SummerSlam predictions

SummerSlam is tomorrow night ladies and gentlemen! Are you ready? Before I get into my predictions for the biggest party of the summer, I'm going to do a couple reviews of various things I've watched today. Oh yeah, SPOILERS!!!!!!!



Well, I went out to the movies today and saw two pretty darn good films. The first one I saw was Final Destination 5, which is the 5th entry in the Final Destination franchise. Was it better than the crappy 4th one? You better believe it. I love the entire FD series, with 2 being my favorite. I even love 4 for the pool death even though the movie as a whole sucked. What did Final Destination 5 do different than 4? Nothing really. It's still the same storyline. Person goes out, has premonition about crazy accident, saves people from accident, Death kills them off one by one, group cheats Death, and Death wins in the ends. It's not the storyline that makes the movie good, it's how it's handled. This film was much more serious than 4 and had some of the best deaths in the franchise's history. SPOILER ALERT: When Candice flipped off the bar and broke her spine, I cringed in my seat. It was AMAZING to see. I also liked the premonition death of Sam and of course the wrench going through Dennis' head. While the movie was good and the deaths were gruesome, it falls short compared to the ending. What a twist it was to see Sam and Molly get on the plane, only to see the Alex from the 1st Final Destination is getting off and to find out that the movie takes place BEFORE all the movies in the franchise. Fantastic ending. I think I may of found a new favorite. I can't wait to see what they do with 6 and 7.



The 2nd film I watched was 30 Minutes or Less. 30MOL was hilarious! Jesse Eisenberg and Aziz Ansari are a great comedy duo. Most of the laughs came from those two. I don't want to take anything away from Danny McBride and Nick Swardson because they were funny too, but I just thought the Jesse/Aziz partnership was funnier. My favorite part is when they are actually robbing the bank and Aziz's character proclaimed that he wasn't friends with the bank teller anymore because she wasn't honest with him. The way he delivers his lines always makes me laugh. I also liked the part right afterward when the cop has them trapped and then Eisenberg's character shows he has a bomb and the cop, a black man, screams and runs for the hills. It was freaking hilarious. I wasn't a big fan of the abrupt ending but the movie was a great mix of comedy and action and actually exceeded my expectations. Great movie thanks to the great cast. Very funny but just a very rushed ending.



iLost My Mind FINALLY aired tonight and it was amazing! There is SO MUCH more innuendo in these episodes and I LOVE it. It's like while the show is MADE for younger people, they put stuff in the show for other people to enjoy. Like when Gibby came out at the end of the show and Freddie told him they weren't ready yet, what did he say? He started to unloosen his belt and said, I'm going back to the men's room. What the heck is he going to do in said men's room? Makes you wonder. Anyway, so Freddie is interested in Sam. We got that out of the way. Now, does it last? Guess we'll have to wait until September to find out. Why is Carly so mad at Sam and Freddie? Gotta wait until iDate Sam and Freddie. Great episode and while it was a LONG and HARD wait, it was definitely worth it. Until September...



And now, SummerSlam predictions!



Opening match? I'll go with Daniel Bryan and Wade Barrett. Here's a match with some HUGE potential if they just give it enough time. I like both guys and I want both to win, but I gotta go with Mr. Money in the Bank on this one. He's got a lot of momentum coming out of the MITB PPV, so he basically needs this victory. Heck, he might be the World Champion by the end of the night. :)



Kelly Kelly VS Beth. I'm cheering for Beth because she's the heel and because I like Heel Beth Phoenix. Phoenix with the victory.



Sheamus and Mark Henry are going to destroy each other. Sheamus needs this victory to help his recent face turn, Henry needs the victory to prove he's a dominant force on Smackdown. Who gets the victory? I'm going with my boy Sheamus to get the job done. I don't think it's going to be a show stealer, but hopefully something good.



Orton/Christian V. I've expressed my dislike with the feud time and time again. I think this is going to be a really good match though. Orton/Christian really need to go all out and make this a fantastic feud ender. How does it end? I'm not really sure. I think Christian beats Orton, but I think Daniel Bryan will come down and cash in. It's the obvious time to do it so that's probably why it won't happen right? Well, I'm going with Christian to defeat Randy Orton at SummerSlam. Somehow, some way.



And the match this PPV was made for. John Cena VS CM Punk for the Undisputed WWE Title. First and foremost, can we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get a new WWE Championship belt? Once again, thanks Triple H. Anyway, this match SHOULD get the most time because it's the match this whole dang event is centered around. Will it be as good as the MITB match? Probably not, but it should still be a great match. How does the biggest match in recent WWE history go down though? With Triple H as the ref, there are many possible endings. One sees Punk beating Cena, only to have Triple H screw him over and have Del Rio win the WWE Championship. Another sees Triple H screwing Cena and starting a Punk/HHH partnership. Or the one EVERYONE wants to really see. Triple H and Cena screw over CM Punk and we finally get a heel Cena! Which scenario do I see happening? I see them all really happening, but I want to see Heel Cena the most. I'm going to pick Punk winning and then Triple H screwing him for safety, but let it be known that I predicted heel Cena if it does happen.



Well, that was my mega post for the week. Hope I covered all my bases. Oh wait! El Shaddai is comes out Tuesday! There we go. Come on back late Sunday night for my SummerSlam reaction post! Oh, and I realized that iCarly and WWE right now are really alike. Just like this whole Sam/Freddie storyline, the Punk/Cena storyline is eventually going to end and then things will go back to normal. Sure, both are getting critical acclaim but that's all they're focusing on. They're putting all the hard work into fleshing out these storylines. Anyway, iOMG is to MITB as iLost My Mind is to SummerSlam. What do I mean by that? Even I don't know, but it makes sense. After Survivor Series and after iLove You, things will go back to normal for both. Just a thought before I head to sleep.
