TLC

Well I got a few predictions right for the TLC PPV. Too bad they didn't advertise ALL the matches they were going to have. I thought the card looked a little small. Obviously the big surprise was Daniel Bryan becoming the new Heavyweight champion. I couldn't beleive it. That is awesome but this victory is bitter sweet to me. I did want D. Bryan to be champion, but just not on THIS ppv. What's wrong with the Royal Rumble or Wrestlemania? He still might be champ by Wrestlemania time, but I won't hold my breathe. I am still surprised that RVD is the only MITB winner to announce when and where he was going to cash in the breif case and follow through with it.
Overall the PPV was good...not great. It did keep me guessing and new champs were crowned which is always entertaining. Will 2012 be the year for Zack Ryder and Daniel Bryan? Time will tell.

TLC predictions

The WWE PPV is in several hours and that means that it is prediction time. What's first?

Orton vs. Wade Barrett(Tables Match). WWE seems to be giving Barrett an unbelievable push lately. He has beaten Orton more than once and his team won on the last PPV.
So I think that they will continue the "Barret Barrage." I'll take Wade Barrett to win.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Zack Ryder(US Championship). In short, Zack Ryder has way too much heat behind him to lose this match. I would be SURPRISED if Zack Ryder lost this match. Zack Ryder for the win

Cody Rhodes vs Booker T (IC championship). A question if I may. WHY?!? Why is this match happening? Booker T? What? Was Jerry Lawler busy? I don't get it. Not saying that Booker can't wrestle...but you couldn't pair Cody with anyone else? Someone younger and can but on a better match than Booker. But I could be wrong maybe the match will be good...maybe. But I'll still take Cody for the win.

Triple H vs Kevin Nash(Ladder Match) I know why this match is taking place...but does anyone expect Kevin Nash to climb a ladder with the condition his knees are in? He may try once or twice but he won't get the hammer at least not by climbing the ladder. Triple H is going to get the hammer...and then Kevin Nash is going to get it away from him or use another weapon i.e. ladder. This is a hard match to predict. I'm going to go with Triple H to win.

Big Show vs. Mark Henry(World Heavyweight Championship) Another hard match to predict. Mark Henry has had the belt for a little while now but maybe not long enough for WWE. Maybe Kane will interfere in the match. I don't know. I'll go with Mark Henry for the win.

CM Punk vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. The Miz (WWE Championship) CM Punk just became champion so I don't think he will drop the belt for that reason. Another reason would be that CM Punk has won more ladder matches than his opponents...I think. I'm going to take CM Punk for the win.

Thoughts about the United States Championship

I was very surprised the amount of air time that the US championship got this past Monday night on RAW. I can't remember the last time they spent so much time on THIS belt. Not saying that it was a bad thing. That's what they should do for every...almost every title anyway. Build a story around the title. It's not that difficult, especially if the 1# contender has as much heat as Zack Ryder does right now. It would be good to have an actual rivalry for the U.S. title and the intercontential title as well.
