SHARON'S EDGE

Greetings, sports entertainment fans! Well, I thought RAW did a good job of setting up the 'No Way Out' PPV. This show is looking very good on paper, especially the tag team and tag team contender matches! Now I seriously tanked when it came to my predictions in the last PPV but I fearlessly try again! Drum roll please!..........

Chris Jericho vs. Kurt Angle for the IC title- I think it's very telling that this is strictly for the IC title.I don't see Kurt taking that belt so quickly so I say he'll be happy with his Euro belt. I also don't see Chris needing Chyna's help unless Davey Boy is at Kurt's side again. So I predict the winner and still IC champ-Y2J!

Kane vs. Xpac- Now you know nothing would make me happier than to see Kane make Xpuke a puddle of neon green! But somehow this 'no holds barred' stipulation makes me think of David and Goliath. I have a feeling Xpuke will have a few tricks up his sleeve and I don't mean Tori, who if she has any sense, will stay far away from Kane! I say just to drive Kane more into killer machine mode, and believe me, it pains me to say this: Xpac.

Rikishi/Too Cool vs. the Radicals-It's truly amazing how far Too Cool has come. I remember when they were two ambiguously gay jobbers who got booed all the time! Will wonders never cease? Anyway, these guys put on a great show before, expect more of the same. I predict the Radicals will come out on top.

2Blonde (my name for Edge & Christian) vs. The Hardys- Well, these guys put on consistently good matches so again, expect more of the same! I'm really rooting for 2Blonde to win because a splitup is imminent down the road and I think it would be great if these 2 wore the gold at least once. I'll be happy whoever wins, these 4 guys have been busting their butts for quite awhile now!

The Dudleys vs. the NAO- I expect the Dudleys to inflict some major damage to those cocky Outlaws! Hopefully through flaming tables! No, i don't think the WWF is ready for that. Anyway..I loved Bubba's manic rant on Heat this week-I'm going with the Dudleys to be the new tag team champions of the wooooorrrllldd!!

The Big Show vs. The Rock- OK we've got that David & Goliath scenario going on again. This is hard, yes I said hard. It seems to me that there are at least 5 RAWs and an equal amount of Smackdowns between now and WM2000 so I'm thinking if Rock lost this, he could gain his chance back on one of the TV shows. So I'm going to say the winner will be the Big Show.

Cactus Jack vs. HHH- I'm reading predictions of HHH winning this, therefore allowing Mick Foley to retire and I'm torn between agreeing with that then hoping he fulfills his dream of retiring the main event of WM2000.I just really wish he wouldn't try to top his last cage match! HHH wore the crimson mask pretty quickly in the RR match they had last month and he's not looking forward to this cage match so I'm crossing my fingers, throwing caution to the wind and predicting Cactus Jack the winner and new champ!

There you go-if I'm wrong-big deal! Enjoy the show!

Let me leave you with some random thoughts:

  • Could that Viscera splash on Mae Young be the end of trying to sell an 80 year old being pregnant-PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
  • Seeing those vicious chairshots that Masato Tanaka takes-you think he has a short term memory loss problem? I'd love to hear what his wife has to say!
  • All those awesome high flying moves and RVD broke his leg doing...a baseball slide? Um...er...how lame...(Sorry RVD-get well soon!)
  • Tazz, please run don't walk away from the Big Boss Man and his Chia pet. A feud with him equals the kiss of death! Hear that sucking sound? He's a black hole, a vortex-get away-NOW! Seriously, do they consider him a step up from the Mean Street Posse?
  • I just noticed this on RAW-why does Tori run like her knees and feet are bound together? I was really surprised that Mick didn't catch her but then, he does have bad knees!
  • Umm...Edge? Honey? Did your girlfriend give you that mink-y hat? That's sweet! Now take it off-NOW!!!! And stop that flicking your tongue, it just gets me all flustered! Stop it-now! I swear between the Hardys stripping off their shirts, Christian slithering across the floor on his hands and knees and that tongue thing-I can't concentrate on wrestling! I take it back-don't stop.Mmmmmmm.........
  • D'Lo, D'Lo, D'Lo-you're depressing me with this fake pimp thing. You are so much better than this, it's really sad.
  • It was really great to see the Acolytes back in the ring, kicking ass. Those vignettes are amusing but they're a great team in the ring!
  • Welcome back Test! And Davey Boy!
Well, that's it for me, folks. Until next time............
