SmackDown!'s No Way Out predictions

[Guest Phenom]

Booker T vs. Livejournal

Winner: Heidenreich

Seriously, he has to win this. What is he, 1-6?

 

The Undertaker vs. Luthor Reigns

Winner: Reigns

Taker's PPV record since October has been L-W-L-W. I think the trend continues in Pittsburgh with a loss and a win at Mania.

 

WWE Crusierweight Championship (Six-man Elimination Match)

Funaki vs. Spike "The Anvil" Dudley vs. Paul London vs. Chavo Guerrrrrrrrrrero Jr. vs. Road Warrior Moore vs. Akio

Winner: Funaki

I don't know where they're going with this without Billy Kidman, but this is what I see.

 

WWE Tag-Team Championship

The Basham Brothers vs. Eddie Guerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrero and King Mystery

Winners: Bashams

A Mysterio/Guerrero reign doesn't make any sence.

 

#1 Contender's Match

John C-Note vs. Kurt Angle

Winner: Kurt Angle

Many of you are doing a spit-take and asking "What's he smoking?" Well, I'll give you some reasons why I think Angle will win.

• Gives Kurt Angle his "One Last Run"
• Allows Batista to interfier with the match, leading to a Batista-Cena feud
• I'd cry if Cena won

WWE Championship (Barbed-Wire Steel Cage Match)

John "Beekeeper" Layfield vs. The Bald Show

Winner: The Beekeeper

If you don't see this coming, you are legally retarted in 9 states and the province of Alberta.

 

I refuse to remark about the Diva crap (which needs to have it's own word). Comments? Suggestions? Death threats?

[Aero 0]

JBL vs. Big Show

I'm kind of interested to see this because of the stipulations, but I'm not expecting anything great. JBL is obviously going to win, probably due to interference from the Cabinet or botched Batista interference.

Prediction: JBL

 

Kurt Angle vs. John Cena

Just like the match above, it's an obvious win for Cena. I'm somewhat interested in seeing this match, too, because we never did get a blowoff to the summer's feud, which was a shame considering they built this for months. HBK will likely be involved. This has the potential to be MOTN.

Prediction: John Cena

 

Undertaker vs. Luther Reigns

I don't care in the slightest bit. Nothing about this appeals to me in any way. Undertaker will win to stay strong heading into WM.

Prediction: Undertaker

 

Bashams vs. Eddie Guerrero & Rey Mysterio

It seems too soon to take the titles off the Bashams, but I could see Eddie & Rey winning. This can go two ways, I think. (1) The Bashams win after Eddie & Rey have a miscommunication, leading to an Eddie heel turn on Rey to set up a match at WM, or (2) Eddie & Rey win the titles, as Benoit & Jericho win the titles on Raw, and they have an interpromotional match at WM. I think the former is much more likely, so I'll go with that. And I believe the latter, the WM part specifically, is only speculation on the internet.

Prediction: Bashams

 

Cruiserweight Six-Man Match

Could be really good if given enough time, or it could be the WM XX Cruiserweight Open all over again. With only 5-6 matches, and the Diva search crap, I'm guessing it will be given at least 15 minutes, which could be good. There are rumors of WWE wanting to revive the Cruiser division, so this might be a good start. I'll boldly predict that they try to establish London as a contender heading into WM, against Funaki, maybe by being the last man out or by just giving him a really good showing. I pick Funaki, because he's been built for months as a legit champion, so why stop his momentum heading into WM?

Prediction: Funaki

 

Heidenreich vs. Booker T

I don't know if it's official, but it looks like it will likely be added. I can't see anything good coming from it, as Book seems to be lost in the shuffle right now, and they likely want to give Heidenreich some momentum heading into WM's tag match. They'll probably have Book nearly win, only for Heidenreich to intentionally DQ himself and beat down Book with a chair, or something.

Prediction: Booker T via DQ

 

 

Overall, it looks like a mixed bag. I think Angle-Cena and the Cruiserweight matches have potential, but it's not worth $35, especially with WM being in April for even more money. I'll wait for the DVD.

[Mystery Eskimo 0]

JBL

Cena

Taker

Bashams

Chavo

Heidenreich

 

The only vaguely interesting and hence unpredictable match is the CW title. I'd hope for the Chavo win and then Chavo - London at WM.

[Guest Trivia247]

If this isn't proof that the Divas are taking up Three Segments all for their little bullshit where at least two of those spots could have gone to WRESTLING, then I don't know what to say anymore bleh.

 

Has to be JBL, Cena already beat Show at WM

 

Cena, HBK runs in and Snaps one off on a Intense Shaking Angle.

 

Taker of course, Luther had a Kick ass promo, but he ruined it when he ran away from Undertaker, so bullshit, Taker then

 

Los Fithy Animals version2 over the basams. though I am liking the Bashams.

 

Fu Na Ki! They are really giving him a decent title run and making him look strong, instead of some Comedy champion as people thought and decided to frown at his title reign. Good for Funaki win or lose

 

Heidenreich vs Booker T still doesn't make any damn sense. can't call it

[Guest FromBeyondTheGrave]

Booker T vs. Livejournal

lol

[SuperJerk 0]

What are the chances of the Cruiserweight Championship match being given enough time to be interesting?

[Styles 0]

There's a pay per view this Sunday?

[razazteca 0]

Why is Bradshaw the Beekeeper? Why not Corporate Raider Hansen?

[Guest FromBeyondTheGrave]

Why is Bradshaw the Beekeeper?

 

[razazteca 0]

Bradshaw looks like that guy from Space Ghost Coast 2 Coast!

[King Cucaracha 0]

JBL

Cena

Taker

Bashams

Chavo

Heidenreich

 

The only thing that interests me about the Cruiser Match is how London's going to try and cheat death this month in another futile attempt to get noticed. That and how long it'll take for the Divas to interrupt again.

[Dark Age 0]

Winner: Heidenreich

Seriously, he has to win this. What is he, 1-6?

 

No he doesn't. He has to go away.

[clean rob 0]

Basically going by the way WM21 is shaping up:

 

Booker T .VS. Heidenreich.

Winner: Heidenreich. So he can be built back up a little bit before he and Snitsky get synchronised tombstones at Maia.

 

The Undertaker .VS. Luther Reigns

Winner: Taker. There'll be Jindrak interference, but that's only 2 guys for Taker to fight, and everyone knows he can easily beat up 3.

 

Funaki .VS. Spike .VS. London .VS. Chavo .VS. Shannon Moore .VS. Akio

Winner: London, only to balance up the face/heel going over ratio, and out of blind hope. London/Akio the final two? Pretty please...

 

The Bashams vs. Eddie Guerrero & Rey Mysterio.

Winners: The Bashams, assuming we're getting Rey/Eddie at WM.

 

John Cena .VS. Kurt Angle.

Winner: John Cena. Angle/JBL would be a better match, but WWE won't do heel/heel and won't/shouldn't turn Angle face.

 

JBL .VS. The Big Show

Winner: JBL. Duh.

[Guest Tjhe CyNick]

Booker (I hope)

Bashams

Taker (it would nice to get an RKO after the match)

Chavo (I think it'll be London v Chavo at Mania)

Cena

JBL (hopefully clean)

[Gary Floyd 0]

Booker T. vs. "Angst" Ridden bad poetry reading teen trapped in a wrestlers body

Winner: Heidenreich. Why? So he and Snisky can job to Kane and Taker at Mania

 

6 Man Cruiserweight title Match

Winner: Either Funaki, Akio, or London. Either way, it will hopefully lead to a kick ass match at Mania

 

Undertaker vs. Luther Reigns

Winner: Dead Man ain't jobbin'

 

The Bashams vs. Rey Mysterio and Eddie Gurrero

Winner: Rey and Eddie. Meanwhile, RVD waits at home, wondering when the WWE will let him go so he can go to NWA TNA

 

The Most Annoying Man on Smackdown vs. Kurt Angle

Winner: Cena, since it's obvious that Angle vs. HBK will be at Mania

 

JBL vs. The Big Show (Barb Wire Steel Cage Match)

Winner: JBL, since I can't picture Big Show with the title soon

[Elbarto997 0]

Goin to the event..

 

Booker T vs Heidenseek

Winner: Johnny, after a sucky 7 minutes of action. I'm not sure if Booker T can carry Seek to at least 1/2*.

 

UT vs Luther Reigns

Winner: Aww, there's no way that this match is pointed to Taker winning. Taker's entrance should be pretty cool to witness in person.

 

Bashams vs Eddie GuerREYro

Winner: Eddie GuerREYro, the match should be watchable, but the WWE hs had this picnic before.

 

John Cena vs Kurt Angle

Winner: C'MON KURT, MAKE CENA TAP!!

 

The Cruiser 6 Way

Winner: Funaki, but if they give these guys AT LEAST 10 minutes, they can put the belt on Doink the Clown. DO THE RIGHT THING VINCE!!!!

 

JBL vs Show

Winner: JBL. But they're kids surely won't be the winners if they try to climb over the cage.

 

3 (possibly 4 if Kurt/Cena delivers) matches should be an interesting watch.

[Kurt Angle Mark 0]

Here is Meltzer's take on the PPV

 

No Way Out notes from Pittsburgh:

*JBL vs. Big Show in a barbed wire match. Actually this is a regular cage match, and the barbed wire is only at the top of the cage. Still, we're looking at a likely double juice match to get over the stip. Obviously JBL is going to retain his title, unless they figure too many people can see that and they did a quick double switch (in the Russo days they would have done that, today I think it's far less likely). The blood is going to have to save it, because I doubt they'll go less than 15:00 in the main event slot, and with these two, and particularly Show, that isn't a wise idea. I just saw them live a few weeks ago and they can't do much with each other without gimmicking it up. Obviously Batista will play some part in this match.

 

*Undertaker vs. Luther Reigns. Undertaker is headed into some sort of a big match at Mania. Reigns just seems to be a guy fed to him since they've got nobody else. Reigns cuts good promos, but on paper, this doesn't look good either. The fact it's in Pittsburgh, which has a rep for being the toughest crowd, won't help matters any

 

*Kurt Angle vs. John Cena. Cena will win. Angle has been given a lot of time off. The Mysterio match in Japan shows that on days when he's asked to turn it on, Angle can still go with the best of them. But this isn't Mysterio here. Plus, while it is unlikely because Cena isn't a babyface people are apt to boo, it is still Angle's home town. It's very important for Cena to have a good match here, although maybe the FU finish alone is enough. I wouldn't be shocked to see Shawn Michaels involved here.

 

*Bashams vs. Eddie Guerrero & Rey Mysterio for the tag title. This should be the best wrestling on the show. The big story here is will Guerrero turn on Mysterio. That was the originally booked idea here. However, Guerrero's popularity has blown away everyone on both sides with the possible exception of Batista (and when they did house shows here a few weeks back, Guerrero was a league above Batista) and turning him is a highly questionable move. I don't mind the idea of Guerrero vs. Mysterio at Mania, and the fact is, babyface or heel, they aren't going to put Guerrero in the real upper echelon world title picture, so him elevating Mysterio to very near the top in a program and having great matches is hardly the worst alternative. Still, the last time they tried to turn Guerrero heel, it ironically made him take a step upwards in babyface popularity.

 

*Funaki vs. Spike Dudley vs. Chavo Guerrero vs. Shannon Moore vs. Paul London vs. Akio. These are all good workers and they'll probably have a good match. Just as likely, based on how much respect they are given, the crowd may not care

 

*Booker T vs. John Heidenreich. This match hasn't been officially announced or confirmed, but it's the most likely match if they are going to add a late one. It was on the actual schedule as of yesterday, but it isn't like this show is in dire need of another bad match.

 

There will also be a series of competitions with Lauren without a last name, Rochelle without a last name, Michelle McCool and Joy Giovanni for the Rookie Diva of the Year award. Let's hope it doesn't break down into a dodge ball game or a two-women's volleyball match, because McCool is a stud athlete and somebody is getting their head knocked off.

[Guest Failed Mascot]

I don't know which is worse. Phenom's nicknames for the wrestlers or the actual card.

I still find it funny that the moment they figure out how to stop Hot Boxes/Black Boxes from working is the moment the WWF/E starts their terrible run. I wouldn't wanna steal this crap let alone pay for it.

[Guest Ransome]

JBL vs The Big Show:

prediction: JBL

 

Angle vs Cena

prediction: Cena

 

Undertaker vs Luther Reigns

prediction: Undertaker

 

Bashams vs Eddie/Rey

prediction: Bashams

 

Funaki vs Spike Dudley vs Chavo Guerrero vs Shannon Moore vs Paul London vs Akio

prediction: Man, hopefully Paul London. I'd rather he won it here and see him walk into WM as champ; if he won the title at WM it'd be overshadowed by everything else on the card.

 

Booker T vs Heidenreich

prediction: Heidenreich

 

Diva search

prediction: Joy.

[natey2k4 0]

JBL vs The Big Show:

prediction: Big Show vs Cena happened last year.. so it won't happen again. Not to mentino, one more month with JBL as the champ is going to make Cena's win all the more "poparific"... As well.. JBL is a great champ, like him or not, he's entertaining and that's something WWE hasn't had for awhile. JBL wins in about 18 minutes. **1/4

 

Angle vs Cena

prediction: This should be a good match.. as good as their first ever match (I heard its on BTWS 2 DVD.. is that true?)..I dunno.. but it should be alright. Cena and Angle can both work the crowd.. and I actually wouldnt mind seeing some rule bending (as in street fight) here after some nice matwork that would obviously be carried by Angle. Cena had a pretty damn good match with Booker T last week on Smackdown (FINALLY!!) and Angle is a better worker. This Has potential. ***1/2

 

Undertaker vs Luther Reigns

prediction: Wow. The winner is no-one.. this couldn't be any worse. Then agian nothing will be till Taker retires. Luther Reigns is a decent worker for his size.. and his promo kicked all kinds of ass. Jindrak will interfere.. but does it matter? Maybe if Angle, as well as the rest of Smackdown intereferes.. Taker might job?... nah.. Taker wins, easily. *

 

Bashams vs Eddie/Rey

prediction: This has potential to be the match of the night. Seriously, the Basham's can work.. and while I hate the WWE Style of theirs.. they can work and with workers like Eddie/Rey it should be good. I'm leaning towards the Bashams after a bit of miscommunication with Eddie/Rey. A Eddie/Rey title win would be pointless (other than the fact that it would call for a rematch at Mania with maybe Jindrak/Reigns and possibly some sort of new team or the Dudleyz) and take a few matches off the card freeing up some space. Actually now that I think of it.. they'll save the Eddie/Rey till after I think.. Eddie/Rey win in a suprise victory. ***1/2

 

Funaki vs Spike Dudley vs Chavo Guerrero vs Shannon Moore vs Paul London vs Akio

prediction: Paul London. This should steal the show. If only Spike was replaced with Kidman, my WWE fantasy would be fulfilled haha. But I'll take what I can get... you know the thing I dont understand is why WWE doesnt give the cruiserweights 10-15 minutes per PPV... I mean if they did the Smart Marks would be happier.. This match has potential and lets hope London or Akio come away with the title.. **** (with time) **1/4 (without time)

 

Booker T vs Heidenreich

prediction: Heidenreich. Booker T is pretty useless nowadays.. as is Heidenreich and this match could be any LESS appealing. Heidenreich is entertaining somewhat.. but he still can't wrestle. Booker T is okay at best.. but stale as hell. This match will suck more then Reigns vs Taker. 3/4*

 

Diva search

prediction: Joy.. this is such a waste of time.. Why not add Charlie Haas v. Dupree or Charlie Haas v. Kidman and give them 10 minutes.. whatever.

JBL vs the Big Show

 

All the major matches are obvious. Booker/Heidi, Cruisers and the Tag Match, which had no buildup, are kinda out there, but still seem pretty obvious.

[humongous2002 0]

Winner: Heidenreich

Seriously, he has to win this. What is he, 1-6?

 

No he doesn't. He has to go away.

I wish that was true but Book has been jobber to the stars since 2001.

[tekcop 0]

JBL vs. Big Show

I actually think this'll be pretty good. Both men can bring it in the ring, but I think the stips will actually hurt the match. I predict it'll be about as good as JBL's second defense against Eddie and first against Angle. Not great, but more than watchable.

Prediction: JBL

 

Kurt Angle vs. John Cena

This should be alright, I suppose. If Angle stay on offense for most of the match it'll be good. The one thing Cena can do well is sell, which is the one thing Angle's really horrible at. A Michaels run in is expected.

Prediction: John Cena

 

Undertaker vs. Luther Reigns

Hopefully, this'll be really good. Taker's PPV matches usually are worse than his TV ones, though.

Prediction: Undertaker

 

Bashams vs. Eddie Guerrero & Rey Mysterio

Given any time at all, this'll be fun stuff. The Bashams aren't great, but they work well together and do some nice stuff from time to time. I think they can hang with Eddie and Rey for a while, at least.

Prediction: Bashams

 

Cruiserweight Six-Man Match

If I were to watch this live, I'd probably be more into it than any other match on the card. I mark hard for London and any chance of him winning the CW title is great. I mean, I was marking out and yelling at my TV during the three-way he won to enter the Rumble and during the Rumble itself when it became obvious that Snitsky was going to eliminate him. Since I won't be watching the PPV live, I'll probably not really enjoy this at all. Multiple sided matches tend to suck. Too many cooks spoil the pot and all that.

Prediction: London

 

Heidenreich vs. Booker T

I'll probably never actually watch this match during my lifetime.

Prediction: Me

[JoeDirt 0]

So yeah, I'm not gonna spend $35 to watch this. But if anyone finds a free stream, I'd check it out.

 

I think most of the results on the show are pretty obvious. I'm curious what happens in the CW title match, though. And we should get a good idea by the booking of Booker/Heidenreich if they're giving up on Heidenreich as a major heel, or if his push is only beginning...

[Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0]

After watching the Royal Rumble and NYR, I wondering who will be the next person to get a knee injury?

[Guest Phenom]

After watching the Royal Rumble and NYR, I wondering who will be the next person to get a knee injury?

Please let it be Cena, PLEASE let it be Cena.

[Guest Fook_Theta]

Please let it be Cena, PLEASE let it be Cena.

Aside of being a cold heartless bastard, I kinda do wish Batistia or Cena or someone heavily pushed would get into a serious accident ala Stone Cold, so that maybe the fucking writers would be challenged to write good dialogue and whatnot, instead of doing the copout shit that has been going on.

 

Ofcourse more than likely they'd just be taken off the air with something stupid said, like Shelton and others have had done.

[Guest ManKinnd]

#1 Contender's Match

John C-Note vs. Kurt Angle

Winner: Kurt Angle

Many of you are doing a spit-take and asking "What's he smoking?" Well, I'll give you some reasons why I think Angle will win.

[*]Gives Kurt Angle his "One Last Run"

[*]Allows Batista to interfier with the match, leading to a Batista-Cena feud

[*]I'd cry if Cena won

Are you kidding? Why would Batista feud with Cena going into WM? He's going for the title either way. HBK/Angle is nearly in stone, so why wouldn't it be HBK running in?
