I predicted Adam Cole would get fired due to twitch. I never imagined they’d let his contract expire and the twitch stream would be a contributing factor to him not re-signing though. I was dead on with AEW getting Clash-type specials though. Now bring on a Batista appearance and a 1.3 for Raw!

All right, time for some ridiculous predictions. I'm trying out this new "post scheduler" extension that will let me choose when posts will appear on the board. Let's set this one to appear at 11:29 on today, the 31st of December 2020. Kenny Omega's rematch with Moxley will be an exploding barbed wire exploding ring match. The resulting explosion will look so crappy that it will cause Atsushi Onita to relaunch FMW in order to redeem the good name of exploding rings Miro will lose a tag match that involves one of his favourite arcade games getting smashed to pieces. This will anger him so much that he becomes the scariest man who has ever lived. Kip Sabian will be so scared of him that he starts wearing a box on his head Not only will AEW and New Japan start working together, the Forbidden Door will be blown open to the point where IWGP titles change hands on AEW shows. Tomohiro Ishii will end up tagging with Orange Cassidy, who is now a member of CHAOS. Despite being considered as a disappointment as the Joker in the AEW Revolution Casino Battle Royal, All Ego Ethan Page will become a mainstay of the promotion, will wrestle Sting at the next PPV and will gain the nickname "the tightest tits in the game" Not only will Fuego Del Sol get signed, he will form a hugely popular tag team with his son, Fuego 2. Jon Moxley will wrestle multiple times on New Japan Strong. He will also win the GCW title from Zack Ryder. The Lucha Bros will lose the AAA tag titles to an unknown pair of luchadores called Los Super Ranas. Chase Owens will beat Hiroshi Tanahashi and Taichi in singles matches. NXT will be rebranded in primary colours with a focus on attracting a younger audience. The theme tune will include the lyrics "Pimpin' powder, and pussy tryna make pennies. See n*ggas lie on the stand, guess hell ain't harder than prison, who knows" The biggest face on NXT will be Rick Steiner's son, who they never mention is Rick Steiner's son despite him looking and sounding like a combination of Rick and Scott Steiner. He will continue his father's feud with Chucky from the Child's Play movies. By the end of 2021, three of the four people who held the NXT title in 2020 will be released. The NXT champion will debut on RAW and get squashed by Jeff Hardy in less than two minutes. WWE will build up a character for re-debut with a series of high production videos expanding his character's lore. He will to TV at the end of May, get released on June 2nd, and turn up on AEW 30 days later in a hot feud with Cody Rhodes. WWE's only five star match of 2021 will be for the NXT-UK title. Despite everyone raving about the match, nobody will watch NXT-UK The fall draft will bring nine NXT wrestlers up to either RAW or Smackdown. Within two months, five of them will be released. After Retribution falls apart, WWE have big plans for Slapjack, as they promptly realise he's Australian, dress him as Crocodile Dundee, have him wrestle two dark matches, then release him before the gimmick makes TV DDT will hold a match for the Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship in which a book gets a pinfall over another book. There will be a quarter hour of TV in which Roman Reigns is on WWE programming and The Bunny is on AEW programming. The Bunny will win the ratings.

WWE responded by just firing more people. edogawa rando posted:One of WWE’s shows will not survive the year.

Brock will also squash whoever beats Roman for championship on the Smackdown "season premiere" on FS1. Lesnar returned at SummerSlam which was the first full-crowd show, so this part is right.

It's funny because All Japan are actually in as good shape financially as they've been in a while because someone involved in the ownership is involved in a film company that had a surprise hit & thus are flush. Also cannot believe Zero1 still exists, even if it's purely for sold shows. At this point their roster is Tanaka, Otani, Chris Vice, Hartley Jackson, & 4 other dudes. Plus somehow a trainee woman for reasons I guess? NATSUMI seems good anyway Pretty sure my predictions for the rest of history will include "and finally Naoya Nomura will return to All Japan from his injury" because I refuse to accept the inevitable forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 12:41 on Nov 30, 2021 |

well hey, it's time once again for me to get everything wrong about wrestling in TYOOL 2021!Venomous posted:ah, jeez. Will I make it? Let's see! Venomous posted:By this time next year, the following will be the champions and tournament winners of these major companies: Well, we're already off to a bad start. AJ Styles has been relegated to the tag division all year, as he tries his damnedest to get Omos over. Is he doing it? Idk, I don't watch the show. Anyway, I'm happy for Big E. Venomous posted:Universal Champion: John Cena This could have happened at Summerslam. I mean, obviously, no it couldn't, because Cena is still in Hollywood and he was never going to be around after Summerslam, but hell, he could have had a Lesnar run. Goodness knows, we'd be seeing Big E in the main event too. Anyway, Roman is still champ, which is whatever. He could do better outside the Fed, but he won't, because he won't be paid as well lmao. Venomous posted:Intercontinental Champion: Matt Riddle Ah, good, Nakamura's the champ. gently caress Matt Riddle, the rapist piece of poo poo. Venomous posted:US Champion: Lars Sullivan I am glad Lars was released and retired this year. One less Nazi in wrestling has to be a good thing. Anyway, congratulations to *checks notes* Damian Priest? Ew Venomous posted:Raw Tag Team Champions: Dolph Ziggler and uhhh Seth Rollins, gently caress it Huh, apparently Ziggler was a tag champ this year with Bobby Roode. Could've been right, I guess. Anyway, unfortunately for us, Matt Riddle is still a champ, alongside a similarly lovely person known as Randy Orton. Venomous posted:Smackdown Tag Team Champions: The Undisputed Era I have nothing to say about this tbh. I am just glad that Cole and Fish are all together in AEW, and I hope KOR will join them soon enough. Venomous posted:Raw Women's Champion: Lacey Evans I mean, if she weren't on maternity leave, she absolutely would be the champ right now. Anyway, the Fed's women's division is an absolute mess and I hate everything about it. Venomous posted:Smackdown Women's Champion: Ronda Rousey I did think she'd be back now. Oh well. Venomous posted:Women's Tag Team Champions: idfk, Charlotte and Becky The last I heard about the Women's Tag Champs is that the number one contenders had their title match cancelled, and then it wasn't rescheduled, and the drat thing is still in limbo. Anyway, who are the champs right now? uhhh Carmella and Zelina? Huh, maybe I was wrong, and they did get their match. As I said, I don't keep up with the drat show. Venomous posted:NXT Champion: Velveteen Dream lmao Thank the loving Lord. Venomous posted:NXT NA Champion: Leon Ruff I have heard literally nothing about Leon Ruff since he was released this year, which is a shame, because the guy seemed pretty cool and he should have had a proper title reign. Venomous posted:NXT Tag Team Champions: Timothy Thatcher and Santos Escobar idk what was going through my head when I guessed this tbh. Anyway, both of them are pretty cool, but iirc Thatcher's off TV now for whatever reason? He should really be released and sent to AEW, but that's most good wrestlers in the Fed lmao. Venomous posted:NXT Women's Champion: Kacy Catanzaro again, idk what I was thinking. I had no idea Mandy Rose would be back in NXT now either lmao. Venomous posted:Cruiserweight Champion: Malcolm Bivens Well, Roddy is Bivens-adjacent, so whatever. Anyway, they're probably deactivating the title in the next year. Venomous posted:NXT UK Champion: Walter Could not be happier to be wrong. WALTER/Ilja is still my MOTY, and I am so happy for Ilja, even though he's the champ of a nonexistent promotion. Venomous posted:NXT UK Tag Team Champions: Rampage Brown and Saxon Huxley I am pretty sure I just plucked two names out of thin air and was expecting they'd start tagging together after this. As of this date they have had one singles match against each other in NXT UK and nothing else. Venomous posted:NXT UK Heritage Cup Champion: Noam Dar holy gently caress, I'm actually right about this. Venomous posted:NXT UK Women's Champion: Isla Dawn I am not, however, right about this. Anyway, Meiko Satomura is in the Fed? Huh. Venomous posted:(holy poo poo the WWE STILL has far too many titles) As usual, this has not changed. Venomous posted:Royal Rumble winner: The Rock ahahahaha no. Edge won it this year, right? gently caress's sake. Venomous posted:Women's Royal Rumble winner: Lana I realised they'd devalue the Women's division this year, I just thought they'd do it a bit earlier than they did. Venomous posted:Money In The Bank winner: Baron Corbin Once again, congrats to Big E. So much better. Venomous posted:AEW: I honestly don't know why we haven't seen Kenny/Darby yet. I mean, Kenny's injured now, but gently caress's sake, I did expect them to at least have a title match in the past year, because Darby could have been a legit contender. Venomous posted:AEW TNT Champion: PAC Soon. He'll dethrone Cody soon enough. Venomous posted:FTW Championship: Unified with the AEW belt lmao Wrong and I couldn't be happier about it. Put the strap on Hook and push him the loving moon. Venomous posted:AEW Women's Champion: Nyla Rose It was possible imo. Anyway, congrats to Britt, she's been great this year. Venomous posted:AEW Tag Team Champions: Alex Reynolds and John Silver I guessed the Lucha Bros last year and they're the champs this year, so maybe this time next year we'll see Johnny Hungee with tag gold around his waist? Venomous posted:NJPW: Jay should have loving won on 1/5, and I still stand by that. Venomous posted:IWGP Intercontinental Champion: Will Ospreay If Jay had won, then I feel like he wouldn't have merged the belts and Naito would have beaten him for the IC this year, and I have no doubt in my mind that he'd lose it to Billy Brexit by now. Either way, I didn't expect them to actually merge the titles, which is one of the stupidest things NJPW has done in ages. That said, Ospreay is proclaiming himself the real world champion, so it's functionally equivalent to an IC title reign. I dunno, I guess I'll award this a 0.5. Venomous posted:IWGP US Champion: KENTA Oh hey, I'm right! Interested to see where this goes. Venomous posted:IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion: YOH Soon. He MUST beat Hiromu in the next year. Venomous posted:IWGP Tag Team Champions: Hirooki Goto and YOSHI-HASHI SOON. 19 days and it will goddamn happen. Venomous posted:IWGP KOPW Champion 2021: Kota Ibushi You know, if Ibushi was healthy, I do think he'd be KOPW champ by now. Venomous posted:IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions: SHO and Robbie Eagles urgh. I didn't see SHO's heel turn coming, or his defection to House of Torture. Anyway, I'm half right, so I'll give myself 0.5 because of Robbie Eagles. Venomous posted:NEVER Openweight Champion: The Great O-Khan I have no doubt in my mind that GOK will be NEVER champ in the next year. Venomous posted:NEVER 6-Man Champion: GOD and Taiji Ishimori House of loving Torture. loving hell. They are the absolute worst. Anyway, at least I thought it'd be Bullet Club. Venomous posted:New Japan Cup winner: SANADA lol, nope. Venomous posted:Best of the Super Juniors winner: SHO LOL, NOPE. Venomous posted:G1 Climax winner: Kazuchika Okada I was right, and I was right! Also, Okada is the greatest babyface in wrestling right now for wanting to get rid of that loving belt, so we should all be rooting for him to beat Shingo and Ospreay at the Dome, of course. Venomous posted:KOPW Provisional Champion 4-Way Winner: Toru Yano Welp, I guess I was right. Venomous posted:Young Lion Cup winner: Yuya Uemura They didn't do a C-Block this year, did they? Pity. Venomous posted:Super J-Cup 2021 winner: ACH Of course they didn't have one. Venomous posted:Super Junior Tag League winners: El Desperado and Yoshinobu Kanemaru Huh, I was actually right. Venomous posted:World Tag League winners: FinJuice Welp, they weren't even in it. Figures, considering that Juice is probably moving to AEW in the New Year. Venomous posted:AJPW: Amazingly, no. Congrats to Jake Lee. Venomous posted:World Tag Team Champions: Takumi Soya and Suwama Amazingly, I'm half right, though I have absolutely no idea what compelled me to predict Takumi Soya would be an AJPW tag champ, seeing as he hasn't wrestled a match in any promotion since 2017. Venomous posted:World Junior Heavyweight Champion: Akira At least I was right that he'd win the title this year. Thought he'd stay another tour or two tho. Oh well. Venomous posted:All Asia Tag Team Champions: You know what, this is fine. STRONGHEARTS is good. Venomous posted:Gaora TV Champion: Yoshitatsu As I said above, STRONGHEARTS is good. Irie is a good wrestler. Venomous posted:AJPW TV 6-Man Tag Team Champions: *spins the wheel* CIMA, Kuma Arashi, and Rising HAYATO Not one single correct prediction. Figures. Venomous posted:Jr. Battle of Glory winner: Akira I was right! gently caress yeah! Venomous posted:Champion Carnival winner: Naoya Nomura Naoya at least he's back now! Venomous posted:Jr. Tag Battle of Glory winner: Tajiri and Koji Iwamoto Amazingly, it hasn't happened yet. I'd tell myself to watch this space, but considering that neither of them are in the bloody tournament, I'm going to mark this down as wrong by default. Venomous posted:Royal Road Tournament winner: Zeus Zeus was *checks notes* knocked out in the second round by the eventual runner-up of the tournament. I don't mind, I like Ashino, but damnit, he should have gone all the way this year, and the only reason he didn't was that Suwama was injured earlier this year. Oh well. Venomous posted:World's Strongest Tag Determination League winners: idfk, Masato Tanaka and Naoya Ogawa Not only were neither of them in the Real World Tag League this year, they're not even in the same bloody company! Seriously, Ogawa's last match was in 2015 for Inoki's shindie, and Tanaka's been tearing it up in NOAH! On that note: Venomous posted:NOAH: Nearly!!! Congratulations to Nakajima tho. Venomous posted:GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion: Chris Ridgeway Chris Ridgeway hasn't even been in Japan this year! Jeezo, he has more chance of popping up in New Japan next year than bloody NOAH! Venomous posted:GHC National Champion: Kazushi Sakuraba You know what, this really could have happened, considering that Sakuraba's kicking rear end with Sugiura right now. Congrats to Kenoh tho. Venomous posted:GHC Tag Team Champions: Kaito Kiyomiya and Go Shiozaki I maintain that this will happen in the next year. Anyway, I was nearly half-right lmao. Venomous posted:GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions: Hayata and Yoshinari Ogawa ...holy loving poo poo, I'm right. Wow. Venomous posted:Global Tag League winner: Kaito Kiyomiya and Go Shiozaki lmao it didn't happen Venomous posted:Global Junior Heavyweight Tag League winners: honestly idfk, Minoru Tanaka and Hi69 LMAO IT DIDN'T HAPPEN Venomous posted:Global Junior Heavyweight League winner: Hajime Ohara L M A O IT DID NOT loving HAPPEN Venomous posted:N1 Victory Winner: Kenoh L. M. A. -oh, wait, this one did happen. IMO this could have easily flipped the other way, and we could be seeing GHC Heavyweight Champion Kenoh and GHC National Champion Katsuhiko Nakajima right now. Or Nakajima could be double gold champ right now, idk Venomous posted:additionally: This feels like it shouldn't count. Of course Vince will never die, he's a loving ghoul who, in spite of all his compulsive cocaine usage in the 80s and his probable continued steroid usage after the scandal, hasn't keeled over and likely won't for another twenty years at least. You know what, I'm going to say that neither this nor the following three predictions count, because hell, I had other predictions after the main ones last year and they sure as hell didn't count. Venomous posted:-Raw's ratings will only resurge if it becomes overt white nationalist propaganda Well, let's check Raw's ratings as of this week! https://twitter.com/BrandonThurston/status/1470862990157266945. That seems kinda stagnant to me, and I don't think it actually resurged as such this year. It had a couple of peaks, sure, but iirc they've been hitting record low after record low. If they had gone full fash with the product, would they be resurging? Almost certainly, yes. Will they? No. Venomous posted:-King of the Ring will not happen Wrong lmao. At least Xavier finally achieved his dream, but of course he had to be embarrassed by Roman Reigns afterwards. Venomous posted:
The other week some dirtsheet, can't remember which, published an article which claimed that a significant portion of the AJPW locker room is really not happy with Tajiri's booking. Frankly, I don't know what that says about the product - I haven't really been following it this year - but it doesn't sound like the company's overall morale is any better. Regardless, if someone can tell me if AJPW is overall better this year than last year, I'd appreciate that. So okay! Counting up the points and half points, that gives me uhhhh 9.5 out of 64. Considering I was half right for one of them last year, I should have had 4.5 out of 57, which is 7.9%, so I actually had 92.1% of them wrong lmao, and instead of decreasing my correct prediction rate, I have shamefully got 14.8% of them correct this year (and thus 85.2% wrong lmao), so I guess if you're into rounding that's 92% and 85% incorrect. Anyway, 15% correct is horrible, but unfortunately it's not as comedically horrible as either last year's predictions or my aspiring rate of 99% wrong predictions. So that's 2021 over and done with! Will 2022 be any different? Let's wait and see.

Monday Night Raw will not go below a 1.3 overall: Did it? Dynamite will not go above a 1.1 overall: It did like...twice? The AEW World Title will change hands once; from Kenny to Page: Layup Cody will continue to be a face who is constantly teasing at being a heel so he can keep using his tweener entrance ramp though the entire year: basically The TNT title will change hands no fewer than 5 times. Only...twice? Wow. There will not be more than one woman's match on any single episode of Dynamite or whatever the new show is called: It happened a few times and one of the matches was usually a squash. No worker currently listed as being part of the Raw or Smackdown brands will appear in AEW this year: 3(?) did. Andrade, Brian and Malachai yes? The others were retired/nXt. Were Paul Wight or Mark Henry listed on a roster? The Young Bucks will drop the Tag Team titles to Best Friends: Didn't realize Trent would spend most of the year injured A prominent AEW wrestler will be 'spoken out' against but will not be punished for it: It's not technically accurate but Jay Lethal. NXT will not budge from it's Wednesday night slot even as ratings dwindle: Hahahaha!

Regardless, if someone can tell me if AJPW is overall better this year than last year, I'd appreciate that. It was Voices of Wrestling and the consensus is their source is Yoshitatsu & I get why he'd be upset like Okada & Iwamoto because he has been downcycled HARD & it's loving great. He's no longer Kento's default Tag partner, Yuma is such a dramatic upgrade. I think that 2021 was a better year from All Japan. They finally elevated Lee, it was too late but the heel turn was good. Hasn't been a stellar reign but it's something new & AJPW desperately needed that. Nomura going is heart breaking. But Yuma Aoyagi is firmly establishing him in that position & that rules, his Tag stuff with Kento has been great. Despite loving around with Iwamoto the Juniors is in a pretty decent position with SUGI & STRONGHEARTS around, Runaway SUPLEX rules, even the loving GAORA TV Title had a resurgence between Jun Kasai & Shuji Ishikawa's reigns. It's not the best promotion in the world but they had a fun year. Mind you, I've just seen the results of today's AJPW show & uhhhhhhhh tempted to delete all this & just replace it with a fart sound. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 13:29 on Dec 16, 2021 |

YEAR 2021 HAS CONCLUDED AND IT IS TIME TO SEE WHO WAS THE PREDICTIONS MASTER!!!!! Let's start with the ONE SHOT, ONE KILL award recipients: BrigadierSensible and Sanguinia! BrigadierSensible posted:I predict that in 2021, Bo Dallas will win zero, (0), championships. Sanguinia posted:The Forbidden Portal will open Incredible! And if you think this highly prestigious award is too easy to get, the following forums posters "didn't get all of it", as they say: Pylons, edogawa rando, MassRafTer, Numero6, Reality Protester, Animal-Mother, RKRGoat, Macksy, super macho dude. (note: one-shot predictions are not considered in the best percentage category) Up next we have the winner of the A FOR EFFORT / VENOMOUS AWARD FOR VENOMOUS award, which goes to Venomous! Venomous was actually able to improve to 14.8% correct from last year's 7.9%! Venomous posted:ah, jeez. edit: I had A PESSIMIST'S DREAM award here but it was incorrect because I'm dumb lol We have a new special award to give out this year. Holla if you hear forums poster Guillermus who gets the 141 2/3 OUT OF 100 award! Guillermus posted:You know they say that all shows are created equal, but you look at AEW and you look at WWE and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another show, you got a 50/50 chance of winning the ratings. But AEW is a dynamic show and is not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat AEW. Then you add Impact! to the mix, WWE's chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way at 2021, WWE got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but AEW got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Impact! KNOWS it can't beat AEW and is not even gonna try! It's time for the main event: the awards for the best percentage correct and most impressively correct predictions... This year the "best percentage correct" award is named A WINNER IS YOU. Last year's winner Wazzu, who did not participate this year, has been dethroned by....... A Fancy Hat! A Fancy Hat posted:AEW will have at least one episode that beats Monday Night Raw in total ratings, leading to absolute chaos in WWE world and insane publicity stunts like celebrity guest hosts coming back, multiple title changes on free TV, and stuff like cage matches and inferno matches happening on Raw A Fancy Hat managed to get 4/6 individual items or 66.67% correct! AEW did not beat RAW at any point (right?) and WWE didn't do insane publicity poo poo, but WWE DID lose Daniel Bryan (1 point) who has made people remember why he's amongst the best wrestlers of all time (1 point), and also we did get crowds back in the fall (1 point) and AEW has indeed been whipping WWE's rear end when it comes to attendance (1 point). Congratulations, A Fancy Hat! And finally, previous champion Huntman did decently this time as well but someone else made some extremely clairvoyant predictions. I don't watch this promotion so maybe their predictions were obvious but to me it felt like IceAgeComing's guesses regarding STARDOM were so spot on that I shall give them the STAR MAN award for most impressively correct predictions! IceAgeComing posted:You forgot the prestigious KOPW Title; you surely need to include that. Also the Global Junior League was in January last year so I might reconsider that Ridgeway prediction to cover that. - Stardom's anniversary show in March (there seems to have been another in October? I have no idea) drew over 3k people! I don't know about the expensive seats so whatever. Also didn't bother looking up the bigger venues bit. - Yoshiko did wrestle Mayu Iwatani at that show. That was Yoshiko's only appearance in Stardom in 2021. Act Yasukawa and Kairi Hojo did not appear in Stardom. - Suzu Suzuki retained the title, lost it to Fujimoto in January who in turn lost it to Tsukushi Haruka in November. - NJPW did not hold a major show in the US but nothing was announced for next year - NXT did not launch in 2021, probably in part due to COVID? In fact, it's probably not happening at all, so the rest of it doesn't apply - I have zero idea about the British stuff and didn't feel like researching it. It does seem some stuff has been happening over there but no one's talking about it, so that stuff is partly correct I guess. I don't think too many promotions have gone down either? Congratulations, IceAgeComing! And one more time for clarity: 2021 prediction game winners: STAR MAN (most impressively correct predictions): IceAgeComing A WINNER IS YOU (best percentage correct): A Fancy Hat 141 2/3 OUT OF 100: Guillermus A FOR EFFORT / VENOMOUS AWARD FOR VENOMOUS (tons of predictions, most of them wrong): Venomous ONE SHOT, ONE KILL (100% correct with one prediction): BrigadierSensible, Sanguinia a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 09:00 on Jan 2, 2022 |
