Backlash predictions
by bpapa on 4/25/08 5:50 PM
World Title: Undertaker(c) vs. Edge - I definitely see Taker retaining here. I guess the question will be whether or not we see another rematch for the next PPV, perhaps in a Cell match, or a Buried Alive match, or a Casket match, etc.
WWE Title Elimination 4-Way: Randy Orton(c) vs. Triple H vs. JBL vs. John Cena - The fact is that Triple H is due to win the title very soon. All along it was planned for the Game to win the gold at WrestleMania, but it was changed last minute when WWE feared that the Top 4 matches on that show were too predictable. Now, personally, since I'm a Randy Orton fan and I feel that the Age of Orton is just getting started, I would have Orton retain here but at the same time set up a one-on-one match with HHH for a future PPV (perhaps even the next one).
Big Show vs. Great Khali - Easy to predict for 2 reasons. First, WWE is super high on Big Show now and want to push him. Second, Khali is taking off a month anyway. Show wins it here.
Shawn Michaels vs. Batista w/ Special Guest Referee Chris Jericho - Originally it looked like WWE was trying to turn Batista heel in this program, but since Chris Jericho was shoe-horned in as a heel it seems like that might not be the case any longer. Originally I would have said Batista wins via heel tactics to set up a rematch at the next PPV, but now I'm not so sure. To me this might be the hardest match on the card to pick.
ECW Title: Kane(c) vs. Chavo Guerrero - I mean, nobody really cares, right? I guess Kane retains.
US Title - MVP(c) vs. Matt Hardy - Is it FINALLY Matt Hardy's time? I'm not so sure. With the way WWE has booked things the past few years, I wouldn't be surprised to see MVP retain and then have a rematch at the following show.
12 Divas Tag Match - I'd say the heel time may as well win here, just to keep Beth Phoenix (and maybe Natalya Neidhart) looking strong.

12 Divas Tag match- I say Mickie James. I think they want to keep her momentum going.
(US Title) MVP vs. Matt Hardy- This should be a good match. Im expected MVP to win in a controversial way or get Disqualified. Their's probably going to be a rematch next month in a stipulation match.
(ECW Title) Kane vs. Chavo Guerrero- Obviously Kane.
Big Show vs. The Great Khali- Obviously Big Show
Shawn Michaels vs. Batista w/ Guest Referee Chris Jericho- Batista. Last time these two faced off Michaels won. What role Jericho will play I don't know.
WWE title Elimination 4 way Randy Orton vs. JBL vs. John Cena vs. Triple H- I can see Orton losing his title to Triple H in a one-on-one match so Randy Orton.
World Title Undertaker vs. Edge- The Undertaker wins this one. I can see them having a rematch next month in one of these matches: Hell in a Cell or a TLC match.

US-MVP
ECW-KANE
BIG SHOW
MICHAELS
WWE TITLE-Triple H
World Title-Undertaker for a while i can see Batista getting the title soon
From Treilond on 4/26/08 10:37 AM
MVP Vs. Matt Hardy for the U.S Title- I can either see that M.V.P winning fair, or by DQ setting up another match at Judgement day with a stipulation
Kane Vs. Chavo Guerrero- I see Kane retaining, but that guy that Chavo will try anything to beat Kane, even that dude, if not DQ Kane will win Clean
Big Show Vs. The Great Khali- I see Show taking it due to the fact that He hasn't really done anything since his return and the fact that Khali is going to India for a while
Shawn Micheals Vs. Batista with Special Guest Referre JERICHO- I see Batista winning but this won't be the end of the Fued, Micheals giving him the Sweet Music Friday just proves it, Batista hasn't laid a hang on Michaels yet, and Batista is due for a win
Fatal Four Way Elimination Match- Damn you could look at this in two ways, Triple H could go on to win because if you look at all of the Commercials promotiong this it starts off with Orton with that Kick to Triple H then pinning John, so Triple H could finally beat Orton in the end because it will be down to those two in the end, or you can Say that Orton could win, They could make Orton win and make it seem like he is really dominate taking out three of the top dogs in the WWE, so IDK Triple H or Orton, but at least Orton can't weasel out by disqulification.
Undertake VS. Edge for the World Heavyweight Title- Def Undertaker, I see this match to go on as long as wrestlemania, good wrestling here, but the feud won't end until they have Hell in a Cell, or Buried Alive, or TLC but Undertaker in TLC=EWWWW

bpapa ur very wrong about the Kane vs. Chavo match a lot of people do care about this match and thats because it'll pretty much tell u if ECW will be good the next year or bad ECW will finally be going uphill if Kane retains but ECW will go even more downhill if Chavo gets it back...
and Treilond Undertaker in a TLC would be very interesting cause can u say Chokeslam off ladder through table full of chairs on it but yeah i'm hoping for a buried alive
From JamesP on 4/26/08 8:49 PM
UT in a TLC match wouldn't be THAT bad. He probably could tell a good story in that type of match, and a chokeslam or Last Ride off of a ladder through a table would be pretty fucking cool.
From fyrooz4125 on 4/26/08 10:54 PM
WWE Title: Orton retains to keep the momentum and probably feuding with HHH because Cena is going to make a movie and JBL is going to take a back seat.
World Title: Taker retains. Going to have a Hell in A Cell with Edge at Judgement Day. It will be really weird to see Taker in TLC, but it still be interesting.
ECW Title: Kane retains and will have fresh feuds with other wrestler, possibly Kofi Kingston.
From 92tombstone92 on 4/26/08 10:59 PM
i would love to see Kane vs. Kofi feud but and i actually think Punk might use his MITB Suitcase Backlash and like take either the WWE or ECW Championship
From jeff on 4/26/08 11:31 PM
Taker faced Jeff Hardy in a ladder match and it was good. Besides the TLC match favors Edge and since Vickie is Edge's lover I doubt she will put Edge in a Hell in a Cell match. Unless Teodore Long makes the match.
From Treilond on 4/26/08 11:40 PM
Last time Edge said he was favored in TLC, he lost to John Cena, and UT VS. Jeff wasn't that good, it concisted of Jeff getting his ass kicked and UT looks weird on a ladder, and back to Last Ride and Chokeslam off, how would that be cool, but a FU off a ladder isn't, COME ON
From JamesP on 4/27/08 8:24 AM
When did we ever say that an FU off a ladder wasn't cool? Sure, the person doing the spot might have made me not like it as much, but it was a pretty cool spot.
From Treilond on 4/27/08 12:26 PM
It was awesome, and John Did well in that match, but UT is way to slow for that kind of match, and by the way James are you coming to backlash?

I have to work on my Algebra 2 project :(
From 92tombstone92 on 4/27/08 1:25 PM
how'd we get talking about algebra and the FU oh well ... and the Undertaker could always try to kill Edge and do a Tombstone off a ladder through a table
