    Ugh, went from 4th to 10th. I knew I was in trouble though, and had no confidence in my picks. Hopefully I'll do better at HiaC.

    Ok new picks are in and i am confident that this my third ppv will get me enough points to be beating everyone who has only picked one.

    Ok, seriously, fuck some of these matches. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE THAT TRIPLE THREAT WWE TITLE MATCH.

    Hrm, not as clear cut this time, but we'll see. Guaranteed 2 points though as Miz and Truth WILL be there, it wouldn't work for them not to be.

    Are you serious? It all seemed pretty predictable to me. But I suppose I could get it all wrong.

    Well, let's look at it.

    Sin Cara vs Sin Cara: It'd be logical to have the evil one win here to continue a feud but it's the WWE who knows.
    Beth vs KK: KK has won twice it'd be nice to throw Beth a bone (and also a title) but it's the WWE who knows.
    Sheamus vs Christian: Sheamus kills Christian. Anything else is a bad outcome.
    Henry vs Orton: Henry should win but this is Orton so who knows.
    Cena vs ADR vs Punk: Seriously what is even going on here. And there'll be all kinds of interference from everybody and their mother (and Shelton Benjamin's mother) so it's all up in the air.

    I would offer my opinion but realistically it would just be more picks to avoid.

    Edit: lets make this post useful by pointing out that broski t-shirts are 40%-48% off on wwe.com for the weekend.

    So, something I meant to ask about when WWE announced their network, and we were all talking about programming...

    One thing I was thinking about was from the ads for the Bobby Heenan DVD, which had him with his own talk show. Unlike other WWE "talk shows" (Piper's Pit, Cutting Edge, etc.) this seemed to have a real talk show-styled set-up, like Leno or Conan or something, complete with a live studio audience:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHtUXW39feg

    Seems Vince had one, too, as seen at the start here:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsI-eYAQgP4

    Thing is, these were before my time, and I'm genuinely curious about them. Were these in some sort of studio? It's just hard to imagine WWE doing something like this now, at least when they're on the road. But maybe stuff like this could round out the programming a bit?

    I'd love to hear thoughts from those who remember this stuff, including who might be a good fit for it now.

    If I'm still champ by the time Royal Rumble comes around that is when you should cash in Geebs. Dethrone me on my favorite PPV to make the victory all the sweeter.

    In any sane minded company they would keep Miz and Truth off the broadcast PPV and TV in general long enough for their "firing" to feel like something with a build, a story that arcs and earns a payoff.

    WWE is not a sane company.

    Couldn't give a fuck about the Hell in a Cell PPV results even if I was strapped to a fuck givng machine. All I want is CM Punk to be champ again.

    Aww I'm so bad at this...

    These are my exact feelings. I went with ADR by Pin over Cena though.

    Sin Cara vs Sin Cara: probably not going to be stretched because I don't think they want Mistico around much longer.
    Beth vs KK: Vince and Co reportedly believe Kelly has been getting over lately as champ.
    Sheamus vs Christian: Not a HIAC I believe, so Christian by DQ
    Henry vs Orton: Its a HIAC, so Orton by pin
    Cena/ADR/Punk: They didn't think ADR was working as champion, I can't see them jumpiing back to it so quickly, and Punk still needs to be over so Cena over ADR.

    The only picks I'm not sure about are Del Rio winning, the Beth match, and Sin Cara

    I think they're gonna give Sheamus the win, just because it's against Christian

    I went with Christian just because conspiracy


    same with ADR

    Beth should win, but WWE

    Henry should win if they want to keep him at this monster heel level he's at right now

    If ever there was a guy that screamed 2 week champion, its Henry.

    I almost picked Henry to win, simply because Orton was the last one standing before a PPV, and that normally spells doom

    But then I remembered I was picking Henry to win a World title match for 2 PPVs in a row, and I thought better of that

    I don't see Henry keeping the belt either.

    Orton has a DVD to sell.

    they've built up henry a lot though, and sheamus could get into a pretty good feud with him over the title

    orton and cody rhodes have been putting on great matches lately and they could probably have a really nice feud that could keep orton distracted long enough to let someone else feud at the top for a while

    especially with the reactions sheamus has been getting
