Mr Main Event's Predictions for WWE Night of Champions

Fatal 4-Way U.S. Championship Match 
Dolph Ziggler (C) vs Alex Riley vs Jack Swagger vs John Morrison
In this matchup, Ziggler has his back against the wall. Going against three other phenomenal athletes. This match actually has a chance to steal the show, well it may not be that good, but you get the point. I have often said that Ziggler is the future and in this match he will prove it but escaping with a close victory.

World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton (C) vs. Mark Henry
This should be a great match and the climax to Mark Henry's Hall of Pain. Orton may have been hot all summer, but so has Henry and what better way for him to end the summer than winning the World Heavyweight Championship. In my opinion, Mark Henry does the unthinkable after 15 years out of the limelight and becomes the new World Heavyweight Champion.

WWE Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne (c) vs. The Miz & R-Truth
Ladies and Gentleman, for the first time since 2009, I am actually looking forward to a Tag Team Title Match. I respect the team of "Air-Boom," and The Miz & R-Truth are my favorite wrestlers on Raw. A lot of people feel that they are being buried, and rightfully so, however, with these two being a team in the hunt for gold, I feel that they are still being kept relevant, and mentioning Triple H's name also keeps them relevant. However, I believe Air Boom will hold on the titles, and this will be an ongoing feud between the two teams.

Divas Champion Kelly Kelly (c) vs. Beth Phoenix
In order for the Divas of Doom to be effective, Beth Phoenix must win this one. Kelly Kelly has had the title long enough and in my opinion, her reign ends this Sunday.

WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. John Cena
Alberto Del Rio was exposed by the Hitman Bret Hart on the "go-home" episode of Raw. Bret told Del Rio what CM Punk and Cena told him a couple of weeks after he won the title, and that is now that he has the belt he must act like a champion. He needs to prove to everyone why we should care that he is the WWE Champion. If he can wrestle in a good match with John Cena, then maybe he will prove everyone right. In my opinion, Del Rio wins in a controversial matter.

CM Punk vs. Triple H (No Disqualification Match)
This match will be very personal. Many are saying this is too early, but one thing I have said and will continue to believe, CM Punk claimed he was burned out and under-appreciated. Because of this, he threatened not to resign his WWE contract. The WWE went through hoops just to resign him, and Punk claims that he has received some "perks." Because of that, I know that there has to be something bigger in the future for Punk. As far as this match, with Triple H's position in the company on the line, I think that some way Punk will get screwed which will set him up for a rematch.

*This is an opinion based on impact of the business on where it is today, wrestling skills, microphone skills and without that person how would pro wrestling be looked at today.
Example=Hulk Hogan wasnt the best wrestler, but he had the ability to entertain, cut a promo, and he was a household name and without him, wrestling would not be where it is today.

Managers in Wrestling!


I have always been a fan of managers in wrestling. From the likes of Bobby Heenan, Sensational Sherri, Mr Fuji, Jimmy Hart, and many more, these figures helped groom wrestlers into superstars. On Superstars, Michael P.S. Hayes was great with his promo reasoning why managers are needed. He stated that these young wrestlers need guidance. Without a manager, some of the wrestlers during the 80s and 90s may not have had their careers elevated to such heights. Some wrestlers include Yokozuna, Haku, and the One Man Gang. Managers, in my opinion, should always have a place in wrestling. Growing up, I hated Bobby Heenan and Colonel Parker, every time I turned around they were interfering with someones match, and just when I felt one of my favorite wrestlers would become champion, there it was a cheap shot. Today, you do not see that. Vickie Guerrero is perhaps the best in the business today. Then again, she is the only serious one right? With Hayes managing Tyson Kidd, I can really see his career elevating almost immediately. Remember when Paul Heyman introduced Brock Lesnar. You knew he was a big deal.

During the late 80s and early 90s, managers such as Sensational Sherri played just as much of a role as Bobby Heenan and James E. Cornette. As wrestling went more into Sports Entertainment, female managers became more of a distraction. Women such as Debra, Sable, and Trish Stratus purpose was to distract the opponent and allow their superstar to get the victory. There was less guidance to championships. However, they still had their place. Wrestling without managers is just as crazy as a wrestling company without a championship.

Bringing in managers back in the WWE will help superstars such as John Morrison and D.H. Smith who each had great tag team careers have great singles careers. Neither are really strong on the microphone, but perhaps with a great manager, they could rise to be a great Intercontinental or United States Champion. One man who I would love to see have a manager is Ted DiBiase Jr. I think if his dad becomes his manager, he could lead him to gold, even the one title he never officially held, the WWE Championship. Even someone like Chris Masters who has the build of champion is put with a manager who perhaps is a former champion could be elevated in a manner of months.
