    Survivor Series 2008

    Saturday, November 22, 2008, 09:18 AM CST [General]

    Greetings again from my neck of the woods. As all of you out there may know this Sunday is the 22nd edition of the Survivor Series. This event is shaping up to be great with 3 traditional Survivor Series elimination matches, 2 World Title matches, and a casket match of epic proportions. I'm not great at making predictions, so I'm going to try and do my best. The elimination matches are going to be more difficult because they can go so many ways. Those matches I'll only guess which team will win, and not who will be the survivors of the match. All the other matches I can just take a pick and provide some key points.

    Team Batista Vs Team Orton

    Traditional Survivor Series Match

    My Pick:  Team Batista

    Although on paper, it looks like Team Orton would win this go around, especially with the World's Strongest Man on board, but even the biggest of men have an Achilles heel. Look for this one to drag out a good 30 minutes.

    Team HBK Vs Team JBL

    My Pick: Team HBK

    This one is a little bit different, seeing as both teams have a giant in their corner. The Showstopper has the Great Khali in his corner while the Big Red Machine is in JBL's fold, but even Kane has stated that if Layfield makes one wrong move, he might have a mutiny on his hands. My concern over their team unity drove me to pick Michaels' team over Team JBL.

    Team Raw Vs Team SmackDown

    My Pick: Team Raw

    This one also has it's cohesiveness issues, but on both sides. I do see that it would be more beneficial to Raw because the Divas DO have issues especially revolving around each brand's respective championships. Because of this, it is really difficult to decide clearly for one team. Expect the unexpected from the Divas in this one.

    Casket Match

    Undertaker Vs. Big Show

    My Pick: The Undertaker

    I've enjoyed watching these two go at it and even team up with each other for years now, and there has been bad blood between these two for a while now over the whole Vickie and Edge screwed me out of the title story. Show may be doing a noble thing here by protecting the G.M., but in life altogether, you reap what you sow. The Dead Man from Death Valley will have his revenge on the Big Show and eventually Guerrero too.

    WWE Championship Triple Threat Match

    HHH (c) Vs Jeff Hardy Vs Vladimir Koslov

    My Pick: Jeff Hardy

    This match had its difficulties as well, especially due to the fact that Koslov is undefeated (like Goldberg, without the fan support), and Hardy has a win going into this match over the champion in a non-title match thanks to a distraction by the Moscow Mauler. It's not that I don't expect HHH to bring his A-game, he always does. It's the fact that there is a 33.3% chance of him retaining against someone who is undefeated and someone who is constantly nipping at his heels to win the title. Although Hardy also looks like a long shot as well, he doesn't have to pin Koslov to win HHH's title.

    World Heavyweight Championship

    Chris Jericho (c) Vs John Cena

    My Pick: John Cena

    Since Jericho has re-emerged in the WWE, he went from being a obvious fan favorite to a self-centered egotistical mad man who has had success at the downfall of others. Sunday, he faces the man who cost him his job a few years back. Although the tables have switched being that Cena IS NOT the champion going into this match, don't count him out. Being away from the ring should not affect Cena in this match, but Jericho will find unorthodox ways to win, i.e. the Cage match Vs Batista for the World Title two weeks ago on Raw. Love him or hate him, Cena is my pick to 'save us' from Y2J

    That just about wraps this one up for me. I'll be watching, will you?

    My Predictions are;



    John Cena Defeats Chris Jericho. The other Victorious Members would be "Team HBK", "Team Batista", Undertaker, "Team Raw Divas"

    Due to recent events, I must take in account that if Jeff Hardy does not make the ppv, that my pick for that match would be null and void. So, if the triple threat goes back to being a singles match for the title, then my pick would be Triple H. He's the Game for a reason, and everyone, even my favorite superstar, Stone Cold Steve Austin, knows why.
