WWE Night Of Champions 2008 Results
ECW Championship: Kane (c) vs. The Big Show vs. Mark Henry
I should have gone with who I said was the logical pick - Henry; Big Show is SD and Kane is Raw. That only left Henry who was ECW. The end came when Kane gave Show a superplex and then was immediately splashed by Henry. Is Henry World Title Material? No, but the ECW Title isn't exactly on the same level as the Heavyweight Title or WWE Title.
Me: 0/1
Dave: 0/1
WWE Championship: Triple H (c) vs. John Cena
Trips wins after reversing an attempted STFU into a Crippler Crossface which Cena reversed into an FU which Trips escaped from and gave Cena a pedigree. Follow all that?
Me: 1/2
Dave: 1/2
World Tag Team Championship: Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Ted DiBiase and TBA
I predicted that DiBiase's partner would be a let down and it was - Here is how it went down. DiBiase came to the ring and said that his partner was running late. The match began with DiBiase without a partner. DiBiase insisted that Holly start off in the ring. Holly entered the ring and Rhodes DDT'd him and it was revealed that Rhodes was DiBiase's partner. DiBiase then gave Holly a combination Million $ Dream / Russian Leg Sweep. Rhodes is now a 2-time champ. What a waste.
Me: 2/3
Dave: 2/3
WWE Diva's Championship: Natalya vs. TBA - This will be used to inaugurate the Diva's Championship by determining the first champion.
----Match didn't take place----
World Heavyweight Championship: Edge (c) vs. Batista
Batista was about to pin Edge after a Batista Bomb/Spinebuster when Vicki pulled the ref out as he was about to count 3. Edge then pulled the ref out of the ring and punched him. Vicki then called for a new ref and Chavo came out in a ref's shirt. Edge then nailed Batista with the belt and covered him while Chavo counted 1,2,3.
Me: 2/4
Dave: 3/4
WWE United States Championship: Matt Hardy (c) vs. Chavo Guerrero
Hardy won.
Me: 3/5
Dave: 4/5
WWE Tag Team Championship: John Morrison and The Miz (c) vs. Finlay and Hornswoggle
Miz and Morrison won after Morrison destroyed Hornswoggle (not hard to do). At one point Hornswoggle was giving Miz a bunch of DDTs, Bulldogs, and Hurricanranas. It looked ridiculous since Miz pretty much had to lift Hornswoggle up so he could do the moves.
Me: 4/6
Dave: 5/6
WWE Women's Championship: Mickie James (c) vs. Katie Lea Burchill
Mickie wins.
Me: 5/7
Dave: 6/7
WWE Intercontinenal Championship: Chris Jericho (c) vs. Kofi Kingston
Jericho came out and said that he was hoping that he would defend the IC Title against HBK, but that HBK wasn't there. Kofi then came out and the match began. Eventhough Kofi is a relative newcomer I figured that he would get the win; I didn't really think that the WWE would have the IC Title involved in the whole Jericho/HBK feud.I was impressed by Kofi. Towards the end of the match HBK came running out through the crowd and then gave Cade, who was watching Jericho's back, a superkick. He then climbed on the apron and Jericho, who had Kofi in the Walls of Jericho, knocked him off of the apron. As Jericho turned around Kofi delivered his spin-kick thing and got the win and title. As HBK was being helped to the back Jericho went over to him and hit him in the eye - AGAIN.
Me: 6/8
Dave: 6/7
I am really surprised that we both did so well. I was totally confused on who to pick because of the whole shifting of the rosters after the draft and I thought that Dave's total would suffer since his picks were made without taking the draft into account.
