ECW One Night Stand - Predictions

[CoTT]

WWE Championship - WWE Champion John Cena vs. Rob Van Dam
I have no doubt that Cena will retain here but it may not necessarily be a clean win. I can see this exploding into a WWE vs. ECW multiman inference brawl.
Prediction: Cena to retain

World Heavyweight Championship - World Heavyweight Champion Rey Mysterio vs. Sabu
Surely Rey will break his jobbing streak here with a decisive win.
Prediction: Rey Mysterio

Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton
I expect a strong Angle victory in order to get him over with his new fanbase.
Prediction: Kurt Angle

Mick Foley & Edge vs. Terry Funk & Tommy Dreamer
I see a defeat here for Foley and Edge to keep the ECW crowd happy. We'll probably see lots of bleeding and props in this one.
Prediction: Funk & Dreamer

Tazz vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler
I can't see King pulling out a win here considering this will probably be Tazz's last ever match.
Prediction: Tazz to win by choke-out

[Bishop]

Justin Credible and Dave 'Gangrel' Heath have been signed for ECW. I always liked Dave when he worked WWF in 1998-99 and it would be great to see the Impact Players again.

[CrazySauce]

WWE Championship - WWE Champion John Cena vs. Rob Van Dam
I am going out on a limb and saying that they are going to jump into this ECW thing head first.
Prediction: RVD

World Heavyweight Championship - World Heavyweight Champion Rey Mysterio vs. Sabu
Who the hell is Sabu? Guy with yellow troussers...
Prediction: Rey Mysterio

Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton
I would love to see Orton win, but I think WWE will give it to Angle.
Prediction: Kurt Angle

Mick Foley & Edge vs. Terry Funk & Tommy Dreamer
I think they will push Edge because he is going to fight Cena in the next payperview.
Prediction: Edge and Foley

Tazz vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler
Dumb match, obvious winner.
Prediction: Tazz

[''Powdernose'' Tully Blanchard]

Nobody likes Gangrel for his in ring work. Face the facts, everybody liked Gangrel for his entrance and theme.

[Selborne Boome]

WWE Championship - WWE Champion John Cena vs. Rob Van Dam

Prediction: Cena

World Heavyweight Championship - World Heavyweight Champion Rey Mysterio vs. Sabu

Prediction: Rey Mysterio

Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton
Angle will kick his ass!
Prediction: Kurt Angle

Mick Foley & Edge vs. Terry Funk & Tommy Dreamer

Prediction: Edge and Foley

Tazz vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler
The King after a piledriver
Prediction: Jerry lawler

[Quarez]

WWE Championship - WWE Champion John Cena vs. Rob Van Dam
They've thrown WAY too much money at Cena to let him lose the title to an ECW spot-monkey. Besides, I don't think Vince will throw the belt that can be traced that far back into the hands of Heyman.
Prediction: Cena all the way to get an even more hostile response then he did in Chicago

World Heavyweight Championship - World Heavyweight Champion Rey Mysterio vs. Sabu
Sabu as champ? No no no no no no no! He can't even land a descent chair shot anymore as he proved on Raw this past Monday. Sand Nigger is going down!
Prediction: Rey Mysterio

Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton
I would prefer to say Randy get over and jump straight into the main event picture on Smackdown, but I have a feeling that they'll give it to Angle to get him over in his new crappy home... I expect the match will be good though
Prediction: Kurt Angle

Mick Foley & Edge vs. Terry Funk & Tommy Dreamer
I won't even predict anything about this. I'll probably be fetching a new beer during this match, and just re-enter the room as the oldest of the mean bad men from WWE get pinned, just so the rednecks in the crowd can go home and rape their sisters, well knowing that everything is still fine and dandy...
Prediction: Funk & Dreamer, and a few more beers in my fridge...

Tazz vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler
Tazz will probably win here, by choking the life outta King. This will enable King to save face by claiming that Tazz cheated, like Angle did in the Royal Rumble a few years back...

Prediction: Tazz

[Dr. Kenneth Noisewater]

All I know is that one of these champs need to lose or this PPV won't shock anyone. I think and hope that Cena is going to do the J.O.B. to RVD, Rey will win and then WWE will have just one belt and Cena will beat whoever is champ at the moment, as much as it makes me cringe to think that Cena might wear the same belt that Ric Flair wore around his waist.

[I Wuv Jessica Alba]

Nobody likes Gangrel for his in ring work. Face the facts, everybody liked Gangrel for his entrance and theme.
I will never forget at the Royal Rumble many moons ago how a few fans in the front row were grooving to Gangrel's theme. To this day I still get a kick out of it.

[I Wuv Jessica Biel]

Since Vince is the booker...

Cena vs. RVD
Winner: Cena

Sabu Vs. Rey
Winner: Rey

Kurt vs. Orton
Winner: Could care less, not even sure why this is on the card when it's an "ECW" ppv.

Dreamer/Funk vs. Foley/Edge
Winner: Foley/Edge

Taz vs. King
Winner:King

Let's face it, Vince isn't having any of his boys losing.

Also, why the fuck would Gangrel be in the Impact Players with Justin Credible. That could be the dumbest fucking idea I ever heard. I never remember a vampire being in the Impact Players.
(Yes, I know Gangrel was in ECW as the Vampire Warrior. Those teeth came in handy).

[Liverlips McGee]

I think, I THINK that was two separate thoughts. On a related note, I highly doubt we will see Lance Storm return to the ring.

[The CandyMan]

Cena vs RVD
RVD wins but Cena gets the title back on Raw
Winner: RVD

Rey Mysterio vs Sabu
Mysterio but some drama with Heyman and a possible defection by Mysterio
Winner: Mysterio

Angle vs Orton
Angle wins with an Angle Slam through a table
Winner: Angle

Foley & Edge vs Dreamer & Funk
Foley and Funk in the ring last and Foley uses the mandible claw. Edge roles back in and hits Funk with a spear for the win.
Winner: Foley & Edge

Taz vs Lawler
Taz chokes out Lawler after surviving a pile driver
Winner: Taz

[I'm A Fucking Idiot]

Cena vs RVD
RVD wins but Cena gets the title back on Raw
Winner: RVD

Id say RVD wins, gets the new ECW world title, and a new wwe title is given to cena on the next raw, because he diddnt lose it in a wwe event

[FreshBase]

Sabu Vs. Rey
WINNER: Sabu

Cena Vs. RVD
WINNER: Cena

Angle Vs. Orton
WINNER: Angle

Foley & Edge Vs. Terry Funk & Tommy Dreamer
WINNERS: Foley & Edge

Taz Vs. Jerry Lawler
WINNER: Taz

[sayers king of kings]

WWE Championship - WWE Champion John Cena vs. Rob Van Dam
cena retains and mr PPV gets screwed by wwe again
Prediction: Cena to retain

World Heavyweight Championship - World Heavyweight Champion Rey Mysterio vs. Sabu
Sabu wins becomes the New ECW world champ sets up a series between sabu and RVD
Prediction: Rey Mysterio

Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton
kurt for the push.
Prediction: Kurt Angle

Mick Foley & Edge vs. Terry Funk & Tommy Dreamer
foley turns on edge and funk turns on dreamer and they kill the other 2 in one last funk-foley arse kicking
Prediction: no contest

Tazz vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler
Tazz aint got much left so think he gets the nod in this one
Prediction: Tazz to win by choke-out

(Yes, I know Gangrel was in ECW as the Vampire Warrior. Those teeth came in handy).
You stupid, STUPID piece of shit.

VINCE IS NOT BOOKING ECW. PAUL HEYMAN, YOUR SUPPOSED "GOD" IS, ALONG WITH TOMMY DREAMER.

And even if Vince DID have a huge hand in who wins, why the FUCK would he want his brand new, HIGHLY POPULAR "third brand" to job themselves, AS A BRAND, in their resurgence??? If Vince wanted to squash ECW, as you so loudly accuse on your fucking soapbox, don't you think he would have just taken it out of the public eye completely?

But he didn't, did he. No. He chose the man whose booking made ECW a huge success to begin with; he acknowledged ECW's greatness and popularity in history, allowing the most classic ECW matches to be viewed on wwe.com. THE FUCKING MAN GAVE ECW NETWORK AIRTIME WHEN NO ONE ELSE WOULD. He now has the opportunity to turn that same success into HIS OWN GAIN. That, my non-friend, is called "good fucking business".

Yeah yeah, I know--"The Invasion Angle". Shut up with that horseshit already. That wasn't designed to squash ECW as much as it was to squash WCW, and ECW came along for the ride unfortunately. Get over it. Look at the screen, J. LOOK AT IT. Who's that? That's right...The Sandman. Sabu. Tommy Dreamer. The bWo. Justin Credible. Need I go on, idiot? You're not seeing The Rock, Stephanie McMahon, etc. You're seeing the real ECW; the only thing missing is the rights to most of the original entrance themes--but just you wait.

As for Angle and Show? So fucking what. The other two brands were becoming overpopulated, and those who aren't getting much TV time now WILL. Is this Vince trying to "assimilate" ECW into the WWE by using two of his flagship stars? No. As you can clearly see, the two, storyline-wise, have become "Paul's boys" now. THEY have assimilated into ECW. Which I think is pretty fucking cool. I would watch ECW late Saturday nights and think to myself, "It would be cool to see _______ vs. ________", pitting WWE stars against ECW's.

For example: Mike Awesome vs. Big Show would tear the fuckin' roof off of the place. Trust me on that.

Maybe I got you all wrong, J. Maybe you're not a real ECW mark. I sure as hell am, and I'm not ashamed to say that I have faith in this new product.

[DecoyTantric]

Cena d. RVD

This one's going to be a really good match, actually. I predict a horrific Cena bladejob, reminiscent of his Judgment Day '05 I-Quit match against JBL. RVD is going to shine; nothing like his matches with Jerry Lynn, of course, but he will shine. Respect for Cena from the Hammerstein fans? Probably not. But he'll probably have earned it once the match ends.

Also, don't count out the possibility of seeing Cena defecting to ECW in a shocker to end all shockers....

Sabu d. Rey Mysterio

This is the title that will go bye-bye and become the ECW strap. Who better to give it to as the resurging champ than one of the most famous ECW champs in history. It'll be an interesting mix of spotfesting and luche libre styles; can't say it'll be a good match, but....

Funk/Dreamer d. Foley/Edge

Edge getting over for crowd heat won't work in the ol' bingo hall. Flaming tables won't be enough, if the match is to be as hardcore as the promos suggest. Expect the return of C4 planks in this motherfucker. Funk pins Foley. Foley "sees the error of his ways" and comes back to ECW...?

Angle d. Orton

Orton has shown fans that he can go hardcore (think Backlash '04). Angle has taken his style outside of the ring a few times and made it entertaining. Common sense says that the prized draft pick has to go over in his debut match.

Tazz d. Lawler

Come on. Too easy.

FBI d. Supercrazy, Tajiri, and...who was it again?

Other predictions:

If we don't see Mike Awesome face the Big Show, then we'll probably see yet another Awesome/Tanaka match, which is never a bad thing.

We probably won't see the Dudleys Sunday--but you never know, they might show up on any given Tuesday night after their Slammiversary match.

I predict we'll see a 3-way dance--Sandman v. Rhino v. Justin Credible.

[Selborne Boome]

Owned X 1000

[Everville23]

Crazy and Tajiri over Guido and Mamaluke
Tazz easily over Lawler
Funk and Dreamer over Foley and Edge
Angle over Orton (I still don't get this match...Angle did like, what, one show for ECW and all he did was show up)
Sabu over Mysterio via some sort of DQ or something so that Mysterio retains the title.
RVD over Cena via countout.

[adrock2099]

FBI , because they're actually going to be a part of ECW
Tazz
Edge and Foley
Orton
Rey
Cena, probably with a disputed ending.

[ROHMarkOut]

FBI
Tazz
Edge&Foley
Kurt Angle
Rey Misterio
RVD

[CrazySauce]

Who's buying the payperview?

[DecoyTantric]

Moi. Because I have money and shit.

[jackofalltrades]

super crazy and tajiri vs. FBI- im giving it to crazy and tajiri

taz vs. jerry lawler- no contest, taz in his last match is gonna go out in a blaze of fucking glory and choke lawler the fuck out

foley and edge vs. dreamer and funk- its gonna be dreamer and funk to put ecw over big style- i just pray to the good lord that they will wrap edge up in barbed wire and put him thru about a million flaming tables in the process to show him what extreme REALLY is

kurt angle vs. randy orton- kurt's been on a roll this year and its gonna continue at ONS- your olympic hero all the way

Mysterio vs. Sabu- i think it will be mysterio so wwe can keep at least one belt- but not before sabu almost kills him

RVD- John Cena- i know where all you guys are coming from with thinking that cena will win, but i just have a sneaking suspicion that it will be rvd. Remember rvd never even got a shot at the old ecw world title when he was the top guy at ecw, and i think it will be good business to give him the belt as it will give the new ecw maximum exposure and belief that they can compete with the wwe shows.

[CoTT]

Who's buying the payperview?

It's free over here.

[Dr. Kenneth Noisewater]

I (http://betweentheropes.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?p=129220#129220) will gurantdamntee that RVD will beat Cena and that Foley and Edge will beat Dreamer & Funk.

[CrazySauce]

Why are payperviews free in some places?

[Selborne Boome]

Also in SA :D

[Quarez]

Because some places ROCK!

Mike Awesome retired not too long ago so the chances of him showing up are slim.

My picks now...

John Cena over RVD
Sabu over Rey Misterio Jr
Mick Foley and Edge over Tommy Dreamer and Terry Funk
Kurt Angle over Cowboy Bob Orton Jr's son
Tazz over Jerry Lawler
Super Crazy and Tajiri over The FBI

[CoTT]

Why are payperviews free in some places?

They used to all be free on Sky Sports (UK & Ireland) because no-one would order them. Now about half of them are free because WWE is growing all the time over here. Soon I'd imagine they'll all be pay-per-view. Sky are trying to prevent this from happening because they fear interest in PPVs will drop if you have to fork out X amount of money every couple of weeks.

[krossface]

RVD vs. Cena....RVD plus the new ECW world title is born...(I.E. Shane Douglas and the NWA World Title)

Sabu Vs. Rey.... I think Rey. I like Sabu but his character isn't strong enough to carry the company right now unlike Angle or RVD.

Funk/Dreamer Vs. Edge/Foly....Funk/Dreamer...if they lose I think a full scale riot will occur.

Anlge vs. Orton...Angle without a doubt.

Tazz vs. Lawler....c'mon really. this match is just too fill up the card. Tazz 100%

FBI vs. Super Crazy/Taijri....another "filler"....Crazy and Taijri win.

Balls Mohoney vs. Masato Tanaka....possible show stealer here. Tanaka wins.

really wish they had the Benoit vs. Malenko match....damn WWE

[Dr. Kenneth Noisewater]

I (http://betweentheropes.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?p=129220#129220) will gurantdamntee that RVD will beat Cena and that Foley and Edge will beat Dreamer & Funk.


If only I could've placed bets on that. :(

[Liverlips McGee]

really wish they had the Benoit vs. Malenko match....damn WWE
Has anyone heard why this didn't happen? I was under the impression it was still going to take place.

[Big T]

I guess Benoit really, really wanted that time off.

[''Powdernose'' Tully Blanchard]

Supposedly Vince didn't dig the idea from the start, so Benoit figured why wait, and too the time off.

[CrazySauce]

i got 4/5, my best so far this year.

[Quarez]

I got drunk and stopped caring... Thank God for that! Rumor is a spot-monkey is champ now? God I hope not!
