10 Bold Wrestling Predictions For 2022
1. WWE Presses The Most Shocking Panic Button There Is
WWE, when it becomes apparent that the main event picture is as old and dry as a nun's twot, will panic.
Initial projections find this happening around May, June time. WrestleMania won't be big, but it'll be big enough, just, to commence the usual ratings uptick and buzz. After that, the forecast looks alarming. Half the wrestlers that stand an outside bet of entering the title picture aren't even that over. Damian Priest is somebody that is tall (read: realistic), but he's not massively over. He's considered for the spot on the "They must like him a bit, he was mates with Bad Bunny eight months ago" principle. Riddle is over, but he eats pins all the time. Again: who hasn't been WWE or Universal Champion that stands a realistic chance of getting there?
When WWE gets stuck, they're hardly going to recruit from the PWG or GCW think tank. The last time Vince needed help - or pretended he needed help to take the heat off him - he hired Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff. He only knows what happened last century, and what happened last century?
Vince Russo brought the f*cking ratings, bro!
Russo will borrow the stripper pole that is bound to appear in NXT 2.0 by February at the latest and stick an assortment of objects atop it. He will have Kofi Kingston swerve-turn on the New Day on his first night in. Guaranteed.
He will tell you that it's all a work except for this one shoot angle.
He will last a month and a half.
