Wow, I was a whopping 3-8. On the bright side, London did get a match on. Though sadly, London's Shooting Star Press alone was better than the whole PPV.Predictions:
World Heavyweight Champion Batista vs. JBL: Batista. The Lesnar watch will be in effect for this match. Batista is currently the hottest guy in WWE, even though he's gotten a fraction of JBL's screen time. While its possible history will tragically repeat itself, you've gotta believe WWE is smarter than that. Batista wins
United States Champion Orlando Jordan vs. Chris Benoit: Benoit. Orlando Jordan has held the US Title for 4 months and is, I believe, the longest running current champion, and no one has noticed. He has done practically nothing with the belt. Benoit, on the other hand, deserves better. He should win easily, but I think it'll be a competitive match.
Muhammad Hassan vs. Undertaker: Undertaker. The dynamic of this match changed with the WWE's decision to air the distasteful terrorist angle, and UPN's subsequent request/mandate to get rid of Hassan. If WWE decides to move Hassan back to Raw, I think he'd pick up a tainted win. However, I'm think Taker wil do what he does best, bury another career.
Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio: Eddie. I think Eddie picks up that elusive victory. However, I think Mysterio gives him the victory, to get the secret out in the open. Match really could go either way, however, the secret will be revealed. My guess is it will be a letdown, and probably be pretty distasteful.
Melina vs. Torrie Wilson (Bra & Panties Match): Melina... whatever
WWE Tag Team Champions MNM vs. Heidenreich & Road Warrior Animal: MNM.
Christian vs. Booker T: Christian. WWE finally gives Captain Charisma a high profile win, though not quite the big win he needs to be elevated
The bWo vs. The Mexicools: Mexicools. This is an ECW created gimmick vs one of WWE Creative's beloved racial stereotype gimmicks. Stevie and Co. put up a good fight but fall, in the end.
Hopefully, Paul London will get a match on Heat, but I don't see any more matches being added. Overall, this ought to be a missable show, nothing looks to be a showstopping match, and hopefully we will not see a new World Champion crowned.

This PPV may well have surpassed last years as the worst.
Seriously WWE, what the hell are you guys smoking over there? Nothing good came from this PPV. The secret is still on the bag, Christian jobs again, JBL wins in a way to make for this damn feud to continue, Heidenreich and Animal beat the hottest (and more or less only) Tag team in WWE, and OJ beats Benoit? Plus, no Brock Lesnar. I don't its possible to look at those results and say you seriously booked this PPV to succeed. WWE screwed everyone who paid money to see that PPV over.
