It’s amazing how technology can bite you directly in the ass when you need it the most. I say that because I usually write my blog on my laptop but it decided to give me the middle finger today. Anyway, long story short, it’s time for No Way Out and it’s stacked to the brim with solid matches. Here are my picks & previews for this weekend!

World Heavyweight Championship
Edge © vs. Rey Mysterio
I’ve enjoyed this feud except for the stuff involving Vickie. These two always work well with anybody and rarely have a bad match. Vince has reiterated that he won’t put the belt back on Mysterio. You’ll put it on Khali but not Mysterio? Hmm. I fully look for Edge to win and go on to Wrestlemania. He’s the top heel in the WWE right now. He and Orton have come a long way since jobbing to DX. I’m an Edge fan no doubt. He has excellent work inside the ring and on the mic as well. Edge wins this one and moves on to Wrestlemania.
My Projected Winner: Edge

WWE Championship
Randy Orton © vs. John Cena
Well, the time is upon us that John Super Cena reclaim his title and go on to run over everybody. Him being champion makes my job very difficult to be positive. I was looking forward to having time off from Cena until after Wrestlemania but if they didn’t bring him back sooner than expected. Ever since then, I dread watching RAW somewhat because I know he’ll be shoved down my throat. Instead of playing up the fact that he tore his pec, they have him walking around like he truly is Superman. Enough of this. Come on, Orton!
My Projected Winner: Randy Orton

ECW Championship
Chavo Guerrero © vs. CM Punk
This has been a decent feud since it started. I think these two work well in the ring together. The only thing is Chavo should have had this earlier in his career. I feel now that any success he & Rey get is because of the passing of Eddie Guerrero. I hate to say that but that’s the way some people look at it. I think Chavo will win this one by a roll up with tights or something. I wish they would go on to Wrestlemania for the belt in a Ladder or Extreme Rules match. They need to give the belt back to Punk so he can feud with Shelton. I swear. I could watch a Benjamin-Punk feud until next year’s Wrestlemania probably.
My Projected Winner: Chavo Guerrero

RAW Elimination Chamber
#1 Contender’s Match: WWE Championship
Umaga vs. Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels vs. JBL vs. Chris Jericho vs. Jeff Hardy
This is the first of the blockbuster Elimination Chamber matches. The one thing that bothers me is Triple H throwing his power around backstage. Apparently, he’s using this to get back into the main event at Wrestlemania. Talk about an ego maniac. He hasn’t been there the past 2 weeks except for a promo this past Monday night on RAW. I find a hard time believing it if he comes out as a legitimate contender. I know why he’s been absent the past 2 weeks but that’s no excuse to bury somebody as hot as Jeff Hardy. Let’s face it. Hardy is on a roll and Shelton Benjamin would say in a way, “there ain’t no stoppin’ him now!” Hardy deserves to win. This guy puts it all on the line every time he goes out. Why not have him win? Oomanga won’t win. Shawn Michaels was in the main event last year and they very rarely do the same main event, 2 years in a row. Chris Jericho is busy beating up JBL, who’s gotten into better shape but should have stayed as an announcer. So that leaves Jeff Hardy and Triple H. Jeff will have to drop the IC belt before he starts on a feud with whoever if he were to win. Triple H is a political beast and if he wins this, I’ll probably hate him forever, just like I was planning to hate Batista if they let him beat The Undertaker. So, I’m hoping for a bloody mess because I was at the last Elimination Chamber match. It flat out sucked. Gimme Jeff Hardy with some crazy ass move to win this one.
My Projected Winner: Jeff Hardy

Smackdown Elimination Chamber
#1 Contender’s Match: World Heavyweight Championship
Batista vs. The Undertaker vs. Finlay vs. MVP vs. Big Daddy V vs. The Great Khali
I won’t take as long on this preview. Let’s eliminate the contenders. Big Daddy V won’t win because he has more rolls than a bakery. The Great Khali won’t win because if he does happen to win and get the belt, I won’t watch Smackdown ever again. MVP is a darkhorse candidate but it’s rare we have 2 heels going at it. Batista has been in the title picture for over a year now but hasn’t been in there the past few months. It’s definitely not the time to put him back in. The logical choice is The Deadman, the Prince of Darkness, The Undertaker! I hope he wins, gets the belt, and carries it until whenever.
My Projected Winner: The Undertaker

Career Threatening Match
Ric Flair vs. Mr. Kennedy
This one is a no brainer. I’m glad to see Kennedy back in the swing of things with a big name feud. Hopefully this will lead to him getting the biggest rub of his career and project him as a main eventer. It’s tough when you’ve got all of those stars on RAW. Give me The Dirtiest Player in the Game, The Nature Boy, RIC FLAIR!!!
My Projected Winner: Ric Flair
