I see Hellwig winning as well.  The few matches that they have shown recently
with Savage has shown him being pounded into pulp then making miraculous 
comeback wins (example: Skinner match). Quite simply, he hasn't really been
in the public light since the exit of Elizabeth (arguably the best part of the
angles he's been in during the past couple of years...) I also see him dropping
the strap so that he can spend more time at home with the wife and try to save
his marriage.

From recent news that I've heard, this probably will not happen.  Apparently
Davey tore up ligaments in one of his knees and is listed as 'doubtful' for
even showing up at the SS matches.  No surgery was mentioned in the report, but
details were rather sketchy.

This one's gotta change in some respect. Natural Fatsters are champs now, and
unless LOD turn or Fatsters turn, no chance of title going to  LOD anytime
soon.  After the recent treatment of the Warriors, jobbed out of title shot,
and the Rocko-the-wonder-puppet angle, does anyone see a possible jump back
to WCW soon?

Question: when is Mark going to actually get into a match where he has to work?

Unless this is a title match: Then I would see the Bevs win in an upset.

Chaves vs Nord as the best of the night?? Granted there will be violence, but 
heat will be relatively nonexistent. If it is, then this will show how far
indeed the Whiff has fallen.....

No news yet as to whether Bill Eadie will be Special Referee for this particular
matchup  :)

Or Nailz Pulping Virgil and a run-in (challenge?) to occur between Nailz and

On a side note, since it looks like Hogan will be staying in Japan for a couple
of months, I don't see anything coming from him. Doubtful for Luger as well.
 
My  $.02 .....
