Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2004 WWE Championship Eddie Guerrero vs. John Bradshaw Layfield ~ Eddie's going to be blamed for the whole bombing of this angle, so I see JBL winning the crown someway, somehow. WWE Tag Team Championship Charlie Haas & Rico, w/ Miss Jackie vs. Hardcore Holly & Billy Gunn ~ We'll see yet another Tag Team match where there are no actual tag teams. However, since Rico and Haas are getting a push, they'll retain. U.S. Championship John Cena vs. Rene Dupree ~ Rene Dupree will gain the United States title in their second match, becuase I doubt the WWE are ready to have Cena drop the title just yet. Cruiserweight Championship Jacqueline vs. Chavo Guerrero, with Chavo Classic. Chavo will wrestle with one hand tied behind his back. ~ Chavo had better win is all I need to say. Other Matches: The Undertaker, with Paul Bearer vs. Booker T ~ Booker gets squashed, becaues Undertaker is like Dead and apparently death = pin, so that's what it amounts to. The Dudley Boyz vs. Rob Van Dam & Rey Mysterio ~ We saw this one SD and it sucked then. Guess what? Same exact match on PPV. Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie ~ v_v ...and we have our pointless match that'll get 10 perfectly good minutes of time wasted. Or rather this whole PPV is a waste.

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted May 14, 2004 This is a combination of what I think will happen, what I think should happen, and what will keep Smackdown comical. None of this is done in any seriousness so if I get most of them wrong, I don't particularly care. Tag Team Pieces of Tin: Rico/Haas © vs. Peroxide Boys One is a team that has a sort of BookDust Odd Partners deal which is slightly amusing, which is more than I can say about most of Smackdown. The other team consists of two people who are only on TV due to 'loyalty', teaming together because they are absolutely useless as singles wrestlers, and have only had about three matches as a team. Therefore, they win. WINNERS AND NEW CHAMPIONS: Hardcore Holly & Billy Gunn Cruiserweight Piece of Tin: Jacqueline © vs. Chavo Guerrero Why cut this HI-LAR-I-OUS feud short? WINNER AND STILL CHAMPION: Jacqueline Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie Even in mockery there's no way I can bet against TorrieBerg. WINNER: Torrie Rey Mysterio/RVD vs. Dudley Boys Both faces are jobbers. I can't watch the Dudleys anymore. Hence, the Dudleys win. WINNERS: Dudley Boys Mordecai vs. Mystery Opponent WINNER: Mordecai. The big question is who will be his first victim. I say Paul London, so the appropriate people can say "See? They used him on PPV! Happy now?" United States "Title": John Cena © vs. Rene Dupree Did John Cena read Have a Nice Day, especially the passage about not making out your opponent to be a piece of shit in case you might lose, and thus get beaten by a piece of shit? Too late now. It'll be hilarious to see John "I mock gays" Cena try to explain how he lost to the French Flamer. WINNER AND NEW CHAMPION: Rene Dupree Undertaker vs. Booker T I wouldn't bet against Taker either. WINNER: Undertaker And now, la pièce de resistance... WWE Championship: That Dumb Mexican Ex-Con © vs. JBL When Eddie won in February, some of us thought of who he might lose it to down the line. I guarantee that no one seriously thought it would be one-half of the-then stalest team in the fed aside from the Dudleys. Or that he would be the new champ that would get the raw end of the deal. WINNER AND NEW CHAMPION: Justin Hawk Layfield There's Judgment Day for ya, folks! See you at the Great American Bash! As a side note and sort of off-topic, remember how ECW was supposed to start up again "any day now"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2004 WWE Championship Eddie Guerrero vs. John Bradshaw Layfield. Prediction: Eddie. Has to be... WWE Tag Team Championship Charlie Haas & Rico, w/ Miss Jackie vs. Hardcore Holly & Billy Gunn. Prediction: I haven't been watching, but Haas and Rico have been getting over rather well for the gimmick they've been doing, they've got a storyline going on that could go on for a while before the eventual breakup... However, since this is the SD Tag Titles, their heatless, arbitrarily-teamed opponents will win. U.S. Championship John Cena vs. Rene Dupree Prediction: Cena wins in a shitty match. Cruiserweight Championship Jacqueline vs. Chavo Guerrero, with Chavo Classic. Chavo will wrestle with one hand tied behind his back. Prediction: Chavo wins after this pointless, stupid, insulting and damaging angle, if anyone on the SD booking team has any sense. However, that stupid bitch Stephanie will think Jackie as champ is a good idea, but her lack of heat means she needs pushed more--so she'll go over here and feud with Rey. Other Matches: The Undertaker, with Paul Bearer vs. Booker T Prediction: HAHAHAHAH!!! Booker wins unless Mordey interferes. The Dudley Boyz vs. Rob Van Dam & Rey Mysterio. Prediction: Those Damn Stale Dudley Boyz win, because nobody gives a shit about RVD these days, they just sacrificed Rey to Bradshaw, and the Dudleyz push just has to continue because I suppose we're that desperate for heels. Alternately, RVD turns heel and the Duds win, because RVD/Eddy has to be leaps and bounds better of a feud than this one. Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie. Prediction: Who gives a shit? Anyway, Torrie always wins, so I guess she does again. Meh. Mordecai vs ? Prediction: A jobber squash on PPV. Pathetic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted May 14, 2004 Like I give a shit about the PPV, but usually I'm either on the ball with predictions or way off... Eddie Guerrero vs. JBL: Predicted Winner: Eddie G. Desired Winner: WHO DO YOU FUCKING THINK!?! Predicted Match Rating: ** Never have I seen ANYONE carry Bradshaw to anything call good, and ** is being generous. John Cena vs. Rene Dupree: Predicted Winner: Rene Dupree Desired Winner: None Predicted Match Rating: * Two OVW-ites is not a good thing for a #2 match on PPV (cough:Brock/Cena) The Undertaker vs. Booker T Predicted Winner: Undertaker Desired Winner: Booker T's Heat Predicted Match Rating: 1/2* I can't see Deadman Taker having a good match, but who knows, Booker T may pull off a miracle. (thumbs through newspaper) Holy shit, Hell just froze over, melted, and froze over AGAIN. RVD/R-E-Y vs. Dudley Boyz Predicted Winner: Dudley Boyz Desired Winner: Don't Care Predicted Match Rating: ** It'll be decent, but like last time, won't be in any way great because the Duds suck. Rico/Haas vs. Hardcore Aas: Predicted Winners: Rico & Haas Desired Winners: Rico & Haas Predicted Match Rating: DUD Nothing good can come out of this unless Charlie breaks Holly's neck. Mordecai vs. Paul London or Spike Dudley Predicted Winner: Mordecai Desired Winner: the fans incase Mordecai sucks Predicted Match Rating: 1/2* London/spike will bump for 3 minutes, get 20 seconds of offense, and job quietly. Jacquelin vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr: Predicted Winner: Chavo Guerrero Desired Winner: Anyone but Jacquelin Match Rating: -* NOTHING GOOD CAN COME OUT OF THIS. to top it off, Chavo will have one hand tied behind his back. Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie: Predicted Winner: Uh...Don't care. Desired Winner: Also don't care. Match Rating: DUD I wouldn't watch this even if I ordered the show. I haven't even watched the Rumble 03 match yet. Overall: Piss-Poor up-and down with only TWO matches that have chances to be more than good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest sanyo Report post Posted May 14, 2004 Who cares, who cares, who cares. There's not one match on the card that I care about. Its a shit card and I still hope people boycott it unless they watch it in a bar. If you pay for this shit, you encourage this crap and McMahon will continue to deliever crap. Damn it, Eddie deserves better than that. So everyone, skip the PPV and save your money, and buy an Eddie shirt. This shows its not Eddie's who's at fault, its everyone else who can't shine Eddie's shoes, let alone fight him (points at JBL). BOYCOTT, BOYCOTT, BOYCOTT, BOYCOTT!

tbondrage99 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2004 WWE Championship Eddie Guerrero vs. John Bradshaw Layfield. Prediction: Eddie Guerrero, If Bradshaw wins I'll stop watching Smackdown. WWE Tag Team Championship Charlie Haas & Rico, w/ Miss Jackie vs. Hardcore Holly & Billy Gunn. Prediction: Rico & Haas, though since Billy Gunn is trying for the tag titles here yet again it wouldnt suprise me if they win the titles. Im sure if they are a perminant team it will only be a matter of time before Billy & Bob win the titles, but this Sunday I gotta think it will be Rico and Haas. U.S. Championship John Cena vs. Rene Dupree Prediction: Rene Dupree, No reason why Im picking him I just am. Cruiserweight Championship Jacqueline vs. Chavo Guerrero, with Chavo Classic. Chavo will wrestle with one hand tied behind his back. Prediction: If there is a God the it will be Chavo. The Undertaker, with Paul Bearer vs. Booker T Prediction: Booker T, Im betting someone will come out and screw The Undertaker out of the win, probally Mordecai. The Dudley Boyz vs. Rob Van Dam & Rey Mysterio Prediction: The Dudley Boyz, for some strange reason I think that RVD might turn on Mysterio, but hey Im sure thats just wishful thinking. Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie Prediction: Torrie Wilson, Let me just comment by saying I dont even know why this "match" is even on the card. Mordecai vs ? Prediction: Well its gotta be Mordecai there not gonna hype him up for months and have him loose his debut match which is on PPV. The real prediction here goes to who gets the honor of jobbing to him, Im betting it will either be a crusierweight, Rikishi, or the super generic Orlando Jordan.

Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted May 15, 2004 Speaking of Orlando Jordan, has he even gotten HEAT duty before a PPV yet? He's been in the WWE for over a year at least, and he hasn't done shit. I'm guessing he will be a soon to be released person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Report post Posted May 15, 2004 Well, seeing as the thread has already been started... Taking what I presume the card will be: WWE Championship contest scheduled for one fall: Eddy Guerrero (Champion) VS John Bradshaw DiBiase Horrible, lackluster repetitive hype for this match. This is indeed the first match in quite a while where a pushed, deserving champion has faced a pushed champion, deserving or not. I think that the possibility of the two surprising us is possible... Whether Eddy has to carry Bradshaw or not, I think that this one might just please. Whether it'll be a solid (doesn't that word just make you want to grit your teeth?) wrestling match in a good or bad way, I think that that's just what it could be. Even though that applies to the match's body, I'm predicting a run-in finish - most likely by Booker T. The match time should (as in "would") probably be around the 20-25 minute mark. The winner? They wouldn't, they couldn't dare... iB's prediction: Eddy Guerrero in a 5/10 match U.S. Champion contest scheduled for one fall: John Cena (Champion) VS Rene Dupree Hmmm... Dupree's just come over to SmackDown!, and will most likely be put over. Then again, Cena is a great U.S. Champion when booked correctly, and it's sad that ratings-wise, SmackDown! can't afford to give Dupree the belt right now. Or, more precisely, let Cena lose the belt right now. Actually, it's hard to predict what the match itself will be like. I can't seem to let my mind believe that it'll be a clean match, with no outside interference. But if these two are just let go, I have faith in a PPV-worthy match. iB's prediction: Rene Dupree in a 7/10 match, to be optimistic WWE Cruiserweight Championship contest scheduled for one fall: Jacqueline (Champion) VS Chavo Guerrero Jr. w/ Chavo Guerrero Sr. Don't get me back on what a stupid, stupid decision it was to give Jacqueline this championship. Wow, this is a weird PPV. I'm not expecting a PPV-worthy match. I'm not even expecting a cruiserweight match. Keeping it short would still leave some credibility. It would also negate that of the cruiserweight division itself. Just give Chavo the fucking belt back. iB's prediction: Chavo Guerrero Jr. in a DUD-1/10 match The Undertaker w/ Paul Bearer VS Booker T The build and future is a nice little package - 'Taker wants to show Booker respect (probably), setting up respective Mordecai and Eddy Guerrero feuds. Being presumptious. Not expecting much of a match here - I don't think that Booker and the 'Taker can work that way. But hey, I could be proved wrong. Definitely not expecting a clean ending here, because either clean ending would have something bad attached to it. I'm predicting a Mordecai run-in with the Undertaker to set up a feud there, with Booker moving on into the Championship hunt. A run-in can make 'Taker not look weak, and also not make it seem as if Booker deserves to move on - but he will. iB's prediction: Booker T in a 3/10 match WWE Tag Team Championship contest scheduled for one fall: Rico and Charlie Haas (Champions) VS Hardcore Holly and Billy Gunn I like how two teams have been made from singles stars who aren't really doing a lot lately. It doesn't guarantee good matches, but at least it's a start. I don't know if Haas and Rico are going to give up their belts just yet - Holly and Gunn haven't had enough hype yet as a tag team, and a title change will most likely happen on SmackDown!, presuming that a decent tag team feud wouldn't be able to be held until, say, Vengeance. It should be a fun match for obvious reasons. I honestly can't say how Gunn and Holly will go as a tag team, but we'll see. Oh, and the Dudley Boyz can't be far away... iB's prediction: Rico and Charlie Haas in a 4/10 match Scheduled for one fall: Torrie Wilson VS Dawn Marie I don't care as far as the match goes - it shouldn't even be on the card. The only real purpose that I can see for it is to give Cena and Dupree both valets, which really shouldn't matter considering that this is the blow-off match for them (or so you would think) - but Torrie and Dawn could aid their respective partners in the future. iB's prediction: He doesn't give a shit, but the match will probably be before Cena/Dupree so as for a run-in finish to spice up the Cena/Dupree match later on - No Contest in a DUD-.5/10 match Or a DQ, I don't know. Tag team contest scheduled for one fall: The Dudley Boyz VS Rob Van Dam and Rey Mysterio This is the match that I'm probably looking forward to the most. While the Dudley Boyz pretty much suck as wrestlers, they can at least work an entertaining match when need be, as can Van Dam and Mysterio, obviously. I feel great chemistry between these four - Van Dam and the Dudleyz are not strangers, and I'd love to see how Mysterio fits in here. I can't see a face victory though, even if I'd love to see them stay as a permanent tag team - I can see a clean finish, but not a happy one. I'm hoping that this match and these teams give the current SmackDown! tag team division a helping hand. iB's prediction: The Dudley Boyz in an 8/10 match, being optimistic again I can't see Mordecai getting a match here - I think that his appearance will be during the Undertaker/Booker affair. Some of those ratings up there may look like they dispute others, but you need not worry - they don't. I think that that about covers the lot. A few things to see doesn't even make a "fairly good" PPV - what we're getting is the bare mininum of a PPV requirement. iB's prediction: 3.5/10 - despite a possible winner or three, this won't be a good show.

Mordecai VS a mystery opponent I can see him making an impact over a jobber - possibly a member of the FBI, or a more established Superstar for his debut, because he's going to make an impact. This match has to be on first so that he's been familiarised with the fans when he runs in during Undertaker/Booker. And it abolishes the 'PPV run-in debut' cliche here. iB's prediction: Mordecai Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
