My Extreme Rules Predictions
Our resident philosopher brings out his slightly cracked crystal ball to predict the outcomes and twists in the Extreme Rules Pay Per View

One Night Stand has been replaced by Extreme Rules. Every match is a gimmick match, leaning towards a more brutal feel. With WWE’s latest Family Friendly mindset, don’t expect all that much blood and gore. This PPV won’t have any huge twists or surprises. WWE is building to Night of Champions and then Summerslam. This is like going to downtown Reno and getting the Aces baseball team, when you are expecting the New York Yankees.

Funking Conservatory Press Release – WrestleMania 25 DVD – Number One on Billboard Top 10
 
(From WWE Shop)
For 25 years, it (WrestleMania) has been the biggest event of WWE’s year, a global pop culture phenomenon. Careers have been made and legends born. The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania will see some of the most intense clashes in its storied history. A rivalry has become intensely personal as Triple H and Randy Orton fight for more than the WWE Championship. Shawn Michaels, “Mr. WrestleMania,” tries to end Undertaker’s undefeated streak in a battle of two of the biggest WWE attractions of all time. Chris Jericho takes on blasts from the past when he faces Roddy Piper, Jimmy Snuka and Ricky Steamboat, with Ric Flair in their corner. All this and more, including the 2009 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, available on DVD and Blu-Ray.

The Katz Files – Arnie Katz
My Weekly RAW (6/1) Notebook
The Kingfish Arnie Katz highlights the major developments and discusses what they mean.

A Note from the Kingfish
Trying new things is part of the fun of doing a column like that. As an experiment, I am overhauling the format of the Notebooks to highlight the key points instead of embedding them in a recap.

There are lots of recaps, so no one who wants one will go without,. On the other hand, there’s very little intelligent analysis; that’s the aspect I’ll stress in the Notebook series.

Batista versus Orton
The RAW books have pulled off a pretty neat trick. They have extracted the McMahon family, including Triple H, from the feud with Randy Orton and replaced them with the brand’s current lead babyface, Dave Batista. With Triple H on the sidelines and none of the other McMahons qualified to work a main event against The Animal, the switch to Batista was a card-saving masterstroke.
