Welcome readers, to the Wrestling
Envy pay-per-view predictions. It's the time of
the month again where me and Gary put our necks
out and make a guess at what's going to happen. I
always mention it, and there'll be no change here
either; my Backlash predictions were 100% correct!
:) Anyway, now I've boasted it's onto the
predictions...
World Wrestling Federation
Championship
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Chris Benoit vs.
Chris Jericho
Ah. A tough one. For a while now
I've been considering this match a major
opputunity for the WWF to turn Chris Jericho heel
but with Triple H now out, I can't see it
happening. This will be a good match as all three
men are great workers that can and I'm sure will
put on a very good show. The outcome of the match
will be surrounded in controversy as Austin will
tap out to both the Crippler Crossface and the
Walls of Jericho at the same time - leaving the
PPV at a cliff hanger. Then the match will be
forced to continue by Vince McMahon or someone.
Now, because of Vince's ultimatum over Austin's
alliance, Austin will win. Stone Cold will most
likely intervene after Chris Jericho has hit a
Lionsault on Benoit - pinning Benoit to retain
the title.
Winner: Stone Cold Steve Austin
Light Heavyweight Championship
Jeff Hardy vs. X-Pac
To cut a long story short, X-Pac
will win this one. Don't ask me how, but there
has to be controversy for there to be a feud
between the two - and this usually means the heel
winning via interference. This would probably
come from Albert or Justin Credible with a
distraction and an X-Factor to finish Jeff off,
for the three-count and the Light Heavyweight
Title. Game, set and match.
Winner: X-Pac
Street Fight Match
Shane McMahon vs. Kurt Angle
Here we go again: Crazy bump alert!
Crazy bump alert! Once more, we see Shane O'Mac
in another match where he can show off his crazy
bumping "skills" - but this time he has
an opponent that can bump with the best of 'em -
Kurt Angle. You saw the moonsault from the top of
the steel cage against Benoit, right? Point
proven. The best match of the night for sure. So
many possibilities for WCW Invasion for a nice
set-up for the following PPV. Shane will win
after receiving help from some of his WCW
employees. Easy.
Winner: Shane McMahon
King of the Ring Tournament:
Semi Final
Christian vs. Kurt Angle
Good ol' Kurt is gonna win this
one, giving him a slight chance of winning back
to back King of the Ring crowns.
Winner: Kurt Angle
King of the Ring Tournament:
Semi Final
Edge vs. Rhyno
This one is going to a battle of
Spear against the Gore - the match will end with
this angle within, and the Gore will win - so
Heyman can shout it - GORE! GORE! GORE!
Winner: Rhyno
King of the Ring Tournament:
Final
Kurt Angle vs. Rhyno
So then, the final. I don't really
know how this will be won and I doubt the final
will be Angle vs. Rhyno also. But anyway, Angle
will attempt an Angle Slam but Rhyno will roll
out of it. As Angle spins to look for Rhyno, he
will get GORED. Winner.
King of the Ring Winner: Rhyno
Confrontation
The Undertaker vs. Diamond Dallas Page (Stalker)
The WWF has probably not made a
sanctioned match out of this because they don't
want either wrestler's reputation damaged if one
beats the other. This will just be a brawl to the
end. So then, who can win the match if there's no
match...
Winner: No Contest

Hello Fans!
I am back with my KOTR predictions. We all know
last month my amazing display of getting 6 of the
7 matches corrrect. Therefore that is a high
standard to follow but Ill try…..read
on, and enjoy.
Stone Cold Steve Austin Vs Chris Jericho Vs
Chris Benoit
Austin all the way on this one.
The only other thing I could see happening would
be Jericho and Benoit winning it at the same time
with there double submission move, and then the
belt being vacant and a tournament featuring WCW
Wrestlers held at Invasion. But I doubt that’ll
happen. Or maybe they could turn Y2J heel after
the match and he could beat down on Benoit –but
that probably won’t happen as we’ve
seen Benoit – Jericho so many times before.
Another thing I’m curious about is Vince
saying either SCSA wins or there through. Now WWF
doesn’t usually run an angle like that
unless it means something, so that’ll be
something to look closely at. But in the end I
think WWF are going to want to keep SCSA as
champion so I’m gonna go with a clean Austin
victory – Yes a clean one, I can’t see
any major interfearence here.
Winner: Stone Cold Steve Austin
Undertaker – DDP Confrontation
Expect a lot of run ins from WCW
Wrestlers, and WWF Wrestlers in this ‘confrontation’
, It should be an interesting little segment.
This will ultimately set up a match between the
two men at Invasion.
Jeff Hardy Vs X-Pac
I’m a little suspicious about
this match. When was the last time WWF had a LW
Title match on PPV???
The answer my Gazmission reading friend is April
2000! So why do one out of the blue with no real
story line leading up to it? Because something
will happen, alas I don’t know what –
but something will….something.
Winner: Jeff Hardy
Kurt Angle Vs Shane McMahon – Street
Fight
Many people are saying this match
is only being staged for another big bump by
Shawn McMahon – but sorry all you hardcore
fans, it won’t happen and here’s why.
Shane needs to be on WWF TV all the time next
month to promote his WCW company and Invasion
where WCW Wrestlers will be. Therefore unless he’s
got some HHH recovery medicine then he’s not
gonna be better within a few weeks. But I think
Shane will win this with help from DUBBA C DUBBA.
Winner: Shane McMahon
KOTR Tournament
Rhyno Vs Edge – Christian Vs Kurt Angle
The winner of this whole tournament depends on
when on the card Kurt Angle Vs Shane is. Because
in nearly every scenario Kurt Angle is going to
be wrestling 2 matches back to back. I think if
this match happens before the street fight which
it probably WON’T then Shane will interfear.
But more realisticly Kurt will be so banged up
after the street fight he’ll lose anyway.
Rhyno will win because Paul Heyman has had great
backstage pull lately and is rumoured to be
writing a lot of the story lines and we all know
how big he is on Rhyno therefore it’s gonna
be Rhyno for the KOTR win.
Winner: Rhyno
