Wow, another pay
per view tonight. It seems like we just had one three weeks ago,
oh wait we did, Summer Slam.
I remember when this pay per view was called Unforgiven, but now it’s called Breaking Point. And
this show has quite a few submission matches. The worst part of predicting
tonight’s show is that there a few matches that are so unpredictable that I
haven’t a clue which guy to go with. I have a feeling that this is going to be
one of my weakest showings in awhile. With that said I’m still excited about
sharing my picks with you and I’m so happy to have received so many of your
predictions and don’t forget keep them coming. I will do my best to answer each
one before the show. Okay wish me luck because here they are.
C.M. Punk vs. Undertaker in a submissions match for
the World Heavyweight Championship
Why not start out with one of the
toughest picks for me? I still don’t know which way I am going here. See a part
of me says you have to go with Taker. It’s his first pay per view match since
he left back in April. AH, but another part of me says, come on let Punk keep
that title, he just got it back from Jeff Hardy and why
take it from him after only 3 weeks? But wait, let’s not forget that this is a
submission match, and Taker has never submitted to anyone in his entire WWE
career. Sure that just adds to my confusion. Oh I am in a major dilemma here.
Well before I tell you my final answer, let me just say I expect this one to
end the show and if it doesn’t I will be very surprised. I look for this match
to be quite the crowd pleaser and I’m very anxious to see how Punk and Taker
work together. The man leaving with the World Heavyweight Title will be…CM Punk. You got to think that Vince will leave that title on him
maybe until the next pay per view, which will be Hell In A Cell.
Winner: CM Punk
Randy Orton vs. John Cena in an
"I Quit" match for the WWE Championship
Hey don’t think that this one is
an easy either. I’m going with Cena for the win. See my thinking is this is a perfect
match for the heel to cry out I QUIT. I
mean if Cena did it would kind of erase that Super Cena that Vince gives us
week after week. But if Orton quits I could see him doing it with reluctance,
with anger, but at least doing it. So Cena becomes the new WWE
champion and Randy Orton will demand a
rematch and I do mean DEMAND one for the Hell In Cell pay per view. I did not
like Cena/Orton at all at Summer Slam, so I have to believe that this one will
definitely be an improvement.
Winner: John Cena
DX vs. Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase in a "Submission Count Anywhere" match
DX wins! No wait Legacy wins! Okay
next match. I’m only kidding here, Honestly I feel that DX is going to win, but
I’m going with Legacy. Here’s why. At the end of the main event on
Monday’s Raw, DX ended things with Hunter putting the Sharp Shooter on Randy
Orton, and Shawn hitting Masters with the Figure Four. See that makes me think
since DX got to use both finishers we aren’t going to see an encore tonight
with DX making Legacy submit. And I really would love to see Rhodes and DiBiase
win one against DX. Can you imagine if Legacy won, and Orton lost how that
story could unfold in weeks to come? DX can always get the upper hand at the
Hell In A Cell pay per view. I loved these four at Summer Slam and I’m looking
forward to another very good match tonight. By the way the real fun could come
if DX wins. We all know how many of the Montreal fans feel about HBK. So let’s
just say that he puts Rhodes or DiBiase in a Sharp Shooter can you imagine the
reaction the fans will give him? Oh this could be a lot of fun, but I’m still
sticking with Legacy.
Winner: Legacy
Christian vs. William Regal for
the ECW Title
The only thing I want to know is
if this will go more than eight seconds. I would think it definitely will and
I’m going with Regal for the win. I figure he has this new stable with Kozlov
and Ezekiel and what’s the point in having them out there again if Regal
doesn’t benefit from it. I see this match being a solid bout and even though it
will go on for longer than eight seconds I don’t expect it to last more than I
would say 10 minutes. While I could see Tommy Dreamer trying
to help Christian, I think Regal’s guys will come out ahead and help give their
leader ECW Gold.
Winner: William Regal
Chris Jericho and
Big Show vs. MVP and Mark Henry for the
Unified Tag Titles
There is no doubt in my mind that
I finally have one right. Jericho and Show will definitely win. There is no way
in hell that MVP/Henry will leave with the titles. With Jericho and MVP in this
one, the match should turn out okay. Hell even with Henry and Show this should
be a very entertaining match. I hope it’s half as good as some of Jericho and
Show’s matches against Cryme Tyme. If we get
a match like any of those matches then we are in for a treat.
Winners: JeriShow
Kofi
Kingston vs. The Miz for the United
States Title
Here’s another match that I will
get right, oh I will. The Miz will finally get his wish and become the new U.S.
Champion. This match was added at the last minute, I guess replacing the
Morrison/Ziggler match. Now that was a match I wanted to see. But my friend,
Nick Malone host of Over The Ropes had a very good point about why he thinks
their match was scratched. He said that you couldn’t put that match on and keep
the belt on Morrison, which then would make Ziggler a three-time loser going
for this title. What credibility would Mr. Ziggles have then? And if Ziggler
won, then Morrison winning over Rey and holding the title for a week was a
joke. I totally agree with Nick on both points, so I can see why they might
have scrapped that one. But this U.S. title match should be damn good and I’m
looking forward to it. I think these two guys are evenly matched and I look
forward to a very fast paced match.
Winner: The Miz
The Great Khali
vs. Kane for in a Singapore Cane match
Wasn’t their match at Summer Slam
enough? Obviously not. I think I look more forward to the Singapore canes than
I do watching these two in the ring. Okay to make it short but sweet, Khali
wins. Well he should since Kane beat him three weeks ago.
Winner: Khali
Okay I just want to remind all of
you that I got all but one right three weeks ago, so tonight when I get two
right just remember that I owned Summer Slam. Seriously I will be back with my
Raw and Breaking Point thoughts Tuesday or Wednesday, and very quickly let me
tell you the rumor regarding Batista. The latest
rumor is that Dave will announce that he’s moving to SmackDown!. If it’s true
that works for me. Also I’m really excited to see Trish hosting Raw it should
be a good show.
