Prognostication Perfection
Well, almost! I went 6 for 7 on my One Night Stand predictions. My only error was not taking Cena over JBL. I'm surprised that match went the way it did. Are we going to be treated to another round of Cena v. HHH face v. face matches? Boy, we've been there and done that.
As for everything else, no real surprises.
HHH Defeats Randy Orton
Edge defeats Undertaker
Batista defeats Shawn Michaels
Hardy defeats Umaga
The Glamazon defeats Melina
Big Show defeats CM Punk, Chavo, Tommy Dreamer, and Morrison
I really was hoping Punk would go over the Big Show, but alas, my fears were right. Now Vince has set up his classic big man v. big man matchup for the ECW championship when Show takes on Kane.
Undertaker was indeed looking for a little summer break. Thanks to la Familla's interference, he lost the world title to Edge and has been fired from the WWE, well at least for a few months anyway. Don't worry UT fans...he'll be back from the dead soon.
Hardy defeated Umaga after landing the Swanton from the top of an 18 wheeler outside the arena. But all reports are that the segment was heavily edited, and that most likely, Hardy dove onto a mattress or something soft that was out of camera-view.
Batista stretchered HBK after landing a pair of power-bombs. The only curious development in the match was how Chris Jericho was used. He repeatedly came out to support Michaels and motivate and inspire him to get up and continue fighting. Weird? Where are they going with this storyline?
The Glam made Melina submit, and as I mentioned earlier, Cena took out JBL after forcing him to cough up blood by choking him with a steel chain while having the STFU locked in.
One other important note to come out of One Night Stand. It looks like Orton legitimately screwed up his shoulder after taking a wicked bump over the top rope. Apparently after the fall, the match quickly ended with HHH finding his trusty sledgehammer and unloading it on Randall's noggin. Referees and doctors then stayed with Orton for a long time before he was finally able to slowly get up and walk to the back. Early reports are broken collarbone, but we'll see what the official word is.
As for the show itself, word is it was a decent show, but certainly nothing that would blow you away. Edge and Undertaker seemed to be the big draw, and the rest of the show was simply passable. I'm sure the Orton injury cut short what may have turned into a decent match between him and HHH.
That's it for now...I'll be back later this week with my Raw recap...see ya then!
