Prophecies of therock

Backlash 2005


Batista vs. Triple H

World Championship Rematch

Prediction:Batista
Prophecy:Batista may not be going over with the crowd as much as WWE would like, even though his pops are still bigger than Orton's ever were in the time he had as champ. Even though HHH may well pull out the victory (for obvious reasons ie backstage influence/McMahon etc) I'm going with the safer option and sticking with the current champion on this one. Surely we wont see another Orton HHH all over again, at least not with Dave. Thumbs up, thumbs down, Batista bomb, 1-2-3.
Result:Batista wins

Kane vs. Viscera

When Horror Movies Go Awry

Prediction:Kane
Prophecy:One of these angles again. I can see a resemblence to 2001 when Kane was fighting Big Show for the hardcore title, only this match will be worse. Kane wins with the chokeslam, not alot to right home about on this one.
Result:Kane wins
1 Point Awarded

Hogan & Michaels vs. Muhammad Hassan & Daivari

One More Match

Prediction:Hulk Hogan & Shawn Michaels
Prophecy:Dont put it past the Arab Americans to cause an upset here, but Im tipping a win for USA here. A loss wouldnt damage Hassan as he would still be technically unbeaten, if Daivari got pinned, as its a tag team match. Hassan wont be pinned in a singles match for a while yet. Hogan's last match...he'll get the pin for his team.
Result:Hulk Hogan & Shawn Michaels win
1 Point Awarded

Edge vs. Chris Benoit

Last Man Standing

Prediction:Edge
Prophecy:It's a shame that Benoit has to come out of this feud losing when a year ago he was holding the title...but I cant see Edge's momentum being stopped. He'll win all the way through to about Summerslam when he faces Batista for the main title through his money in the bank clause. Unfortunately for Benoit, he's going to be out of the frame for a while.
Result:Edge wins
1 Point Awarded

Shelton Benjamin vs. Chris Jericho

Intercontinental Championship

Prediction:Chris Jericho
Prophecy:Week by week, note how Benjamin's pops are nowhere as strong as Jericho's, and the crowds would love to see Jericho back as IC champ for another time. I'll go out on a limb and predict Y2J here, as someone else noted he could easily keep the title warm for a Smackdown star who would be moving to RAW after the brand extension. Having said that, it's been a top run by Shelton, who I can see rivaling Edge/Batista for the main title later this year.
Result:Shelton Benjamin wins
