WWE SummerSlam 2011 Predictions

Hello friends! Tomorrow night is WWE's biggest party of the summer SummerSlam! The 24th annual event will be live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA! As of now only 5 matches are officially on the card with the possibility of 1 maybe 2 impromptu matches! But for right now I am only going to give you my thoughts on the 5 official matches on the card! So here goes!

Daniel Bryan vs. Wade Barrett

Honestly this is a tough match to call as this 1 could go either way as both men could use the win here! I mean Daniel Bryan needs the win to continue his roll after winning the Smackdown MITB match last month and Wade Barrett needs the win to climb back up the ranks and perhaps get back into that main event scene that he was in last year! So who wins? Well I'm going to go with Daniel Bryan to win this match as he is the hotter hand right now! Should be a solid match!

Winner: Daniel Bryan

WWE Divas Championship Match: Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix

For me this is the easiest match to call as I expect the Glamazon to capture the Divas title in what will most likely be the worst fight of the night and perhaps slowly but surely bring some credibility back to the Divas division as for the 1st time in a long time the Divas are fun to watch but easy there Romeo let's see how long this actually lasts!

Winner: Beth Phoenix

Sheamus vs. Mark Henry

So it looks like WWE is pushing Sheamus as a babyface now. Not really sure about this move but we shall see as I think Sheamus is better off as a monster bad ass heel but then again that's how WWE has been pushing Mark Henry for the last few months now! So who wins here? Well Henry needs the win more let's not kid ourselves now while a loss shouldn't hurt Sheamus. So with that I am going to take a chance here and go with the World's Strongest Man to win this match and perhaps lead to another battle down the line but for now I'll go with Henry to win this 1!

Winner: Mark Henry

No Holds Barred Match for the World Heavyweight Championship: Christian vs. Randy Orton

Next to Punk and Cena this has been the best feud in WWE today! The matches that these 2 have had have ranged from great to awesome with the exception of their last match last month at the Money In The Bank PPV! Now as much I have enjoyed their battles over the last few months personally I think that this feud is starting to run it's course and with that I am personally hoping that this will be the blowoff match here but I have a funny feeling that we will most likely get 1 more match between these 2 at the Night Of Champions PPV next month but anyways! Now there have been rumors circulating that Edge may show up and help Christian win as Christian said at the end of the last Smackdown that he has a big surprise for Randy Orton in their match and if that is the surprise then all I can say are these 3 words - Mark out moment!!! In a way this is another tough 1 to call as this is another match that can go either way but I am going to take a chance here and go with Christian to barely retain as I think WWE should give him a good run with the strap and to take it off him after a month would be just like what TNA did to Mr. Anderson!

Winner: Christian

Undisputed WWE Championship Match: CM Punk vs. John Cena

First and foremost the best thing going in WWE today! Okay now that I got that off of my chest let's get down to business shall we? Last month at the Money In The Bank PPV these 2 absolutely stole the show and gave us all a match for the ages! Me, my 2 partners in crime Mike Flecha and Derek Ferreira, and the Wrestling Observer Newsletter all gave the match a 5 star rating and for good reason as Punk and Cena put on a Wrestling masterclass and in the process did the unthinkable by overtaking HHH and Undertaker from WrestleMania 27 as the new frontrunner for WWE Match of The Year for 2011 that's how awesome and epic that fight was! Now the build for this fight was not as great as the build for the last match until that awesome and epic contract signing at the end of last Monday's Raw as both men really shined on the mic and said some things that we didn't think were going to be said! The only thing that I am worried about in this 1 is the addition of new WWE COO HHH as the special guest referee. 1 theory suggests that HHH enters himself in the match and that he becomes the new champion and if that were to happen then let the riots begin! Anyways the casual and old school wrestling fans are pushing for Punk to win the belt while the younger fans are pushing for Cena to win the belt! So who wins? Wow this is tough but I am going to once again take a chance here and go with CM Punk to walk out of LA as the Undisputed WWE Champion and hopefully if that happens please give him a significant run with it and also please get rid of that bling bling sideshow known as the spinner belt and bring back the Old School Winged belt or create a brand new WWE title that does not look like a bling bling sideshow. But watch out for not only Hunter but also Mr. Money In The Bank from Raw Alberto Del Rio to possibly cash in and win the belt! So many scenarios and possibilities but all I can say is let's just watch and enjoy as I expect this to be another instant classic! I hope!

Winner: CM Punk

Barring an impromptu match or 2 this has potential to be another great WWE PPV as last month's Money In The Bank PPV was widely regarded as 1 of the best PPV's in a long long time that's how great it truly was! Speaking of the impromptu matches I see Rey Mysterio vs. The Miz added to the card and if so then I like Rey Rey to win that fight and also watch out for possibly Dolph Ziggler vs. Alex Riley for the U.S. title and if so then I like Ziggler to retain there! Overall it looks like another great card and hopefully both World title fights live up to the hype especially Punk and Cena as they have a very tough act to follow coming off their epic and unforgettable 5 star battle last month!

OK that is my preview of SummerSlam thanks so much for reading along and be sure to join me on my Tony Rants blogsite tomorrow night as I will have a complete recap of SummerSlam and also be sure to check out my longtime friend Derek Ferreira's YouTube channel (slb200809) as he will have a complete video recap of SummerSlam!

So until then you know the routine everybody! Thumbs up talk to you later! YEAH!!! Bye bye for now!

TNA Hardcore Justice 2011 Predictions

Hello friends! Tomorrow night TNA/Impact Wrestling will present their 2nd annual Hardcore Justice PPV live from the Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida! 9 matches are on the card so now without further adu here are my predictions!

3 Way Match for the TNA X-Division Championship: Brian Kendrick vs. Alex Shelley vs. Austin Aries

This 3 way has potential to be something truly special as all 3 of these guys can work! Kendrick won the belt last month at Destination X by beating Abyss. Shelley is a former X Champ when he defeated his tag team partner Chris Sabin at the 2009 Genesis PPV and Aries who is coming off winning the contract in that awesome 4 way final at Destination X last month has never been X Champ before! So who wins well right now I have to go with the hottest hand of these 3 and that is Austin Aries because based on the way this feud is being booked I really think that Aries is going to win the belt here in some kind of overbooked finish.

Winner: Austin Aries

TNA Women's Knockout Tag Team Championship Match: Ms. Tessmacher and Tara vs. Rosita and Sarita

For me I would probably consider this the worse of the 2 Knockout fights on the card and also 1 of the worst fights of the night because I don't expect anything special coming from this 1 if I'm being honest. But since I have to pick winners here I will go with the champs to retain here mainly because they just won them and I think it would be a little too soon to take the belts off of them.

Winners: Ms. Tessmacher and Tara

Bound For Glory Series Match: D'Angelo Dinero vs. Devon

For me I am going to call this the worst fight of the night mainly because none of these BFG Series matches have been any good and also this is a feud that I really really don't give 2 craps about if I'm being honest. So since I have to pick a winner here I will go with Devon mainly because of his stunning and shocking victory over AJ Styles on the last Impact Wrestling show.

Winner: Devon

TNA Women's Knockout Championship Match: Mickie James vs. Winter

Just the other night my partner in crime Mike Flecha called me up and we talked Wrestling for a bit and 1 of the topics that came up was this match because we are both going on the record here by saying that this had potential to be 1 of the best Knockout matches in quite some time because of how super talented these 2 ladies really are! Very tough to pick a winner here but since I do I will go with Winter to steal the belt here thanks to interference from Angelina Love and by the way I think that Mickie has held the belt just a bit long enough. Should be a very good match though!

Winner: Winter

TNA World Tag Team Championship Match: Beer Money Inc. vs Mexican America

OK the Fortune mark in me really wants to see Roode and Storm retain here mainly because of how boring the Mexican America stable really is. But because of nagging injuries to both Roode and Storm I will relunctantly go with Mexican America to steal the belts here thanks to interference from Rosita and Sarita.

Winners: Mexican America

Bound For Glory Series Match: Crimson vs. Rob Van Dam

To be quite honest I'm a little shaky and iffy about this match because part of me thinks it has potentil to be good while another part of me thinks it's going to be the usual ho hum BFG Series match that we have been used to seeing on Impact Wrestling week in and week out. Another tough call here but since TNA has been building Crimson as an undefeated wrestler I will go with Crimson to get the win here thus continuing his push!

Winner: Crimson

Fortune (AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, and Kazarian) vs. Immortal (Abyss, Gunner, and Scott Steiner)

Again the Fortune mark in me really wants for Fortune to win this match but because of the drama between AJ and Daniels on the last Impact Wrestling I am relunctantly going to go with Immortal to steal the win here after some kind of miscommunication between AJ and Daniels which if that should happen could lead to an implosion within Fortune which is something I really do not want to see because I have really enjoyed watching the Fortune stable since Daniels was added!

Winners: Immortal (Abyss, Gunner, and Scott Steiner)

Mr. Anderson vs. Bully Ray

For me this is the toughest match to call because both guys could really use the win here. Anderson could use it to get back on track after losing the TNA World Heavyweight Championship to Sting on Impact Wrestling a few weeks ago. While Bully Ray could use the win to elevate his status into the Main Event scene. Really is tough to call as anything can and will happen on any given night but because of how uber over Anderson is I will take a chance here and go with Anderson to barely pull this 1 out.

Winner: Mr. Anderson

TNA World Heavyweight Championship Match: Sting vs. Kurt Angle

OK the build for this fight has been fairly decent at best. What I'm worried about though is that the last few main events Sting has been in on PPV have not been anything to really write home about as they have been brutal to watch. However with Kurt Angle involved suddenly this has potential to be 1 of the better main events we have seen in some time. Another tough 1 to call in all honesty but I am going to take a big chance here and go with Kurt Angle to win the title here mainly because of Sting's new role with "The Network" and oh by the way it's been quite a while since Angle has held the belt anyways.

Winner: Kurt Angle

Overall it looks like a middle of the road PPV at best as some of these matches are probably going to be bad Impact Wrestling matches at best while some of these matches do have potential to be special. But for now we will just have to wait and see.

Alright that will do for it my predictions thank you guys so much for reading along and be sure to join me on my Tony Rants blogsite after the PPV as I will provide a complete recap of Hardcore Justice and also be sure to check out my other partner in crime Derek Ferreira's YouTube channel (slb200809) tomorrow night as well as he will have a complete video recap of Hardcore Justice and then from there be sure to join mr right back here on this blogsite next Saturday night as I will have my predictions for the biggest party of the summer SummerSlam so until then you know the routine everybody.
