The End Of An Era!

On Feb. 7, 2008 , WWE announced that they had ended their relationship with OVW as a developmental territory, moving all contracted talent to Florida Championship Wrestling.
For the past 10 years "Nightmare" Danny Davis has been making superstar after superstar for the WWE. It truly is the end of an era, and one that a lot of wrestling fans are sad about. Years from now they will be inducting a lot of his students in the Hall of Fame, I am sure. Here is a list of his students that are still working in the WWE.

Beth Phoenix, "The Big Show" Paul Wight, Carlito Colón, Charlie Haas, Cody Rhodes, D.H. Smith, Drew McIntyre, Jillian Hall, John Cena, Katie Lea Burchill, Lance Cade, Maria Kanellis, Malina Perez, Mickie James, Mr. Kennedy, Paul Burchill, Paul London, Randy Orton, "Highlander" Robbie McAllister, "Highlander" Rory McAllister, Santino Marella, Gene Snitsky, Dave Batista, Cherry, Curt Hawkins, Deuce, Domino, Eve Torres, Festus, Jesse, Kenny Dykstra, Mark Henry, Maryse Ouellet, Michelle McCool, Victoria, Zack Ryder, Armando Estrada, "The Boogeyman" Marty Wright, CM Punk, Elijah Burke, John Morrison, Kelly Kelly, Kofi Kingston, Shelton Benjamin, "The Miz" Mike Mizanin.

I am not going to say WWE would not be what it is today without OVW and Danny Davis. Full credit would still have to be given to the McMahon's for that, but OVW gave them the building blocks in which to do so. The list above is just the currently active OVW Alumni, I could not even begin to list the ones that have already left the WWE.

By the looks of things, it would seem that OVW is planning on continuing with business as usual. They definitely have the talent to do so. Also it seems that the talent have a little more freedom now to do a little more with their gimmicks. I don't believe Vince is totally going to turn off the tap either. He knows Danny Davis is a maker of superstars and will be grabbing a couple of talents here and there from the ranks of OVW. It is still sad to see the relationship ended though.

Since I live in the OVW area I will be posting from time to time a short profile of some of the current OVW talent and reasons why I think they are ready to be called up to one of the major shows. Weather it be WWE or TNA. So be looking for these posts in the future!
I would like to congratulate "The Fabulous One" Steve Keirn and FCW on being the new developmental contract they have with the WWE. I have always been a big fan of his and I wish him and his school the best of luck. You have mighty big boots to fill!

No Way Out Predictions!

I did pretty good with the matches at the Royal Rumble PPV. So here are my predictions for No Way Out!

Career Threatening Match

Again if "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair loses his career is over! This should be a more interesting match up then when MVP tried at the Rumble, but for the same reason I picked Flair to win over MVP, I also have to go with Flair over Kennedy. Flair is such an important icon of this industry, I do not think they will waste his retirement match on Kennedy. It is going to be someone a little more important than Mr. Kennedy. Flair will win by submission.

ECW Championship

Somewhat interesting rivilry has developed in the land of extreme. Former champ CM Punk lost the title not long ago to Chavo Guerrero, and finally the "Stright Edge Extremist" gets his rematch this Sunday. Sorry Punk fans, but I don't see CM Punk getting the title back any time soon. Chavo will find some way to cheat and win and Punk will be forced to work his way back through the ranks of ECW. A new number one contender will make himself known in the coming weeks. Possibly Shelton or the returning Big Show! Chavo will win by a pinfall.

World Heavyweight Championship

Vicki just cannot stop getting hurt can she! LOL! Good storyline with the Edge & Vicki love affair, but I really don't see it lasting much longer. Edge will cheat a win out of this match somehow, and the Edge & Mysterio fued will be over for now. Edge will win by pinfall.

WWE Championship

We all know who the WWE believes is their meal ticket at the moment, and of course they will want him with the belt come Wrestlemania! I really hate to say this but John Cena will win by submission. Regaining his championship!

Smackdown/ECW Elimination Chamber

Six men will enter; The Undertaker, Finley, The Great Khali, Batista, MVP, & Big Daddy V, but only the Deadman will walk out! Everyone wants to see Undertaker and Edge at Wrestlemania, and I believe the WWE has decided to give it to us. Undertaker for the win.

Raw Elimination Chamber

Six men will enter; Triple H, Jeff Hardy, Shawn Michaels, Umaga, JBL, & Chris Jericho, but only the Rainbow Haired Warrior will walk out! Jeff Hardy for the win. Hardy & Cena will make a huge main event at Wrestlemania!

TNA's Against All Odds Predictions

I don't normally watch TNA as much as WWE, but what the hell I'll give it a whirl!

Ok I will star the with the stupidest bout first!

"Cowboy" James Storm vs. "Showtime" Eric Young (Drinking Contest)

Personally I will be glad when this fued is over! Why it is even on the PPV I will never understand. If the contest is even allowed to be finished, Eric Young will win, but I am betting Storm is planning on fighting instead of drinking. Look for Storm to jump Young ending the contest.

Payton Banks vs. Traci Brooks

Miss Brooks will finally get her hands around the neck of Payton Banks. I am predicting one hell of a beat down. With Brooks left standing over what is left of Payton! Possible DQ.

AJ Styles & Tomko vs. BG James and Bullet Bob (Tag Team Championship)
