance
I'm back after a little break. One Night Stand and the weeks after it saw me get upset at the handling of the WWE Title. The lack of respect for it by RVD was terrible. He's keeping it because "it spins". Please. It's like taking a dump on all the stars that MADE professional wrestling and without the WWF / WWE Title there NEVER would have been an ECW as it is know and RVD would be back in Battle Creek going "Dude, do you want fries with that?". Ok, end rant.
The PPV for tonight looks good, let's get to it:
GrzeTim Books...WWE Vengeance
Match 1 - Eugene vs. Umaga – While I think it’s a mistake to open with this match; I wouldn’t put it anywhere else because it’ll kill the crowd. I would like to see Eugene get the win here via some new “tutor” or some outside interference, but Umaga is being built up for something, who knows what, but something. All we can hope for is a quick match.
Winner – Umaga
Match 2 - Mick Foley vs. Ric Flair – 2 out of 3 falls – This match worries me because of how they are promoting it. Foley was talking on Monday about how it was going to be a stinker so he could embarrass Flair in Charlotte. I know Foley isn’t a great matt wrestler, but this could still be salvageable. I look for Foley to win the first fall with a backslide or something using the ropes. Flair will win the 2nd fall in the same manner. The final fall will most likely be Foley tapping to the Figure Four.
Winner in 3 falls – Ric Flair
Match 3 - Intercontinental Championship Triple Threat Match – Shelton Benjamin(c) vs. Johnny Nitro vs. Carlito – This and the match between Angle and Orton could steal the show. All three of these guys are hungry and very good at what they do. I look for some great spots between Shelton and Carlito and with Nitro in the mix, this could be something special. I look for Nitro to get the win over Carlito. This will setup some nice rematches in the future between all these guys.
Winner and NEW Intercontinental Champ – Johnny Nitro
Match 4 - John Cena vs. Sabu (Extreme Lumberjack Match) - This match will be interesting just for the fact of how they are booking Cena with ECW. I thought the segment where he proposed the match was great. The ECW guys seemed both shocked Cena would walk into their arena and also that he would call them all out tonight. They seemed to respect it. In the end, that is what I think this is about, respect. I don’t see Cena getting the win, but I do see him giving Sabu a great fight…enough that the ECW guys will finally respect him, including Heyman.
Winner – Sabu
Match 5 - Kane vs. "Impostor Kane" – I have no idea where they are heading with this, but I have liked the way they built it up. Kane is afraid of this man, and the only person Kane has feared is Undertaker. I don’t think it’s Taker, but I think it’s someone from his past, maybe another half brother from Paul Bearer and a different woman (not Taker and Kane’s mom). It could also be the true killer of Taker and Kane’s mother and step-father. We will see, or maybe we won’t till Monday. I still have to make a pick:
Winner - “Imposter Kane”
Match 6 - Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton – Like I said earlier, this could be the match of the night if it’s given time. These two had a decent match at One Night Stand, but it felt too rushed. Give them a solid 15-20 minutes and you have a match of the year candidate. I look for Orton to get the win back and setup for a rubber match in the future.
Winner – Randy Orton
Match 7 - WWE Championship - Rob Van Dam(c) vs. Edge – While I never like booking the title match below something else, the crowd will not go home happy on this one. I think Edge will win this for two reasons:
1. If RVD retains, then without someone coming to ECW and beating him for it or him coming to Raw, the next time there is a Raw PPV is SummerSlam. I don’t see Raw being without a main title that long.
2. You need to start establishing the ECW Title again. RVD can’t do that if he’s on Raw too.
For those reasons, I see Edge becoming a two time WWE Champ tonight. It’s also a good place to be with the title on an established heel that can be chased all summer up to SummerSlam.
Winner and NEW WWE Champion - Edge
Match 8 - D-Generation X vs. Spirit Squad - Most people consider this result a no brainer, but I beg to differ. One side is Triple H and Shawn Michaels and while that is a formidable team on the other side you have not just the Spirit Squad, but the McMahons. They should NEVER be underestimated or forgotten about. Still, I would be surprised if DX doesn’t get the win tonight. I also don’t see ANY new or old members of DX showing up. I don’t think it’ll happen tonight or ever. I look for Michaels to be the face in peril for most of the match. He then gets the tag to Triple H and they clean house. The finish is either a botched attempt by Vince and Shane to interfere or a tandem Pedigree and Sweet Chin Music.
Winners – D-Generation X
That will do it. Enjoy the PPV and I’ll be back.

GrzeTim Books...ECW One Night Stand 2
Tonight is ECW One Night Stand 2 and it’s shaping up to be an interesting show. Let’s get to the picks:
I’m not even going to try and predict an order to the matches since I expect there to be unannounced matches, so I’ll work with what they gave me:
Tazz vs. Jerry Lawler – I like both guys but this will be hard to watch. I hope Tazz will go back to doing commentary with Joey after this or maybe manage. Anyway, I see Tazz getting the win with the Tazzmission after a short match.
Winner - Tazz
The FBI vs. Super Crazy & Tajiri – This is actually one I’m looking forward to. I love watching Tajiri wrestle and with Super Crazy, it’ll be something to see what double team madness they can come up with. I’m picking Crazy and Tajiri to pull this one out (and I hope to see at least one mist tonight by Tajiri).
Winners – Super Crazy and Tajiri
Mick Foley & Edge vs. Tommy Dreamer & Terry Funk – This match will be the only sure blood bath of the night. All four of these guys are nuts and will do ANYTHING. I just hope all four come out without any major injury. I’m hoping this match will be for the Hardcore Title, because that plays into my theories about later on in the show.
Winners and NEW co-Hardcore Champions – Tommy Dreamer & Terry Funk
Balls Mahoney vs. Masato Tanaka - Sadly, I have never seen Balls wrestle and the first full match of Tanaka’s I have seen was last One Night Stand with Mike Awesome. I would GUESS that Tanaka will get his win back from last year.
Winner – Masato Tanaka
Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton – This one could be a clinic. I see Kurt playing the face in peril for a while and then coming back to make Orton tap out. I am afraid of what Kurt could be thinking of doing tonight based on how badly he wants to get ECW over. I just hope he remembers this will be a marathon not a sprint to sell ECW to the WWE faithful who were groomed to “hate” WCW and ECW as the “enemy” in years past.
Winner – Kurt Angle
Now, here is where things get dicey and I am going to get flak from some for it:
World Championship - Rey Mysterio(c) vs. Sabu – Considering that both these guys have mostly ariel offence, they will have to be careful how they book this so it doesn’t become just a high spot fest. I don’t see Vince giving either title to ECW (also, see my notes about the WWE Title Match).
Winner and STILL World Champion – Rey Mysterio
WWE Championship - John Cena(c) vs. Rob Van Dam – Now here it the tough one. I do NOT see Vince giving Heyman even the storyline victory of destroying the history of the WWE Title, which was the WWF Title. It would be killing the history of that title, a title that Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Undertaker, Triple H, Chris Jericho, and many many others help build. I also think it would turn classic WWE / WWF fans off from the ECW brand. So, how to keep the belt on Cena without killing RVD…here’s how I would do it:
The match will be something special, with each guy taking the other’s best shots and still coming back. In the end, RVD will hit a move on Cena and knock him out. RVD will then look to the crowd and go to the top to hit the Frog Splash. As he is about to jump, Lita comes down and pushes RVD off the top. Cena starts to come to and stumbles up. RVD starts to recover from getting pushed off the top rope and walks into a FU attempt by Cena that RVD counters into a DDT or some other move. Edge hits the ring and coils in the corner ready to strike. He rushes out of the corner and spears…RVD. He then places Cena on RVD. 1…2…3. Cena retains.
The reason for this? As Edge will tell us on Monday, he is the #1 contender for the WWE Title at Vengeance in a few weeks and he’ll be damned if he’ll lose his chance to get the title back cause Cena lost the title in a “bingo hall” to an “ECW chump”.
Flash forward to Vengeance…Edge has Cena beat and is waiting for Cena to get up so he can hit the spear. Cena dodges the spear, Edge hits the ref on accident, and then walks into a FU but Cena is unable to make the cover and falls over. From the crowd, RVD comes out and jumps to the top rope. He looks over his targets, shrugs, and jumps…OVER the prone Cena and hits Edge. He then places Cena on Edge. 1…2…3. Cena retains.
The next night on Raw, Edge is pissed at RVD and promises to get revenge on RVD. He’ll be at ECW’s show Tuesday night! This also moves Edge and Lita over to ECW.
Feud commences and all is well in the world.
Winner and STILL WWE Champion – John Cena
Well, that is what I see happening tonight. I’ll be back next week with the results and my thoughts.
Take care.

Return
I can't believe I fell behind again... The biggest thing to happen over the past few weeks was asking Kathy to marry me on May 18th. Last year around her birthday, I had promised I would ask before her next birthday (May 19th). I cut it pretty close, huh? Of course, she said yes and we've already set a date: Saturday, October 13th, 2007. Why so far off you ask? Kathy wants to have a fall wedding in October and this October would be WAY too close to try and get everything ready. Also, one of our friends won’t be coming back from Thailand until this Fall, and that's just too close to risk. So I am now made her an "honest woman" as she used to put it. :)
I'm going to work on an ECW One Night Stand predictions post and have it up before I go to my folks to watch the PPV. This one is always hard to predict since they never let us know all the matches.
