Predictions for 2009

[Boxer 0]

So here is the 2009 thread. It's safe to say that 2008 wasn't as eventful as 2007 in terms of the main stream media, but there were still a few surprises such as Punk and Jeff winning world titles. Without further ado, here's my predictions for 2009.

 

Austin will wrestle at Wrestlemania 25

Sting will join the WWE finally

Christian will be a World Champion by Summerslam

Ron Killings will slowly fade away

WWE will continue to have more mass firings, this time the names will be Benjamin, Kendrick, Kennedy as the big ones

ECW will fold

Chris Jericho will get another Intercontinetal Championship run

Shawn Michaels will retire in 2009

Undertaker will not in 2009

Ted Dibiase will be a major player by the end of 2009

John Cena will have another superman run with the world title, and will not drop the title at all in 2009

One superstar will be elected to the hall of fame and it will shock us all

Orton becomes a major face

Batista will continue to choke in title matches

CM Punk turns heel

Rey Mysterio will just flounder on Raw

Kurt Angle will return by Survivor Series

Matt and Jeff will be de-pushed by Vengence

Triple H will take time off, just because he can

Santino Marella will become a world champion

Mick Foley returns to WWE just to bash TNA

One major TNA star, not named Sting, will join the WWE

There will be a few more "Braden Walkers" in the WWE

Kelly Kelly will pose nude for Playboy

Big Show will become WWE Champion

Goldust, Cody and Dusty will get TV time as a trio

DH Smith and TJ Wilson will be known by the end of 2009

Cryme Tyme will break up and Shad will be pushed as a HOSS

 

Yours?

[CBright7831 0]

Those are some bold predictions - especialy the first three - but I was shocked at how many predictions were correct in the 2008 thread so here...we...GO!

[luke-o 0]

Santino Marella will become a world champion

 

[Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0]

The ECW title is a World Championship.

[haws bah gawd 0]

Some of these may be a little out there:

 

Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak will remain intact

ECW will get a secondary championship

CM Punk will turn heel

Batista or John Cena will turn heel

Santino will ditch his goofball character and revert to his OVW gimmick

Kurt Angle will return with a limited schedule

Stone Cold Steve Austin will get the Ric Flair treatment around Wrestlemania

Orton will be the top guy on RAW by the end of the year

Jeff Hardy will earn "Strike 3" during his title run

Rob Van Dam will return with a limited schedule

Evan Bourne will win MitB, challenge Matt hardy for the ECW title, and win

Cryme Tyme will break up with Shad being the "Shawn Michaels" of the team

After his push dies, R Truth will ask for his release around the middle of the year

Shelton Benjamin will carry the United States belt for a majority of the year

This time next year, John Cena will still be World Champion, and will have a 'Spinner' World title

 

 

 

[Fartsauce 0]

I called either Matt or Jeff winning a world title in the 2008 thread (both did if you count the ECW title being a world) as well as the Big Show returning. Nobody on the current roster has died yet but there's still about a week and a half to go.

 

For 2009.....

 

Jeff Hardy is fired around June.

 

Vince Mcmahon starts suffering the beginning of what turns out to be fatal health problems for him.

 

A main event superstar has a huge blowup with the company and eventually defects to TNA

 

Kennedy gets released

 

Mysterio suffers yet another injury keeping him out for most of the year.

2009

-Shawn Michaels declares that he’ll retire for good @ Summer Slam but when a top star gets injured, Shawn is asked to stay and he does, delaying his retirement until WM26.

-Undertaker’s streak remains intact with a victory over Michaels, but takes his annual sabbatical during the summer and returns with yet another slightly modified version of his character. He will get a final brief title run in the fall.

-Kendrick will win the MITB @ WM and attempts to cash it in on the same night against the ECW Champion.

-Due to the struggling economy, WWE will be forced to lay off more production workers, office employees and a majority of their development workers. However, Bob Holly will remain employed.

-Mike Knox will not shave his beard in 2009.

-Rey Mysterio will be the lone major name to leave WWE for TNA.

 

-The following are just some that will be released: D-Lo Brown, Paul Burchil, JTG, Curt Hawkins, Boogeyman, Zach Ryder, Bam Neely, Gavin Spears, Alicia Fox and Hornswoggle.

-Despite a long losing streak, MVP has a great Rumble, lasting an hour, this finally snaps MVP out of his funk and he enjoys great success in 2009.

-Edge wins the Royal Rumble.

-Matt Striker is moved to Raw to replace Lawler. Lawler moves to Smackdown to reunite with Ross. Tazz moves to ECW.

-Trish Stratus makes a return to the ring on a limited schedule but quickly turns heel.

-CM Punk gets moved to Smackdown and is established as a top face on that brand.

-Matt Hardy will turn on Jeff and they attempt to make that feud work again. It’ll be the focus of ECW for awhile. Jeff strikes out once again just before their blow-off match. Jeff is buried and released from the company. Jeff quits the business for awhile.

-The Tag Team titles will be unified at WrestleMania by Miz and Morrison.

 

-In a bizarre mandate from McMahon, he declares a no-new tattoo policy on the wrestlers. Randy Orton is the first to break that rule and with no action being taken, the rule is quickly forgotten.

-WWE sign Rhett Titus, Delirious and Kenny King.

-Thanks to his appearence in The Wrestler, Necro Butcher also signs.

-Here are just a few of the names will be suspended for some form of wellness violation: Cody Rhodes, Manu, Carlito, Umaga, Chavo Guerrero, Ricky Ortiz and both Hawkins/Ryder.

-Despite the efforts to promote a kid friendly image, WWE once again does a Playboy pictorial just before WM. The Bella Twins will appear.

-Ezekiel Jackson will finally depart from Kendrick, in similar fashion to HBK/Diesel and enjoy a title push on ECW.

-Mr. Kennedy suffers another injury in his return match and misses 6 months. Frustrated with Kennedy’ injury habit, Kennedy is released. Kennedy surfaces on a VH1 type show as a host. .

-Kelly Kelly will enjoy her push as the “New Trish Stratus”.

-Inspired by The Wrestler’s success, McMahon decides to directly steal from the movie using Marty Jannetty.

-Marty Jannetty will be fired.

[garfieldsnose 0]

WWE doesn't die.

[DangerousDamon 0]

Ted Dibiase will beat Orton's record for longest reigning IC champ of the decade, or whatever Orton's record was.

Zach Ryder and Curt Hawkins will get split up in the draft and then subsequently be released.

After Big Zeke gets the Hoss push, Kendrick will flounder then eventually be released. Zeke will then beat Gregory Helms for the US Title.

Edge will steal the WWE Title AGAIN.

Legacy will turn on Dibiase the same way Evolution turned on Orton.

The Miz and Morrison will hold the Raw Tag Titles for a whole calendar year.

Jack Swagger will win the ECW Title.

There will be a new secondary (the way WWE treats secondary titles, we should probably call this new title a tertiary title) title. Sort of like a TV title maybe for ECW.

[The Truthiness 0]

Christian Cage will stay in TNA but Hernandez and Robert Roode will go to WWE.

 

I know these are supposed to be outlandish predictions sometimes, but there is no way that Hernandez will end up in WWE. Both he and Homicide signed new 3 year deals with TNA last week.

[Lt. Al Giardello 0]

Kendrick will win the MITB, but somehow Ezekiel Jackson will end up cashing it in, because Kendrick will be injured or something.

 

Morrison will win the MITB, and cash it in after the 1st title match at mania.

 

Make up your mind...

[Lt. Al Giardello 0]

By the way some of your guys predictions are stupid with no logic behind them.

 

Yeah the WWE is going to release Kofi Kingston, despite him being one of the better workers in the company and extremely over.

 

Yeah they are going to release Cryme Tyme, despite them being one of the most over face acts in the company and the WWE being very high on Shad and could make a lot of money off him. Maybe JTG will be released if they break up Cryme Tyme, but certainly not Shad.

[DCH 0]

CM Punk will become a legit ME wrestler, either as a heel or a face.

 

Edge will turn face when Christian returns by beating down on Vickie.

 

Randy Orton will become a face.

 

Batista will turn heel.

 

Trips will turn heel.

 

Jeff Hardy will get fired for his 3rd strike, end up in TNA and win the TNA World Title within a month.

 

Sting will sign with WWE

 

Kennedy will become an upper midcarder.

Paul London was a great worker. Where is he now? Kingston's push has largely stalled out on Raw, he was much better off on ECW.

 

As for Cryme Tyme, both men have been over, that didn't stop them from being released the first time. My list of firings is in the belief that WWE will have to make major cuts in this economy, the likes of which we have never seen before.

 

If you have such a problem with my predictions though, please make up your own.

[Silence 0]

Kennedy will become an upper midcarder.

 

As many injuries as he gets? Doubtful.

Paul London has zero charisma or camera pressence. That is not the case with Kofi... When has London ever been as over, or even pushed as much as Kofi? Kofi hasn't been pushed in the main event scene, but he is in a fine spot on RAW and is constantly given TV time, and has been putting on good matches that go over with the crowd on RAW. He is very muched needed and belongs on RAW, there is no need to push him right off the bat, he's been in the WWE for 1 year? It takes other wrestlers longer to get to the main event level.

 

Why would they release him, when he is valued?

 

Cryme Tyme got released the 1st time over some bullshit, and got hired back in like 6 months. What does that have to do with them getting released again? Back then they could afford to release them, now they are even more over and actually put on decent matches.

 

If you want some of my predictions well then here:

 

- Steve Austin will wrestle John Cena at Wrestlemania.

 

- Jeff Hardy loses the title at the Royal Rumble back to Edge.

 

- The Rock makes another cameo appearence close to Wrestlemania.

 

- Kane gets a main event title feud.

 

- Shawn Michaels gets one more title run.

 

- MVP wins MITB and cashes it in at Summerslam.

[spman 0]

Although only a couple of my predictions last year cam true, a lot of them were way off, but I'll try this again

 

The film "The Wrestler" becomes an overwhelming success, reigniting public interest in Professional Wrestling, but it will be very short lived, and no one will be able to successfully capitalize

 

ROH will fold after the summer due to dwindling attendance, and an inability to sell their DVDs

 

TNA will struggle to survive in the current economic climate, but will manage to make it through this year, which could very well end up being their last. Kurt Angle will leave, and make an unsuccessful attempt at Mixed Martial Arts, before returning WWE, working a limited schedule

 

Despite his lackluster dark match appearence, Tyson Tomko will get himself into shape, come back to RAW, and become a huge star.

 

Mike Knox ends up getting a Vladmir Kozlov-esque push and works at least one PPV Main Event against John Cena

 

This will be both Undertaker and Shawn Michaels last year as active competitors, with them wrestling one another in their retirement match at WM 26

 

Kane will decide to hang up the boots as well, working a limited schedule before being vanquished once and for all by his brother at Summerslam

 

The new Hart Foundation will never resurface, however the Legacy Faction on RAW will expand to Smackdown and include DH Smith, Natalya, Ray Gordy, and Hennig Jr

 

Festus, Umaga, Kozlov, Colt Cabana, Hornswaggle, Boogeyman, Carlito, Hawkins, Ryder, Helms, Jimmy Yang, Bob Holly, D-Lo, Jillian, Paul Birchill, Katy Lea, Jamie Noble, and everyone except for the established Superstars on ECW will be in the unemployment line.

 

Charlie Haas will continue his current gimmick giving us some amusing characters such as Muhammad Haasan and Hunter Haas Helmsly, but will be released after Wrestlemania

 

WWE will make one last attempt at pushing Mr. Kennedy, but he will blow it with an injury and a wellness violation all in the same week, and get released as a result. He signs on with TNA after his no-compete clause is up and become a huge star over there.

 

The RAW and Smackdown tag belts will merge futher blurring the lines in the brand split

 

ECW as we know it will be canceled and get a format change turning it into a Heat / Velocity type show featuring wrestlers from both RAW and Smackdown

 

WWE will experiment with the old-school six hour taping where an entire months worth of material gets taped all at once, but it won't be successful, and will settle with an every other week schedule where two RAWs get taped back to back on Monday, and two Smackdowns back to back on Tuesday

 

Future Main Eventers: Ted Dibiase Jr, Mike Knox (Unfortunately), Cody Rhodes, Ezekial, Shad Gaspar

 

Wrestlers whose importance will dwindle: CM Punk, Jeff Hardy, JBL, Batista

[The Truthiness 0]

Kendrick will win the MITB, but somehow Ezekiel Jackson will end up cashing it in, because Kendrick will be injured or something.

 

Morrison will win the MITB, and cash it in after the 1st title match at mania.

 

Make up your mind...

 

 

No.

 

 

 

 

 

[Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0]

After awhile Vince will get tired of pushing Kozlow and he'll be released.

TNA will fold because of the economic crisis.

JBL will reinjure his back and be forced to retire.

HBK and JBL will wrestle at Wrestlemania.

Randy Orton will win the Royal Rumble.

John Cena will be the World Heavyweight Champion till he injures himself again. This cycle will keep happening because of the way he pushes himself.

The McMahons will have an on air feud which will lead to a fatal four way between them at Wrestlemania.

Hogan's reality show will and he'll make peace with the WWE and wrestle at Summerslam versus Edge.

Batista will quit the company because of his ego.

Triple H will take more of a backstage/mentoring role for the young superstars.

Bob Holly will be released and he'll go crazy.

[Celtic Jobber 0]

2 Divas will be in Playboy, possibly Maria with Michelle McCool

[tobin 0]

-The Legacy will grow stronger and will eventually turn on Randy Orton, who becomes a babyface. Ted DiBiase, who conspired the plot, will become their new leader.

 

-Triple H returns to RAW as a heel and forms an alliance with a newly heel Batista. The two will eventually feud with the uneasy alliance of John Cena and Randy Orton. Shawn Michaels will be torn between the two sides in a hot angle but will eventually emphatically remain a face.

 

-A WrestleMania main event will be two superstars representing Shane and Stephanie McMahon wrestling for control of WWE. Whoever wins and takes control will be quickly disposed of by a returning babyface Vince.

-MVP’s burial will cease but he will still remain a midcarder by the end of 2009.

 

-Shawn Michaels and Undertaker will not retire in 2009. However, both will take lengthy sabbaticals. JBL will retire again in 2009 and will become the third man on the RAW announce team.

 

-WWE and Great Khali part ways, causing Mark Henry to be turned into a comedy babyface and feature in skits with Mae Young playing off their past romance.

 

-Notable releases will include The Boogeyman, Mike Knox, Hurricane Helms and William Regal (third strike). Michelle McCool will be noticeably depushed as her relationship with Undertaker behind the scenes ends. Vickie Guerrero will also cease to be an on-air character.

 

-Big Daddy V is rehired and works a feud with Undertaker.

 

-Christian is drafted to ECW and he and Matt Hardy engage in a very lengthy singles feud.
