WWE Undisputed Title Match
The Undertaker vs. Triple H
Winner: HHH Could see HHH turn heel and maybe Undertaker turn face - I agree

Hulk Hogan vs. Kurt Angle
Winner:Hulk Hogan by DQ when Kurt ANgle refuses to break the ankle lock on Hogan because Hogan took his wig off - I agree once again

Ric Flair vs. Eddy Guerrero
Winner:Eddie Guerrero with help from Chris Benoit - can you say thrice time agree

WWE Women's Title Match
Trish Stratus vs. Molly Holly
Winner: Trish Stratus - 4th time agree

King of the Ring Semi-Finals
RVD vs. Chris Jericho
Winner: RVD in possibly best match of the night - yes

King of the Ring Semi-Finals
Brock Lesnar vs. Test
Winner:Brock Lesnar - but ofcourse


King of the Ring Finals

Brock Lesnar vs RVD
Winner:RVD with help from the Rock. - NO.
NO. NO. I dont want it to happen but it could, specially if at SummerSlam we see Brock vs Rock with Rock putting Brock over then Brock going on to face RVD at whichever comes after SS.

Main event for summerslam I say is RVD vs HHH. - with RVD winning if RVD does beat Brock, if Brock wins then he(brock) will beat HHH in a bloody, horrific, awesome match. which would also be cool to see, so in my opinion we(fans) win eithe way.

WWE Undisputed Title Match
The Undertaker vs. Triple H
Winner: Taker. I think they want a face to be champ at Summer Slam, but a NEW face, not this lump of crap on roids known by three initials. Hell, they probably just booked this match to blowoff the inter-promotional rivalry they wrote between the two that lasted a week and because neither had anything to do, so might as well cover their ass for that dropped storyline.

Hulk Hogan vs. Kurt Angle
Winner:Kurt Angle. God, please don't bury him by making him job to HIM.

Ric Flair vs. Eddy Guerrero
Winner:Eddie Guerrero with help from Chris Benoit. Hey, TeenWeek already had written that for me, so it's good ol' cut and paste coming through again.

WWE Women's Title Match
Trish Stratus vs. Molly Holly
Winner: I'd be gay and say, "The fans," but I'll leave it to a tool to write that. In reality, it should be Molly Holly, with "Who gives a fuck, it's a women's match?" running a close second.

King of the Ring Semi-Finals
RVD vs. Chris Jericho
Winner: RVD in possibly best match of the night. Yup, TeenWeek wrote that for me, too.
:-D

King of the Ring Semi-Finals
Brock Lesnar vs. Test
Winner:Brock Lesnar. Well, duh. This better be a Goldberg-like 5 second squash because, first off, it's heel v. heel, which is usually brutal from a crowd reaction standpoint, and second off, since they seem to want to give Brock the Jesus push, having him struggle to beat a glorified jobber ain't the way to get it. Plus, it would be a good story: Brock took care of business in 5 seconds while RVD had to have a WAR with Y2J setting up:


King of the Ring Finals

Brock Lesnar vs RVD
Winner:Brock Lesner. A rested Brock beats a tired RVD will be the storyline. C'mon, it's pretty obvious Brock is going over in this tournament, and if they are serious at all about elevating new guys, they better elevate the only new guy they really seem to whole heartedly be behind.

The rumor is the Rock presents the trophy to the winner of the tournament. Well, obviously, if it's Brock, or any heel, really, this will lead to a nice little angle. Rock presents the trophy, Brock beats the shit out of him *BOOM* Brock v. Rock at the July PPV where Brock goes over to make sure he IS over for his SummerSlam title shot, where he'll probably win.

The world champ at SS? I'd say either RVD, wanting revenge for a KOTR loss to the Brock and also being pissed at Taker for a few weeks ago, getting the title from Taker to face Brock, or the other guy who has issues with Brock (and the Taker if you think about it), The Nature Boy Ric Flair. Yes, I know I said NEW guys, but Flair would technically be NEW to the main event scene. I think the WWE HAS to have two new main eventers headline their second biggest PPV of the year if they are to be serious about pushing new guys with the Austin void as they say they are. Why do I have a feeling Jericho will win the tournament and HHH will be champ, setting up HHH v. Y2J part 234,543 though?

Oh, and I think it's obvious from Raw they are likely gonna do a Booker T and Goldust v. Big show and Xpac match, so if they do that, I say Booker and Dust win, Booker pins Xcrap.


2002 Crack Committee Objectives:
1. 94 Wins and the NL East title
2. Hate the Braves with a passion.
3. All 5 Starters have winning records this year
4. Mets win the World Series

Rev, Vince guaranteed the winner of the King of the Ring will face the WWE champ at Summerslam. So as it stands now it is Brock, RVD or Jericho as the logical choices vs HHH or Undertaker unless someone else wins the belt at next month's PPV which I do not think will happen.

if Flair is ever in the main event it should be him being executed Pearl style.

i cannot and do not want to sit though ANOTHER Ric, i take my bumps sideways, Flair.
his match vs Undertaker was horrific and every single match he is in is terrbile.
I hope him and Hogan die.
dont care how, just die

I'll start with the King of the Ring brackets.

Semi-Final #1: Rob Van Dam vs. Chris Jericho. Could be the best match of the card, if Jericho can keep RVD reigned in (which he should be able to). RVD goes over.

Semi-Final #2: Brockberg Lesnar vs. Test. Which big lug are they going to push? C'mon, Brock is gonna be forcefed to us, no matter if we like him or not. Test can do the job here, and will most likely still get yet another failed push down the road.

Finals: RVD vs. Lesnar. Lesnar wins all the way.
Now, the SMART thing to do, really, is to have RVD win here, and face the Undertaker for the title at Summerslam. There's history there, between the two men, a ready made angle that people care about. Plus, RVD is already ungodly over (UNLIKE Brock), so if they want to elevate new stars, they couldn't do better than pulling the trigger on the RVD world title push. The fans would go for it.

Lesnar, on the other hand, doesn't even have a FRACTION of the heat or popularity that RVD has. But the WWF has it in their mind that he is the next Goldberg (he's Brockberg, after all), so they'll push him to the moon....whether it's justified or intelligent to do so. This is the guy they were going to sacrifice Austin too, remember.

So, in review - smart thing to do is put over the popular RVD to set up an RVD / Undertaker program that the fans would love and would culminate in Van Dam title win at Summerslam. Dumb thing to do is have the largely heatless Lesnar win the KoR, pushing him to the moon. So what do you think the WWF will do? Brockberg wins. For 3 reasons: 1) He's getting the Goldberg / WCW 1995/96 era Giant push, 2) Rock is presenting the trophy (which almost guarantees a heel victory to set up conflict), and will presumably, god love him, put Brock over between now and August and 3) HHH. More on that in a minute.

Kurt Angle vs. Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
Hogan. So far, Hogan's win-loss record at the PPVs has been 1-2. He's jobbed to Rock, jobbed to Taker, won against HHH. They'll have him beat Angle here because Angle gains essentially nothing by winning. Neither does he get hurt if he jobs to Hogan. Hogan, however, could use the heat by going over Angle. So Hulk wins, simply because he needs the victory and it won't cost Angle anything to put him over.

Undisputed Title: Undertaker vs. HHH
Are you seriously thinking that HHH WON'T win the title back? I'm suprised they haven't put the belt back on him already. He's an absolute FAILURE as a face, his title reign was a joke, and he's a walking-wounded shell of his former self. Will that stop him from once again wearing the gold? Of course not. Never underestimate Hunter's ability to keep himself at the top of the food chain. Devoting a good quarter of Smackdown to him this past week should show you that much. Hunter walks away with the strap for two reasons. The first is a bullshit one that, since Austin left, RAW needs a top face to compete on the show (I don't think they'll just go with Rock), and Hunter - as champ - will fill the bill.

The other is Brock. Brock is being built up like Goldberg. He'll win King of the Ring, be put over the Rock in July, be made to be a monster - only to have Trips pin him at Summerslam, pulling off a Kevin Nash impression, leeching away all of Brock's heat a la Nash viz Goldberg at Starrcade. It wouldn't put it past Hunter to have planned this whole thing; build up Brock to be a monster, only to have him be the one to finally pin him. It's classic Hunter.

Ric Flair vs. Eddie Guerrero
It's been said before. Guerrero goes over with help from Benoit.

Women's Title: Stratus vs. Molly
Molly. And FUCK the WWF for their constant "fat-ass" jokes about her. Molly is better looking than 90% of the twats they have working for them, yet because she actually has a realistic (i.e. not surgically enhanced and / or bulimic / anorexic) body type, she's portrayed as fat or unattractive. Pathetic. But then again, what do you expect from a promotion that teaches that chastisty and virginity makes you a heel, or that hot 22 year olds want to have sex with a hideous 50 something like McMahon?

*** Rumored matches ***

Cruizerweight title: Helms vs. Jamie Knoble
I'd pick Noble. Hopefully, if this match happens, they're given time to show their stuff.

Booker T / Goldust vs. X-Pac / Big Show
If the writers have a brain in their collective heads - which they don't - they'll put Booker over. Of course, this is the Cliq he's dealing with, so fat chance of that.

Oh, and one more thing:

so from that i should ASSUME your a Hogan/Flair mark then, huh?

I apologize for voicing my opinion and how wwE is forcing Flair and Hogan down our throats with crap matches like Rock/Hogan, Flair/Undertaker, Hogan/HHH, Hogan?Angle, Flair/Eddie

yes Flair and Hogan were great 10 years ago.
its two thousand and fucking two.
no need to have two 50 year olds wrestle when they have a talented roster that should have the time on tv that Hogan and Flair waste every fucking week.
How much shit must the wwE writers rehash from WCW to finally make the rest of the fans realize that the two old fucks are over with and they've been over with since '97/98

i'd rather sit through a Xpac/Harcore match then watch the tragedy that will be Flair/Eddie and Hogan/Angle.

and if you must know, i prefered HHH back before his injury, while not a 'great tech wrestler' he was still entertaining and great as a heel.

remember its World Wrestling ENTERTAINMENT you want amazing wrestling goto Mexico or Japan.

and yes i do enjoy the Japan/Mexico crop of wrestlers when i get a tape available to watch.

I agree with most of the predictions already
stated, but i think rvd is getting the title shot
because it's too soon to give it to brock.

and whats with the flair bashing, he is fucking
miles beyond most of the wrestlers..especially
hogan who couldnt sell in a shoot fight. At the
age of fuckin 60 or whatever flair is he's still
the man. I put money on flair and eddy pulling
off one hell of a match sunday


i admire your honesty, hell i
like you, you can come over

WWE Undisputed Title Match
The Undertaker vs. Triple H
Winner: HHH I could see Taker turnig Face simply because he is a raw talent, and with Austin gone they need another Face there. Also HHH for the same reason because the Rock returning adds another face to Smackdown.

Hulk Hogan vs. Kurt Angle
Winner:Angle Hogan seems to have gotten the better of him for awhile now, so Angle's due. Plus, Angle can wrestle with anyone and make them look decent, so they may actually let him fued with Hogan up through SS too.

Ric Flair vs. Eddy Guerrero
Winner:Flair. Beniot will come to the ring and try to help Eddie, but I see this as the place the Rock comes down. Remeber, Benoit is Smackdown talent, so a Rock Benoit fued is not outside of the realm of possibility.

WWE Women's Title Match
Trish Stratus vs. Molly Holly
Winner: Trish Stratus

King of the Ring Semi-Finals
RVD vs. Chris Jericho
Winner: RVD

King of the Ring Semi-Finals
Brock Lesnar vs. Test
Winner:Brock Lesnar


King of the Ring Finals

Brock Lesnar vs RVD
Winner:RVD, with help from Bubba Ray after Heyman gets involved. Bubba's mother died, which is why he hasn't been on TV. I see him costing Brock KOTR and then getting into a fued with him to SS, where Brock cleanly pins him. If they are smart, they will build him slow, not give him the title shot right away. Hell, even Goldberg's push consisted of him wrestling his way to top over a few months. It served to build anticipation for his match for the title vs. Hogan. Brock losing because he was double teamed will not take his heat away.

Main event for summerslam I say is RVD vs HHH.

*** Rumored matches ***

Cruizerweight title: Helms vs. Jamie Knoble
I see mysterio involved here somehow. He already is wrestling dark matches, so he might debut here. The only question is will he be a face or a heel. If face then Helms wins, If he's a heel, Noble all the way.

Ok first ill list who i want to win, then ill list who i think will win. (i usually suck with these predictions, so dont put money on ANY of them)

Who I want to win
Undertaker
Kurt Angle
Eddie Guerrero
Semi Finals: Test
Semi Finals: RVD
Finals: RVD
Hurricane
Trish

Who Will win, and how
HHH, because it makes sense for him to win, for an NWO heel turn down the road. So he'll be the champ when he turns.

Hogan, because Angle has lost in a bunch of PPV's in a row, and i cant possibly see WWE putting Angle over here, because they want Hogan to win.

Flair, doesnt make sense for him to make one last run, starting last monday, only to lose his first match to Guerrero.

SemiFianls: RVD, Should be a great match, RVD has to win though, to get the face into the finals. I definitely see Jericho getting screwed by the refs like Lance Storm and Christian have already, and then join the Canadian faction on Smackdown next week (PTC: Prejudice Towards Canadians)

SemiFinals: Brockberg, WWE is pushing him to the moon right now, and i guess we'll be forced to watch and see if he can do something with Austin's ball. Will definitely get to the finals. Test will also join PTC next week.

Finals: Brockberg, RVD is already IC Champ, by WWE logic, he cant win this event to get the world title shot. I hope someone helps out RVD, but it wont happen.

Knoble, due to interference by the masked Rey Mysterio Jr., setting up a masked superhero against a masked supervillain.

Trish, who cares how.


Thanks to Austin for the pic

2002 Crack Committee Objectives:
1. 94 Wins and NL East Title by the Mets this year
2. Hate the Braves with a passion
3. All 5 Starters have winning records this year
4. Mets win World Series
5. Win 22 out of the next 30 games (starting on June 15th)


Crack Committee Members: Cluster F, Rageparty, Bloody Anus, DiamondDust, JayMohrMassage, HammerSavage, PeterDragon, and 1888RustyTrombone...the force is growing.

WWE Undisputed Title Match
The Undertaker vs. Triple H
Winner:Taker...it'll make sense at the end.

Hulk Hogan vs. Kurt Angle
Winner:Hogan...and I have a feeling, the way this match is being set up, that the "I am a real American" music is coming back.

Ric Flair vs. Eddy Guerrero
BATHROOM MATCH
Winner:Eddie Guerrero with help from Chris Benoit

WWE Women's Title Match
Trish Stratus vs. Molly Holly
Winner:Trish Stratus...I don't want to bother to explain. It doesn't matter to me either way.

WWE Cruiserweight Title Match
Jamie Noble vs. The Hurricane
Winner:The Hurricane. It's too early for a rookie like Noble to hold a title belt.

King of the Ring Semi-Finals
RVD vs. Chris Jericho
Winner:MATCH OF THE NIGHT...ROB VAN DAMN

Brock Lesnar vs. Test
Winner:Brock Lesnar...no need to explain why.

King of the Ring Finals
Brock Lesnar vs RVD
Winner:Brock Lesnar

Explaination and way to start to fix the WWE.
Now here's what I could see happening and working.

First off, Brock wins. The Rock comes down to award the King of the Ring trophy. Brock beats the living shit out of the Rock.

Second, END THE BRAND EXTENSION AS SOON AS THIS PPV IS OVER!!!

#3, set up a RVD-Taker matchup for Vengance, a rematch from Raw a few weeks back. Now that makes a great main event.

#4, set up Rock-Brock matchup for Vengance, a match I heard alot of people want to see, and I wouldn't mind it.

#5, RVD wins at Vengance, fights Brock with the title on the line at Summerslam. But Brock will be coming off a huge LOSS to The Rock. Then we see what happens.

I doubt any of that will happen, but it's worth a shot.
