The road to Wrestlemania XXVI is much more clear

Well, tonight's EC event wasn't that great, but of course I knew it wasn't going in. I was actually shocked when Cena won the EC match. I thought Triple H and Sheamus were going to fight for it at Mania, but of course, I was wrong. It shocked me even more when Batista came out and won the title from Cena. Well, at least we got Cena/Batista II (III if you count tonight).

There is a God! Jericho wins the World Title and we get Jericho/Edge for the main event of WM26. We also get HBK/Taker 2. Not of these matches are confirmed, but I can dream right. So WM XXVI looks like this:
Jericho VS Edge
HBK VS Taker
Cena VS Batista
CM Punk VS Mysterio (Mysterio eliminated Punk from the EC)
Triple H VS Sheamus - maybe a #1 contender thing
Hart VS McMahon or something also those lines
Orton VS Legacy. Or maybe Orton and a partner of his choice versus Legacy.
With MITB at Mania not likely due to it getting its own event, many mid carders aren't going to be on the card. Kingston, Christian, Bourne, and many others. I hope that they have two MITB a year because it really has become a tradition at WM. Well, at least we get to have Jericho/Edge at WM 26. That's all I really wanted.
UPDATE: Well, we got four matches set for Mania from Raw and three are huge main event matches. Jericho VS Edge is official! After wanting to see this two face off since July, they will finally go one-on-one in what may be the main event at WM 26. Also announced was Batista VS Cena for the WWE Title. Should be a good match and I like the storyline going into the match. The big match announced for the night was HBK VS Taker - the rematch from WM 25. This time though, there's much more on the line. It's HBK's career VS Taker's streak. Thinking about it, this match will have much more emotion and will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat, so I wouldn't fault WWE if this was the last match of the night. Either outcome, the fans aren't going to be too happy and can you blame them? If HBK loses, we lose one of the greatest superstars of all time. If Taker loses, the greatest streak of all time is over. The streak is what most people look forward to at each WM. If HBK ends it, he'll have that and the fact that he retired Ric Flair. I don't think HBK can handle all of that, but we'll see. Also, MITB WILL be at Mania. Christian is the first to qualify and 7 men will join him. Some people that HAVE to be in this match are Kofi, Morrison, and at least Bourne. If CM Punk or Mysterio aren't in it, I'll understand, as long as they face each other at the big event. With those three main events and MITB, WM is already looking good. Throw in Sheamus VS Triple H, CM Punk VS Mysterio, Mickie James VS Beth Phoenix VS Natalya, and Orton VS Legacy and we got the best WM card in years.

Gaming pretty hard right now

No More Heroes 2 is now old news. As I wait for an announcement for NMH3, I have to move on. I recently bough Deadly Premonition, a budget title published by Ignition Entertainment, who are also publishing Arc Rise Fantasia. Now, Deadly Premonition probably won't win a Game of the Year from anyone, but I think it's an interesting title. The voice acting in the game is fantastic for a budget title, but the graphics remind me of Silent Hill 2. It's not really a survival horror game, since you have infinite ammo for your handgun. Also, how does a melee weapon kill the enemies faster than a gun? So far, I'm still in the first chapter, but the game is pretty good so far. It's definitely not a 60 dollar game, but it's way better than some 60 dollar games that have come out. I've been hearing that this game is going to be 20 hours long, which is very unusual for a action game, but I can definitely see it being that long. There are a lot of side quests to be done, and I think that this will be the game that will hold me over until FF13 comes out (which I now have 55.55 on at GameStop.)

I also recently got Batman: Arkham Asylum in the mail from GameFly. Just like with Fallout 3, I finally get to play it 5 months later. I've only played it for 2 hours (which is surprising shorter than than how long I've been playing DP) and I love the game. It's definitely the best superhero game ever and it's one of the best looking games I've ever played. Hopefully, I'll beat it by the end of the weekend, then start taking down Brutal Legend, Ninja Blade, and Wet. FF13 will be hear by then.

WWE EC is this weekend. Come on Jericho! Give us the match we all want to see.

Who is going to win the Chamber matches?

This is a tough one. I hate this PPV, since it's so close to Wrestlemania. If WWE wanted to make someone new win the title, it would be a bad booking decision. With that said, for Raw's chamber, Sheamus, Orton, Triple H, or DiBiase will win. Sorry Kofi and Cena. Kofi is DEFINITELY going to be in MITB and Cena will have Batista to deal with. And I don't see Cena/Batista being for the WWE Title, mainly because they are both on different brands. The other 4 guys are going to be paired up for WM matches, so either of those guys winning makes sense. If DiBiase wins, they could pull an Evolution on him, setting up their match. It's more likely though that Sheamus retains, and then Triple H wins some kind of tournament and then Orton/DiBiase fight over who screwed who in the chamber. Sheamus is on a roll right now, beating Cena and Orton. And if he could win the EC and then main event with Triple H, it will fully push Sheamus. Of course, Triple H will have to crush him in their match. So, my final decision is Sheamus.

Smackdown's chamber is easy for me to pick, since it's the match we all want to see. I'm saying Jericho wins the title. I want him, you want him to win, everyone wants him to win. If he wins, we not only get Edge/Jericho and probably even Taker/HBK. The only way I see Jericho winning is HBK screwing Taker over. I would love to see the Straight Edge Savior win the title, but I think after Edge and Jericho are done with, we'll see Punk/Edge. So, I got Jericho for SD's chamber.

Even though WWE's PG, I'm still looking forward to what WWE has in store for the months to come. ECW is almost done for, which means Christian will finally move up to the big leagues. The question is: what brand will he go to? I really want him on Smackdown. Christian/Edge, Christian/Punk, Christian/Morrison, Christian/Taker, and Christian/Jericho (Wrestlemania XX FTFW) would all be pretty great. Ah, can't wait until the draft.

EDGE EDGE EDGE

Well, Edge came back at the Rumble, like the rumors said. I marked out when he came out, but I went crazy when he won. Looks like Edge and Jericho is set. All Jericho has to do is win Smackdown's EC. I think it will come down to Taker and Jericho, and somehow, HBK will get into the chamber and screw Taker out of the title, making HBK/Taker 2 at Mania. Orton will probably try to screw DiBiase in the Chamber, making Orton the heel in the situation. Sheamus and Triple H will be the last two and Sheamus will probably win with a roll-up, setting up for their match at Mania. Everything is coming together know. If all these matches happen, this will easily be my most anticipated Wrestlemania of all time.

So, the NMH2 hype is done for me. I beat the game twice on Mild and I'm starting a file on Bitter pretty soon. Fantastic game not without its problems (read my rant) but I loved it. I loved how Travis killed Cole Walsh, Margaret, and how Shinobu killed Million Gunman. My favorite fights were with Ryuji, Margaret, (Reaper, Reaper) Alice, and Jasper. Now, it's time to put all of my hype into Final Fantasy XIII and Resonance of Fate. (which I still don't believe are coming out on the same day) I'm going to be in RPG heaven if they come out the same day. Then after those games, Strange Journey on the 23rd. March is going to be jam packed with RPGs
