Mr Indianapolis makes his return to the PPV Preview team. Someday he hopes to get Indy’d Indeed running again. Perhaps if he would start writing things with no chance of being outdated, he could get it accomplished. But until then - it’s time for the PPV preview!!

1) Divas Halloween Costume Contest
Akira:         ……Victoria as a “BANANA”??! BOOO! Bring back hellishly overpowered Victoria! Letting her and Beth Phoenix fight for the Women’s title is 100 times better than this…
PREDICTED WINNER: The girl with the skimpiest outfit…

Poe: Diva's Halloween Costume Match - Who cares? This is stupid and a waste of time. However, if I have to choose a winner it’s going to be Maryse. Why? Because that was the name I drew out of an imaginary hat. Keep this crap off my TV. I'm here to see wrestling.

Neil:  The contestants. Beth Phoenix, Michelle McCool, Brie Bella, Candice Michelle, Eve, Jillian Hall, Katie Lea Burchill, Kelly Kelly , Layla, Lena Yada, Maria, Maryse, Natalya, Tiffany, Victoria and Mickie James. - I couldn't care for this match, this is going to be the match where I go and make a sarnie and top up my glass. Maria will look gorgeous as ever and because she's my favourite I'm hoping for her. Your winner Maria.

Ranger:  Who gives a crap?

The Glide:  Maria.  Like it’s ever NOT Maria.  However, Victoria totally gets my vote just on general principle.  Victoria is better than you.

Phighter: Nothing to say.
Winner: Mickie James

Curtis:  A whole lotta Divas......a whole lotta drooling to be done! In honesty though, most the women in this match are downright gorgeous (apart for McCool) and the true winners are us, the FANS! But in the interest of keeping my Top Spot....I’m gonna try and predict a winner before I’ve even seen the outfits!
Winner: Candice Michelle

Indy: Who needs a push without having a match?
Prediction: Candice Michelle


2) Intercontinental Match: Santino VS ???
Akira:  Firstly, I’m counting on The Honky Tonk Man to earn the right to face Santino for said title.  After all, Santino calling for the HONK-A-METER is a clear indication of an impending face-off.  However, I have a strange and bad feeling Santino will still retain his belt because…
Winner by DQ (GUIATAR SMASH by HTM!!!) and therefore still champion: Santino Marella…

Poe:  Intercontinental Champion Santina "Why do I have a job still" Marella is going to win this no matter who or what they throw at him so this is pretty much a wash and a no-brainer. I really think its going to be Golddust coming for his belt and I'm pretty sure Dustin is going to lose it, too. So your winner via pinfall is: Santina Marella.
PS: Afterwards Piper and Honky Tonk are gonna run out and give the Italian what's coming to him.

Neil:  This match I am looking forward to, If Marella can start doing things in the ring that will make people notice him, we have a future BIG heel. He can work the mic plus this whole thing about the Honky Meter is starting to get boring. He won't lose however. I think personally it's going to Be Charlie Haas. [His gimmick would fit in perfectly] who will take the fall in this match.
Your winner and still Champ, Santino Marella.

Ranger:  Most people think it’s a given that Piper will be voted in, and with the track record it’s hard to argue. But, I think people are really interested to see The Honky Tonk Man. He’s something very few current wrestling fans have ever seen. I believe it’s completely within the realm of possibility that he’s voted in just because people want to see what he’s all about. I also think it’s pretty much a given that we all want to see Goldust voted in though. It would be nice to see him back, and I’ll bet money he’ll be involved in some capacity. Regardless though I can’t recall a title ever changing hands at Cyber Sunday save for Flair and Piper winning the titles, and I don’t feel like going through the history books. Your winner and still champion…Santino Marella.

Blackdoom:  Honky Tonk Man will be the opponent. When the Honky Donky Man appears, Santino will laugh at him and the veteran will say that he is not ready to fight, so the one who will fight in his place is "Honky Tonk Haas". This match will be won by Santino after his Boyfriend helps him, but a new feud will begin between Santino and Charlie Haas.
Winner: Santino Marella.

The Glide:  As much of a mark as I am for Rodney the Piper, I’m gonna have to say the fans go in the direction  WWE has steered them and pick The Honky Donky Man.  Santino wins with a rollup in a 30 second match.  Afterward, he gets beat up by all three.  Hopefully Roddy keeps his shirt on, and all in all this should be a segment it will be hard to get wrong.  Haas could factor in here, but I’m not going to make that a sure thing prediction, I think Honky will appear and wrestle a short match.
Winner:  Santino Marella

Phighter: WWE is pushing for Honky Tonk Man to get voted in. I think Tonk will get in, and then it comes down to the match. Honestly, I just want to see Santino lose his belt. I can't stand his type of comedy.
Winner: Honky Tonk Man

Curtis:  Ok as you all know, I’m the Vice-Chairman and active member of the Val Venis Fan Club and strongly put forward his case for more screen time and action ahead of a certain number of individuals (No names will be mentioned....Mark Henry) and am a bit disappointed he ain’t a contender here. Goldust and Honky Tonk man are legends....but there is no bigger legend then Rowdy Roddy Piper and I’m sure the fans will vote him in. As you may also remember...Santino and Piper have history (See Cousin Sal for more)..
Winner (and STILL IC Champ): Santino

Indy: Santino is due for a long run. Picking a legends match is just a stupid way to prolong it, since they’re very unlikely to get it. Especially since Flair/Piper took the tag titles a few years back. We don’t need the legends winning every year, do we? The only way I can predict a new champ is if Charlie Haas is interjected in place of the legend (making this a “Pick Haas’ Gimmick” match). But a doppelganger is still not likely to be champ.

Prediction: Santino Marella retains.


3) Rey Mysterio VS Kane
Akira:  This isn’t getting anywhere… since Rey has picked up wins via DQ, I hope voters join me in promoting the “No Holds Barred” match to finish this lousy feud and finally give Kane his much deserved victory over Rey-Rey.
WINNER BY PIN (CHOKESLAM!!!): KAAANNNE!!!

Poe:  Kane vs Mysterio, Jr. is going to be a Best 2 of 3 match. Rey Rey's going to get the first pin, but after that it’s going to be all Kane, all over his backside. I've seen some impressive Best of 3 matches from Rey Rey in the past - but not against such a clearly dominant monster. So this one is going to: Kane. (Expect some sort of attempt to take Rey's mask afterwards that's thwarted by Bourne)

Neil:  Best of three falls, No holds Barred or Falls count anywhere,- I am gonna go for the best two out of three falls. It's obvious. Let Kane get an obvious early Pin from the Chokeslam and then let Rey fight back and get the victory. Rey is my favourite wrestler but he is a main eventer now. Time to ditch the underdog crap and start making a name for yourself. Rey Mysterio will probably have to put his mask on the line again.
Your winner by TWO to ONE. Rey Rey

Ranger:  I can tell you what’s going to happen right now. No one wants to see a best of three so it’s not getting voted. Whichever excuse for hardcore gets voted in is going to go the exact same way because they are the exact same match. Seriously, the same rules apply to both matches. Kane is gonna brutalize Rey, then Rey is gonna come back with some cool hurricanrannas. Kane is then gonna brutalize him some more, and once more Rey will mount a comeback. It’s gonna end with Rey getting Chokeslammed through a table. Your winner…Kane

The Glide:  I think classical booking dictates this one pretty clearly.  While I honestly don’t know what to expect as far as the fan voting goes (I’ll call Best 2/3 just because they’re going to tick people off via the other two being…ya know…identical), I do know that Rey took the official win last Pay Per View, and looked good doing it.  I’m afraid in the long run because WWE wants to be all happy and kid-friendly, Rey will be picking up the tiebreaker win later on, but this will be the Big Red Machine’s time.
Winner:  Kane

Phighter: I think people will remember the Falls Count Anywhere match Jeff Hardy against Umaga and vote for it. This will be a fun little match. Kane's going to win this match, and the feud will end at Survivor Series. I look forward to seeing Rey Mysterio take punishment and not be the miracle underdog. It needs to happen more.
Winner: Kane

Curtis:  It’s gotta be falls count anywhere...the most attractive match in my eyes. Plus, who doesn’t wanna see these two guys battle quite possibly all around the building? Rey Rey sucks in special stipulation matches....Rey owes Kane one here....
Winner: Kane

Indy: Mysterio survived being de-masked right? This is a tossup - was Kane built up only to be brought down as usual, or are they serious about this? I’ll go with the optimistic approach.
Prediction: Kane.


4) ECW Championship Match: Matt Hardy VS ???
Akira:  So “The One Who Will Not Die” has finally beaten “The Silverback”.  If Matt finally found the magic button to consecutively beat Mark Henry, then who else can take him down for the title? Matt Sydal… I mean, Evan Bourne of course! Since they’re not so different from each other in weight and stature, this SHOULD be a better match than what we’ve seen from the Henry-Matt feud.  I expect Henry to somehow get into the match but I’m also hoping the authorities can push him away long enough for…
WINNER BY PIN (AIR BOURNE!!!) AND NEEEW ECW CHAMPION: EVAN BOURNE!!!

Poe: May the Gods open up the heavens and grant Finlay the title shot he very much deserves. This guy came back from a career threatening leg injury and has pretty much been a thankless workhorse since then. Give this man a championship before he has to retire, huh? Even if its that sham ECW title belt it still carries some prestige with it. And whether you like his more family-friendly gimmick or not - seeing pictures of Finlay in the ring with a bunch of kids and a genuine smile on his face does the heart good. The man's earned the right to do whatever he wants. But unfortunately I don't think he's earned gold.
Winner via pinfall: Matt Hardy. I don't expect a shot with the shillelagh afterwards. Beating on the face champ like that is too heelish for the current Finlay incarnation.

Neil:  Matt Hardy versus either Mark Henry, Evan Bourne or Finlay.- Now this one is between two. Finlay isn't BIG enough to get a title shot. I don't think he can make it a good match with Hardy. I'd love to see Evan Bourne versus Matt. It would make for one of the best ECW title defenses we have ever seen since ECW got 'remade'. However I still can't help thinking it's too early. On this knowledge I am going with Mark Henry.
Your winner and still ECW champion, Matt Hardy.

Blackdoom: Evan Bourne will be chosen as the challenger for the Title. The high flyer is the people's choice, no doubt about it. So we will have a great match, with some good moves by Evan (who will be also making his PPV debut) but, at the end, Mark Henry will make his way to the ring because he is the true Number One Contender. And the match will be over without a winner.
Winner: No Contest.

The Glide:  If WWE wants any smark EVER again to believe this voting is actually legitimate, the challenger has to be Bourne.  By the way, that’s a claim I at least tangentially accept because they already manipulate the choices so that it either doesn’t matter or the fan choice is a given.  But moving on, God love Evan Bourne, he’s a breath of fresh air to the show and he’s WAY higher on my favorite wrestlers list than Hardy, but for the same reasons he can take this loss here and he will not be any less over at all.  Hardy, on the other hand, is pretty over, but his title reign is still a little underwhelming and it’s going to damage him as a wrestler to drop his first ever world title on his second PPV defense.  So simply put, he won’t.  They’ll try to give him a bit of the rub by letting him beat the most popular guy on the show, and I think that’s a smart move as long as they don’t make Bourne look like total trash.
Winner:  Matt Hardy

Phighter: Face it, the World's Sweatiest Man isn't going to get in. I don't know a soul that doesn't like Bourne, so I say he gets in. This will transition into a nice face vs. face feud with Bourne vs. Hardy, and maybe Hardy will start entertaining us. Maybe that last part is a stretch.
Winner and STILL Champion: Matt Hardy

Curtis:  Unless the votes are fixed...there ain’t a chance in hell Mark Henry will be voted in (He may be the most hated man in America). Evan Bourne got my vote and may get a few more as this kid has got talent....but talent will never beat star power and that’s exactly what Finlay has got here....Many fans want to see The Irish dude with the leprechaun...and it will be so....Matt to retain no matter what though....
Winner (And STILL Champ): Matt Hardy

Indy: I figure this is how we find who the next serious contender is due to be. So...
Prediction: Matt Hardy retains.


5) Tag Team Match
Akira:  This is almost a dead-give-away… but who knows? I for one, prefer to see the match with a title on the line especially since it involves CM Punk (I still believe “Pepsi Plunge Punk” will return).   Rhodes and DiBiase Jr. will put up a fight and they should because this will further their reputations as imminent members of the new Evolution stable.  I expect Orton to get involved once again to fuel his feud with Punk and therefore…
WINNER BY PIN (Roll up? I don’t know everything…) AND STILL TAG CHAMPIONS:
CODY RHODES & TED DIBIASE JR.!!!

Poe: Only if the gods smile upon this match and allow Cryme Time vs Miz & Morrison. A tag team match needs good tag teams - and frankly I don't like CM Punk and Kofi Kingston as a tag team. I don't buy it. Miz and Morrison are way better. (And like it or not ARE pretty much a real tag team now. The chemistry they show in the ring, cutting promos and filming The Dirt Sheet pretty much proves that.) Now on to the match. As much as I want it to be the aforementioned wrestlers it’s going to be Team Priceless vs Kofi and CM Punk. Why? Because Goldust is going to run in and interfere to help his bro Cody out. Awwwwww. So your winners are going to be: CM Punk & Kofi Kingston. (Team Priceless Retains)

Neil:  Okay personally CM Punk doesn't deserve a place on any PPV let alone this one. Jamie Noble works hard backstage but doesn't have the charisma in the ring. I am going to go for Morrison and Miz dropping the match to Cryme Tyme. I am not a fan of Shad and JTG but they work like a classic tag team and they DO deserve a shot at the big time. Your winners: Shad and JTG.

Ranger:  I think most people forgot that Mickie and Jamie versus the Burchills is even an option. I don’t think anyone really cares to see MoMiz versus CT again right now. So the only option is seeing DiBiase and Rhodes drop the titles to Punk and Kofi. Your winners and new champions…CM Punk and Kofi Kingston.

Blackdoom: CM Punk and Kofi vs Team Priceless. You may think I'm crazy, but I'm looking forward to this match. Not because of the four wrestlers involved, but for the other two. Manu will be in the ringside and, surely, will try to interfere. Who will stop him? Montel Vontavious Porter, who, at the end of the match, will accidentally screw his new "partners" and make them lose.
Winner: Team Priceless.

The Glide:  I think it’s a given that Punk/Kingston vs. Priceless gets picked.  Not that Cryme Tyme isn’t over, but I think Punk’s name recognition and Kofi’s Jamaican Me Crazy factor will just outweigh that.  It’s a shame we couldn’t have both matches, though, I think they would both be fantastic.  Now, I’m torn.  On the one hand, I really, really dig Punk and Kofi as a team, and could totally see a title run.  On the other hand, I think Priceless is great and would be huge if they stop cutting their legs out with crap like the Cena/Batista title win.  I’m going to call it a draw and point out that Randy Orton still has unresolved issues with Punk.  That’s the hold card, and is enough for me to call:
Winners:  Priceless! Oh baby, I’m Priceless!

Phighter: To be honest, the only conclusion I've come to is that Noble will not be competing at Cyber Sunday. I actually think, just maybe, people want to see CM Punk and Kofi beat down on Team Priceless more than they want to see Cryme Tyme fight Morrison/Miz. It's a little known fact, but tag team championship matches at voting PPVs like Cyber Sunday have always resulted in new title holders.
Winners: CM Punk and Kofi Kingston

Curtis:  I think this match will be voted in as it has some big names as well as having the most at stake....CM Punk has fallen down the ladder completely ever since losing the World Title but he is still a BIG name in the eyes of the fans if nobody else. Should be a good wrestling bout but I see Team Priceless coming out with their gold intact....even though it won’t be as winners.....
Winners (Via DQ): CM Punk and Kofi Kingston

Indy: Could. Not. Care. Less.
Prediction: The heel team.


6) United States Championship Match: Shelton Benjamin VS ???
Akira:   Well… I guess I’m not going to consider what the voting majority wants and just hope that it will be R-Truth who’ll get the match.  I wouldn’t want this to sort-of-feud to end here though since these two have the capability to pull off good matches together.  I expect Shelton to do one of his famous "fake real botches” and leave himself open for…
WINNER BY PIN (CORKSCREW SCISSORS KICK) AND NEEEW US CHAMPION:
AAARRR-TRUTH!!!

Poe: A match that only people can watch online? Pffft. They aren't going to give R-Truth a title run that way. MVP is still suck as far as I'm concerned. And Festus, well, no. Just no. The retarded redneck schtick is getting old fast. This all being said I think it will be a good match featuring Benji and Truth. In the end though, Shelty will win it after something sneaky and underhanded. Your winner via sneakiness: Shelton Benjamin.

Neil:  Okay I only just saw this match added and it's where Shelton drops the title. He will either be given a much earned Main Event push or he will once more become a glorified Jobber. I know it's going to be R-Truth because of their little rivalry. Can't stand Truth to be honest, boring and needs a finisher, However I know what WWE are like.
Your winner and NEW United States Champion, R-Truth.

Ranger:  I believe Shelly Baggy Pants will face Festus. I don’t know why, but I think that he will be voted in somehow. Not only that I think he’ll win it too. I’m not saying it’s a good thing, I’m just saying it will happen. One possibility is that Festus winning the US strap could be the catalyst for the rumored heel turn of the country duo.
Your winner, and new champion… Festus

Blackdoom:  R-Truth. This match will be a quick one and the winner will be, without a doubt, the current Champion. R-Truth isn't ready (considering his WWE career, not his whole career), It's too damn fast to put gold around his waist.
Winner: Shelton Benjamin.

The Glide:  Truth takes the voting, although give MVP’s face turn a couple more weeks and I think he’d have a chance.  And they’re totally going to have the U.S. Title change hands on HEAT.  Hmmph.  Not.
Winner:  Shelton Benjamin

Phighter: MVP's on a losing streak, kind of curious to see how that will go. Festus is apparently going to get mixed up with Maria. That leaves R-Truth. He's beaten Benjamin plenty, and it would seem dumb for them to have him lose to Benjamin.
Winner, and NEW Champion: R-Truth

Curtis:  I think R-Truth will be voted in as he is the one feuding with Shelty at the moment...obviously MVP is on the losing streak of his life and to vote for him would be outrageous. Im going out on a limb here but I also see Truth bringing home the gold....
Winner(And NEW US Champ): R-Truth

Indy: Shelton has lost pretty much all heat. He got a break and couldn’t get it done. The break ends here. R. Truth has won over the crowd in record time, has an impressive moveset, and a unique look that works for him. MVP is also talented, but has been stuck since he lost the belt to Matt Hardy a while back. Festus is also supremely over, and is looking for a shiny belt of some kind. This is basically a “pick who you want to have the belt” match.
Prediction: Contender (Championship changes hands)


7) The Big Show VS The Undertaker
Akira:  How can you make a lousy feud even worse? Create a crappy online poll! Over there by the corner, you have the “I Quit” match which Taker would never allow himself to lose in that manner… Then in one hand, I have the “Knockout” match where you win by knocking out your opponent… Finally in  my other hand, I have the “Last Man Standing” where you win by knocking out your opponent… oh wait…
WINNER BY KNOCK OUT (BIG FAT HAYMAKER): THE UNDERTAKERRR

Poe: Let me start off by saying this. I love The Undertaker. If it hadn't of been for him I probably would have never started watching wrestling. That being said I think all good things must come to an end, and one of those good things is probably Undertaker's career. Storied, legendary, but too full of injury. He's a large man with a bad knee - two things that don't mix well. I have a feeling that the upcoming Wrestlemania may very well be Undertaker's last ride. (And he'll walk out with an unblemished record, too) But on to the match at hand. I don't know why everyone says all three stipulations favor Big Show when Undertaker has been THE unstoppable force for years. That being the case - Big Show wins via Knockout. Let me introduce you all to the Undertaker Formula. You lose two matches at lesser PPVs then win the third one on a big stage. So expect these two to go at it at least one more time as team captains at Survivor Series, then a culmination of the storyline at Armageddon where Undertaker is going to beat some ass in a Hell in a Cell match.

Neil:  Okay the stipulations are either a Knockout match, an I Quit match or a Last Man standing. WWE need to think hard about this one. They could let us the fans wait another month to see Undertaker win or they can use this match to Put The Undertaker over and let him get his revenge. Either way it is going to be a great match because the rivalry is heated. I am gonna go for I Quit [As the WWE fans haven't seen one in forever.] Undertaker takes the win.

Ranger:  While I don’t believe the voting is fixed I don’t think it affects the outcome of the match. Which I why I pick Undertaker as the winner to this one. I don’t think WWE will risk him ever saying I Quit, which I think has a very real possibility of being the match that gets voted for. Any of these matches would be good in my opinion. Your winner…The Undertaker

Blackdoom: Knockout Match. This is the worst option of them all, but the WWE surely will want to make this match this way. And I believe that Big Show stands a chance. But not a big one. Sadly, this one will be for The Phenom from Death Valley. I only hope this match is faster than the last one.
Winner: The Undertaker.

Glide:  I fully expect the fans to be good little sheep and follow the storyline WWE has laid out for them with the last PPV match, picking Knockout Match.  Now, I was shocked that Taker jobbed to Big Show even if it wasn’t by pinfall, but there is no way they let it happen again.
Winner:  The Undertaker

Phighter: Honestly, an I-Quit match would be Big Show jobbing to the Undertaker. A Knockout Match would be boring. As long as they can keep the violence up during the match, it will be a good one. 'Taker will win a fun little Last Man Standing Match.
Winner: Undertaker

Curtis:  The voting could go any way in terms of Stipulaton (Why couldn’t the options be Casket, Buried Alive, Inferno huh? It is Undertaker we're talking about!) But my winner is Taker....don’t know why...just have an inkling....he needs to get one up on Show after recent events....
Winner: Undertaker

Indy: Match type doesn’t matter. They’re all “giving Big Show the advantage”. This of course means UT for the win. If not, DQ. But either way, Undertaker needs to have a better showing than last time, lest it be unbelievable given the track record between these two.
Prediction: Undertaker, or DQ.

8) WWE Championship Match: Triple H VS ???
Akira:   Heaven forbid the majority vote chooses just one opponent for The Game… I may not voice my opinions a lot but Kozlov is doing really well so far.  Actual background in different fight forms is always welcome, plus he sells really well.  All he needs now is a better finisher than that head butt/stiff shoulder block/half-a-spear thing he does… Anyway,  “Triple Threat” for the win and since neither challenger is still “ready” for it…
WINNER BY PIN (PEDIGREE) AND STILL WWE CHAMPION: TRRRIPLE H!!!

Poe: The only true wildcard competitor in all of these matches is Vladimir Koslov. Nobody knows where WWE is going with this guy except WWE. Expect big things from him but don't expect a win at Cyber Sunday. Don't expect one for Jeff Hardy either, despite how badly I want him to be champ already. So how the final minute of ths match plays out will go thusly - Triple H has been knocked outside while Koslov and Hardy go at it. Koslov will hit his finisher on Hardy, but wait! Triple H comes in, pedigrees Koslov to make him a non-factor than pins Hardy. Why Hardy? Because Koslov can't be pinned yet. Even in a 3-way-dance. So your winner via pinfall: Triple H.

Neil:  Okay I think this is gonna be another match where no matter what, The Game wins. Triple H is the new Cena, Unbeatable on Smackdown and on PPV's. I wish WWE would think for the fans instead of certain people’s connections. Anyhow I am going to go with Triple H versus Jeff Hardy. Triple H retains.

Ranger:  This is the match I most look forward too because it has Jeff Hardy. We all know it’s gonna be a triple threat, however I do have an inkling that a Jeff Hardy vs. Triple H one on one isn’t outside the realm of possibility. Assuming it will be a triple threat though let’s see what will happen. The most plausible thing would be Trips pinning Jeff. That way Kozlov and Trips could feud and Vladmir’s streak would remain unbroken. In my mind Jeff Hardy is going to pin Triple H, Trips will get his rematch on Smackdown. Then Kozlov and Hardy will feud. Your winner and new WWE Champion…Jeff Hardy.

Blackdoom:  Triple Threat match. Here we have the most dominant Champion in the current WWE (Triple H), the hottest star of the moment (Jeff Hardy) and a great wrestler that has misteriously found his way to his first ever PPV appearance in a Title Match. I believe that these wrestlers are going to give us the best match of the night (just as HHH and Hardy did last PPV) and that we will not see a title change hands but we definetly see Hardy do everything he's got and Kozlov dominating the early match. At the end, a Pedigree will send the DX fans home with a smile on their faces.
Winner: Triple H

Glide:  How great is it when people spend six months whining about Triple H as champion, then realize that he’s going up against two perfectly good #1 contenders, in a match that is designed for belt changes (yes, Triple Threat it will be), and he still can’t lose the belt because one of the challengers is a liability to the WWE and the other is supremely green.  The simple fact is that Undertaker is the only guy on the brand who would be universally accepted as even a passable choice to hold the championship right now instead of Triple H (though my vote still goes to MVP).  Until they resolve the situation one way or another, and that may just be by regaining trust in Hardy again at  a certain point…
Winner:  Triple H

Phighter: I'm going to say this is a Triple Threat. During the last couple of minutes, Kozlov headbutts Triple H down to the mat. Hardy hits a Twist of Fate on Kozlov followed by a Swanton Bomb. Triple H throws Hardy out of the ring and pins Kozlov, resulting in that 'just missed the rung' buisness being ended at Survivor Series.
Winner, and STILL Champion: Triple H

Curtis:  WWE just want you to vote Triple Threat don’t they? It’s pretty obvious that everyone will....and HHH will be retaining here for the simple fact that Hardy ain’t responsible enough to hold the title whereas Kozlov has only been here 5 mins and it would be a HUGE risk putting the title on him....unless WWE are preparing a MASSIVE push that is....
Winner (And STILL Champion): HHH

Indy: I see no reason for this title to change hands. I frequently decide this for Cyber Sunday matches. Who is the challenger going to be? Here’s the thing - Jeff Hardy is the crowd favorite. But the WWE is legitimately probably trying to figure out how well they’ve sold Kozlov, and if he’s starting to get good heat. If you ever want to see Hardy as WWE Champ, you need to vote forever. Unfortunately, if Kozlov has grown on you (as he has me), then you’ll be burying his future in all possibility.
Prediction: Trips to retain.


9) World Heavyweight Championship Match: Chris Jericho VS Batista
Akira:  Right now, I’m going to admit and say I have no idea what the WWE writers are planning for this one.  The 2 competitors in this match have an extensive fight history with Y2J having more victories over The Animal, mostly due to team VS team matches.  Regardless, it should be entertaining and all but they’re NOT the focus of this match, no siree~ That title goes to the SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE who voters will choose and all I can say is it’s definitely going to be Stone Cold Steve Austin.  The match will be interrupted occasionally with both wrestlers questioning Austin’s refereeing capabilities and then…
WINNER BY PIN (STONE COLD STUNNER TO BATISTA!!!) AND STILL US CHAMPION: CHRIS JERICHOOO!! BUT WAIT, WATCH OUT… STONE COLD STUNNER TO Y2J!!! BEER BASH COMMENCES!!!

Poe: Despite what others may think I really don't Austin involved with this. WWE needs to just let him go already and quit trying to dredge up the Attitude Era by sticking Austin in as referee in a filler PPV like Cyber Sunday. If you want him to ref something give him the chance at Wrestlemania. That being said (and my personal desire to see Orton do the job) Austin's going to get the vote. However, your winner via pinfall is going to be:
Batista. Why? Because Jericho has a new show coming out to promote and probably needs some dental work done. Time for him to take a couple months off for that.

Neil:  Soon as the referees were announced this was obvious, I'm not gonna beat around the bush here. It's gonna be Stone Cold. Everyone loves to see him and the fact is we knew he was coming back a while ago [Summerslam] so It's gonna be Stone Cold. I can't argue about seeing a stunner in this match. I think to Chris Jericho after the bell. Chris Jericho Retains.

Ranger:  Really it’s pointless speculating on who the special ref will be. If it’s Stone Cold Jericho will get a DQ and a Stunner. If it’s Michaels he’ll get a DQ and a kick. However I think Orton will be different. It will look like he’s favoring the animal the whole match but when Big Dave goes for a spear Orton will punt him and cost him the match. Who knows, with the reputation the Orton kick has they could kayfabe injure Batista and give him some time off. Your winner and still champion…Chris Jericho.

Blackdoom:  Stone Cold Steve Austin as Guest Referee. I will try not to describe the match as I did in my column of this week. In fact, I will try to make this short and say that there is no chance in hell for Batista to end Jericho's reign at Cyber Sunday. Jericho will get disqualified and Stunned by Stone Cold to retain his Championship. Sad. But true.
Winner: Batista (via DQ, so stiiiiillll World Heavyweight Champion, Y2J)

Glide:  Austin obviously wins the vote, stupid as it is to stick him in this match when all he’s going to do is put himself over, as usual.  I shouldn’t gripe, he actually did a fair job of keeping the attention on the performers last guest ref job he did.  Regardless, I see no reason to give Batista the title.  They’ve got Jericho versus Cena already booked, you have to see that…so we’ll have to go with a DQ finish here.
Winner:  Batista by DQ

Phighter: Austin is there for the merchandise. He gets in to referee a Jericho title defense. Jericho's going to Wrestlemania, mark my words.
Winner, and STILL Champion: Chris Jericho

Curtis:  If Austin isn’t voted in as Ref I will never take part in these prediction again....I mean Orton and HBK aren’t bad candidates either but I mean come on....its Austin! It’s way too early in Jericho’s title reign to be getting suckered so he should retain here.....but Austin is a wildcard...so who knows?
Winner (And STLL Champ): Chris Jericho

Indy: Batista needs a title, or he’s buried. Either this feud extends longer by DQ, or Batista buries Jericho now.
Prediction: Batista , or DQ.


Thanks for tuning into our preview, and you can catch Cyber Sunday on Pay Per View Sunday night at 8 PM ET!


Update:  I have done my own snooping and it turns out that Curtis' claims of having the most correct predictions is untrue, either in bulk or percentage.  Bulk, I win thanks to Curtis missing a PPV.  Percentage is shockingly won by Johnny Martin, who was as flawless as can be at Unforgiven!  The race continues Sunday!  :D 

Curtis still gets his props, though.  The man kicks ass at predictions.  :D

   i think that Batista will win the title. after all, it has been said Batista wants a break from the business and WWE said they wanted to please him somehow and get him to stay so the ratings wont slip. their idea for that- give Big Dave the World Heavyweight Championship. so clearly, the odds are against Jericho. also, none of the refs like him. Shawn Michaels- come on, really? who do you think he will help out?
   Stone Cold- the only ref that would make the match go either way i think.
   Randy Orton- he wants Jericho's belt. he will more than likely make Batista win, and then drop him with an RKO out of nowhere. either that, or he will make Jericho win, for a few years ago when Evolution turned on him. you never know, this is going to be a hell of a match though.

    The Master of Puppets: Its not that we don't find her attractive, she just isn't the kind of person you would associate a title with. Personally if you just scrap the women's title (I am not sexist) on smackdown then bring back the crusierweight title and have all the women on RAW and all the crusierweights on SD. Wait a minute, then your just giving RAW the ratings...

    1) Maryse is the hottest diva. but that doesn't really matter because the diva that wins will be the one who is in good with the powers that be.
    
    2) Santino Marella is hilarious. "Honkey-donkey meter" he does have a past with RRPiper and Golddust could be present because of his brother being in the house for the tag match. SANTINO DEFEATS THE HONKEY TONK MAN.
    
    3) Kane. being that Ray won the last ppv. Anybody notice that Rey only needs one contact lens to be a mini Kane? the haircut is pretty close too. (just wishful thinking)
    
    4) Matt "gimpy" Hardy vs. Evan Bourne to be interrupted by Mark Henry. Mark Henry should be champion. 'nuff said.
    
    5) as much as I hate to say it. CM PUNK'D AND KOFI
    
    6) BISCUITS AN GRAVEEEEEEY!!! FESTUS IS DE BESTUS.
    
    7) It's a last man standing or Knockout match. Ok. Let's see. Knockout? well, who has knocked out whom? THE BIG SHOW (but watch for wrestlemania and the deadman.)
    
    8) Jeff Hardy won't get another push for a while til he learns to stay sober. so either the CHAMP retains or Kozlov gets the belt. My money is on the CHAMP to retain. even though I prefer Kozlov.
    
    9) SCSA returns to referee the match. Yes, beer will flow. There will be Pabst. Hopefully, Batista will be drinking it and pouring it over Jericho's unconscious body.
    
    Thank you for reading and ... oh wait this is somebody else's column.

    Everyone knows the voting is fake, so here is my quick run thru...
    1. Divas contest = Boring the lady with the least cloths wins
    2. IC Title Match = Goldust since he is making a return but ends in DQ with the HTM guitar shot.
    3. Falls Count anywhere = Kane chokslams rey threw the stage and wins.
    4. Henry wins voting to keep feud going = Hardy retains with help from Bourne or some one else to stop Atlas interference.
    5.Cm "I Like Pepsi " Punk and Kofi = New tag champs for one night and lose them on raw in re-match
    6. R-Truth (No Brainer) = New Champion
    7.Last Man Standing = K.O. by Big Show or DQ by Chavo helping TAKER or a surprise Paul Bearer Appearance(but this is coming soon).
    8.Triple Threat Match = HHH retains till Armageddon then losses to Jeff
    9.-YAWN- Stone Cold = Jericho retains gets stunned for the effort and Batista turns heal and either spears Stone Cold or gives him the Batista Bomb (depending on Austins neck)
    
    Boring PPV which everyone knows who will win, as far as HAAS in the IC picture not yet some how the Honky Tonk Hass will be a later date. And if they keep this up a year I will never watch Raw again Santino is not on the level as Honky Tonk and never will, And why is WWE brining back old records, hell if anything Koslov is getting to Goldberg and Undertakers record of never being beat in his first year. Whats next someone beating Orton's youngest champ record? OH YES that is coming next year... Enough said get rid of Cyber Sunday period point blank.

    I personally think that Big Show will win, they are really trying to build him up, if it's a last man standing match, they will do something extreme (not sure what yet) Big Show will get up at the count of 9 for a win. Once he is still tired, Undertaker sits up, and starts attacking Big Show, to be thwarted by his Giant Fist

    Chris Jericho was to retain it but he took his caractertoo far with the fans on Raw and that is why he lost the belt to BATISTA
