The minute I
hear the name of this PPV, visions of last year's suckfest and
snoozefest (literally- I paid $30 to sleep through damn near the
whole shitty PPV) come to mind. Also coming to mind is numerous
pissed off UT fans after they threw out hint after hint of his
return. And by looking at this card, it ain't gonna be much better.
Oh yeah, and for those of you who are sure that Undie's going
back to the Lord schtick, forget it. Yes the poster may say "Lord
I'm Coming Home to You" but have any of you heard of a little
ditty called "Sweet Home Alabama" from a certain southern
rock and gods of rock band, Lynyrd Skynyrd? The whole lyric goes:
"Sweet Home Alabama, where the skies are so blue. Sweet Home
Alabama -- Lord I'm coming home to you." Great song, by the
way, from a great band. That whatever-you-call-it that the WWF
has as a backdrop to their promos does this song no justice whatsoever.
And, oh yeah,
I'm hoping this is the final card. I know not to trust the WWF
for theirs, because they like to swerve the folks in an attempt
to make things more exciting, but this was posted on some site.
Six Way
Hell in a Cell Match for the Federation Championship
Kurt Angle vs. Undertaker vs. Triple H vs. Rock vs. Rikishi
vs. Stone Cold
(aka reason
numero one for not buying this)
My Pick: Well,
this is a toughie. HHH's been battling injury, as are Taker and
Rikishi. I don't buy Austin as champ, because his work ethic is
kaput, except for the match with Benoit. So that leaves me between
Rock and Kurt. I'm saying Kurt will hold onto it here due to the
fact that another champ will be crowned at Royal Rumble.
Anyway, I'm not
looking forward to this match because it will further sour the
legacy of this type of match (WM XV's was terrible from Undie's
Spring Wardrobe to the Bossman being in it). That and I'm sure
they'll want to blade like crazy and get kind of brutal and, personally,
I can't watch Undie in that type of match, as I suffer from the
Foley Complex when it comes to the big guy and all that weight
flying around the ring. And if he dares to show up for the match
in those god-awful snakeskin pants, they'll beat the living shit
out of him even more.
Will Win: Same.
Winner: Angle
Last Man
Standing
Kane vs. Chris Jericho
My Pick: Gotta go with Jericho
on this one. Jericho's been jerked around more than a puroseau
weenie's dick during a Japanese-style match, as has Kane. About
time to let these two shine and into new, exciting angles.
Will Win: Same.
Winner: Jericho

Championship
"The One" Billy Gunn vs. Chris Benoit
My Pick: Benoit, Benoit, Benoit.
Will Win: Billy Gunn.

Championship

My Pick: Regal.
Will Win: Regal.
Winner: Regal

I have to go with Molly.
Will Win: Ivory.
