Prophecies of Stone Cold Steve Austin

The Great American Bash 2008


Triple H vs. Edge

WWE Championship

Prediction:Triple H
Prophecy:My guesstimate is that Triple H will retain the title and move on to some new competition. I'm not exactly sure who Triple H will begin feuding with, but I don't think it will continue to be Edge. Edge has hit drama with Vickie and Alicia, so I think that having the title would drag him away from that storyline, but I feel like they are going somewhere good with the Edge/Vickie/Alicia love triangle. The SmackDown before the event was really good. I thought it was a job well done for the producers and writers! There is always the chance that Edge will win by disqualification, but no matter what, I predict that Triple H will walk away as champion.
Result:Triple H wins
1 Point Awarded

CM Punk vs. Batista

World Championship

Prediction:CM Punk
Prophecy:Punk just got the title, and I don't see any way that they will just hand the title off to Batista after the crowd reaction that Punk has been getting. Batista will most definitely get the title back eventually, but this pay-per-view event is way too soon. I see a clean finish for this match, considering both competitors are faces. I don't know how, or if Kane will be a part of the card, but he could always come in during this match and cause a double-disqualification, or no-contest. My predication is that Punk walks away champion.
Result:Draw

Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho

Prediction:Chris Jericho
Prophecy:This feud is very boring, in my honest opinion. They take turns scoring victories in their matches, and if I recall correctly, Michaels won the last bout, so logic says Jericho will win the next one. This feud really needs to end, because it's probably the least-interesting feud out of all three brands right now...next to Henry/Dreamer.
Result:Chris Jericho wins
1 Point Awarded

John Cena vs. JBL

NYC Parking Lot Brawl

Prediction:John Cena
Prophecy:Well, I'm going to the event...and I have to throw in, that I cannot wait for this match. Anyway, I say Cena will win, because Cena is still one of their top three guys, and to have him on the bottom of a car crash attack on Raw, and then loosing another match at a pay-per-view. Especially when it is a parking lot brawl. Cena will win, and hopefully both men will find a new feud to work with.
Result:John "Bradshaw" Layfield wins
0 Points Awarded

Mark Henry vs. Tommy Dreamer

ECW Championship

Prediction:Mark Henry
Prophecy:It's not very smart to leave a lock here, but I'm going to do it anyways. Henry will definitely walk away as champion, but since Dreamer is known for his weapon use, and getting disqualified for doing so. So either Henry will squash Dreamer to win, or Dreamer will get himself disqualified, and Henry still retains.
This is my lock.
Result:Mark Henry wins

Michelle McCool vs. Natalia Neidhart

Divas Championship

Prediction:Michelle McCool
Prophecy:Natalia is still new, and that is really the only reason I have to predicting McCool. I don't understand why they would want either of these girls to be the first ever champion, but if they have to be, McCool will most likely come out on top, and walk away with the new title. I want to see the title on Victoria. She is the best female wrestler left on SmackDown, and really deserves a long, long run as a champion, because she hasn't had the chance in years, since her move from Raw to SmackDown.
Result:Michelle McCool wins
1 Point Awarded

Fatal Four Way

WWE Tag Team Championship

Prediction:Miz & Morrison
Prophecy:In this match, we can pretty much rule out Hawkins and Ryder due to their drama with Edge/Vickie/Alicia. Jesse and Festus are just not there yet. If you told somebody that Jesse and Festus are the new champions, 5 out of 10 people might even ask, "Who are they, again?" Now, I would love it if Finlay and Hornswoggle won the titles, and there is a chance. But every time I go against Miz and Morrison, it backfires. I really want Finlay and Hornswoggle to win, but I have to go with Miz and Morrison on this one. Sometime soon, though, they will lose the titles, and start feuding with each other.
Result:Hawkins & Ryder win
0 Points Awarded

Matt Hardy vs. Shelton Benjamin

United States Championship

Prediction:Matt Hardy
Prophecy:These titles have not changed handle frequently in years. The last title change in WWE was the World Heavyweight Championship, and before that, I believe was the World Tag Team Championship. Titles don't change on easy matches like this one, especially with the guys that everyone likes vs. everyone hates. Hardy retains, even if Benjamin gets himself disqualified or something.
Result:Shelton Benjamin wins
