No Mercy Tonight - Predictions.

Unforgiven turned out to be an ok show, every title match was good apart from the divas match. Although what CM Punk has done wrong to not only be taken out of a match but not even given a match on the upcoming PPV is beyond me, but Triple H was on the last RAW so maybe that has something to do with it.

I also think i'm more of a ROH fan than TNA, after watching several downloaded shows i went on the net and actually PAID to get some PPV action on DVD. The production still needs a hell of a lot done to it, as there pretty much isnt anything, but at least the newer shows have better lighting and sound. Id rather see quality wrestling than have everyone take 3 minutes out of a show everytime they come to the ring so we can see some pyro and hear some stereotypical music. You know what i mean, oh hey that guys Japanese that must mean he has to have oriental music, or that guys British lets play some classical music or he's from Italy lets put some Opera in there!!

Anyway i'm getting off the point what i'm going to do every post from now on (which i won't mention that it's meant to be weekly but it's been a month - oh well) i'm going to rank the top 3 organisations in terms of wrestling quality, storylines, stip matches and anything else that all 3 can do so it can be fair comparison. There's no point me basing it on ratings, PPV buys, merch or anything like that because WWE is and always will be the big player, TNA are never going to overtake them (or even feel like competition) at the rate the're going.

Rankings This Month 1. WWE 2. ROH 3. TNA
WWE has had a solid month the TV has been well booked and the last PPV had some great matches and originality, TNA are recycling an old RussoWCW storyline (which much like the ECW/WCW Invasion angle could have been huge if booked right) this time the old guys are the heels and the young up and comers are the guys to cheer - the right way to build stars. ROH and it's Age of The Fall storyline is continuing to tick along nicely and because of their simpler and more ring based product thats why the're ahead of TNA. Overall though September was a very good month for Pro Wrestling for the big three.

Onto my predictions for No Mercy;

World Heavyweight Championship Ladder Match: Champion Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels
This could be the match of the night, despite the reports coming out in the press to the contrary, I do believe that a Jericho Batista is in the offing, Batista taking the belt to Mania and defending it against Cena. For that to happen i see Jericho retaining the belt tonight. Would be great if Punk beats up Michaels so he cant compete and takes his place - thats repeat illogical booking Vince!

WWE Champion Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy
Jeff Hardy is NOT going to win, if he did he'd probably do an RVD so until he can prove once and for all to management that he's 100% on the ball Tripper will retain, and the match will be sloppy.

ECW Champion Matt Hardy vs. Mark Henry
This can't be as bad as the SummerSlam match, but Mark Henry is in the match so you can never be sure, i can see Henry regaining the title.

No.1 Contender To The World Title Match: Batista vs. JBL
This match has 'sucks' written all over it, Batista will win and lets hope he puts some effort in.

Big Show vs. Undertaker
Oh wow - This AGAIN. Not interested in what they can do, i just don't care. Taker wins.

Women's Championship Match: Champion Beth Phoenix vs. Candice Michelle
Beth will retain for now, i can only see her losing the title when Glamarella break up and i don't think that's going to be for a month at least.

If Rey Loses He Has To Remove His Mask: Rey Mysterio vs. Kane

WWE would be crazy to get rid of the Mask, it's such a great piece of merchandise, but with his contract running out and his injuries piling up, this could be a must watch piece of TV. I've seen unmasked Rey before but just imagine all those kids that truly have no idea what he looks like(and don't have access to the internet). Kane will win, Rey will remove his mask for tonight in the ring only - but i don't think this feud is over - if anything i think it may end up in a mask vs mask match. Rey wins and Kane has to re-mask.

Don't forget to watch on PPV tonight
