[DLman91]

WWE Title: Eddie Guerrero vs. Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw

If they put the title on JBL, I will officially stop watching the WWE.

Winner: Eddie Guerrero


US Championship: John Cena vs. Rene Dupree

Cena will get the win, but I don't think this feud is over, which kinda sucks because Cena needs to go back to being a heel.

Winner: John Cena


Undertaker vs. Booker T

Gee, wonder who is going to win this one? I'm sick of the Taker and him beating all these people. He DOES NOT DRAW!! No new fans are going to come in to see the Undertaker, that had been proven times before. But, oh well.

Winner: (ugh) Undertaker


Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie

Oh WHY WHY WHY?!?! These 2 didn't suck enough last time, seriously throw some cruiserweights on here and make it a decent match instead of this crap. Anyways...

Winner: Torrie (yay)


Charlie Haas & Rico vs. Bob Holly and Billy Gunn

Want to talk about the death of the tag team division? How the hell does Billy Gunn still have a job? Who cares, every one knows that the "funny, crazy gay guy" and his straight as an arrow partner go over.

Winner: Haas and Rico

Chavo Guerrero vs. Jacqueline (for the FREAKING CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE!!!)

Ok jeez...this show sucks. I hope they draw about 20 PPV buys and never ever ever ever book this crap again.

Winner: Chavo (if there is a God)


The Dudley vs. Rey and RVD

Well, at least they Rey-RVD team is kinda new and exciting. Of course, you have to build heat for the heels though.

Winner: The Dudley


Oh, and Mordecai will beat whoever he faces

Should suck, nothing new.

[The Dude]

With a card like this, each match will have to be an hour long. *snicker*

Predictions:

Eddie vs. Bradshaw: Eddie's winning, no doubt about it. Bradshaw will lose and go on to main event Velocity.

Cena vs. Dupree: Cena. Dupree still needs some work.

Taker vs. Booker T: Taker, no doubt.

[kindred]

guererro , cena taker

is there gonna be any point watching this ppv it all seems a little too
obvious. i think all the champs at the moment are bringing some credibility to there respective titles (tag excluded) and if all can retain for another few months i reckon that will do nothing but goood for the whole product

[Papa Shango]

JBL v Eddie

Has to be Eddy.. If he retains against the likes of Kurt Angle at Mania, then I cant see him losing to JBL and the deadly 'Clothesline from Fox News'


Cena v Dupree

Cena.. uh.. just Cena


Taker v Booker
Taker obviously.. but i'll wager he turns Booker into some 'Mideon' type character... or maybe Mordecai will cost Taker the win?!


Thats my insightful look into what promises to be a dreadful PPV

[Y2J The King Of The World]

Man, does this PPV have "stinker" written all over it. I just want to reiterate that Smackdown's writers had TWO MONTHS to build this show, and this is the crap we're expected to shell out $35 for? Simply astounding...

WWE Championship: Eddie Guerrero vs. John Bradshaw Layfield
Talk about a soft main event. Eddie has *just* become a main event player in the last three months. That means he should be proving that he's meant to be there by defeating established top-tier stars. Unfortunately, Smackdown is lacking in that department, so we're treated to JBL. Don't get me wrong - Bradshaw's 10x more interesting and entertaining as a heel than he was in his stale APA gimmick, but nobody views him as a credible threat to Eddie's belt. But, at the same time, Eddie's not at a solid enough point that it seems improbable for him to lose the belt to a legit contender, as he's only defended the title against one top star: Kurt Angle. So, Eddie won't elevate Bradshaw from this match, nor will he be elevated himself. I think most people predict that JBL will lose this match, and get the "Hardcore Holly treatment" by being sent back to Velocity. While I wouldn't put this past WWE, it would be a waste of the last month-and-a-half to do that. But, they did it with Holly, so why not Bradshaw? I'm obviously torn. While I think that it'd make for a more interesting situation on Smackdown to have JBL as champion (as they despately need uppercard heels), I have to go with common sense and pick Eddie to retain.
Y2Tim's Pick: Eddie Guerrero

United States Championship: John Cena vs. Renee Dupree
Much like Guerrero, Cena's a new champion who's white-hot right now. Dupree has finally been booked to look like a legit threat to him. This match definitely has the potential to be the match of the night (not a huge accomplishment given the undercard). I'm thinking that, unlike Guerrero, Cena losing this belt won't do much damage to him, but will do wonders for Dupree. Plus, I can see this feud going past Judgment Day.
Y2Tim's Pick: Renee Dupree

The Undertaker vs. Booker T
The internal conflict begins: Booker T is the only credible top-tier heel on Smackdown who's healthy right now. A win for him here would put him in the WWE title picture. The Undertakier squashes everybody. He's become a special attraction who seldom does the job. My guess is Mordecai will play some sort of role here, or the dirt on the unmarked grave will have some real significance, because Booker needs this win, Smackdown needs Booker to win, and Taker won't look weak if there is some sort of exterior circumstance that causes him to lose. Let's hope Smackdown doesn't sink with the wrong choice.
Y2Tim's Pick: Booker T

Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie
I've missed Smackdown two weeks ago, so I don't know why we're going back to the days of Al Wilson here. Neither lady is an accomplished wrestler. If they were, they'd be vying for the Cruiserweight strap (haha). I really don't care about the outcome, as there is no point in women's matches on Smackdown, spare a bit of T&A.
Y2Tim's Pick: Torrie Wilson

WWE Tag Team Championship: Rico & Charlie Haas vs. Hardcore Holly & Billy Gunn
Talk about slapped together at the last possible minute! I expect this to be a Velocity-calibre match, with Rico pulling his usual antics. Plus, Holly beat the "ambiguously gay solo" on Smackdown, so a receipt is in order.
Y2Tim's Pick: Rico & Haas

Dudley Boyz vs. Rob Van Dam & Rey Mysterio
No table match? What the...?!?! At least that *might* generate a little interest in this PPV. I liked the direction the Dudleys were heading with their Heyman-influenced heel turn, but now I'm not sure how to feel. They've done everything they possibly can as a tag team, but neither were able to get very far as singles competitors. They're stale. RVD should be in the running for the WWE title, but is instead thrown into this throwaway feud. Mysterio seems to be waiting his turn until he can get involved in the US title picture, so he's just killing time, as well. I'm disinterested. I've had 3 face wins vs. 2 heel wins so far, so I'm going for "The Dudley...and The Dudley."
Y2Tim's Pick: The Dudleys

Cruiserweight Championship: Jacqueline vs. Chavo Guerrero
Damn bookers. Who thought this was a good idea? Message to WWE writing staff: putting a men's championship on a woman doesn't make the woman look strong, it makes the man who lost it and the belt itself look like a joke. The only way I'd ever condone this storyline is if Jacqueline started a movement to have a women's belt on Smackdown (so that the underused ladies on Raw like Jazz and Ivory can finally be used properly), and the provision was that if Jackie won, then the CW belt would be no more, and a new women's belt would take its place, but if Chavo won, then the CW division would remain, and be open to men only. A little battle of the sexes, if you will. Unfortunately, that storyline would take a month or so to develop, and they started this a week ago. So, it's a crap angle. Go Chavo!
Y2Tim's Pick: Chavo Guerrero

Overall, I don't have much in the way of expectations for this PPV. It'd be a stacked Smackdown card, but not a PPV calibre event. All I have to say is that WWE better have some big surprises in store, and the matches had better deliver big time for this to work.

[BackLash]

WWE Title: Eddie Guerrero vs. John Bradshaw Leyfeild
I loved what they did for Bradshaw, who was floundering in the APA. I know the WWE, wouldn't let Eddie lose, if not for the fact that Eddie just won the title, but storyline wise Bradshaw hurt his mom. Bradshaw got the better of him in the latter stages of the feud. It was Bradshaw who started all of this. And if the PPV is gonna sell at all JBL is going to have to lose. However, to drop JBL down to Velocity after all the hard work he and the writers put in would be senseless. Smackdown still lacks top heels, JBL is perfect for the upper-mid card. In time his wrestling will get better ant then he will be ready.
Winner: Eddie Guerrero


US Championship: John Cena vs. Rene Dupree
I thought when Dupree got to SD! he'd be treated better, no he's just cannon fodder for Cena. This is not a proper feud for either man and it's kind of bad. There is no real build up at all. Cena rips on heels, Dupree puts over the French, WHAT THE CRAP IS NEW?! I am not interested in this feud and says Dupree wins just to continue it.
Winner: Frenchy

Undertaker vs. Booker T
The feud was going great till the witchdoctor stuff. Still Booker went through all this trouble to get magic herbs and beat a hurt FBI just to not have any indication of loosing to Taker. Taker is barley there and Booker should go over and I also feel Mordecai will play a big role in this.
Winner: Booker T


Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie
Don't care, but Dawn's hot
Winner: Hot Dawn Marie


Charlie Haas & Rico vs. Bob Holly and Billy Gunn
To be honest Billy and Bob deserve the titles. They've been on Velocity week in and week out as a tag team winning, match after match after match. They never were transferred to Smackdown! and the majority of WWE viewers didn't see it. That being said Rico and Haas take it. Their gay-straight act can work with or w/o the Tag leather, but also it's just too soon for them to lose it.
Winner: Haas and Rico

Cruserwight Title: Chavo Guerrero vs. Jacqueline
Who the hell ever said any WWE title was only for on gender? Look at the history:
WWF World Title: I think Chyna had a title shot. If not the she was defiantly in the Royal Rumble Twice to go after it at Mania.
IC: Chyna won it
Hardcore: Terri, Molly Holly and Bobcat the Hardcore Ho
King of the Ring: Chyna competed in.

What makes this any different? Because she's a woman and anyone against this match knows it. No one can feed me that crap that she is small, Rey Mysterio is small and yet it's more realistic that he beats guys like A-Train, Billy Gunn, heck even Matt Hardy who are all bigger than him. She has talent and she can carry the championship well. I hope she wins it, because the fact of the matter is Chavito needs to go after the US title anyway.
Winner: Jacqueline

RVD and Rey Mysterio vs. The Dudley Boyz
Don't care, heads Dudleyz tails Team R. (Flips Coin)
Winner: The Dudleyz

[Chair Shot Fan]

WWE Title
JBL vs Eddie Guerrero

The whole program between these two has been perfect for the JBL character. I say Eddie retains, JBL gets dropped down (not to Velocity or anything, but I'd say he should be booked to go after the US Title)

Winner: Eddie Guerrero

US Championship
John Cena vs. Rene Dupree

Here's where I see things going. Cena is so over with the fans that dropping the belt will not hurt him. I think him even having the strap has taken away from him more for me. So I say Dupree wins the title, then rehashes a past angle by wanting to change the "US Championship" to the "Frenchie Championship", or whatever.

Winner: Rene Dupree

Tag Titles
Rico & Haas vs. Spark Plug & Rockabilly

Despite the fact that the challengers have been picking up wins off Smackdown, they have not been established or are credible enough in my mind to take the straps yet. The Dudleys are going to be going after the titles soon anyways, and the fact that Rico & Haas have a female escorting them = that female going through a table.

Winners: Rico & Haas

Cruiserweight Title
Chavo Guerrero vs. Jacqueline

Jacqueline comes off as an obnoxious, immature girl to me. "You got beat by a girl" taunts? I think if anything, that's discrediting her just as much as it is Chavo. Chavo's open challenge could have been answered by a returning Jeff Hardy. Or even Paul London. But NO. WWE bookers would rather give us this "entertainment". Yeah, entertainment my ass. So basically I don't see Chavo picking up the win here, especially after Chavo Sr. won on Smackdown.

Winner: Jacqueline (UGH)

Dudley Boyz vs. Rey Mysterio & RVD

Rey Mysterio & RVD are due the receipt here. But they aren't going to get it. I liked the whole "Dudley" thing this week, and establishing these guys as individual singles threats will help to keep things fresh in tag action, when one member of a tag team squares off against another in the ever-important PPV build-up.

Winners: Dudley #1 & Dudley #2

Torrie vs. Dawn Marie

I'm not sure what the set up is here. I'm just going with majority in saying Torrie.

Winner: Torrie "I Can't Act To Save My Life" Wilson

Undertaker vs. Booker T

This is definitely the toughest match for me to call on the card. Basically, Mordecai is all but confirmed to make his 'debut' at the PPV. I disagree with some people when I say that a loss here WOULD NOT hurt the Undertaker. He's had the big return at WM and one match since, that he definitely should be the winner of with a squash victory. I think Smackdown has made Booker T a viable opponent in having him defeat the same two competitors Undertaker did the week before. And with Mordecai's involvement, I think it should be more in the form of an assault on Paul Bearer or the urn than the Undertaker himself. WWE can't rush things with this program and have it runs its course within two weeks. The whole "Don't Mess With The Deadman" attitude needs to stay in place, as does the mystique of the character. A victory for Booker T wouldn't help with either at this point.

Winner: Undertaker

I think you are dead one with this one. Looks for Mordeci to perhaps spoil it for the Taker, claiming to want to put an end to the Lord of Darkness etc etc.

I also have to take exception to DLman91 saying that Taker can't draw. I don't know about you but there is a huge buzz everytime he comes out. He is quite easily one of the top 5 WWE superstars of all time when it comes to popularity.
