RANDY SAVAGE - BE A MAN

Big C'S 2011 Predictions

Now, I'm no fortune teller, but I've come up with a few things that I think you can take to the bank in 2011.
1. The Year Of The Miz: I think The Miz will have a very big year! I think his current title reign will last at least into Wrestlemania. I think he will be entrenched into a main event heal spot. I think he'll feud with various big name talent, such as, Cena, Orton, HHH, etc. He will establish himself as the company's top heal.

2. Further Depletion Of TNA: I don't see things getting a whole lot better for TNA. With Jeff Hardy's trial coming, it looks like he'll be gone at least for a little while(possibly more if he goes to jail). I think that they're running out of big names they can bring in to mask the lack of creative direction they have. WCW had the same lack of creative dirrection, but they were funded by a Billionare! I'm not saying they'll go under within the year, but I forcast a steady decline. I see some of their talented under-carders jumping to WWE, and some of the older stars they brought in leaving the company.

3. Davey Richards To Be ROH Champ: At some point this year Davey Richards will win the ROH Title. He is the biggest star they have that has never left the company. He's being built up as an under dog, and will eventually take the World Title from Rodderick Strong. Richards is the perfect candidate to be the face of the ROH franchise, seeing as he's very unlikely to jump to WWE, or TNA.

4. The John Cena vs CM Punk Feud Will Elevate Both: I see this being a very beneficial feud for both of them. CM Punk needs a hot feud coming off of an injury, and Cena just finished a dud feud with Wade Barrett. It should be farely easy to draw heat in this feud, seeing as both are very strong on the mic. I think CM Punk has taken over Chris Jericho's roll, as the guy who can save any bad feud.

5. The Rise Of John Morrison: He's my current favorite to win the Royal Rumble this year. Unique talent, natural charisma, and a superstar build/look, He's got too much going to not push him to the top. Once he's given the chance, I think he will shine through.

Wrestlers To Watch In 2011:
Cody Rhodes - Look for at least an IC Title win.
Dolph Ziggler - Main evnter in waiting.
Matt Morgan - Big man with impressive mic skills. Getting a decent push with TNA.
Tyson Kidd - Looks like maybe a feud with Daniel Bryan for the US Title is on tap.
Alberto Del Rio - Wouldn't be shocked to see a World Title Win for him this year.

TNA is Fake!!! Proof!!!

The 1st Annual Big C Awards!

Award #1: Match Of The Year.
Honourable Mention: Daniel Bryan vs Chris Jericho - NXT 23/02/10
Great TV match between two of the most talented workers on the roster. Jericho was World Champ at the time, and he gave Bryan enough to put him on the map.
Runner Up: Daniel Bryan vs Dolph Ziggler - Bragging Rights 24/10/10
Exellent match, pitting the Intercontenental Champion vs the United States Champion. Two of the more talented young stars showcased on PPV. That's a rare occurance these days!
Winner: John Morrison vs Sheamus - Ladder Match - TLC 19/12/10
Great match to end the year. These two tore the house down! This may have been the finest work of both of their young careers. This is the match that has put Morrison in the main event. 

Award #2: PPV Of The Year.
Honourable Mention: Wrestlemania 26 - 28/03/10
Highlighted by Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels II, it was a solid Wrestlemania from top to bottom. A personal highlights from the card were CM Punk vs Rey Mysterio, and seeing Bret Hart back on Wrestlemania.
Runner Up: WWE TLC - 19/12/10
Edge's 10th World Tittle win, and  The Miz's first succesful PPV title defence headlined the show. It was the ladder match between John Morrison, and Sheamus that stole the show. I think it was the WWE's most solid PPV of the year.
Winner: TNA Hardcore Justice - 08/08/10
This ECW tribute show was nowhere near as good as WWE's One Night Stand PPV in 2005, but I still enjoyed it alot. It was the PPV I was most exited about this year, and it didn't leave me disapointed. It's too bad Jerry Lynn was too injured to compete in the originally scheduled main event against RVD.  I really enjoyed seeing Raven vs Tommy Dreamer, and RVD vs Sabu was a fine substitute main event.

Award #3: Rising Star Of The Year.
Honourable Mention: Alberto Del Rio - WWE
The former mexican lucha star debuted in a big way. His first program was with former World Champion Rey Mysterio. According to storylines, he has put Mysterio, and Christian on the shelf. He debubted with one of the best gimmicks given to a new star in a long time.
Runner Up: Tyler Black - ROH(now WWE)
Black really took off as the star of ROH. He had very strong feuds with Austin Aries, and Roderick Strong. Later in the year he signed a deal with the WWE, and finished the year in FCW. Hopefully soon he will be rising up the Raw/Smackdown roster.
Winner: Daniel Bryan - WWE
Bryan(the former Bryan Danielson) has been a star on the independent scene, and in ROH for years. Even still, there was plenty of sceptisism whether the WWE would use him in any kind of decent way. He's had good feuds with The Miz, and also with Michael Cole. He has had a nice run as United States Champion aswell.

Award #4: Wrestler Of The Year
Honourable Mention: Jeff Hardy - TNA
Made his re-debut with TNA earlier in the year. Later in the year made a shocking heal turn by aligning himself with the Imortal stable. He's held the TNA World Tittle for several months, and been feuding with RVD, Mr. Anderson, and Matt Morgan.
Runner Up: Sheamus - WWE
Came on the scene at the end of last year, and had an even bigger year this year! He lost at Wrestlemania to HHH, but soon after took him out for the rest of the year. Later he had his second World Tittle reign, feuding with John Cena, Randy Orton, etc. Late in the year he became the 2010 King Of The Ring. He's finished the year with a very strong feud with John Morrison.
Winner: The Miz - WWE
The Miz skyrocketed up to the company's top heal. He had a very big year, starting with a long reign as United States Champion, including a feud with Daniel Bryan. He won the Raw Money In The Bank match at that PPV, and cashed it in to beat a volnerable Randy Orton to win his first WWE Tittle.  The Miz is WWE's hottest comodity heading into the WWE's hotest season!

Big C's Weekly Thoughts

I'm going to make this kinda my weekly forum on here to let you know my feelings about what's going on in the world of wrestling. I thought it would be cool, especially this time of year heading into Wrestlemania season.
This week started off very well! As I previously posted, I thought it was a great ppv. The highlight for me was John Morrison vs Sheamus. I thought they tore the house down! There's already talk that this is the match that made Morrison a star. Either way, it has me exited going into the Royal Rumble for Miz vs Morrison. Aside from Cena vs Barrett, I enjoyed the entire ppv. My mood going forward after the event was very positive!
Monday Night Raw didn't start off all that well! I thought the opening segment by The Miz & Co, was very week. It ended up being a decent build to the main event, but it was pretty dgagged out! No Nexus! It was awesome not having them on the show. I hope they pull the plug on the whole angle(they won't). It was good to see Daniel Bryan vs William Regal in a short match. I would like to see these two have a longer tv match, or even a ppv match. Not often you see a really good match where neither wrestler touches the ropes! No dives, no huge bumps, just solid wrestling, and story telling! I have to admit, even I was entertained by the John Cena/Vickie Guerrero bit in the ring. Man, she gets heat! Cena vs Ziggler was entertaining. I like Ziggler quit a bit. I was surprized, and exited to see CM Punk attack Cena! This could be an amazing feud, and I hope it helps elevate Punk even futher up the card. It had a decent main event. I don't need to see The King wrestler every week, but it was nice to see Morrison in the main event. I enjoy both Sheamus and The Miz alot, All, and all it was a solid episode of Raw. A couple of complaints though. #1 Santino Morrella! Again, I think he would be best suited in a role where he didn't compete in the ring. I think he could be almost like a modern day Bobby Heenan(high praise, I know!). His whole match on Monday was lame, which leads me to #2; The Ted Dibiase/Maryse relationship. This relationship has caused both of them to descend down the card rapidly! At one one point not that long ago, Maryse was the top female heal in the company, and Ted Dibiase was considered the hotest young star in the company. They need to regroup with both of them!
Mood after show: even more positive!
I cought a bit of Impact on Thursday. I don't think there is even anything worth talking about. TNA has a roster that I wish I enjoyed watching! Too many gimmick matches, and terrible writing makes it farely impossible for me to sit through. I would like one day to sit down and do an entire rant on TNA, because I could go off in a big way about all that I don't like about their product!
I wasn't able to catch Smackdown, so I don't have much to about it. The week ended on a negitive in my mind when the WWE released Kaval(Low Ki). I think this was a mistake, and is extremely disapointing! Kaval was the wrestler I enjoyed the most on Smackdown(atleast until Christian comes back). They've assembled an entertaining under card on Smackdown(Del Rio, Ziggler, Rhodes, Kofi, Swagger, etc), while their main event is pretty stale(Edge, Kane, etc). I am much more likely to set my dial for Raw Forsure.
Mood at the end of the week: still very positive. Kaval wasn't involved in any major angle anyway. It's disapointing forsure, but there's still a whole lot I'm looking forward to going forward.

WWE Releases Kaval!

So, let me get this strait. Wade Barrett wins Season 1 of NXT, and they build a stable around him, and push him to the main event. Kaval wins season 2, gets 1 PPV match, and then gets fired? Unreal!  They needed to find away to make this guy a star! He should have been Smackdown's Daniel Bryan! They missed out big time by not having him wrestle Rey Mysterio, CM Punk, Evan Bourne, etc. If TNA were smart(they're not), they would capatalize by bringing him in in a big way. Maybe a return to ROH is more likely. That would be a huge signing for them aswell.

Big C's TLC Thoughts.

This was very enjoyable ppv! I was very impressed! All and all, I enjoyed just about every match on the card. That being said, I have a few grievances with the show. First and formost, Cena vs Barrett going on last! This boring feud takes priority over both your world title matches? Brutal! My second grievence is the tag team title match. Now all of the sudden Santino is being booked as the stronger half of the team? The tag division(or lack there of!) is total joke anyway, but Santino Morrella is not doing it any favors. I enjoy Morrella, but he think he is best suited for a managarial role, or somthing where he dosn't have to get in the ring. Heath Slater has inherited the distiction of being my most hated wrestler(previously held by Matt Hardy)! He's brutal, looks like a total dink, and is the biggest over-seller in history!
After all that, I still think this is one of the WWE's better PPV's this year. The Miz vs Orton was very solid. The 4 way TLC match was exellent. The divas Tables Match was better than I expected. The IC latter match was entertaining, other than the finish. Sheamus vs Morrison I thought brought the house down! I was pleasently surprised. It has definately helped keep my interest heading into the hottest season for wrestling.

Big C's prediction record:
4-2

Big C's Tlc Predictions

Here are my predictions for the 2010 WWE TLC PPV:

Natalya Neidhart/Beth Phoenix vs Laycool - Tables Match.
Predicted Winner: Laycool
Notes: I think this program is heading to a Beth vs Natalya match, possibly at Wrestlemania. By the conclusion of this match they'll be building toward that.

Dolph Ziggler vs Kofi Kingston vs Jack Swagger - Intercontenental Title Ladder Match
Predicted Winner: Dolph Ziggler
Notes: Tough one to predict. It would make sense for any of these 3 to win. I'll take Ziggler to win due to interferance from Vickie Guerrero. I just hope this is as entertaining as it looks like on paper.

John Morrison vs Sheamus - #1 Contender Ladder Match
Predicted Winner: John Morrison
Notes: Morrison makes sense to have him win and go on to face The Miz at the Rumble. I have a feeling this may be the long awaited return of Triple H. This actually might be the match I'm most looking forward to.

John Cena vs Wade Barrett - Chairs Match
Predicted Winner: John Cena
Notes: I have absolutely NO interest in this match, or feud! I picked Cena just cus I hope this is the pay off match to end this brutal snoozefest of a feud!

Edge vs Kane vs Rey Mysterio vs Alberto Del Rio - World Heavyweight Title TLC Match
Predicted Winner: Alberto Del Rio
Notes: Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I have a feeling they're gonna go for the upset win here. Everyone else in this match is stale, and I think they're just scratching the surface with the Del Rio character.

The Miz vs Randy Orton - WWE Title Tables Match
Predicted Winner: The Miz
Notes: I hear rumblings of Orton taking some time off, and I honestly don't see Miz's reign ending anytime soon. I think he will still be WWE champ heading into Wrestlemania.

I think this is a very solid card. I don't like the gimmick ppv's very much, but I have interest in all of these matches, exept for one. That's pretty rare! I will give my thoughts on the show, and how close my predictions were tomorow evening.

Big C's blogging again!

So, it's been a while........
Sorry folks, I've been a little busy the last little while. Hopefully I can find time to update this a little more often. This, as a huge wrestling fan, is the time of year where things start to get interesting. The Royal Rumble is always my favorite ppv of the year. Around this time I always start getting exited for the Annual Anderson Royal Rumble Party(at my pal Curtis'). The Rumble is the one ppv that no matter the outcome, is always enjoyable. Even if I happen to be down on wrestling at the time, the Rumble always brings my interest back.
Then of course, with Wrestlemania, and the Hall Of Fame following the Rumble, it's the most interesting time of year for Wrestling fans. In the coming weeks I will make my Rumble predictions, so those of you who are as exited as I am, stay tuned......
