It's time for the next pay-per-view presented by the WWE, who presents Bragging Rights. Let's go to the predictions.

WWE Championship No Holds Barred 60-Minute Iron Match
Randy Orton (c) vs. John Cena
Cena can wrestling an interesting match for an hour that isn't the problem. Orton on television for one consecutive hour...that's OMG a problem. Cena gets a last second fall to regain the title.

World Heavyweight Championship Fatal Four Way Match
The Undertaker (c) vs. CM Punk vs. Batista vs. Rey Mysterio
CM Punk gets the win by pinning one of the faces for this third title reign this year, though the second one shouldn't have ended.

14-Man Tag Team Match
Team Raw vs. Team SD
Um, RAW wins...because that's how Vince wants it to look.

The Miz vs. John Morrison
Morrison wins.

Six-Woman Tag Team Match
RAW Divas vs. SD Divas
Smackdown's Divas get the victory.

I wouldn't pay money to see this PPV...see you next month for more predictions.

Ultimate X Match
The Machineguns had most of the action early in the match and let the original participates wait for their spots later. A lot of spots, but probably the biggest and riskiest was with Daniels and Suicide on the metal X and then falling off the ropes with Daniels looking to get most of the brunt of the fall. Red wins after he followed Daniels & Suicide up on the top of the steel and climbing down to the title. 8/10

Knockouts Tag Team Title Match
Nothing really impressive with the match than what I thought it was going to be, maybe expecting a little too much. Sarita and Taylor retain after Taylor gets the pin on Velvet after Sarita have a wicked missile dropkick to Madison. 3/10

TNA Legends Title Match
The match was basically Hernandez fighting a double team between Young and Nash. The pace was slow because of Nash and during the match Young went for a pin ‘accidentally.’ However it was a great set up for the finish as Young called for the jackknife and as Nash was setting Hernandez up, Young sent Hernandez’s head into Nash’s crotch then pinned Nash to win the belt. 5/10

Full Metal Mayhem Match
Team 3D was taken out at the beginning of the match by the three other teams then all hell broke loose. Scott Steiner, if he is leaving, had some good spots in one of his final matches including a Frankensteiner off the top rope. Team 3D regained their legs and delivered some punishment. Team 3D grabbed the IWGP Titles but were then taken out of the match. Then the Brits and Beer Money then fought to grab the TNA Title with the Brits taking out Beer Money thanks to Big Rob. 7/10

Knockouts Title Match
This match seemed a little confusing. It started off with some action until Tara was taken to the outside where something either happen with a fan or something. Taz and Tenay along with Kong and ODB were either speechless or stopped wrestling, so it doesn’t seem like it was planned because Tara went to the back soon after. Kong and ODB then tried to get back into the match until Tara finally returned only for her to be sent to the outside again. Rasha came to ringside as Kong looking to finish off ODB and slid in a steel chair only for Kong to kick it back several times. It looked like Raisha got the idea as Kong went for her finisher again then she slid in the chair again just as ODB counter and sent Kong’s head into the chair. ODB got the win and Kong looked pissed. 3/10

Submission Match
Apparently it’s a 15-minute time limit, interesting. The crowd was really behind Joe and mixed, at best, for Lashley. The action was back and forth though whenever Joe was in control or hit a big move the crowd popped loud, not so for Lashley. The match ends weird as Lashley puts Joe into a submission and the referee suddenly called for the bell apparently because after just a few seconds into the hold Joe lost consciousness. 6/10


Monster’s Ball
The match had to compensate for Mick’s slower pace, but there was some nice spots thought Daffney had got chokeslammed through barbed wire from the ring edge to the floor. Stevie got taken out and a new referee came in and counted an obvious three count for Foley but the match continued because Abyss kicked out a second after the third slap to the match. Abyss sent Stevie through the tacks, slammed Foley through barbed wire, and then dragged Stevie’s limp body to slap down his hand three times to get the official win. 5/10 (if not for that botched counted it would have been 6)

Angle vs. Morgan
A good match between both men, even though it appeared Morgan didn’t seem to be 100%. A lot of great spots and move leading to a lot of near falls for both men. Morgan was able to effectively get out of the Ankle Lock and Kurt’s stamina frustrated Morgan after big moves. Kurt gets the pin with a counter/small package. Kurt then offers his hand to Morgan and Morgan accepts. 8/10

TNA World Title Match
Another good match with a lot of wrestling and a good story as both men showed their opponent respect. Your basic face vs. face match, but Styles got to show his stuff and Sting had some great moves and helped keep a good pace going. AJ hit a Pele kick from the ring apron then finished Sting with a springboard splash for the pin. After the match both men showed each other respect and Sting left for the back before AJ called him back to have the spotlight. Sting then said he didn’t know if he was finished as the PPV ended. 7/10

Overall: 6/10

It's time for TNA's biggest pay-per-view of the year, Bound for Glory, live from Irvine, CA and it's time for my predictions for the show.

TNA World Heavyweight Championship Match
A.J. Styles (c) vs. Sting
For the past two months TNA has undergone a 'youth movement' and for the past three years, Sting has fought for the World Title in the Main Event and emerged the champion. Well does TNA revert to form as Sting walks out as champ or does the 'movement' continue? AJ retains.

Kurt Angel vs. Matt Morgan
This also falls into the 'youth movement' arguement above, however Angle has been TNA's biggest acquistion and star since he came to the promotion in 2006. Also there is the factor that with AJ retaining, he'll need a strong heel challenger. However, last Thursday's Super Impact has given TNA the way to set up AJ vs. Angle for November, so I'm giving the win to Morgan in a hard fought match.

Submission Match
Bobby Lashley vs. Samoa Joe
This one is hard to predict as TNA has been both high and reportedly sour on Lashley, also a strong heel needed for AJ if Angle doesn't get the title shot next month. I'm going with Joe getting the win, but Lashley won't be hurt.

Monster's Ball Match
Mick Foley vs. Abyss
The build up the last few weeks has given this match a much needed pick me up, but I'm so-so about the quality. I'm going with Abyss getting the win.

Ultimate X Match
TNA X Division Championship
The Amazing Red (c) vs. Suicide vs. D'Angelo Dinero vs. Christopher Daniels vs. Homicide
This went from a #1 Contender's Match to a title match when Red joined the match on his own. Usually that means the champion will lose, however given how he won the title and how is first title match went I see TNA giving Red the win to 'legitimate' his title reign.

Full Metal Mayhem Match
TNA World Tag Team & IWPG World Tag Team Championships Match
Scott Steiner & Booker T (TNA) vs. The British Invasion (IWPG) vs. Team 3D vs. Beer Money Inc.
Both Steiner & Booker are headed out so we're getting new TNA champs and New Japan hasn't been happy with TNA's use of their belts which means the IPWG will be changing hands as well. So will there be one team getting both titles or two different teams? I'll say Team 3D & Beer Money work together and both claim one of the titles...BMI are your new TNA champs, Team 3D reclaim the IWPG belts.

TNA Legends Championship Triple Threat Match
Kevin Nash (c) vs. Hernandez vs. Eric Young
I'm going out on a limb and say that EY gets the belt by screwing Nash from behind.

TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship Match
Tayler Wilde & Sarita (c) vs. The Beautiful People
I'm giving it to Velvet and Madison like it believe was the original plan before Angelina's trouble.

TNA Knockout Championship Match
ODB (c) vs. Tara vs. Awesome Kong
ODB's title reign has been a disservice to her and it's probably over. I'm going to say that Kong wins as the feud between her and Tara continues.

Okay everyone that's it for predictions. I'm going to be watching this show and I'll be giving my impressions afterwards.

It's time for another pay-per-view prediction post this time for the WWE's newly created Hell in the Cell live from Newark, New Jersey.

WWE Championship Hell in a Cell Match
John Cena (c) vs. Randy Orton
Cena just won the belt and its time this feud ended, Cena wins.

World Heavyweight Championship Hell in a Cell Match
CM Punk (c) vs. The Undertaker
This is probably the match that makes Punk a bonafide Main Eventer as he gets the win.

Hell in the Cell Tag Team Match
DX (Triple H & Shawn Michaels) vs. Legacy (Ted DiBiase Jr & Cody Rhodes)
DX ends the feud with a win.

WWE Intercontinental Championship Match
John Morrison (c) vs. Dolph Zigler
This is the hardest to predict on the card, but I say Zigler wins the belt.

US Championship Triple Threat Match
Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Jack Swagger vs. The Miz
Kofi isn't retaining, so who gets the title and over whom. I say Swagger pins The Miz after Kofi does the work.

Unified Tag Team Championship Match
Chris Jericho & The Big Show (c) vs. Batista & Rey Mysterio
The 2nd hardest to predict, but I'm going for Jericho & Show to retain.

WWE Divas Championship Match
Mickie James (c) vs. Alicia
Mickie retains.

R-Truth vs. Drew McIntyre
McIntyre uses nefarious means to get the win.

That's it for WWE's Hell in a Cell, check out the post for TNA's annual Bound for Glory PPV.
