The Night of Champions 2010 Thread

[Montana]

Well Here is the card...make your predictions:

Six Pack Challenge

Shaemus vs. Randy Orton vs. John Cena vs. Wade Barrett vs. Edge vs. Chris Jericho

World Title

Kane vs Undertaker

US TItle

Miz vs. Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson)

IC Title

Koffi Kingston vs. Dolph Ziggler

Women's Title

Michelle McCool vs. Melina

Challenge match

CM PUnk vs. Big Show

Rumored Matches

Hart Foundation vs. Rhodes/McIntyre

Christian vs. ALberto Del Rio



Good main events, however the under card is looking rather weak. The midcard fueds have actually been built up a bit, which is nice, however these titles should be defended every PPV. And so much for every match being a title match, and IDK why the tag champs don't have a match yet.

Here are my picks: Shaemus, Kane, Miz, Koffi, Melina, Show, Hart Foundation and Alberto.

 

[imported_Adam]

Since when is Christian vs. Alberto Del Rio rumored? Oh well, those rumors will soon die. As for the tag match, not sure, it could be a different team, PLEASE ANYONE BUT THE USOS.

Predictions:

Kane
Daniel Bryan
Randy Orton or Sheamus retains
Dolph Ziggler
Melina
Big Show

can't believe it's 2010 and this photo is real and the guy is going to the NY daily news to advertise.

For a long time, he was the WWE's man without a face. Now, not only is WWE superstar Kane free of his trademark mask, he's also the World Heavyweight Champion and the face of the company.

And, needless to say, he's absolutely loving it.

"It's awesome, it really is," Kane tells the News of his championship run, now in its second month and a far sight longer than his first reign as champ, for one day in 1998.

And with great power, as always, comes great responsibility. "To a major extent you become one of the guys on the front lines promoting WWE," Kane says of the duties expected of him as champion.

More than responsibility, though, it's validation. "That the company would put that kind of trust in me, it's rewarding," he says.

Kane, born Glenn Jacobs, has certainly toiled in the trenches long enough to earn the company's trust. Introduced in 1997 as the vengeful brother of The Undertaker, the "Big Red Machine" is just now getting a true crack at a championship run, and he's scheduled to headline this Sunday's Night of Champions special in a title bout against The Undertaker.

"Every Pay-Per-View is important," Kane says when asked about his views on the Night of Champions – it gets its name because every match is a championship bout – in relation to other specials like WrestleMania and SummerSlam. But diplomacy aside, Kane knows the score: as the incumbent title-holder, the Night of Champions is especially important for him and an exceptional performance in the ring will be required.

Which is no different from the way he usually approaches things.

"For me, it's about giving the best possible performance I possibly can," he says of what the WWE means to him as a business. He has the utmost respect for his fans – "Kanenites," they're called – and their satisfaction is priority number one. "Fans pay their hard-earned money to come into our world and be entertained, to escape, forget their problems," he says. "That's important."

"Important" is a solid way of summing up Jacobs' views on his work. He's as passionate a guy as you're ever likely to meet, with an incredibly pragmatic view on the WWE that has served him well over the years.

"Entertainment in general is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately business, as it should be," he says. He's reinvented the Kane character several times over: as a hero, a villain (way more fun, he says), and, for a brief time, a romantic (Kane wooed then-future reality star Chyna in a late-'90s storyline).

"As a performer, (change) keeps you on your toes, in the game and interested," he says

 

[...god...]

KANEITES~!

Hope Kane gets a nice long run, although sadly I see him losing/retiring at HIAT. Would be nice to see him hold the belt until SS or longer though.

I mean hes come out on top in every promo on SD for the whole feud. Takers gonna win it at NOC, then retain and retire Kane at HIAC. But as for the other matches, Danielson for the US title, Zigggler for the IC, McCool for the Undisputed Womens title, Harts Tag title, CM Punk over Show, and the WWE title match could go any way. They could give Barrett and nexus a serious rub with the title, they could have Sheamus retain and feud with HHH sometime, Ortons on the hot streak of his career, the title would be fitting, Edge isnt happening, Cena would make me sick but is probably the most likley to win, and although I personally want Jericho to win and stay with the company, its not happening either. We could even see a Miz cash in...who knows.

 

[sharkboy 3:16]

Six Pack Challenge

Shaemus vs. Randy Orton vs. John Cena vs. Wade Barrett vs. Edge vs. Chris Jericho

Really looking forward to this match, interested to see how Barrett does in a match with the likes of these guys, no idea who's going to win either which makes me even more interested in it. I really hope Jericho wins, ive enjoyed what he's been doing on RAW lately but I'd be happy to see Sheamus retain too. Just as long as Cena, Edge or Barrett don't win ill be happy.

World Title

Kane vs Undertaker

Seen it plenty of times so I expect it to be no different if not worse then previous. May be one of the last times these two face off though so it could be good. Hopefully Kane retains and continues with his reign as champ.

US TItle

Miz vs. Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson)

This should be a great match, Miz has great heat and this will really help get Bryan over, not sure if Miz will retain or if theyll drop the belt to Bryan.

IC Title

Koffi Kingston vs. Dolph Ziggler

If Dolph loses the belt this early I will be really pissed, could be a good match.


Women's Title

Michelle McCool vs. Melina

Hate Michelle so I hope Melina wins and I think she will too.


Challenge match

CM PUnk vs. Big Show

Don't care for this match at all, want Punk to win but its doubtful.


Rumored Matches

Hart Foundation vs. Rhodes/McIntyre

Dunno if this has been announced but it could be a decent match, it should be on the card since its Night of Champions and Hart Foundation should retain.

Christian vs. ALberto Del Rio

I've been enjoying their stuff on Smackdown, not sure if they have a match or not, they shouldn't since its NOC but it would be good, good way for Alberto to establish himself even more.

Thinking of buying the PPV.

I heard Kane isn't thinking about Retirement now, and considers himself in the prime of his career.


Also i don't think Alberto Del Rio vs. Christian will be an official match, however i bet they are involved in the PPV somehow...perhaps backstage brawl or promo.

 

[soulpower]

Picks in bold:

CM Punk vs Big Show

The Hart Dynasty v ??? (Assuming we actually get a tag match)

Melina vs Michelle McCool..(I honestly do not care about this match.. at all.)

Kofi Kingston v Dolph Ziggler (Ziggler wins the best of 5481023 series)

The Miz v Daniel Bryan (Bryan gets his first taste of WWE gold, and Miz goes on to bigger things)

Kane v The Undertaker (Kane beats a 'weakened' version of his brother, and we get a rematch at HIAC)

Wade Barrett v Randy Orton v John Cena v Chris Jericho v Edge v Sheamus (Orton's has looked like a world beater this past couple of weeks, and he's also become the top guy on RAW. Its time to give him the strap. Though I'll admit, I wouldn't mind seeing Barrett get the title)

Does anyone think Miz might try and cash in his MITB contract tonight?? I could see him losing the US title, and being so bent out of shape about it, wasting his MITB, and getting beat. That would make for a interesting storyline. Miz could go into a No more mr. nice guy character.

 

[He who knows more than Nation]

Really solid opener. I still don't understand the Kofi hate, he held that match together really well and Dolph was pretty solid too. Good opener.

Miz wasn't already in a "No more Mr. Nice Guy" Character?

 

[He who knows more than Nation]

Two for two. And a Dragon match never sucks and Miz is no slouch, so solid start to this show.

 

[He who knows more than Nation]

What a great match between these guys. Best Dragon WWE match and Miz's best match ever. Now Miz needs to go on and cash it in and get his WWE title, this match showed how much of a solid worker he has become. Awesome match **** for sure. I don't think anything on the rest of the card except the 6 pack challenge can surpass this as match of the night.

 

[imported_Adam]

^Was Bryan vs. Miz really that amazing? I was at a baseball game today and didn't think i'd get home in time to watch it. So didn't order. It's too late now unfortunately. I'll probably order an encore later this week. Please tell me which matches are worth watching though, so I can look forward to something.
