Wrestling Predictions for 2009


Here are my predictions for the wrestling world in the upcoming year:

- Kurt Angle will return to WWE, but on a reduced schedule. He will put over Triple H within a month of his arrival.

- Christian Cage will also return to WWE and will surprise some people by having a solid main event run and even winning the Smackdown world title.

- TNA will finally come to its senses, change its name to "Impact Championship Wrestling", ending years of humiliation for its fanbase from having to say "TNA" in public

- Impact Championship Wrestling will finally come to its senses, gut the "creative" team and hire Gabe Sapolsky

- Gail Kim will re-emege on Raw, get pushed to the moon and become it's greatest rating draw, before eventually putting over Triple H at Backlash.

- There will be at least one edition of Impact with eight confusing or forgettable angles, six minutes total of wrestling, and the phrase "to the back" will be repeated 23 times. The show will pull a 1.0 rating.

- Ric Flair's reality show will debut on VH-1 and set ratings records for the network. The spin-off show, "Flair of Love" with Flair wearing a viking helmet and a large clock around his neck, will debut in September.

- St. Louis' own Randy Orton will hold the Raw World title for the majority of the year

- The Beautiful People will continue to reign supreme and will even beat Beer Money for the Impact Championship Wrestling tag team titles

- Maryse will come back from her knee injury to retain the WWE Divas title all year until eventually losing it to Triple H in a Hell in the Cell match in December.
