Kaliqo's Unforgiven Picks, Predictions & Speculations

WWE Diva's Championship: Michelle McCool (c) vs. Maryse
I love the Diva Championship belt, but I am not interested in seeing these two "wrestle" at all. I do wish that wweshop.com would sell replica belt buckles of the belt. I would buy that.

World Tag Team Championship Match: Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Cryme Tyme
This should be a good one. Ted DiBiase is definitely the star of this group. Since Cryme Tyme is over as faces I think the titles should stay with the current champs.

ECW Championship 'Scramble' Match: Mark Henry (c) vs. Matt Hardy vs. Chavo Guerrero vs. Finlay vs. The Miz
Oh God ECW. I just don't get it. Mark Henry is pitiful in the ring. I'd like to see Matt with the title. He's earned it.

World Heavyweight Championship 'Scramble' Match: CM Punk (c) vs. JBL vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Kane vs. Batista
I'm sure CM Punk will retain the title, but as long as they don't put it on JBL or Mysterio, I'm a happy camper.

WWE Championship 'Scramble' Match: Triple H (c) vs. MVP vs. Brian Kendrick vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Shelton Benjamin
I would like to see Jeff get the title and re-new his feud with Triple H. A Shelton Benjamin/Triple H feud would be good also.

Unsanctioned Match: Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels
I don't think it matters who wins this match because it is going to be amazing regardless of the outcome. I would expect Shawn to get the pin.

Circle of Champions: Jeff Hardy, Big Show, Triple H grant wishes

With Unforgiven just days away, WWE Superstars Jeff Hardy, Big Show and WWE Champion Triple H brought gigantic smiles to the faces of Make-A-Wish’s Deyanira Santana of New York and Camden Martin of St. Louis, Wishing Well Foundation’s Jessica Kuebler of St. Louis, and Dream Factory’s Christian Mowry of Sullivan, Mo.

The Game got a surprise that made him blush. Jessica asked the WWE Champion out on a date to one of her favorite St. Louis steakhouses.

“It’s always great to meet True Champs. Usually, you’re there to put a smile on their face, but they end up putting a smile on yours, because they’re so full of life,” said The Game. “That was very nice of Jessica to give Cena and Orton get well cards … To see a kid beaming is the best part of our profession.” And Triple H was still smiling over his date request...More?

Hollywood Screenwriter Talks About His Time In WWE

Paul Guay is a Hollywood screenwriter who never understood why Tinsletown execs looked down on the pro wrestling business and it's fans in particular.

Paul Guay claims in the story, "I really think it's as simple as the fact that it's fake," he begins. "Because it's fake people look down on it, which doesn't make any more sense than saying: who likes Hamlet, that's fake." He goes on to point out that the "real versus fake" debate simplifies the complexities of good storytelling in wrestling and gives people an easy way to label the sport-entertainment conglomerate and its fans. "Yeah, it is fake, but is it well done? Do you get involved with the characters and their personalities? I think people stop at, 'Oh it's fake, therefore it's for children and idiots.' Well, there are children and idiots who like wrestling, but there are also intelligent people who like wrestling...More?
