make some bold predictions

[alex0816]

at this time last year, if you told me in 2010 bret hart and shawn michaels would hug in the ring, the miz would be a world champion, jeff hardy would go to tna, or kane wouldnt be a jobber, i would have said your crazy.

so simple task, make some bold predictions, here's mine:
1.John Morrison will win the royal rumble and face the miz at mania
2. Hogan and Bischoff will be gone from tna within the year
3.the mystery gm on raw WON'T be revealed
4.Samoa joe will win the tna world title
5.jack swagger will be released
6.kofi kingston and rey mysterio turn hell, cena doesnt

[Valdora]

1. TNA will do one more big WCW angle over
2. John Cena will face Randy Orton at Wrestlemania 27
3. Alberto Del Rio will win a money in the bank
4. Another big name will leave TNA to go back to ROH
5. Tyler Black will flop in WWE

Here are my top 10. Some are probably not going to happen but, like you said, no-one ever thought Bret Hart would hug Shawn Michaels.

1. The Rock will make some kind of appearance (not necessarily a wrestling role).
2. The RAW GM will be revealed and it won't be a surprise.
3. Randy Savage will make an appearance on either TNA or WWE programming.
4. I agree, Rey Mysterio will turn heel.
5. Daniel Bryan will not win a World Championship.
6. Undertaker will retire.
7. Shawn Michaels will be involved in Wrestlemania in a non-wrestling role.
8. A more out-there one which I don't think will happen. Brock Lesnar will sign a contract with WWE.
9. TNA will move to Mondays, lose all money and die.
10. There will be 9 WWE Championship title changes.

1. Wade Barrett will lose control of the Nexus and will have to team with Cena to take down the Nexus.
2. TNA will try to replicate the end of "The Departed" with Hogan, Bischoff, Russo, and Dixie, and it will be the highest rated segment in TNA history.
3. Mysterio will get injured and retire.
4. Daniel Bryan will win MITB and become a double champion.
5. Oprah will be a guest host on RAW.
6. WWE will buy TNA.
7. Randy Savage will be reveled as the RAW GM.
That's all I got for now.

Some cynical (and misguided) optimism (disclaimer: This is way over the top, and most of it (especially towards the end) is meant as dark humour):

WWE "predictions":
1. The Nexus expells Wade Barret, and under Otunga's leadership become gradually more "tweeners" than pure heels. Wade Barret, being the viscious, loveable psychopath that he is, becomes a bitter man, and a Nexus (mainly Otunga) vs Barret feud turns ever more violent.
2. Vince McMahon comes out of a coma, and rehires John Cena. A bitter and disillusioned Cena seeks revenge on the Nexus, and "temporarily" joins forces with Wade Barret in the process. Cena gradually lets his bitterness turn him heel.
3. Michael Cole and The Miz get married in a beautiful ceremony aired live on Raw! After a short rivalry between Cole and a jealous Alex Riley, Cole is fired by Vince, because he can no longer be "impartial towards the WWE champion", a title Miz holds surprisingly long.
4. CM Punk continues to do commentary as Coles permanent replacement whenever he's not in a match. JR comes back to complete the team, enabling Lawler to turn heel again.
5. Paul Bearer is officially dead and does not return for quite a while, thus ending the stupidity in the feud between Edge and Kane. This feud continues for a while, turning good in the process.
6. Triple H returns, feuds with Sheamus. HHH is so brutal the fans are shocked. Triple H turns heel, Sheamus turns "face" (think Taker-face, not Cena-face). After the initial shock, the fans start loving the brutality. Pay-per-views sell significantly more.
Then Bischoff dies of brain cancer, and a few days later Hogan inexplicably spontaniously conbusts on live TV. TNA turns moderately good, with Mick Foley becoming head of the companys creative team, and ends up giving WWE competition. After a few months WWEs PG-rating is history.
7. Daniel Bryan is quickly elevated from USA-title level to WWE-title level, and has an(other) epic feud with the Miz, resulting in many great matches. Randy Orton turns heel as he attacks Bryan after Bryan finally gets the title from Miz.
8. Dolph Ziggler and Kofi Kingston has a long feud. No one is interrested in the story of this feud, but the matches are great.
9. From 2012 the number of Pay-per-views is cut in half.
10. Undertaker returns at WM27 in a 6-man tag team match, teaming up with Cena and Barret to destroy the Nexus (this is while Nexus are still heels). 'Taker takes most of 2011 off to heal all his injuries, does only a couple of matches and a lot of good promos about how his revenge on Kane will be well prepared and viscious. At wrestlemania 28, after PG-era is over, taker goes 20-0 against Kane in the first ever I Quit-match inside the "Inferno in a Cell"-structure, a match going into the record books as the bloodiest ever. Kane is so badly burned that he starts wearing a mask again.

Many years later, a very rich and successful 70-year old Mick Foley feels his body is telling him his time is up. He decides to go out on a high note, as he has felt since 2012 that "the bloodiest match ever"-record cannot be held by anyone else than him . He re-enters the wrestling ring in japan, and commits suicide by chopping his own head of with a large knife while hanging upside down in the ring, story wise to avoid tapping out to a lethal submission move. This match leads to wrestling being shunned by the Moral Police in all western countries, and therefor leads to a greater following. In Japan the match is shown as a rerun directly after the most popular childrens TV-show the following saturday, and goes on to win the "Childrens TV program of the year" award in Japan.

I realise that this was for 2011, but I'll do 2011 and then until now. Let's see...

2011: Well, I was right about the Rock making an appearance. The RAW GM was never revealed, but I suppose it was a surprise. Technically, Savage did make an appearance, just not while he was alive (too soon?). Rey didn't turn heel, though he didn't do all that much anyway. Daniel Bryan did win a World Championship eventually so I was wrong about that. Undertaker didn't do anything in 2011 really, but he didn't retire. Shawn was involved in WM 27. Lesnar didn't sign with WWE, though I should get points for him being in WWE 12. TNA didn't move to Mondays or lose all money or die, which is a little upsetting (although I watched last weeks Impact and actually enjoyed it!). And there were technically 9 WWE Championship changes. Don't believe me?

5/1 Extreme Rules - John Cena beat Champion The Miz and John Morrison in a Steel Cage Match
7/17 Money in the Bank - CM Punk beat John Cena
7/18 - CM Punk was stripped of the title by Vince McMahon because his WWE contract expired
7/25 RAW - Rey Mysterio beat The Miz in the tournament final to win the vacant title
7/25 RAW - John Cena beat Rey Mysterio
8/1 RAW - WWE COO Triple H reversed Vince's decision and declared that both John Cena and CM Punk were WWE Champions
8/14 SummerSlam - WWE Champion CM Punk beat WWE Champion John Cena in a Unification Match which featured Triple H serve as special guest referee
8/14 SummerSlam - Alberto Del Rio beat CM Punk
9/18 Night of Champions - John Cena beat Alberto Del Rio
10/2 Hell in a Cell - Alberto Del Rio beat Champion John Cena and CM Punk in a Hell in a Cell Match
11/20 Survivor Series - CM Punk beat Alberto Del Rio

So there. I got 1, 3, 7 and 10 correct. Add in this year and you can add 8 to that list as well. Not bad, if I do say so myself.
