My Payback 2017 Predictions

Apologies for this post coming out today. It was supposed to go out yesterday, which leaves the awkward situation of three posts going out on the same day. Oh well. Also, why does everyone hate the name Payback so much? It's a fine pay-per-view name in my opinion, but it's certainly no Great Balls of Fire.






Pre-Show- Gallows and Anderson vs Enzo and Big Cass

My Prediction: Good Brothers win

We've seen this match a million times on Raw, and we get it once more on the Kickoff show. With The Revival not in the picture for the time being, the heels need the win more.


Cruiserweight Championship Match- Neville vs Austin Aries

My Prediction: A Great Champion

If you're going to name a show Payback, someone on this card's going to have to get revenge, and I think this is a good spot. Not sure where TJ Perkins fits into this, but I see Aries walking out with the belt.
Raw Tag Team Championship Match- The Hardy Boyz vs Cesaro and Sheamus

My Prediction: Someone's getting Broken

Cesaro and Sheamus are my boys, pardon the pun, and I'd be ecstatic to see them as champions once more. Jeff and Matt don't really need the titles, and if WWE can get the rights to the Broken gimmick, then a feud between the two is the only way forward.
United States Championship Match- Kevin Owens vs Chris Jericho

My Prediction: USA! USA! USA!

It took a while, but Kevin Owens has finally won me over. I've really enjoyed his current run, and as an American citizen, I will do my civic duty in giving him this win.


Samoa Joe vs Seth Rollins

My Prediction: Joe's gonna kill you

It's amazing that bogus talk to stolen finishers have over-shadowed this match, but that's how exhausting wrestling fans are sometimes. Despite that, this should be a great match, and I see Joe getting the win.


House of Horrors Match- Randy Orton vs Bray Wyatt

My Prediction: What on Earth is a House of Horrors Match? 

I'm predicting Bray to win, by the way. But what is a House of Horrors match? Is it an Ambrose Asylum match with a different name? Why do we need a House of Horrors match? Why does no one answer any of my questions? I am very confuse.


 Raw Women's Championship Match- Bayley vs Alexa Bliss

My Prediction: Bay Area Bayley

I will admit to some bias here, being from the Bay Area and having previously lived in San Jose. However, there is some logic to this pick. If the Bayley-Sasha feud is to continue, Bayley needs to keep the championship. And does Alexa really need another title run? She could have plenty of interesting matches with the likes of Nia Jax and Mickie James without the belt.


 Braun Strowman vs Roman Reigns

My Prediction: The face gets the win

If Roman Reigns is in fact building towards a win over Brock Lesnar in the future, then he needs to take a loss here. A story is always more important than a win, and I honestly don't know what you do with Braun if he loses here. If this was a gimmick match, I could see Roman winning.




This is actually a pretty strong card. I feel like this event has the possibility to surprise a lot of people, and I'm hoping for it to succeed. Hopefully you all enjoy this weekend, and let's go Bayley.

South Park "Not Funny" Review

Good night, amateur trolls that trolled a troll and trolled themselves into a troll, brothers. With one episode to go in the season, South Park has remained consistently funny and on-point with their humor, though I worry about how their going to wrap all of this up. There are a good six to seven ongoing storylines right now, and only one episode to finish off a few of them. There was no clear focus this week, but I'll start where the episode ended, with Gerald's troll-based storyline. It's pretty satisfying to see the Troll Hunter's massive revelation; that he is, in fact, just another troll, bent on world destruction. Even Gerald couldn't find the humor in his master plan, as the Troll Hunter is truly in a league of his own. With the world on the brink of war, the trolling has truly begun, as the Troll Hunter went to work on his own employees and the other trolls, though why they had to be naked for that is beyond me. Kyle is always a sucker for saving the ...

Latest Update on new puppy

As you may well know from my mom's posts, there is a handsome puppy in the house. His name is Rascal, which appropriately fits him. Before Tuesday, he'd never had much problem with the crate, something I found interesting. He'd also never experienced anxiety issues when people came and left. Then yesterday, my dad and I were standing in the driveway organizing things for a trip to Goodwill. All of a sudden, Rascal freaked out. Some history behind the newest member of our family. Rascal was a stray in Hollister, when CARE, a rescue organization, found him. At this time Rascal was estimated to be about 2 months old, the age of a puppy when you first get them. He went to another family, who had him for quite a while, around 5 months. Then, without explanation, this family moved to Ohio, surrendering Rascal. CARE once again had him and his crazy antics for about a month. Rascal's name was changed to Boots in his time with CARE, but he wouldn't answer to that name. He ...
