Annie’s View (Jan 25th)

Sunday, January 25th, 2004

Hello Viewers,
Well, I see by the calendar, it’s time again for another PPV. I can’t believe that either. Why it seems like only last month that…oh wait..nevermind. There are just too many PPV’s anymore.
So here I sit in thigh highs and an outifit I won’t mention writing to all of you Viewers and giving you the PPVIEW predictions.

But enough I’m going to make this short and sweet. Well, short anyway.

Let’s start.

World Title Last Man Standing Match
Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels

I love Hunter. No, I really do. I will probably always be a Hunter fan. That said, we have to look at who he’s fighting. Exactly. Not one of my favorites at all. Shawn Michaels. Okay, wrestling wise, Shawn gets an A. We all know he’s really good in the squared circle. We all know why he’s not my favorite either. Now for my prediction.

I hope that I’m wrong but I think that Hunter will take this. I would much rather see HBK get the win though. Confused? Join the club. No, it’s really simple. I’m sick of Hunter having the belt. It’s time he gives it up and by that I mean, longer than one PPV. Let’s see him go a few months without the belt.

What fun is watching wrestling only to already know the outcome of the biggest match? It’s just not as much fun now that Hunter always seems to have the belt. Give it to someone else. Does Shawn deserve it? Well, probably not. But I’d rather see it on Shawn right now then on Hunter and yes, I’m a fan of Hunter.

Who do I think will win? Hunter

Who do I want to win? HBK (I can’t believe I typed that)

WWE Title Match
Brock Lesnar vs. Bob Holly

This has to be the dumbest match on the card in my View. Why? Because who cares? Not me that’s for sure. Bob Holly is coming back to injure Brock and Brock acts scared? Um, nope. I didn’t buy it on Smack Down and I’m just not going to buy that someone as huge, someone who’s on the cover of Flex magazine this month, is afraid of Bob Holly.

Sure Holly’s good. But being scared? Nah, I just don’t buy it. That being said Brock (the troll) isn’t my favorite wrestler either. He’s big. So what? Kevin Nash is big. Oh that’s right Brock at least can wrestle. I’ll give him that.

I do like his finishing move though. I can tell you that.

Who do I think will win? Brock

Who do I want to win? Brock the troll

World Tag Team Titles Tables Match
Ric Flair & Batista vs. The Dudley Boyz

Batista is a man that actually would scare me (Over Holly) See if Brock were facing him…Anyway, Batista’s partner is Flair and they’re fighting the Dudley’s. The Dudley boyz have been around since well, ECW but Flair has been around since time began. Okay that’s unfair. But you know what I mean. Flair is a force to be reckoned with to say the least but his time is well, up.

The Dudley’s on the other hand are a much better tag team. Then again, they’ve been together for such a long time that it would be really hard to actually side with Flair. (Unless your Batista)

The Dudley boyz know each other’s moves and let’s face it, they’re the favorites. Does this mean they’ll win? No. But then again it’s who I would like to win. At least the Dudley’s are a tag team. Flair with Batista is just part of Evilution and that’s really no big deal since the only thing I like about them is their theme music.

Who do I think will win Flair because he cheats.

Who do I want to win The Duh Duh Duh’ (Slaps head) Dudley boyz. (dumb? Sue me)

WWE Cruiserweight Title Match
Rey Mysterio vs. Jamie Noble

I hear Noble is going to take this. Interesting. I’m hoping it’s Rey Rey all the way. Actually, I think it would be really great if Nidia would suddenly get her eyesight back and someone (like Rey) would slip her all the past weeks of Smack Down on tape. You know the ones, with Noble pushing her in front of well, you watched it right?

I think it would be great if she came out and actually helped Rey win over Noble. I would find this hilarious actually but you know, this is just MY View.

I like Noble. Don’t get me wrong. But hey, when someone’s blind, you just shouldn’t be that nasty to them. So keeping that in mind

Who do I think will win? Noble

Who do I want to win? Rey with the help of Nidia.

This brings us to the REAL and probably ONLY reason to even pay for this PPView. That is, The Royal Rumble. Now, this is MY favorite PPView of all. I love it over Survivor Series and WrestleMania. Then again, the idea of thirty sweaty men in one ring at the same time (well, almost all of them) hitting and pushing and ganging up on someone huge just to push them over so they have a better chance at the win, Well, what DOESN’T a goyle like about that? Especially when one of them is John Cena. But I digress.

From RAW : Goldberg (30), Scott Steiner, Christian, Booker T, Kane, Chris Jericho, Mark Henry, The Hurricane, Rob Van Dam, Matt Hardy, Test, Rene Dupree, Spike Dudley, Rico, Randy Orton.

(SD!) Chris Benoit (1), Kurt Angle, John Cena, Billy Gunn, Matt Morgan, The Big Show, Nunzio, Charlie Haas, Shelton Benjamin, Rikishi, The Cat, Rhyno, Tajiri, A-Train, Bradshaw,

What a card let me just say that. First of all, if I were the “other” guys, I would try and eliminate the biggest there first and that means Rikishi but more importantly, it means Mark Henry.

Mark Henry should be the first to go. Just me though, Give me our View. I think he should go first because since he is the strongest man then it should take all twenty-nine other participants to be able to throw him out Yes?

After him, get rid of Rikishi and Big Show. That way the biggest are gone.

Jericho could give everyone a run for their money though. I like him and he’s a great wrestler. Watch for him to eliminate Chiristian or, each one to throw the other over.

They say Benoit is on his way to RAW (which you know by reading my last View and other writer’s articles on the net. Even if I hadn’t known that, my money would be on either Benoit or Cena to win.

I am really wondering if the WWE is ever going to do anything with Jericho again. I really am. Booker has back problems and while it would be really nice for him to win and go on to WrestleMania to fight for the Gold, I just don’t see that happening.

Angle was a thought but he too is recovering and I would hate to see anything else happen to him. I think he’s back too soon but hey, I’m not a Dr.

Christian would be a good candidate as well, but I’m thinking he’s going to try to get rid of Jericho first and well, you know they’ll eliminate each other like I said Or, someone will walk up behind them and they’ll both go. Maybe not and I hope not but hey it could happen.

Rhyno is great but I don’t see him winning either. As for Billy Gunn, winning his first night back. No, I just don’t see this happening either.

Then the choice of Goldberg winning is always there. He’s leaving soon and he could just say his farewells at Wrestlemania when he loses to Gee, Hunter? Again?

A lot of people don’t think Benoit will be able to pull this off because he’s #1 in the rumble. But let me just remind you just like Confidential did earlier, HBK was number 1 once for the Rumble and he won it. So there is that possibility. And with Goldberg being number 30, who really knows?

I could go on but I said this would be short and short it is (I think)

Who do I want to win the Rumble? Benoit

Who do I think will win? Benoit (With Cena as my second choice)
Personally, I hope it’s worth everyone’s time and money. Most of the card I don’t really care who wins or not but the Rumble is the best.

One last thing, I’m sending out my Best, Worst and Holy Cow again, one last time just to make sure that those of you that want to vote, do. Some of you have written me asking for it again so I will send it some time next week. For those of you that don’t want to wait, go to Theringpost.com and check it out. It’s there.

Until next time Be good or be like me, really good doing it. Enjoy the Rumble!!!
