For the hell of it, make a few predictions for what's in store for 2011

John Morrison Christian and Del Rio will be world champions.

Anonymous GM will never be revealed (they'll just "fire" him later in the year and never talk about it again)

McIntyre Ziggler and Miz will turn face. Christian Truth and Jackson will turn heel.

Lesnar is involved at Wresltemania in some form, either as ref, special guest, or wrestler

Jericho returns around May-June as a face to his Y2J character, growing back the hair and wearing long pants

Mysterio gets injured again meaning retirement, and he will pass on his mask to someone else, either Epico or Hunico from FCW.

Jeff Hardy goes to jail

Sting will come to WWE to accept invitation to HOF, and might work 1-2 matches.

Batista signs with TNA.

Riley wins July MITB, miz asks for the briefcase but Riley refuses igniting their feud and breakup. Riley loses when he cashes in later in the year, but he'll get in a program with the champion

Hayes gets fired, and a big name will take over as Smackdown writer

Big names to move in the draft, Orton Bryan Morrison Barrett to Smackdown Taker Christian Ziggler Bateman to Raw. Jericho goes to smackdown also.

Saxton wins NXT and becomes the Miz of 2011, the top of the midcard. Eventually gets Andrews as his body guard, after Kidd is future endeavors

Yea, that's all i got so far.

- Cena will return from his injury *-)
- Barrett will win either the WWE or World title
- A big name (Taker, Kane, Rey) will either retire or be on the brink of retirement.
- Some midcard talent who is in need of a push will be released, we have seen loads happen in 2010.
- 2011 will truely be the year where the next generation of talent will take over, Kane & Edge still casting a shadow over SD will be changed, and like Raw, new and fresh ME talent will emerge.
- Undertaker will get injured and be out for about 4 months after he returns (seriously, look since 2007, been injured/needed time off an obscene amount of times)
- Rock or Austin will make a one time TV appearance.
- Ziggler will get a main event push.

Such bold predictions. :eek:

Will think of some and edit this post later.

Barrett and Del Rio become world champions. Morrison could too, but I'm not sold on his push going that far yet, so I'll say Morrison doesn't win one.

Sheamus will get another title reign *sigh* and will retire Triple H at WM.

Alex Riley will be fired.

CM Punk will get a WWE title program during the year (whether he wins is another story but I think this is safe)

If Edge and Christian fued, Edge will squash Christian like always, but the Christian marks with no sense will still think he's going to get the world title push that never comes.

Cena will force himself to be back by WrestleMania.

Here's some thoughts:

***

Wade Barrett will lose to Undertaker at WrestleMania, but he'll win the World Title and become SmackDown's most dominant figure.

Miz will drop the WWE Title before WrestleMania. And he won't get it back in 2011.

Before the end of the year, the brand split will have become basically non-existent, to the point all top stars are appearing on all shows weekly.

CM Punk will retire.

All the guys that should retire - Undertaker, Triple H, Rey Mysterio, Kane, Edge - will not.

Shawn Michaels will return to television in some capacity.

Vince McMahon will be revealed as the Anonymous GM. He will then make Michael Cole the GM.

After that happens, J.R. will return to broadcasting.

WWE will try to get David Otunga over as a singles star. It won't work.

WWE won't try to get Zack Ryder over as a singles star. But it would work.

Christian still won't win the big one.

But he'll still be better than everyone else on the roster.

Chris Jericho will come back in the summer...as a heel.

Mick Foley will wrestle a match on WWE television.

John Cena, having now exhausted the color spectrum, will debut a pink t-shirt.

The crowd will stop caring about Randy Orton.

The crowd will continue not to care about Drew McIntyre.

And...

John Morrison will cut a good promo. And by "a good promo," I mean one.

***

There. Let's see how those turn out.

I agree with all of these (many of which I laughed about lol) except the 2 I have in bold.

1) CM Punk isn't retiring... I don't really know where that came from.

and...

2) I still am going to hold out on Christian...I know his time for a World Title are as good as gone, but I still think with Edge as World Champion and the over lapping between the two that we've seen over the last year or so, will result in Edge finally putting him over for the belt. I still believe dammit! :(

Everything worth mentioning has already come up in some form. Curt Hawkins should get somewhere, but I predict an unfortunate release.

As a completely unrelated sidenote: Pyro, you still keep misspelling 'feud'. I remember bringing it up ages ago, and you insisted it being a typo. Dammit man. This is quite the serious matter and needs to be addressed.

1.Ezekial Jackson wins a midcard title.
2.Barrett and Del Rio win their first world titles.

5.AJ Lee wins the Divas Title.
6.Big Show and Ted Dibiase will continue to be boring and directionless.

I literally laughed out loud for the 2 bolded points for different reasons. I'm a HUGE
Christian mark, but c'mon lol. For some reason that Ginger snap name for his finisher
is funny as hell.

While we are on the subject of Heath Slater's finisher, why did he change it again
to paydirt. First it looked like Ziggler's Zig Zag, then a jumping sleeper slam, and now
paydirt. FFS Slater

Daniel Bryan wins a MITB and challenges CM Punk to a 30 or 60 minute Ironman submission match and immediately two thirds of the IWC has to go and change their pants.

Awesome Kong jobs to Hornswoggle and is made to tap out in a dragon sleeper.

Laycool splits up and somehow they both stay heels and no one notices.

Chris Jericho's return is advertised a week in advance so that everyone knows to wear their boner underwear.

Brett Dibiase is brought up and teamed with his brother and is immediately more over but they book them both to lose for four to six months straight.

A Les Miz sign is seen on Raw and no one has any clue what the reference is to.

Lastly, John Cena will be made the tag champs at least half of the year by himself even if he is injured just because they can bury twice as many people as before.

6 month long CM Punk WWE title reign, dominating RAW. Probably no chance but I'd like to see it.

Young stars push continues with Ziggler, Del Rio, Morrison, Miz, Barrett, and Sheamus in the Main Event scene with Orton, Cena, and Edge.

Heels buried for no reason.

Nexus fades away.

Jerry Lawler retires.

Undertaker, Kane, Rey Mysterio, and Triple H retire.
