Shades of Wrestlemania – 7 Months in Advance

Monday, July 19th, 2010

Well it’s been a while since I have done this.  With Money in the Bank all over and Summerslam just around the corner.  It is as good of a time as any to make some guesses for the really big show that will be coming our way in March.  I have a feeling it will be a good one.  And it may just look like this…

2012 Doomsday, Nothing New

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Why are we so obsessed with the end of days? The apocalyptic movie 2012 was a major box office success. It seems that everywhere you look there is someone spouting off about how Global Warming, Nuclear War, Sunbursts, or who knows what else is going to doom us for all of eternity.

While flicking through the various stations yesterday, I cam across a show on the History Network called “The Nostradamus Effect”. Out of morbid curiosity I decided to stop there. Needless to say, I shouldn’t have done that.

Looking Forward to Wrestlemania XXVII

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Well here we are a few weeks after the Granddaddy of them all, with only a year left until the next one!  On April 3, 2011 the Biggest Wrestling Show of the Year originates from the one place that I never thought it would, Atlanta Georgia.

And I think that the card will looking something like this…

Looking to 2014

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

Pardon me for not making any more Olympic posts a few weeks ago.  After predicting that Canada would beat the US in the round-robin, I felt anything that I would say would jinx the luck of our boys.  And in the aftermath, I really didn’t feel like I had all that much to say.  It was amazing.  It really, really was.

When thinking about the Olympic Games, there are a few things that I need to say:

1)  Yes, I watched the game, even if it started at 4am here.  I wrote a post about the experience over at Lost Lao Wai.  I hope you’ll enjoy it.

2)  Yes, I organized a pool for the Olympics.  And yes, I won on the tie-breaker.  First time I’ve ever won a big pool!

3)  Yes, I think that the NHL players will be in Russia in 2014.  There’s no reason for them not to be.  It’s THE biggest way for the game to grow, and they need all the great publicity that they can get.

4)  Yes, I still think that Canada will win Gold.  The US team will be very good, and the Russian team will be motivated, but our team will still be the favourite.

Speaking of the 2014 team, allow me to make my first of several cracks at guessing the roster…

Quick Predictions for the Rest of the Olympics

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Alright, so I thought about doing this for the whole tournament, but my computer broke and I was in Malaysia, and yadd-yadda-yadda.  Anyway, I know few of you will believe me, but I thought that Slovakia would make some noise.  I certainly didn’t see them outlasting Russia in a shootout, but I thought that they would do better than projected.

Tonight for all of you in North America, or tomorrow for me, is the real start of the tournament.  The three marquee matches are underway, followed by the qualifying round, and then it gets really interesting.  Everyone is trying to make some predictions, so here are mine…

Shades of Wrestlemania – 5 Weeks in Advance

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Well after 5 previous attempts to predict the card for the showcase of the Immortals I’m going to lay  it on the line one final time. After Edge’s shocking return at the Royal Rumble the Wrestlemania card really is up in the air at the moment.  Some things seem to be taking shape, but as we witnessed last year, things can change around at the last minute.

So for the final attempt…

Shades of Wrestlemania – 2 months in Advance

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Well ’tis the season, as it continues to be.  And my nerdy-80s child fanboy heart is starting to run wild.  In two days it will be the Royal Rumble, and then two months from then it’ll be the Granddaddy of them all, Wrestlemania XXVI!  In keeping with my usual tradition, I’m going to try to predict the card for the big show.

There have a been a huge amount of speculation as to what the card will be, much earlier that usual this year.  A lot of talk about HBK-Taker, Cena-Taker, Hart-Vince, and a whole host of other big matches that could take place.  In two days the road map will start to be drawn, and I think it’ll go as follows…

Looking Back at My Crystal Ball

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Back in January I made some “surefire” predictions for 2009. some of which came true, some of which did not.

I’ve had a good tradition of predicting things before on this blog, back in 2007 I went 9-2-2 in my guesses, while last year I went 9-3-1.  Could I follow it up with 2009?  Let’s see..

It looks to me like things are going to shape up like this…
