My Against All Odds '08 Predictions

Finally, I get back to this blog, and hopefully it's for good.
  • Eric Young vs. James Storm (w/ Jackie Moore) (DCS Match, Storm picks the stip.): This match is to decide who the real drinking champion is. It's been decided that James Storm, the man who won last time, decides the stipulation for this match. Does anybody see a bar room brawl coming out of this? As far as winner goes, I think Eric Young is going to win again. That is, unless Storm pulls out some crazy tactics that gain him the win. But, I'm really leaning towards Young. PROBABLE WINNER: ERIC YOUNG
  • Traci Brooks vs. Payton Banks: I think Payton Banks is going to win. Robert Roode will probably cause some type of distraction and it'll cost Brooks the match. Plus, TNA operates really funny so it'll definately be Rain--I mean Payton winning it. PROBABLE WINNER: PAYTON BANKS
  • Scott Steiner vs. Petey Williams (Case vs. Case match): This match is for the two remaining Feast or Fired cases. There has been a pretty decent war going on between Petey & Scott about who gets which case. Well, Jim Cornette found a solution; a case vs. case match with the winner taking both cases. I'm all for Petey bringing home the gold. He won't win the Heavyweight title, but he'll definately get the X Division title. Power to the Maple Leaf Muscle! PROBABLE WINNER: PETEY WILLIAMS
  • Booker T vs. Robert Roode: Booker T needs his night of revenge and he said we'll never forget AAO, and I wouldn't doubt him for a minute. It's good to have the old Booker back. So, Booker T has this. PROBABLE WINNER: BOOKER T
  • Motor City Machineguns & Jay Lethal vs. Team 3D & Johnny Devine (c) (Hardcore Street Fight): For those of you who don't know, this match has many stipulations. If MCMG & Lethal win, the person who gains the pinfall is the new X Divison champion and Team 3D can only wrestle when both of them reach below 275 lbs.; basically 3D has a weight limit if they win. If Team 3D & Devine win, the X Division is disbanded forever and the title means nothing. Team 3D & Devine have been winning by knocking the ref out as of recent and I wouldn't doubt it they did it this time so I'm saying the match goes in favor of Brothers Devon, Ray, & Devine. Watch this, the one time I pick them they lose. Excellent. PROBABLE WINNERS: TEAM 3D & JOHNNY DEVINE
  • AJ Styles & Tomko (c) vs. BG James & Bullet Bob Armstrong (TNA Tag Titles): Supposedly there is going to be a presenting of colors before the match & the Marines are going to be in attendence to support Bullet Bob and BG James; they have a long history with the Marines so they have major support. AJ & Tomko have been having some major differences lately but I highly doubt that'll make much of a difference. Kip James still seems really ticked off about not being BG's partner, even if it is BG's Dad. When they were cutting their promo on iMPACT! on Thursday Kip sounded really fake, which tells me he might be planning something. PROBABLE WINNERS: TOMKO & AJ
  • Awesome Kong (c) vs. ODB (Women's Title): Something tells me this is going to be another Beth Phoenix/Candice Michelle situation. Just like WWE is saving the belt for Candice, TNA is probably saving the belt for Gail Kim. So, it's still going to be Kong's. Should still be a good match regardless. Plus, isn't there going to be a rematch next week that's going to be a no DQ match? PROBABLE WINNER: AWESOME KONG
  • Abyss vs. Judas Mesias (w/ James Mitchell) (Barbed Wire Massacre II): This match is so bloody that it had to be pre-taped in Orlando rather than done live in South Carolina. With this match, I'm really not sure. Probably Judas Mesias because he beat him last time and TNA is probably trying to ECW these guys, therefore the heel wins first before the face does. Therefore, put Mesias on a winning streak against Abyss and at Abyss' last chance he wins. So, this ought to be a good match seeing as I'm a fan of these types of matches. Plus, didn't ECW do something like this before? PROBABLE WINNER: JUDAS MESIAS
  • Kurt Angle (c) vs. Christian Cage (Heavyweight title) (w/ Samoa Joe as Special Enforcer): So many wildcards in this match it's not even funny. You've got Karen & AJ who'll get involved in a milli-second if it'll keep the belt on Kurt. But, you've got Tomko on Cage's side to counteract Karen & AJ. AND, you've got Joe as the special enforcer. Kurt tried to threaten Joe to be fair on iMPACT! and Joe was buying none of it. Therefore, Christian is probably going to win but who remembers TNA's new policy? If someone wins on a DQ the champion still walks away the champ. Therefore, Christian Cage will win BUT Kurt Angle keeps the title. PROBABLE WINNER: CHRISTIAN CAGE BY DQ

And that's about the long and short of this PPV. Stick around for the reactions/results of the PPV.
