Well, Judgment Day is upon us.
Will it contain moments as mark-worthy than the last few minutes
of the one last year? No way, Jose. However, I might bite for
this one. Might is the operative word here. Maybe I'm not into
the angles like I used to be, but I can't really go all-out for
winners on most of these matches. Usually, I do pretty damn good
but this time I'm not sure who to pick and choose. Probably should
just go with the worst scenario cases, which will probably happen.
Now off the rant: the unpredictibility might entice me to buy.
Well, that and the fact I'm needing an excuse for a get-together.
However, that whole "need to be somewhat drunk to enjoy"
deal hangs over it. So this will probably be another "Well,
it's 7:59, should we get it or not?" deal.
World Wrestling Federation Championship
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Undertaker
My Pick: Yes, I tease him terribly. And, yes, I do get
antsy with him in the ring. However, I will go with Taker on this
one.
Will Win: Austin
WINNER: AUSTIN (just fucked up,
fucked up ending)
Intercontinental Championship
Chain Match
Triple H vs. Kane
My Pick: Kane all the way. He needs a big push (and deserves
it). And since they're so damn determined to have this (Brothers
Grim v. HHH/Austin) as the angle of every show a win from Kaney
will liven it up.
Will Win: Same.
WINNER: KANE
Medals Match
2 out of 3 falls
1st fall -- pinfalls only
2nd fall -- submissions only
3rd fall (if necessary) -- Ladder Match
Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit
My Pick:
Benoit just because I like Benoit a bit more now. And, dammit,
this match should be worth the price of admission, given they
actually devote the time to it.
Will Win: Kurt, to put an end to this.
WINNER: KURT ANGLE
Women's Championship
Chyna vs. Lita
*violent wretching* This is reason numero uno for not buying the
PPV. Just pray it's short and somewhat painless
My Pick: Lita because she's less of a bitch. Not basing
this on non-existent wrestling skills, folks.
Will Win: Chyna and the world weeps. For some reason,
I'm thinking she and Eddy will be reunited. C'mon, someone shit
in her gym bag already so that she quits.
WINNER: CHYNA
note: The damn match wasn't that
bad- actually watchable.
William Regal vs. Rikishi
My Pick:
The Commish.
Will Win: Rikishi, to give Steve the Stinkface.
WINNER: REGAL
Hardcore Championship:
Test vs. Big Show vs. Rhino
My Pick:
Well, out of these 3, going with Test.
Will Win: Same.
WINNER: RHINO
Tag Team somethingorother
APA v. Dudleys v. X-Pukers v.
Edge/Christian v. Hardys v. Saturn/Malenko v. Jericho/mystery
man (please be Tajiri, please be Tajiri...), and probably a bunch
of other guys
My Pick:
Oh, why must thou book a match involving my boys, the APA and
Dudleys? I have to choose and I'll go with the APA.
Will Win: Well, let's dissect this, shall we? Radicalz
ain't over enough. I think Bubba's injured, so I'm not counting
on the Dudleys. And X-Pukers as no. 1 contenders? BWAHAHAHAHA!!
Edge/Christian need something more because their run after run
after run is boring as hell. And I'm not a big fan of the Hardys.
And CJ and mystery man ain't cutting it for me. So, I say the
APA, since they seem to be getting a miniscule push here.
WINNER: THE CHRISES
Now, for the tally:
My Picks Correct: ( 2/7) = 16%
Will Wins Correct: ( 4/7) = 57%
Overall PPV Thoughts: Bought
it and it's a solid thumbs-in-the-middle. The ending was fucked
up and predictable, along with reeking of a regular wrestling
show instead of a PPV. The Chyna/ Lita match was suprisingly decent.
The Benoit/Angle match was pretty good, but the screwjob ending
was ridiculous. However, it was good to see Kane get a rub from
Hunter. As for the rest, I didn't watch too much of it.
