Spicy's Triple Topic: Top III 2004 Predictions

[SpicyMcHaggis]

1. 2004: The year of Benoit- I think that at the Royal Rumble, Chris Benoit will be the last man ot be eliminated against someone from RAW. I'm only saying that because last year's Rumble winner was from SD. Maybe they'll give a RAW guy the shot. Benoit is now on the most massive rampage for the title he's ever been on. He takes all the risks to get it too. I see Benoit in the WWE Title Main Event at WrestleMania XX against Brock Lesnar.

2. NWA-TNA: The TV Deal heard round the world- Someone will buy it. Someone will make it big. Someone will finally showcase good wrestling. And someone will finally be able to compete with the WWE. Who, I ask you, who?

3. A Star Will Rise: ????- We all know Goldberg is pretty much done after WMXX. So who's next to fill the major babyface role on RAW? RVD? Booker? Maven? Triple H? No, no my friends. I believe that the next big face for RAW is none other than the third generation superstar and current Intercontinental Champion, Randy Orton. I know I may get lynched for saying that, but I really believe it may happen.

I think Jericho will be the new face on raw. Expect his face turn at the the Rumble

I just got off the phone with Jonathon Edward. He gave me some predictions, but first, is there someone with an "M" or an "N" in your life?... I'm getting an M or an N...

[WRESTLINGFAN]

RVD will finally get a run at the World Title, he deserves it. Cena will get the WWE Title at Summerslam by pinning Brock Lesnar.

Edge will get a big push but they will toy around with him just like they did to Benoit.

TNA will announce later in the year that they plan on having a monday night show and bring in some more new talent

[walking joint]

RVD will finally get a run at the World Title,


yeah right...this won't happen. i just don't think the WWE sees him as a credible champion, which sucks. i'd like to see it, but i'd predict NWA TNA champ before WWE champ.

It highly unlike that RVD would get a title run. In fact, the odds are almost the same as Funaki pinning Lesnar for the championship. The WWE can't deny that he's a phenomenal performer and no doubt the most talented they've ever had, butthey won't give him the belt since he's bad mouthed them multiple times in the past and the fact that his "high flying" easy going attitude isn't what they're looking for in a champ. Sure they can book great PPVs with the guy as a main eventer, but they're too dumb to realize that a title run would ensure the return of long lost fans and a new brighter era.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Orton become the supposed "next big thing" as they've been trying to sell him as such for far too long. Orton's ring skills are way off to define just that although his mic skills are pretty good. But mic skills or no mic skills, they guy has no charisma, no charater, and most importantly no audience reaction. Sure they may heckle him from time to time but that's just to try and get him outta their view. The audience is usually so bored with Orton that you hear everyone talking amongst themselves at shows instead of the much more welcoming sounds or cheers and jeers.

Also, it looks like Benoits ship has finally come in as he's being pushed extremely hard for a title shot. Yes it does look shaky at the moment as his feud with the FBI has been floating around for the past few weeks, but I do think that management finally got something right and decided to have Benoit in the spotlight as a potential babyface to take the title from Lesnar at Wrestlemania. And as far as I'm concerned, it's a great idea. Chris Benoit is one of the best technical wrestlers if not the best technical wrestler to ever step into the sqaured circle. The only others who can even come close to him are other legends such as Tazz, Dean Malenko, Saturn, and Rick Steiner. So yes, I do think it's quite evident that we'll be seeing Benoit wear the strap around his waist sometime in the near future.

1. H will mire all the talent on Raw.
2. Benoit, Guerrero, and Angle will entertain on Smackdown but won't show us anything new. TWGTT will soon hit the glass ceiling.
3. Japan will move much better angles along, including the Nakamura IWGP run and Nagata/Tanahashi GHC tag run.

RVD does not deserve the World title. I like him. I enjoy him when he wrestles. But he is a one trick pony. His character has not evolved at all. This does not mean I think HHH deserves the belt. The guy who deserves it the most is Jericho as a face not as a lame heel who picks up dog poop for Stephanie.

They're building up Benoit's title hunt pretty well. I can only hope that they don't fuck this up like they've fucked up every other Benoit main event push they've ever done. Here's hoping that at least they do finally pull the trigger and give him a title shot (preferably at Mania). I have no confidence that they'll actually give him the belt, but at least I hope they give him the high-profile title shot.

2. NWA-TNA: The TV Deal heard round the world- Someone will buy it. Someone will make it big. Someone will finally showcase good wrestling. And someone will finally be able to compete with the WWE. Who, I ask you, who?

From everything I've heard about the possible WGN deal, I'm very worried about TNA's future.

3. A Star Will Rise: ????- We all know Goldberg is pretty much done after WMXX. So who's next to fill the major babyface role on RAW? RVD? Booker? Maven? Triple H? No, no my friends. I believe that the next big face for RAW is none other than the third generation superstar and current Intercontinental Champion, Randy Orton. I know I may get lynched for saying that, but I really believe it may happen.

Orton as a major face would make me want to slit my wrists.

RAW has absolutely NO major faces left - NONE of them - as they've all been destroyed by Trips. That's not going to change anytime soon, unless there's talent trades.

Don't rule out an RVD title push, though - he's negotiating for a new contract (his current one expires this summer) and a promised title push may get slipped into the deal (although RVD really doesn't give two shits about titles).

3. Japan will move much better angles along, including the Nakamura IWGP run and Nagata/Tanahashi GHC tag run.

I'm still not sure how to take the Nakamura run. I don't mind them pushing new guys - I mean shit, if they can draw, push them, because lord knows they need foreign draws - but I really, REALLY don't want it at the expense of Hiro Tenzan, who's busted his ass for the company and seen very little reward for it. I mean, Christ, they jobbed Tenzan to Sapp.

Correction, RVD doesn't care about the IC belt. He was quoted on saying so in an interview.

It's his time to have the ball and run with it. He's been screwed out of it for a damn long time.

TNA: The TV Deal heard round the world- Someone will buy it. Someone will make it big. Someone will finally showcase good wrestling. And someone will finally be able to compete with the WWE. Who, I ask you, who?WGN is still up in the air and I am happy about it. Don't want that to happen but they are in fact working on other perspective channels to display their programming. And I'll leave it at that.

A Star Will Rise: ????- We all know Goldberg is pretty much done after WMXX. So who's next to fill the major babyface role on RAW? RVD? Booker? Maven? Triple H? No, no my friends. I believe that the next big face for RAW is none other than the third generation superstar and current Intercontinental Champion, Randy Orton. I know I may get lynched for saying that, but I really believe it may happen.Randy Orton has developed alot over the past months and I would like that. RVD will still be in limbo and hopefully TNA is his next stop.
