The Graduate

There comes a time where students leave their education and graduate, and go do their own thing, over the past 2 weeks we have seen the graduation of Alex Riley from being The Miz's apprentice/CEO of corporate relations and to now fly on his own.

When the draft was made and Riley was heading to SmackDown, I was excited for him, as I knew that Alex Riley was ready to go solo, Alex has it all, he is, no pun intended, The Total Package, he can talk on the mic, he has charisma, he is entertaining and importantly, he can wrestle. Let us not forget that Riley is a former FCW Champion, FCW is the development territory for WWE before they get the call up to the big leagues.

Looking at the brawl that Miz and Riley had 2 weeks ago on Raw was more than anyone was expecting, majority of people, myself included, were thinking that it was going to be Miz who turned on Riley for all the screw ups of late, however, WWE decided to give a “Rookie” the opportunity to beat up the previous WWE Champion, and in impressive fashion too, for a beatdown/brawl, this was one of the better ones that WWE has done in quite some time.

Monday's brawl was also cool, because it showed that Alex Riley can fight back from being assaulted and even being called a “Bastard” by Michael Cole of all people. Things are looking up for Alex Riley, he's been given a rock/metal anthem to enter the arena too, and generally when WWE gives major songs to Superstars, they intend to push these guys as far as possible, and in Riley's case, he can be a WWE Champion within 2 years in my opinion, it looks like Riley will meet The Miz at Capitol Punishment, which could be a show stealer that night.

I really hope that Alex Riley does get this push now, and that it lasts after his pending match with The Miz, and that he isn't buried by The Miz and forgotten about once Capitol Punishment is over, but I think that the sky is the limit is for Alex Riley.

The Heel-ing Process

A lot of people say that change can be a good thing, and in the world of Professional Wrestling this is certainly true, a change of scenery or a simple change of attitude can bring a person out of obscurity and right into the spotlight.

Look at R-Truth, whose face run on Raw made me give him the name “The Filler” as he was the man they just inserted into many matches or angles to develop a challenger for John Cena, Truth was always the friend of the champion, yet was always overlooked for a title shot, even for the U.S. Title, he was not granted a chance to be considered a main contender, when he was in contendership matches, like the Elimination Chamber, Truth was always the first guy eliminated from them, and usually very quick too. By simply turning Truth into a jealous heel, pushing the PG barrier and stop pleasing all the “Little Jimmy's” out there in the WWE Universe, by doing this, Truth has gone from being a guy who only had a bit part role on Raw to now being the probable next number one contender for the WWE Championship at Capitol Punishment, the man is the same as he was when face but by simply changing his attitude and direction, a grade A heel is born and now Truth has gone to obscurity to the main event of Raw, probably for a while now.

Another good example of this would be Bubba Ray Dudley, AKA Bully Ray, probably one of the best tag team wrestlers in history, yet his WWE singles career was forgetful to say the least, after the TNA switch and Team 3D win 24 tag team titles and they are set to retire from wrestling, BOOM, there's the heel turn by the now Bully Ray, now he may not be the number one contender for the TNA / Impact Wrestling World Heavyweight Title, but, he is being pushed as the biggest heel in that company, and seemingly has Tommy Dreamer as his puppet too. Looking at it this way, when a tag team is split and they have a rivalry, it is always the heel that gets the big push, look back to Strike Force, Rick Martel got “The Model” gimmick and had his “Arrogance”, I still think that Martel could have been used better and should have been a singles champion in WWF. Look at Shawn Michaels, probably the best example of this, The Rockers split on the Barber Shop, Shawn goes on to being, arguably. The greatest star in the history of WWE, and in TNA's case with Team 3D, Bully Ray is the example of this and D-Von is rarely heard of now.

Final person I'm going to use as an example of here will be Mark Henry, Henry was in a worse place on Raw than R-Truth, least Truth would appear on Raw at times, Mark Henry wasn't even appearing on WWE Superstars on a weekly basis, yet draft him over to SmackDown and straight away, he is 1: A heel and 2: Automatically inserted into main event matches and probably number one contendership for the World Heavyweight Title. As I said before, it's not the wrestler changing his moves, they still have the same than what they did before the change, but by simply moving shows or not caring for the fans no more, Wrestlers and Organisations have made something old and stale into something new and fresh, it's something I have come to call, The Heel-ing Process.

I hope you enjoy reading this and I would love any feedback so please do get in touch, thanks.

Remembering Macho Man Randy Savage



The wrestling and entertainment world was saddened by the loss of Macho Man Randy Savage early Friday morning, one of the greatest characters that ever did grace the squared circle. To me, Randy was a good wrestler, when I started watching wrestling, WrestleMania 7 was my first event I saw and the career ending match with he and Ultimate Warrior was just awesome, when you look back at Ultimate Warrior's career, he never had many, if any good matches, yet WrestleMania 7 he had that great match all in thanks to Macho Man, epic storytelling and Randy made Warrior look better in that match than Hogan did when Warrior won the then WWF title.

Fast forward later into the autumn of 1991 and the infamous rivalry with Jake Roberts, a very memorable rivalry for me for many reasons, Jake striking Elizabeth as Tuesday in Texas, Jake's king cobra biting Savage on the arm on an episode of WWF Superstars, as a young fan this was gripping viewing for me as it was scary stuff seeing that happen with the cobra, something that Santino couldn't recreate if he tried his hardest in the modern day era.

Many people who remembers Randy's WWF career will no doubt know about the great WrestleMania 3 match for the WWF Intercontinental title against Ricky Steamboat, arguably the greatest match in the history of WrestleMania, and again good built up stemming from Savage injuring Steamboat's throat on an episode of WWF Superstars Of Wrestling. Watching this match is one of the reasons I love wrestling, you cannot fail to be in awe of this match and how well it is worked by both men. It was a solid wrestling match and the best match for many years.

Many ex wrestlers have called Randy a control freak when it came to his matches, that he liked to plan ahead of the matches move by move, whereas many of the wrestlers back in the 80's liked to call the moves on the fly, Hulk Hogan has said this in The Self Destruction Of The Ultimate Warrior DVD when referring to the WrestleMania 7 career ending match, but I say this, when it comes to preparing for a job, having research is always good as it can help a person further their work, so why would it be a bad thing for a man to want to prepare a wrestling match, yes back in the 1980's wrestlers were very into kayfabe and trying to show us how legitimate and real professional wrestling was, whereas now we are all wise to how pro wrestling works. So having Savage guide Warrior through the entire WrestleMania 7 match was obviously a correct choice as, in my view, it was the best match of WrestleMania 7 and would have been the only way of getting the Ultimate Warrior to have a somewhat great match.

There are many other memories of Macho that I have not mentioned and I apologise for that, these are the ones that stand out to me, we all ave our own “Macho Memories” and ooooooohhhhhhhhh yyyyeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhh they are good memories I hope. Randy Savage will be sorely missed, but now in the great wrestling ring in the sky, The Macho Man, the first lady of wrestling and the Sensational queen are reunited for eternity. R.I.P. Macho Man Randy Savage.

Over The Limit Predictions

Well here we are, another WWE Event (This one with a crap name and crap promo video with the family i it I may add). Over The Limit comes to us this Sunday and as always when it comes to these events, I post predictions, so without further adu, lets jump into them.

R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio

I'm loving Truth's heel work, he now looks like a legitimate player in the WWE, beforehand with the fan friendly rapper gimmick, he was just the fill in guy that would never ammount to anything, now as a heel, he is cementing his authority on Raw, and taking his past frustrations out upon everyone. This match was meant to be against John Morrison but due to injury that will not take place, however for when Jomo gets back, it provides a great back story to get straight back into. The Truth/Mysterio story has also been good, Truth pushing the PG card too using somewhat racist views about Rey and Alberto Del Rio when all were campaigning for number 1 contendership for the WWE title, general concensus about R-Truth being he doesn't deserve to be pushing for main events, and this is Truth's chance to “Stick it to the man” so to say. As for a prediction on this match, it's a no brainer to me, it makes no sense to build up a good heel character and them knock him off at the first chance, R-Truth gets the win here over Rey.

WWE Tag Team Championship: Big Show & Kane (c) vs. CM Punk & Mason Ryan of Nexus

Seems strange actually having the tag titles defended on a PPV, didn't think WWE cared anymore. An interesting match, Mason can definitely counter act the 2 giants on the opposing team, and I wouldnt be surprised if at somepoint during this match that Mason actually slams Big Show, and CM Punk is having some of his best matches in WWE, the Kofi one on Raw was slightly below par but was still good. Kane and Big Show need legitimate challengers for the belts, in fact when you think about it, besides The Corre, who else is actually a tag team?? And it's not like Gabriel and Slater can stand toe to toe with the champions. I can see this match going both ways but I think that Kane & Big Show get the win, and this could be a slow exit from Nexus for Mason Ryan.

Kiss My Foot Match: Jerry Lawler vs. Sir Michael Cole

Not wasting my time on this, please WWE, end this silly feud, this is not PPV worthy, hell it's not even TNA worthy. King finally shuts Cole up.

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Wade Barrett (c) vs. Ezekiel Jackson

The Intercontinental title is being defended too?? I actually cannot remember the last PPV it was defended on, it was probably Night Of Champions, as it had to be defended then. This match is a good chance for both to shine, I thought the move to SmackDown would be great for Wade, in fact he has been very inafective on the Blue Brand. Big Zeke in a face role doesn't really work for me but away from The Corre is a good move, Zeke has the presence that he should be the baddest man in the WWE, he looks like he has the largest arms in the WWE too. I dont think that this is going to be the best match of the night, due to Zeke being all power, but if they can make it work then it's all good with me. As for predicting the winner of the match, again I can see it going both ways but I predict we have a new Intercontinental champion and Ezekiel Jackson wins, this will be a good thing for both men as it gives Zeke a platform to work from and will hopefully give Barrett a chance to work his way up into World Heavyweight Championship contension, a place I believe he belongs after all the good runs on Raw with Nexus.

World Heavyweight Championship: Randy Orton (c) vs. Christian

First prediction, is that this match will probably be the match of the night, Orton has been in the best form of his career and if their SmackDown match is anything to go by, then this one will be a classic. In truth, before this match happens, I was half expecting a Christian heel turn as some part of his desire to get the title back but so far they have been very sporting about the whole situation, shaking hands and many other things, but when it comes to it, it needs to be decided in the ring, hanshakes aside and lets see who has what it takes to defeat the other man. Since losing the title, the entire internet was in uproar about Christian dropping the belt, knowing WWE, there has to be a bigger picture, is Over The Limit going to be the culmination of the bigger picture?? In my view, Orton will retain and this will be the catylist of Christan's downfall and thrust him into a heel turn and a long rivalry with Orton and eventually regaining the World Heavyweight Title.

WWE Championship “I Quit” Match: John Cena (c) vs. The Miz

This match is a no brainer, Cena cannot lose in an I Quit environment, it's almost like Undertaker losing at WrestleMania, it's unheard of. The only way that Miz can win this is if he play's the 1999 Royal Rumble card and play a tape of Cena shouting “I Quit”. Cena is going to win, but i'm hoping that this will be a good match and a good end to the event.

There may be a possibility for a Sin Cara match on the card also and he may take on Chavo Guerrero, Sin Cara would win on his PPV debut and Chavo will be a good man to wrestle with and teach him some more things, it could be a great advertising to WWE to say “Relaunch the Cruiserweights”.

Well there's my predicitons, hope it's a good read whether you agree or disagree, and lets hope Over The Limit is a good event too because Extreme Rules is a hard act to follow.

The Viper Slithers To The Top: My View On Christian Dropping The World Heavyweight Title

So the internet was full of spoiler alerts after Tuesday's Smackdown taping, and most message boards were raging about what they heard had happened, but was there a reason for this? Was there potential for a story here? Was Christian injured from the ladder match at Extreme Rules and needed time off? We wouldn't know until Smackdown had aired.

I'll admit that once I had heard that Christian had dropped the belt to Randy Orton, I was wondering why this had happened, straight away you can't help but think that the only reason that Christian won at Extreme Rules was to keep the World Heavyweight Title on Smackdown, and that this was the ultimate slap in the face to Christian, basically saying that WWE has no faith in you to main event PPV's and bring any money into the company, so WWE took the decision to make Randy the face of Friday night's.

Then we watched Smackdown, a very emotional Christian opens up the show saying that he was going to enjoy every single moment as World Heavyweight Champion, almost in tears, then cue the cavalry, Mark Henry, The Great Khali, Randy Orton and finally Teddy Long, the first 3 guys come out to put the view across to Captain Charisma as they would be a viable challenger to the World Heavyweight Champion. Teddy Long's idea to settle this situation?? A popularity contest with the Orlando crowd, not exactly rocket science to know who won this one, and Randy Orton was duly selected and the match was made for that night.

Fast forward to the main event and this was one of the better Smackdown main events in a long time, many people have said, and I agree, that Randy Orton is wrestling some of his best matches since the Evolution days, or quite possibly his best matches in his career. If he can keep this form up then he is rightly in the position that he is in right now, but also in this match, Christian was made to look, well, like a World Champion, he hung with Orton the entire way through the match, there was many near falls which had many of the live audience on the edge of their seats and when it came to the finish, much like WrestleMania, it was a springboard attack that was counted by Randy into an RKO to get the Viper the win and the World Heavyweight Title in Christian's first title defence

What we saw after the match, to me, was the probable start of the story until Over The Limit, as Orton is celebrating his victory up the ramp, Christian is seemingly in disbelief that the title he had worked 13 years for, was out of his hand's just like that, asking himself how did that happen, stunned and confused. The seeds have seemingly been planted for Christian to seemingly go crazy and become obsessed with regaining the World Heavyweight Title, and can do anything to get it back, so expect Christian to turn heel soon. In many ways, Christian may go the same way as Edge, as he was obsessed with the title when John Cena was champion, and if the standard of matches are like what we had on Smackdown, it will make the probably rematch at Over The Limit look very good, and there would be every chance to see Christian regain the title once again. Christian, in my view, will be World Heavyweight Champion again this year.

Future Endeavors - Extreme Rules Review/Results

Extreme-ly Awesome: My Extreme Rules Review

Well the night of extreme has gone and we now have a clearer picture of the WWE landscape after WWE Draft and Extreme Rules. On the whole, I was quite happy with the event, thought the quality on the majority of matches was there, minus the Cole/Swagger vs. King/JR match, but who expected much from that. So here it is, My Extreme Rules review.

Randy Orton beats CM Punk in a Last Man Standing match
I was surprised that they chose this match to begin the event, thought it would be Cody/Rey, but what a great match it was, I had a feeling that the New Nexus would be involved, but not so long as the Raw GM banned them from ringside (quite possibly the most extreme rule of them all!!) Action all over when these guys got going, hard kendo stick shots to both wrestlers, did you see the welts on Punk's back?? OUCH!!! so many hold and counter hold with them both, GTS into RKO back into GTS etc., had all the crowd on the edge of their seats. I still think that Punk should have been the guy to win this match, this match was totally awesome and a great way to start the night.

Kofi Kingston beats Sheamus for the United States title in a Tables match
Impromptu match here, which many of us expected due to Friday's Smackdown, a lot of us knew this match would take place and had a feeling that the match would be won by Kofi due to Raw not having a secondary title, but again, both men gave the crowd many a false finish, avoiding tables in different ways, Kofi showed his athletic side on so many levels and showed why he should be pushed and taken more seriously by WWE, a very good ending and probably the only time a Boom drop/leg lariat puts a wrestler through a table. Sheamus will bounce back though on Smackdown and can make a great Intercontinental Champion but his target must be the World Heavyweight Title.

Sir Michael Cole & Jack Swagger beat Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross in a Country Whipping Match
When this was changed from the street fight to this match, I was expecting it maybe to be some sort of strap match where you would have to touch all 4 corners, how wrong I was, which was for the better. Cole coming out in bubble wrap was amusing and something that Bobby Heenan would have done back in the 80's. I wasn't looking forward to this match, but it was an improvement on WrestleMania, funny to see JR whipping Michael Cole so that's a small good thing from something very poor.

Rey Mysterio beats Cody Rhodes in a Falls Count Anywhere match
I expected this match to kick off the event, which it never, but once this match got started, the event got back on track after the previous match on the card, Cody and Rey have good chemistry, I wanted Cody to win as I thought he was on a role and his creepy depressed/psycho character is really over with me, and having the associates handing out brown paper bags is amusing. Straight off the bat, these guys where going on the ramp, in the crowd, in the concession stands, all over the arena. Rey used a mist like Tajiri, is this something to see in the future or a one off?? I really hope that Cody can be used very well on Smackdown after this loss, he still can be a big player in 2011.

Layla beats Michelle McCool in a No Count Outs, No Disqualifications, Loser Leaves WWE Match
Now when it comes to a WWE Divas match, we can never expect too much, but with Layla and Michelle in the ring, these women have come along so well in such a short period of time, think back, these women came into WWE as Diva Search competitors, now they are arguably 2 of the best women in the WWE right now and for the last 10 years too. Layla needed the win but I really expected to her to win also, because Michelle is just off her ankle injury, which didn't seem to bother her at all, for a Divas match, this was as tough as they come, and some good hold to counterhold chain wrestling in this match also. A nice added gem into the night was the debut of Kharma, who if you didn't know was in TNA as Awesome Kong, and we have been waiting her debut for sometime, and once in the ring with Michelle, she dominated her and hit her finisher and gave her evil laugh after doing it. Kharma's music really fit the character too.

Christian beats Alberto Del Rio for the vacant World Heavyweight Title in a Ladder Match
Thought by many to be the main event for the night, but not to be, this match was a really good match, very brutal too, Christian showed why he is one of the best in a ladder match environment, Del Rio also looked strong in this, but at times, you could see his inexperience in these kind of matches. With a ladder match, its impossible to not bleed when getting hit with the corner of the ladder, Christian's forehead took a knock, he also took a deep scratch to his hip area on the stairs, pretty brutal, but also Brodus Clay was totally messed up from the small ladder shot by Christian, it was attempted to be edited by WWE but when Del Rio was pushed off the ladder onto Clay and Ricardo at the finish, check the pool of blood on the mats and also check Brodus' face. A nice touch by adding Edge's distraction at the end, though many can argue that Christian only won the match due to that, so what, Christian deserved to win the World Heavyweight Title for paying his dues over the years, I admit that I was slightly emotional when he raised the belt above his head and he embraced Edge. Del Rio will be a WWE Champion over on Raw before the year is out.

Big Show & Kane beat Wade Barrett & Ezekiel Jackson to retain the WWE Tag Team Titles in a Lumberjack match
Another impromptu match, quite surprised it was Wade and Zeke representing The Corre rather than Heath and Justin, the usual tag team combination of The Corre. This match, in my view, only served to purpose to show the disintegration of The Corre, as Barrett tags himself in after Zeke slams the Big Show. WWE has really made it clear that tag team wrestling is not big on their agenda, hence why this match wasn't advertised and hence why it wasn't that memorable but another good showing in dominance for Kane & Big Show.

John Cena beats The Miz & John Morrison for the WWE Championship in a Triple Threat Steel Cage Match
This match had many people talking as it was the hardest match to call of the night as arguments could easily be made for all 3 men being the WWE Champ. The beauty of a triple threat cage match, is there are so many false finishes, someone is always trying to escape as the other 2 guys are going at it on the other side of the ring. I had predicted Cena to become the new WWE Champ but I didn't want him to be Champ, I would have been happy with Miz or Morrison winning, but with The Rock being on Raw tonight, I just thought it seemed to make sense that The Rock returns to Raw to find John Cena as WWE Champion. One good thing with Miz losing the title, is that he lost it cleanly, Miz was the one who took the pinfall from a AA off the top rope, which looked awesome. R Truth also interfered in this match costing Morrison his chance of being WWE Champ, obviously pushing the feud between Truth and Jomo for Over The Limit it would seem.

All in all, this was an awesome event on the whole, it will be interesting to see how WWE books for Over The Limit, but I guarantee that Over The Limit will struggle to come close to Extreme Rules.

Sunday 1 May 2011

Extreme Rules Predictions

Well, It's that night of the year, where all the WWE Superstars and Divas go “Extreme”, Yes It's WWE Extreme Rules tonight, in It's new location as the PPV after WrestleMania, a good move by WWE because Backlash was mainly just WrestleMania rematches, but now those rematches have a bit of extra spice to them. The majority of these matches are now cross branded due tot he WWE Draft from this week and they will serve to be the end of these feuds, with new feuds being created as of Monday Night Raw tomorrow. Let me give you my predictions for tonight's Extreme Rules event.

Layla vs. Michelle McCool (No count-outs, No disqualifications, Loser leaves WWE)
Originally this was to be loser leaves Smackdown but apparently WWE dubbed the audio after the taping of Smackdown and changed it to a loser leaves WWE match. Most Divas matches are cringe worthy and not really something that you would look forward to, however with Michelle and Layla it's different to me, these girls really go at it, and get physical with one another, I don't know many of the other WWE Divas who will throw themselves into the barricades as hard as these two ladies. The stipulation here is the loser leaves WWE, it's obvious that the loser will return to WWE at some point, more than likely on Raw though, Michelle has only just come back from an ankle injury so is she 100% to go in the ring?? it's that doubt that makes me think that Layla gets the 1-2-3 here and wins tonight, more than likely turning face also.

Jerry Lawler & Jim Ross vs. Jack Swagger & Sir Michael Cole (Country Whipping Match)
Really hoping that this is the end of this feud as it should of ended at WrestleMania, not really expecting anything from this besides a win for King and JR, which more than likely leads to a Swagger face turn at Cole's expense.

Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes (Falls Count Anywhere)
After having a solid match at WrestleMania, these two go again tonight, this time with falls counting anywhere, this could be another very good match and maybe the sleeper match of the night. Cody has really come of leaps and bounds since being in Legacy to being Dashing to now being a very dark and twisted man after revenge. Rey heads to Raw after this match, whereas I predicted that it would be Cody going to the red team last week, but the Draft is all done now and we have the 2 rosters so lets all deal with it. I see no reason why Cody should not win this match, as he is on a roll, probably the best in his career, and I see Cody being a number 1 contender within 6 months.

Randy Orton vs. CM Punk (Last Man Standing match)
Another contender for being match of the night, and after what was a very good WrestleMania match with these two, I have high expectations from them. With the stipulation being Last Man Standing, genually these are brutal and enduring matches, so expect a lot of weaponry and use of the outside area, but also with Last Man Standing, there is no disqualifications, meaning there is nothing to stop the new Nexus from coming out and helping Punk get the win, and that's what I think happens here. I want Punk to win, but I would prefer him to do it cleanly but I see Nexus playing a part in this match and CM Punk is your winner tonight.

Alberto Del Rio vs. Christian (Ladder Match for the vacant World Heavyweight Title)
Originally meant to be Edge going against Del Rio here but with his retirement due to his spine, Christian stepped in via winning a battle royal on Smackdown, but Christian is the right guy in this roll as before WrestleMania, he was beating Del Rio for fun it seemed and if you didn't know the WrestleMania card, you would think it was Del Rio vs. Christian at WrestleMania. Tonight we get this match, in a Ladder Match, something Christian is very good at, he is one of the modern day pioneers of this match and arguably in WWE at this moment, there is no one better in a Ladder match than Christian. Predicting this match seems simple but it's hard, we all expect Del Rio to be a worlds champion very soon, and this would be his ideal moment, but if Alberto does win this match, then both major titles would be on Monday Night Raw, and both secondary titles would be on Smackdown, personally I don't see that happening and both shows will have a primary and secondary title on them, meaning that I see Christian winning the World Heavyweight Title tonight, not just because of a sympathy vote that his best friend retired, not just because Smackdown needs to have a World Champion but because he deserves it, Christian has paid his dues over and over in WWE and has never really been considered, now is his chance to shine brightly, Smackdown is looking a very strong show and Christian will be a great champion of that show. The loss wont hurt Del Rio, expect him to be a WWE Champ on Raw within the end of the year.

The Miz vs. John Cena vs. John Morrison (Triple Threat Steel Cage Match for the WWE Championship)
A Triple Threat cage match are very rare to see in WWE, and you have 3 very different wrestlers and how they go about their business in the ring, Cena is all power, Morrison is agile and uses high risk and his parkour training, The Miz is the cagey villain who does anything to win. Miz has voiced his concerns over this match, saying he does not have to be beaten in this match to lose, which is true and is one of the poor stipulations in a triple threat match, maybe this match should have been won by escaping the cage only, or an ECW style 3 way dance with elimination rules. With all that said, the inclusion of Morrison, replacing R-Truth, makes this match more interesting, as we are all waiting to see what Morrison can do with the cage, remember what he did inside the Elimination Chamber, I can easily see Jomo attempting a Starship Pain from the top, whether he hits who he's aiming for we will wait and see, but Morrison loves the high risk, and that is the ultimate high risk in the steel cage. I want to see either Miz or Morrison get the win but I have this feeling that John Cena gets the win tonight, maybe it's Morrison who takes the pinfall, as Miz is lying on the mat or attempting to climb over, but I see Cena taking the title, my main reason for this is tomorrow night's Raw with The Rock's birthday party, Cena has said that he wants his match with The Rock to be for the WWE Title, so Cena may got 9 months as champion?? Maybe not, but it could be the catylist for some promos while Rock is back in WWE for tomorrow night.

Well, I hope you've had a good read, whether you agree or disagree with what I've said, hopefully Extreme Rules is Extreme-ly good.
