Wow, much better in terms of Pay-Per View predictions this time around.

Match 1: The Hardy Boyz vs. MNM

My Predicted Winners: MNM

The Actual Winners: The Hardy Boyz

RJ45’s Perspective: Well damn, I thought they would ride that one out to Wrestlemania and get a TLC match or something cool. Maybe they still will!

Match 2: Matt Striker vs. Balls Mahoney

I Predicted: Matt Striker would Challenge Somebody and out would come Gene Snitsky

The Actual Winner: Balls Mahoney

RJ45: Well fuck, Matt Striker did make an open challenge though, so that rocks. I get 3 imaginary points on this one because I predicted Balls Mahoney would win his match (against Kevin Thorn, but still). I predicted Matt Striker’s challenge, and that he lost his match.

Match 3: Elijah Burke and Sylvester Turkey vs. The FBI (w/ Trinity)

My Predicted Winners: Burke & Turkey

The Actual Winners: Burke & Terkay

RJ45’s Perspective: Sweet! Not that I really give a damn either way, but sweet

Match 4: Tommy Dreamer vs. Daivari (w/ Great Khali)

My Prediction: No Contest

The Actual Winner: Daivari

RJ45’s Perspective: Meh…

Match 5: Mike Knox and Kelly Kelly vs. Kevin Thorne and Ariel

The Winners: Ariel & Thorne

RJ45’s Perspective: …and the feud continues!

Match 6. The Elimination Chamber

The World’s Most Dominate Athlete The Big Show vs. CM Punk vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Hardcore Holly vs. Test vs. Rob Van Dam

My Predicted Winner: Brock Lashley

The Actual Winner: Bobby Lashley

RJ45’s Perspective:  Okay, so they do an injury angle on Sabu and replaced him with Sparky Plugg, which pissed the crowd off. Then, CM Punk, the only over guy left that was actually getting the crowd excited about the damn event, is the first to be eliminated  Then, Big Show finally drops the title to Brock Lesnar II. I think at this point, they should probably have CM Punk take the ECW Championship at Wrestlemania. It looks like Heyman has left the WWE again and Big Show is taking time off for injury. RVD & Sabu appear to be on their way out of ECW. So now its truly like “What the fuck?!”

While I will admit I am just lining up my predictions to see how I did, I don’t even have to watch this Pay-Per View to tell you its bad.
