SHARON'S EDGE

Greetings, sports entertainment fans!!! Well, another WWF PPV is coming up and I'm hearing others predict that this will have the lowest buyrate . Hmmm....I know the card wasn't initially very exciting but there's been some new developments that make this show a bit more interesting. So let's look at the latest card:

Rhyno vs. Raven for the Hardcore Belt: I had no respect for Rhyno when he was in ECW but putting him with Edge & Christian as their mindless raging Renfield has endeared him to me. I like the brooding Raven too and he wore that belt pretty proudly (as opposed to Rhyno, who tossed it aside without a second thought) I find it hard to believe we'll see Rhyno get a DDT but I CAN see Raven getting gored so I'll have to go with the big man on this- winner and still hardcore champion: Rhyno

Six-Man Tag Match: The Dudley Boys (Bubba, Spike and D-Von) take on X Factor (X-Pac, Justin Credible and Albert): Hmm...I know one thing for sure, I'm sure we'll see Justin go through a table and maybe Albert get the Acid drop or get the 'whazzup' spot-whatever, I'm sure X-Puke will avoid taking most of the bumps. Sadly, the Duds got the last licks in on Smackdown and the pattern usually goes last licks=defeat at the PPV. I REAAAALLLY hate to put this in writing but- winners : X-Factor

Eddie Guerrero vs. Matt Hardy vs. Christian For the European Title: Did Vince call Rebecca when making this match? Could Rebecca respond coherently after he asked her opinion? Hee hee!! Sorry, but this is going to be a good, solid match! I didn't appreciate Matt getting the belt via Lita's interference but that's okay, Eddy's won that belt by deliberately cheating. Christian getting the nod to join this match instead of Edge though happily surprised me! Whatever-I like all three of these guys so I'm just going to sit back and enjoy it! But hmmm...something tells me Perry 'The Walrus' Saturn will interfere so I'll go with - Winner: Eddy Guerrero

Chris Jericho vs. William Regal in a Duchess of Queensbury Rules match: Yet ANOTHER match I shall sit back and watch happily. I like this feud and both guys have impressive fighting styles so this should be another solid match. This Duchess of Queensbury rules is an interesting stipulation so I really look forward to the match. As for a winner, hmm....Jericho's been getting the best of Regal a lot so I wouldn't be surprised to see the Commissioner use some foul play to win this. Then again, I'd hate to see Jericho job again and Regal DID win on Smackdown...Okay, let me throw caution to the wind and say- Winner: Chris Jericho

Shane McMahon vs. The Big Show in a Last Man Standing match: Well, the last match they had ended with Shane breaking a cement block over Big Show's head so I'd say this will go Show's way this time. I've been reading that some WCW guys will come in to help their new boss (but I'd heard that at WMX-7 too) I say it may happen this time BUT with Vince telling Big Show he had the potential to be a monster, I see them being like mosquitoes that Paul Wight will brush off. Even though it has the whole David & Goliath scenario, we know Shane is insane so it won't be a total squash! And I wouldn't be surprised to see Vince do something dirty to his son, so I'll say: Last Man Standing will be the Big Show!

Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle in a 30 -minute Ultimate Submissions match: Okay, here's another match that I look forward to! I love the whole competitive vibe between Benoit & Angle and what a great way to make the new fans pay attention to actual wrestling moves! I'm expecting a great again solid match with no interference from these two (of course, I could be wrong about the interference part!) This was the match that had me hooked from the start so I'll be happy with whoever wins! But in the interest of fairness, I have to pick a winner. Hmmm...winner: Kurt Angle (not necessarily a clean one)

Triple H and Steve Austin vs. Undertaker and Kane with the WWF Title, the Intercontinental Title and the WWF Tag Title on the line: Let me get this straight-if Kane pins either HHH or Austin, he can end up with either belt? But if Austin or HHH pin either guy, they get the tag belts? Do I have that right? How much would it Tee-TOTALLY suck if Cold Game had all the big belts? That can't happen!!!!

I give props to Kane for the way he's put over, well, pretty much EVERYONE! Kane is unjustly overlooked too much! His selling of that arm injury was great-especially during that handicap match on Smackdown. I'd be happy to see him pin either guy to get either belt! He's overdue for some recognition! But realistically, I have to look at the participants: those healthy egos aren't going to allow Kane to do that! UT maybe... but not Kane!

So, which guy will lose his belt? Well, it warmed my heart to hear the fans chant 'Austin Sucks'-FINALLY!! Made Vince happy too, I'm sure. And Debra got a nice pop for throwing his coffee on him-though I thought for sure she was going to throw Steph's on her first! Well, I think Steve's keeping his belt because it has to give him & HHH something to fight over later. Hmmm....God, I AM giving Cold Game all the belts, aren't I?

No, I think there could be some dirty tricks that'll end up in a DQ with everything staying status quo OR maybe Steve will inadvertently cause HHH to lose his, while retaining the big belt himself. That is, if I got this title thing correct.... No, wait-I think UT or Kane could take this albeit lose it on RAW or Smackdown.

Winner: The Brothers of Destruction (but not for long)

Now for some Random Thoughts-

  • CRZ, how could you post that 'The Rock in Car Accident'? I almost had a coronary! Then I clicked on the link and saw it WASN'T the Caramel God and relaxed. Not to say I'm apathetic to this boxer's misfortune-hope things work out good for him! *tsk tsk!* Chris! :)

  • Then I see 'Talent agency Sues Chyna' and I wanted to say 'For what-not having any?' Oh BAD! BAD! Bad Sharon!! *smacks hand * naughty girl! Hee hee!!! Sorry!

  • I just found out that Matt Hardy visits [slash] wrestling!!! He's read my column! Excuse me while I go hyperventilate in a corner!

    And on that note, I'm outta here! Enjoy the PPV!
    Until next time, dear readers...............
