Linda's Thoughts - No Mercy Predictions
Date Added: October 05, 2008
Story By: Linda Robin
Last year at this time I was counting the hours, minutes and seconds before my son and I went to No Mercy. Well tonight I’m not AS excited since I won’t be there live but I am really looking forward to the show. I have gotten a lot of your predictions and I will answer each one hopefully before No Mercy begins. I see a pattern for the WWE title match. And I’ll tell you more when I get to that match. Okay so here are my almost perfect picks for tonight.
Women's Championship Match – Beth Phoenix vs. Candice Michelle If it were up to me this match would be Phoenix vs. Mickie not Candice. I am a Candice fan because this woman has improved so much when it comes to her wrestling. But because she really hasn’t been in a program since her return from her last injury I just feel that they put her in this title match too soon. If we get the Candice prior to her first broken collarbone then we are going to get a very good match. I just worry that she hasn’t found her groove yet and this could turn out to be nothing special. I am sticking with the Glamazon for the win and hopefully this will turn out to be a decent match. Winner: Beth Phoenix
Rey Mysterio vs. Kane I think Mysterio is the guy that is going to carry this match. Of course Kane will work his ass off as well, but it’s going to be Rey’s highflying moves and his speed that should make this one passable. I do not see Rey losing the match; because there is NO way that we are going to start seeing a maskless Mysterio. As I said look for some cool moves by Mysterio and I’m sure Rey is going to bump like crazy. I will definitely go with Rey for the win and I see Kane will continuing to go after the masked man. I don’t think it will end tonight. Winner: Rey Mysterio
ECW Champion Matt Hardy vs. Mark Henry Okay sure Matt didn’t pin Mark Henry at Unforgiven. And sure that’s Henry’s big beef that Hardy won but not because he pinned him. Well tonight Matt Hardy will pin the big guy and continue to reign as the ECW champion. Gosh I don’t know what we will see here, but with Matt in there it should be a decent match. Winner: Matt Hardy
Big Show vs. Undertaker I will keep this short. I don’t like this feud, if that’s what you want to call it. I have absolutely no interest in it and I see this being the weakest of the show. I’m going with Taker for the win, and really that’s all I can say about tonight’s match. Winner: The Undertaker
Batista vs. JBL Here’s another match that I’m not exactly dying to see. I never cared for any match that these two had together years ago, so maybe that’s why I’m not that into watching this one. HOWEVER, Batista has come a long way since his last feud with JBL and even though I’m not a JBL fan when it comes to his wrestling I know he is going to give his all. I would say this might not be as weak as I’m thinking it could be. I am picking Batista for the win. I just don’t see JBL getting a title shot at this time. Winner: Batista
WWE Champion Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy This is the one that I’m seeing a pattern with when it comes to your picks. By that I mean it’s 50/50 when it comes to who is going to win. I was going with a clean Triple H win, but this morning I thought about it, see I really do think hard about whom I’ m going to pick. And now I think Kozlov will interfere, Jeff will win on a DQ and Hunter will still leave with the belt. You have to figure Kozlov is showing up since he’s gone after Hardy and Triple H week after week. If there is interference I hope it doesn’t take away from what could be a very strong, solid match. Winner: Jeff Hardy on a DQ
World Heavyweight Championship Ladder Match – Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels At first Shawn was my winner, I figured this is his time, but after giving it a lot of thought I feel that Jericho will win and that things will still continue with these two. You can bet that this will be the match of the night. I cannot wait to see these two go at it, and I really hope no one gets hurt here because HBK and Jericho are going to give 110 percent and I believe that the majority of the fans are going to be on pins and needles during this baby. Winner: Chris Jericho
There you have it, hey did you notice that the former World Champion CM Punk isn’t in one match? I’m sure you did, it’s not to say that a match with Punk and Kofi Kingston vs. Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase won’t be added, but I think it’s sad when a guy like Punk is an after thought. On a personal note Molly and Sherri have a great time, and I want to hear how it was being there live from both of you. I will be back Tuesday with my Raw and No Mercy thoughts, and hopefully they will be very happy thoughts about both shows.
