Final Resolution

TNA WORLD TITLE MATCH: AJ Styles © vs. DanielsAJ and Daniels are in my mind the Steamboat and Flair of TNA. Daniels feels AJ has hog the spotlight for too long and wants to come out of the shadows and take his place and I think he will because he'll do anything it takes to win and good is dumb. Plus TNA needs a strong heel to face off against Lashley and Angle.Winner: The Fallen AngelTHREE DEGREES OF PAIN: Desmond Wolfe vs. Kurt AngleIm not going to lie but Desmond Wolfe is my favorite wrestler right now and this is my favorite...

Only In 2010

Welcome to The Daily Slam! As the year 2009 comes to an end it brings in new hope for wrestling fans for the next year of entertainment. Let's take a quick recap of what was the year '09 in WWE. HHH, Cena, and Orton were constantly fighting for the title. DX regrouped to sell more merchandise. Hornswoggle remained undefeated against a Mexican Warrior. Jeff Hardy won the title, lost the title, won the title and then left the business to get arrested. Jericho and Big Show proved that the tag titles still mean something to us...

Tables. Latters. Chairs. Predictions.

1)World Heavyweight Champion Undertaker vs. Batista (Chair Match)Undertaker is injured and Batista needs some heat for his heel turn. Should be a fun brawl.Winner: Big Dave2)WWE Champion John Cena vs. Sheamus (Tables Match)Sheamus wins. I feel the important thing to rember in this match was John Cena's declaration of his intent to use his rematch clause at T.L.C. and that WWE seems to be high on Sheamus at the moment, he wins here... in match one. Cena being the hero will use his rematch clause and wins Match 2 in what will...

TLC 2009

My WWE TLC '09 Pay Per View Predictions. Tables.. Ladders... Chairs... Oh My! World Heavyweight Champion Undertaker vs. Batista (Chair Match) This is now the perfect time for the Deadman to drop the belt. I can see Taker holding on to it but it's not the logical choice. Batista needs to look like the dominant heel of the WWE and with his smash matches over Rey the only logical thing to do is now win the belt. Winner-...

Slammy's

Welcome to The Daily Slam! With the upcoming Raw being a 3 hour Slammy Awards Special with Guest Host Dennis Miller, I figured I'd make this post my Slammy Award predictions for the year 2009. OMG! Moment of the Year Some will say Punk by cashing in the case against Hardy seconds after he won the title but that seems too obvious. This in my mind has to be hands down Orton kissing Stephanie with HHH handcuffed to the...

Risen from the Ashes, Only to be Burned Again

Welcome to The Daily Slam! News coming from inside the walls of  the WWE is that after the new year their ECW brand/show could be receiving a whole new format. It seems that SyFy is not too pleased with the current ratings at an average of 1.0 (that's about what TNA's Impact averages as well. I'm just sayin'). Now some people will be saddened if WWE & SyFy bury the ECW brand but I, on the other hand, am one...

An Event for the Ages.

Lets get something straight there is only one pro wrestling company. That is the WWE. Though there are others they are not in the same league. By the same token the UFC is the only mma promotion in the U.S. Both Strikeforce and TNA are clear seconds but distant seconds. Both the WWE and the UFC are so firmly established they are pretty much synonymous with their respective sport in the way the NFL is with football and the NBA is with basketball. In all likely hood that won't change. Even though strikeforce has has the #1 ranked...

#1 Contender Concept

Welcome to The Daily Slam! Last nights 3 hour edition of Raw with Jesse "The Governor" (because The Body isn't cool enough to say) Ventura was one of most dynamic and interesting one in quite some time. I have always admired and respected the man for his independent views on politics and going against the ordinary life style he lives. Then he does it again with an amazing concept to livin up the show. Jesse says he's...

WWE"S Triple thre- I mean Survivor Series.

The original branded ppv is upon us. Here are my predictions.1)Team Mickie (Mickie James, Eve Torres, Kelly Kelly, Melina, and Gail Kim) vs. Team Michelle (Michelle McCool, Jillian Hall, Beth Phoenix, Layla, and Alicia Fox)Lets start by separating the good from the bad on each team. Melina has been good, Mickie and Gail are both capable but haven't been setting the world on fire as of late and Eve and Kelly Kelly both bring the looks but that's about it. Beth is a god, Michelle McCool and Jillian Hall are both capable and Layla...

Competition

Welcome to The Daily Slam! Back In the late 90's we were witnessing the greatest time on television for professional wrestling. The two biggest wrestling promotions were fighting for the tv ratings and creating new stars at the same time. I'm not going to get into this feud between WWF/E and WCW too much since we all know and watched these events. Now going into the 2010 decade, the WWE rules with an iron fist over...

Survivor Series

Well it's that time of year where wrestlers are separated into teams and must compete against each other (normally faces vs heels). Wait didn't that ppv just happen. Hmm..... I think it must be deja vu. These are Erickson's Survivor Series 2009 Pay Per View Predictions. Team Mickie (Mickie James, Eve Torres, Kelly Kelly, Melina, and Gail Kim) vs. Team Michelle (Michelle McCool, Jillian Hall, Beth Phoenix, Layla, and...

Wrestler of the Year '09

Welcome to The Daily Slam! As the year comes closer to its ending point we start reflecting on what has happened in the wrestling business for the year 2009. With the Slammy Awards right around the corner I ponder on who could be win some of this year's prestigious awards. I will have a Slammy Awards Prediction post when all the categories are announced but for this article I want to reflect on one individual who has...

That Other Championship

ECW! ECW! ECW! Those chants were heard loud and clear from the audience back in the mid-90's. It was once a business that prided itself on going above and beyond for the fans. The ECW Championship was the most prestige belt in the company and has been held by some of the greatest entertainers of our time. Superstars like the first title holder Jimmy Snuka, to The Sandman, Sabu, Raven Taz, and even RVD represented the gold to the current and reformed version of WWE ECW with champs such as Bobby Lashley, CM Punk, and Chritstian. This...

Heel Turn

Welcome to The Daily Slam! As most people were expecting the heavyweight championship to change hands this past Sunday, something more impressive came to light. Batista was seconds away from becoming the new champion but came up just short after Rey Myseterio broke up a pin-fall that would have awarded him the belt.  Next, Dave telling his so-called best friend that he was going to "rip his head off" came at a...

Bragging Rights

Raw vs Smackdown Divas Match: Melina, Gail Kim & Kelly Kelly vs Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix & NatalyaThis should be be a no brainier. Any team with Kelly Kelly loses.Winner: Smackdown StanksIC Title vs US Title: John Morrison vs The MizRivals turned friends and now back to rivals. This match is a long time coming. Both have been on a hot streak latly and while coneventional wisdom places money on Morrison Ill side with the Miz on this one. The loss here won't hurt Morrison but would the Miz and likewise Miz would get...

Bragging Rights

My predictions for the new WWE concept pay per view: Bragging Rights. A ppv to show which brand, RAW or SmackDown, holds superiority over the other show, along with two title matches. Raw vs Smackdown Divas Match: Melina, Gail Kim & Kelly Kelly vs Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix & Natalya I am going to swing my vote towards team Raw because I think there could be a good feud starting on the team SD side with Beth and Michelle. I see one of them costing the other the pin fall. If Mickie would have been apart of this match...

Guest Hosts

Welcome to The Daily Slam! As we embark on another Monday Night Raw special guest host, I feel it's time I express my thoughts on the whole concept. I must say that after Vince bought Raw back from Donald Trump and he adopted the guest host idea, I enjoyed it to a certain point. Something different every once in awhile is a good thing in show business, but I must say that it's getting a little stale now. It seems like...

Who Will Prevail?

Welcome to The Daily Slam! Announced last night on Raw, at the Bragging Rights pay per view, there will be a match that many have been anticipating for quite some time. The current Intercontinental Champion, John "Friday Night Delight" Morrison vs the new United States Champion, The Miz. I can't recall the last time that I have looked forward to a match between old friends (you can't count the Hardys feud because it...

Missed Opportunities:Bragging Rights

A ppv dedicated to WWEs 2 brands facing off is a good if not an obvious idea. Seriously, what took them this long. Wait, why don't they get it still? Its simple you have the Champions of one brand face off against the equivalent title holder of the other brand. World vs World, US vs IC, Women's vs Divas tag vs-enn scratch that last one. It could be like a high school wrestling match you get so many points for a pin so many for a submission and to make it interesting winning brand gets three or so draft picks. This is something...

Missed Opportunities: Knockout Tag Team Championship.

When I first herd TNA were going to create a women's tag division I was a little excited. I've always liked woman's wrestling and tag wrestling so put the two together great combo. Add that TNA started out pretty well with the knockout divison but lately it has become a train wreck this would have been a good way to return it to its rightful place especially with the return Scott Demoore who first led it to greatness in the first place. However things didn't turn out as well as I hoped.For starters they rushed the tournament...

I apoligise for how off the predictions were

they were really really off dearreader. I is sor...

Another Rematch?

Welcome to The Daily Slam! Ladies and gentleman, we present to you match number 237 between Orton and Cena. I would imagine that number is probably about accurate right about now. This time they up'd the ante though. Of course they had to have another gimmick match but this one I actually like. The 'I Quit' match served its purpose to show how superior Cena can be, but then to have a 'Hell in a Cell' match was a waste...

New Show Ideas

Bootlegs- Its hard to have any meaningful matches like title changes at shows very few people will see, yet house shows remain a major part of business for promotions. What if a promotion filmed all their shows and took all the best house show matches and put them together in a show. This would add an element of excitement to all house shows while making sure great matches that would remain hidden are seen. To keep will the theme and cost down they could use handheld cameras.Face 2 Face- A few years ago Wrestling Society X tried...

NO CHANCE IN HELL... IN A CELL!!!!

WWE US Title Match: Kofi Kingston vs. The Miz vs. Jack SwaggerI expect Miz and Swagger will gang up on kofi who'll be playing face in pearl for the whole match he'll be resilient but the odds are too great. Swagger will be the dominate wrestler in this match and the miz will be sneaky. As i said we should expect some team work from swagger and the miz but when kofi seems out of it they ll turn on each other expect the miz to be the first to turn. As for the outcome i expect the miz to sneak a roll up on swagger to win his first...
