I'm going to the ppv tomorrow. It's my first one actually. I went to SmackDown back in May and the merchandise table was pretty weak. A lot of Cena and CM Punk stuff. Then spinner belts and Mysterio masks. I wanted to ask, do they have more stuff at ppvs? Since all the brands will be there, will they have Orton shirts, Triple H shirts, etc.? Thanks for any help.

I went to Hell In A Cell. They had a good selection of all the latest shirts from their top superstars. If you're looking for an older shirt, you may be out of luck though.

A note to UK fans - the clocks went back an hour today, so Bragging Rights will be on at Midnight, not 1am. Same goes for tomorrow's RAW, it's at 1am instead of 2am.

As I said in the prediction thread, this has to be the hardest PPV to predicted in awhile. Every match is a toss up, some more than other, but still a toss up in my opinion.

Morrison vs. Miz:
I went safe and picked Morrison in the prediction game thread, but I could easily see Ziggler costing Morrison the match and give the win to Miz, which would help Miz and not hurt Morrison.

RAW Diva's vs. SD! Diva's:
I see RAW winning as I think Mickie will cost Michelle and Team SD! the match.

Fatal 4 Way WHC:
Now when I said some matches are more of a toss up then others, this is one I'm really talking about. Everyone could win this, even Rey, maybe stealing a win for Tista, Punk stealing a win from Batista setting up a Triple Threat at Survivor Series in Washington, DC, Tista home town, Tista winning or Taker retaining. Anyway I'm I have no clue and will go with Taker retaining.

7on7 RAW vs. SD!:
I see what alot of people see, SD! winning with Show costing RAW the match and Jericho pinning Shawn or Triple H to get back a win over DX as DX beat them on RAW a couple weeks back, thus setting up a Traditional Survivor Series with Team DX vs. Team JeriShow, with DX winning giving DX a tag title match at TLC.

WWE Championship Iron Man Match:
I really don't know, I'll pick Orton, but neither have many people to face after this match.

[s l i k]

I'm not excited about this ppv at all.

Here are my thoughts:

Punk will win. Taker will take time off. Punk will feud with Batista.

Cena will win.

Team RAW will win both the 14 man tag match and the divas.

Morrison will win.

[MGH]

I'm not looking forward to Orton/Cena, but in some backwards way I kind of am, if that makes any sense. I'm curious to see if this is a trainwreck Ironman or a surprising HHH/Rock Ironman.


Predictions: Morrison wins and Raw divas win.

The 7 on 7 almost seems too obvious, with Show turning on Raw to side with his tag team partner. Knock out punch to Shawn, and Jericho takes it for SD. Either way though, it sucks for me because I want DX so far away from Jericho that he can't even find them in his rear view mirror. If Show turns, the feud has to continue. If DX and Raw wins, they'll probably get a shot at the tag belts. I'm in a lose/lose, so I'm hoping for a good match. Which seeing as there are only 3 other normal matches on the card aside from this, and the diva match won't get much time, I think this will have time to develop and be really entertaining. Some Shawn Michaels/Harts interaction would be great. Same with Kofi and R-Truth, Kidd, or Matt Hardy.

I have this sinking feeling that despite Taker obviously still being miles from 100%, they'll leave the belt on him anyway. He's one of the anchors currently keeping SD from blowing up like it was in the months this Summer where it was so good. I don't blame him at all, more like WWE for insisting on throwing him in this spot of the card in his condition. I'm crossing my fingers with my pick, hoping that Vince screws Taker and Punk steals it on Rey. At least that way Taker and Vince can feud while Punk goes on his way and has some good matches again. Vince and Taker don't have to touch until Mania (if that's where they're going), since Vince can just keep throwing people at Taker trying to keep him away. Maybe even a Batista turn somewhere in here?

Like I said on the Ironman, I'm not REALLY looking forward to it, but in that odd curiosity way I am. Even as much as the belt has flipped this year, I just can't see it here. Not again in the SAME feud. I don't know how they have Orton pull it off (maybe Ted attempts to take out Orton but accidentally gets Cena?), but he'll somehow do it. Cena going to SD benefits him tremendously, and it opens up a much needed spot on Raw. I'm just glad this is No DQ. That will help these guys so much.

So final calls are Morrison, Raw Divas, Smackdown Team, Punk, and Orton.

[parder]

The angle they've put together for Cena-Orton interests me, since they've done a pretty good job of making you think Cena might actually be headed to Smackdown. Plus there's also the intriguing slow turn in the works of Ted DiBiase, which may end up being the big wild card in this match.

But the ultimate problem is that I REALLY don't want to see these two wrestle each other for an hour after having so many other previous matches (not that those weren't good matches). That is ultimately what is putting me off watching tonight - I just want to be able to skip to the finish .

With the WHC 4 way I'm with most here in thinking it's either Taker or Punk. Batista and Rey look set to have their own separate issue down the line that doesn't need the title involved.

Miz vs. Morrison depends on whether this is just a one match feud or not. If it's just one match I go with Morrison, if the feud continues beyond this PPV, then it has to be Miz.

I'm guessing the Raw divas win their match with Melina pinning McCool. That sets up McCool being vulnerable as she heads into feuds with Mickie and Beth on SD.

That also gives Raw a token win if Team Smackdown wins the main event. But really I couldn't really care less who wins that match, which kind of shows the weakness of it as the main gimmick for this PPV.

Agree with this.

This is probably one of those 'Predictable' PPVs.
In the end, when cena's celebrating with the title again. I know ill kick myself for watching.

[Steveweiser]

A lot of discussion on the live WWE Universe chat about what happens if Cena and Orton are tied after an hour. Corey thinks it ends on 60, Fink thinks it should go to OT.

[Deleted]

Personally I'm thinking a Raw win in the fourteen-man tag, though if SmackDown does win to set up a DX / Jericho & Show feud, I totally support that. Namely since chances are Jericho & Show would then lose the belts, and I've been wanting them to do so since day one.

[WorkingInAColeMine]

It's everyone's favorite time of month.

Jack Korpella time

[Metalheadbanger Man]

Hard to call this one.

I'm going for:

Cena over Orton
SD! over RAW
Punk to win the 4-Way
Morrison over Miz
RAW Divas over SD! Divas

[Deleted]

Man, I'm completely stumped about predicting this PPV. Morrison looks like the obvious winner in his match, but Ziggler said he'll be on the PPV one way or another so he may interfere. Undertaker only just won the title, but seeming as the belts keep changing hands so often 'Tista or Punk could win it. Cena looks like the probable winner, but if he wins then he has nobody to face for the championship.

Then there's the 14 man tag match. Again, the obvious winner seems to be Raw since the WWE seems to focus everything they do on that show (draft, 3 hour episodes, celebrity hosts etc) but you also have the possibility of Show turning on Team Raw, leading to a D-X vs. Jerishow match at Survivior Series.

This is a very good question. What DOES happen if falls are tied after 60 min? And if it doesn't go to OT and Orton retains, does Cena still go to Smackdown (since he didn't win the match)?

[Steveweiser]

I think the deal is if Cena loses, not that he doesn't win.

[MAGGLE]

Don´t kill me guys, but I think Batista will win tonight...because he will be needing his title back in about 2 hours

[Steveweiser]

Christian vs. Paul Burchill is the dark match, and I'm taking a guess that Christian wins.

Holy smokes batman! I think we've found a loophole for The Viper to keep his title and Cena not having to leave RAW! Then again, if this is THE last title-match between them, neither of them will get a championship match as long as the other is champ..Confusing it is

[Deleted]

They said that if Cena wins, Orton gets no rematches. Technically, doesn't that mean if Cena wins tonight and further along the line (maybe a years time) Orton wins the world title again, the two can face off against each other since technically Orton isn't getting a rematch since he'd be the champion.

[Steveweiser]

Apparently the set is half red, half blue. I would mark out if two sides of the ring were red ropes and the other two sides are blue ropes.
