December 15, 2013WWE TLC Predictions & Thoughts
December 15, 2013Unification TLC Match
World Champion John Cena vs. WWE Champion Randy Orton
Mascara De Fuego: Title(s) held up. I’ve gone back and forth about how this match will ultimately end and after the WWE had hammered us with getting ONE champion on this show, I now think its the LAST thing we’re going to get. I don’t think they are going to do the “swap title” scenario that numerous people have predicted where Cena walks off with the WWE Title and Orton takes down the World Title… unless that leads to the following… What I think will happen is we’re getting (another) screw job finish and the title will be held up once again. That will lead to something we haven’t had in about 22 years which is the Unified Title will be up for grabs at the Royal Rumble. As some of you know by reading my article on this unification match, I am not crazy about the WWE combining these titles once again but if there is an event to properly do this crowning of ONE champion, it would be the Royal Rumble. Back in 1992 the WWF Title was up for grabs in the Royal Rumble which Ric Flair won. This gave everyone a level playing field and a chance to win their biggest title. I think this bad build up to combining these titles could use another month of pushing how big a deal this is and could use one of the WWE’s oldest pay per views to get the point across. Now we’re not stuck with Cena or Orton as this “champion of champions” but now 28 others have a chance to win this title. After that champion is crowned you can use the Elimination Chamber to crown the #1 contender for the title at WrestleMania, that way you’re still having a big match to crowd the contender as well. I just don’t think either one of these guys should be the ones unifying these titles when there is so much indifference for these 2 characters. Lets be honest, people really want to see Daniel Bryan be on top right now and the only people that don’t want to see that are the ones who could make it happen. Its a stupid way to run a business. Anyhow, I’m hoping this is what happens.
Great Puma: Orton. This won’t happen cleanly and the first Unified Champion of the WWE is going to win this via shady means. I expect interference from the Shield or others to determine the finish. All this is going to do is to set up John Cena’s heroic road to Wrestlemania. It’s a cynical way of looking at the direction of the WWE but they always end up going with what they know instead of what we really want, which is a Daniel Bryan title run. Cena will probably get a rematch and get screwed again at the Royal Rumble. This sets up a storyline where he somehow gets another shot with Orton at Wrestlemania and the WWE gets their main event involving the two men they love to push the most.

December 6, 2013Why this Unification Match is a BAD idea…
December 5, 2013I think I am one of few who isn’t crazy about this unification match between Cena and Orton. I understand what most are saying with there only being one brand now but I thought I would list out my reasons on why I think one unified champion is flawed.
