http://www.fourdown.org/users/DangerousDan

Money in the Bank: #237 (Site) -- #4 (League: Big Show's Big League)
No Way Out: #419 (Site) -- #6 (League: Big Show's Big League)
Over the Limit: #508 (Site) -- #11 (League: Big Show's Big League)

*** Alberto Del Rio vs. Sheamus

It's make-or-break for "Berty" here. Either this rivalry ends OR he wins the title on what seems like his 4th or 5th attempt of this fued. I know that Ziggler has the MITB case but I think they are setting up a Del Rio win here. Sheamus has the built-in injury excuse to fall back on and Del Rio has done a lot of manipulations to get this shot. Plus Ricardo can get involved as well.

My Prediction: Alberto Del Rio, Pinfall, Yes - interference

*** Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H
-- 4-Down Note: "Paul Heyman will be in Brock Lesnar's corner, Shawn Michaels will be in Triple H's corner."

I'm torn on this one. If I picked who I think should/needs to win I'd easily pick Lesnar. The guy is already 0-1 since his comeback and I don't know how you're suppossed to take him seriously if he falls to 0-2. On the other hand there's the indisputable fact that HHH is HHH. He beat CM Punk last year in a similar situation where it did no one but him any good. Now he has a chance to put himself over on a former UFC champion. I don't think his ego can let that pass.

My Prediction: Triple H, Pinfall, Yes - interference

*** Match for the WWE Championship
Big Show vs. John Cena vs. CM Punk (c)

CM Punk is now in a "tweener" role but I don't know how long that can last? It's a big PPV and it might be time for Punk to join the dark side again. But what to do with Big Show? He'd make a good bodyguard for Punk and they'd have the common ground of liking to tell people why they suck. Punk's gotta do this eventually anyway if he's ever going to fued with Austin/Rock, who I'm pretty sure will both easily outshine him as a face.

My Prediction: CM Punk, Pinfall, No - no interference

*** Kane vs. Daniel Bryan

Bryan gets distracted by the crowd, Kane wins, AJ is shown making Facial Expression #2 (out of a possible 2).

My Prediction: Kane, Pinfall, No - no interference

*** Dolph Ziggler vs. Chris Jericho

Jericho comes into this match injured and with the stigma that he can no longer win the big one. I know Ziggler needs to go over but I think Jericho needs this win a lot worse to maintain credibility. Even if he leaves for a bit he needs credibilty for his eventual return. Don't worry IWC, Ziggler can weather a loss here.

My Prediction: Chris Jericho, Pinfall, Yes - interference

*** Match for the Intercontinental Championship
Rey Mysterio vs. The Miz (c)

Miz just won the belt and while I don't enjoy his new (somewhat neutered) character as much as before its too quick to lose the belt.

My Prediction: The Miz, Pinfall, No - no interference

*** Match for the Unified Tag Team Championship
Darren Young & Titus O'Neil vs. Kofi Kingston (c) & R-Truth (c)

I'm pretty sure that the PTP were going to win with help from AW but we all know that he was fired (since someone is obsessed with being a Senator but will never, EVVVVVEEEERRRR win in the general election). My guess is that Primo/Epico will show up and inadvertantly cost Kofi/Truth in a reverse of what happened on RAW last week.

My Prediction: Darren Young & Titus O'Neil, Pinfall, Yes - interference

*** Match for the United States Championship
Antonio Cesaro vs. Santino Marella (c)

I forgot this title existed so maybe it time to give Cesaro a shot and see if he can get anyone to care about him.

My Prediction: Antonio Cesaro, Pinfall, Yes - interference

*** Sweet Chin Music, who will hear it?

-- 4-Down Note: "Out of the following list, choose all people who you think will be delivered Sweet Chin Music at SummerSlam. It is multiple choice but you will be penalized for incorrect answers, so answer wisely."

I guess a broken arm won't affect his kicking ability.

My Prediction:
Paul Heyman

*** WWE Championship Match: Who will be pinned or submitted?

Big Show helps Punk to a pin over Cena, who won't be able to overcome their double team

My Prediction: John Cena

*** MITB: Will the WHC MITB Contact get cashed in during the PPV?

This will not be for a while after they build Ziggler up a lot more

My Prediction: No

*** Who will leave SummerSlam as World Heavyweight Champion?

It's now or never for this fued

My Prediction: Alberto Del Rio

*** Will The Rock appear live at the PPV?

Like I always say it would be advertised to generatre buys

My Prediction: No

*** How many title changes will occur at SummerSlam?

-- 4-Down Note: "This includes title changes for ANY match that is aired on TV/online (such as during a pre-show), regardless of whether or not the match was announced ahead of time or presented as a match above in the game. Dark matches will not count. If one title changes hands multiple times in one show, each time it changes counts as a title change."

WHC, Tag Titles, US

My Prediction: 3 or more
