WWE 'Cyber Sunday 2007' Pub Discussion results

Send News and Event Results


Here's how it went down between Euan, Scott, Danger and myself. I gave out 2 points for each match, if you guessed the winner properly that was one and if you got the stip match that was another. Also I ignored the MVP/Hardy predictions due to the massive changes made.

1. Euan: 9-1
   
2. Casey and Scott: 7-3
   
3. Danger: 5-5

I'll have the monthly stats report posted shortly. In the meantime, reflect back on our picks here

WWE 'Cyber Sunday 2007' Preview and Predictions

Send News and Event Results


Welcome to the combat Hooligans preview and predictions for WWE’s ‘Cyber Sunday’ 2007. The show where things are left in the hands of the fans, the people have the power to vote for one good stipulation or 1 of 2 not so good stipulations for each match.

Rey Mysterio Vs. Finlay
Stip Choices: Stretcher Match, Shilelagh on a pole or No DQ.
I’d say given the ending to the No Mercy bout, the fact No Dq matches are real common and the fact that Vince Russo doesn’t have time to vote 100,000 times a day for the pole match means we’re getting the stretcher match.
As for the winner, really they could get sympathy for another gimmick match down the road by having Finlay obliterate Rey but somehow I don’t think that’s in the cards.
Winner: Rey Mysterio

U.S. Championship Match: Matt Hardy Vs. MVP
Stip Choices: Boxing Match, Wrestling Match or MMA match
I don’t care what happens on this show as long as MMA match is victorious. I can’t wait for Michael Cole to explain that MVP is using pound and ground. Matt Hardy is going in to this match injured so why not work with it? I say have MVP beat him to a bloody mess.
Winner: MVP

Umaga Vs. Triple H
Stip Choices: First Blood, Street Fight, or Steel cage match
This match is a showcase of 2 truths. The first is that when given as a choice, Steel Cage will always rule. Second, when given a match Hunter will pretty much always win.
Winner: HHH

ECW Championship Match: CM Punk Vs.
Choices: John Morrison, The Miz, Big Daddy V
I fear if Morrison is the pick he’s going over. I fear if V is the pick the match will suck and I fear if Miz is the pick Euan’s swearing will break the internet. I predict that Big Daddy V gets the vote because the people are kind of tired of Punk Vs. Morrison.
However, I don’t see Big Daddy V winning the title here so that’s good news for the CM Punk fans.
Winner: CM Punk

World Heavyweight Championship: Undertaker Vs. Batista
Referee Choices: Steve Austin, Mick Foley or JBL
Gee, I wonder which of those 3 men will be the most popular with voters? The real question is what does it matter who the special ref is, it isn’t like either Austin or Foley have current issues with either guy and it isn’t like anybody cares about what JBL has to say.
As for who wins, I just don’t think that the belt is going back to Undertaker just yet. I think something screwy goes down, possibly interference from Edge and that Taker is cost the belt. Oh, and somebody gets a stunner.
Winner: Batista

WWE Championship Match: Randy Orton Vs.
Choices: Ken Kennedy, Jeff Hardy or Shawn Michaels
I think that Kennedy has absolute 0 hope of winning. I believe also that Jeff Hardy has a better chance of winning than some people realize. In the end though, as much as I’d like to see Hardy win if for no other reason than it would at least be different and we could possibly see Michaels against Kennedy and watch to see if Michaels has a meltdown, ultimately I think HBK gets the vote.
In the match though, I see Orton doing some heelish things and retaining the title.
Winner: randyOrton

Bonus prediction: Jeff Hardy will wrestle and defeat Ken Kennedy on this show.

There you have it, the Cyber Sunday rundown. I’m not watching this but Euan will be around for all of your swearing and cursing and offensive needs.

WWE adds another match to Cyber Sunday and it is a WrestleMania rematch

Send News


Yes, WWE has added a rematch of this past WrestleMania to Cyber Sunday and no it is not MVP Vs. Chris Benoit.

The match is for the world heavyweight championship and is between Batista and the Undertaker. The fans get to pick the special referee, big fat hairy deal. The ref choices are: Steve Austin, JBL and Mick Foley.

Cyber Sunday is shaping up like this...

1. WWE Championship Match: Randy Orton Vs. Shawn Michaels, Jeff Hardy or Mr. Kennedy - Fans choice
   
2. World Heavyweight Championship Match: Batista Vs. Undertaker - Special Ref/fans choice, Steve Austin Mick Foley or JBL
   
3. ECW Championship Match: CM Punk Vs. John Morrison, Big Daddy V or The Miz - Fans Choice

My choice is for WWE to stop giving us this stupid concept for a PPV every year.

Another match added to 'Cyber Sunday'

Send News


The WWE website has announced the ECW Championship bout for Cyber Sunday.

CM Punk will defend the ECW title against the fans choice from among:
Big Daddy V, The Miz and John Morrison

Well, the choice is a bit less clear-cut for this than for the Raw main event. I guess we'll find out between Morrison and V which one WWE prefers next week.

2. Jeff Hardy

Gee, I wonder who will be the choice?

The original advertised plan was for Orton to wrestle John Cena in a fans pick the stip match but injuries happen.

Site News: The Most anticipated card of October...

Send News


It was a close one, but in a narrow victory, WWE 'No Mercy' defeats UFC 77 'Hostile Territory'. I wonder if No Mercy would've won had John Cena not been injured and had the first new WWE champion in a year been less than the guarantee it is now. Perhaps, it also was victorious because of the Save_US_222 deal and the potential for Jericho to return. Plus, UFC 77 isn't the sexiest card. Bound for Glory is screwed, and Cyber Sunday also got no votes but in fairness to that show, it isn't like there is a card already. ShoXC got one vote and it wasn't mine though I am going to cover it.

The results...

1. WWE 'No Mercy': 6 (50%)
   
2. TNA Wrestling's 'Bound for Glory': 0 (0%)
   
3. UFC 77 'Hostile Territory': 5 (41%)
   
4. ShoXC: Elite Challenger Series: 1 (8%)
   
5. WWE 'Cyber Sunday': 0 (0%)

The next poll question is halloween themed but will only run for a few days.

The question, should Wade dress up as Razor Ramon HG for Halloween?
