We'll be back right after order has been restored here in the Omni Center.
That the universe was formed by a fortuitous concourse of atoms, I will no more believe than that the accidental jumbling of the alphabet would fall into a most ingenious treatise of philosophy - Swift
Lexus had the post of the thread, I think Though the whole "CM Punk" chant and Del Rio getting the belt is actually rather feasible ... moreso than F5s to two members of 80's hair metal bands.

Oh dear Lord of all that is Holy, PLEASE let this happen and Zeb put the old girl over his knee for a good old fashion All American Uncle Zeb Spanking!
YOUR 2012 NCCA Tournament Bracket Challenge Winner
1. Cena/Reigns/Kane/Orton - (Fatal 4 Way for the WWE World Heavyweight Title) - Cena over Kane via AA via Orton screw-up on Kane.
2. Rollins/Ambrose - Rollins with the Curb Stomp pin.
3. Jericho/Wyatt - Wyatt by Sister Abigail.
4. Intercontinental Title Battle Royal - Depending on what happens, Big Show if he appears, Cesaro if he doesn't.
5. AJ/Paige (Divas Title Match) - AJ by rollup, nothing happens then, if turn happens, could happen on Raw.
6. Usos/Harper & Rowan - (2/3 fall WWE Tag Team Title Match) - Rowan wins fall 1 with big boot, Usos win by splashes for fall 2, Harper wins fall 3 by clothesline to win titles...finally.
7. Rusev/Swagger - I don't know if the plane tragedy during the week could impact direction with Rusev/Lana from now on (ala Muhammad Hussein years ago), but either way, Swagger by DQ, Rusev doesn't beat 5 count to break.
8. Naomi/Cameron - (Kickoff Match) - Naomi wins, but it will be the first of many matches with the two.
If bonus match is involved, Rose over Jack Sparrow (Sandow in pirate gear) via Party Foul.
Will there be a possible MITB cash in at the end...Rollins is going to try, but Ambrose cuts him off, then Cena and finally Reigns spears Rollins to end the PPV. Plan C holds off until Raw the next night.
No bonus points for calling a night of lame finishes, eh?
Cena Ambrose Wyatt Wyatts AJ Cesaro Rusev, with Lana's help, survives a barrage of running forearms and a torture rack to defeat Swagger. Post-match, he beats Swagger down with the Russian flag, leading to a flag match at Summerslam. Maybe Swagger wins that? I'm astonished at this feud's heat; I thought Rusev's only prayer of ever getting over would be as an ironic babyface, and totally missed that he could be even better as an ironic heel. Anyway, at 6:05 on TBS the Saturday following Summerslam, the winner faces Fidel Sierra, and the winner of that gets to face Hacksaw at the 2015 Flag Match PPV. Naomi
Jericho over Brey. But then post-match the Wyatts kidnap Jericho, kind of like they did to Kane (which was never talked about again?) and then Jericho joins them for the summer, getting to play out his "end of the world" vignettes from 2012 (which were never talked about again?)
* Cena retains * Ambrose in a screwy fashion * Bray over Jericho * Wyatt Family wins the belts * AJ retains * Rusev beats Swagger * Kofi wins the IC battle royale...they won't give him a Royal Rumble win, but this a low-stakes enough event to let one of Kingston's crazy saves actually pay off. End comes when Cesaro thinks he has him eliminated but Kofi somehow stays in and then tosses Cesaro to regain the belt. Kofi does gets some BAD NEWS in the form of a bullhammer elbow after the match, however, as Barrett is a bad sport about surrendering his title. * Adam Rose over Fandango * Naomi over Cameron
(edited by Big Bad on 20.7.14 1948) "It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone." --- Bart Giamatti, on baseball
What I'm hoping for in the main event: Lesnar comes down, destroys everyone in sight. Rollins, having lost to Ambrose earlier in the evening, comes down with the briefcase. Before he can cash in, Ambrose comes down to stop him, only to be laid out by Lesnar. Rollins cashes in and wins the title. Lesnar laughs and beats up Cena some more for fun. This sets up Cena/Lesnar and Rollins/Ambrose (now for the title) for SummerSlam. Reigns gets HHH. Lesnar destroys Cena. Ambrose beats Rollins for the title. Night Of Champions, we get Lesnar vs Ambrose for the title. Crazy, doesn't-know-when-he's-beaten Ambrose gets his ass kicked by Lesnar but just keeps coming back, until finally Rollins interference puts him down. Rollins and Ambrose do the super heated, uber personal blow-off at the next PPV (Rollins wins) and Reigns (who by now will have ran through HHH, Kane and Orton) moves on to Rollins before setting his sights on the big WrestleMania showdown with champion Lesnar.
What I'm expecting from the main event: Cena wins.
Rollins beats Ambrose Wyatt beats Jericho Rowan/Harper beat the Usos AJ beats Paige Rusev beats Swagger Cesaro wins the Battle Royale Cameron beats Naomi
WWE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FATAL FOUR WAY JOHN CENA v ROMAN REIGNS v RANDY ORTON v KANE Honestly, with the overt predictability of this match, combined with the blatant leak of the Summerslam promo, makes it seem like we could be getting set up for a swerve. Or it would seem that way if literally anyone else on earth was champion. John Cena picks up all three guys at once for the AA and pins them in a big pile. Seth Rollins tries to cash in the briefcase and gets pinned too. Cena also beats Bray Wyatt again in there somewhere while he's at it. Afterwards, Roman Reigns gives the Handshake of Respect to Cena and they form a new super Shield that's way better than the original one (called The Super Shield That's Way Better Than The Original One) with probably Sheamus or something.
20 MAN INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE ROYAL I BO-lieve!!
TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP TWO OF OUT THREE FALLS THE USOS v LUKE HARPER & ERICK ROWAN No good reason to do this match yet again, besides the fact that they're always excellent, if you're not going to finally have The Wyatts win.
DIVAS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH AJ LEE v PAIGE Paige turns heel, regains the title and these two feud for the rest of the year.
JACK SWAGGER v RUSEV Rusev, but in a screwy way that lets them drag this out to Summerslam. The heat is off the charts.
CHRIS JERICHO v BRAY WYATT Too soon to job Jericho, no reason to job Wyatt and definitely a big Summerslam program. Let's say no contest.
SETH ROLLINS v DEAN AMBROSE Yet another "no clear cut winner so they can fight again next month" situation. I've had the show pretty heel-heavy, so let's say Dean Ambrose takes this one.
THE ONE FUNKADACTYL v THE OTHER ONE Who gives a shit?
we'll probably get regular women's matches on raw and "every once in a while" matches on smackdown. right now you got jazz vs. ivory and a random tag match where each of them gets a non wrestling diva. i'm in no big hurry to see tori vs.
