Listen up!

Class is in session.

"Armageddon" is history. WWE's latest pay-per-view is in the books. Was it a December show to remember? Judge for yourself, as I tell you what "should" happen, what "will" happen and then what "did" happen:

Belfast Brawl Match: Mark Henry vs. Finlay
What Should Happen: This is one of those David vs. Goliath things, with Henry playing his usual part of the angry giant. Finlay should win here, with his "son" Hornswoggle interefering and somehow outsmarting Henry's manager, Tony Atlas. I'm not so sure Finlay is enjoying his time with the lumbering Henry.

What Will Happen: Finlay will get the pin.

What Did Happen: Finlay was the victor.

Challenge Match: Matt Hardy vs. Vladimir Kozlov
What Should Happen: Hardy, the ECW champ, tries to become the first man to pin the Russian machine. It's a non-title match, which means Hardy has no shot of winning. I see a lot of two-counts in this one before it's all over.

What Will Happen: This is the no-brainer of the night. Kozlov wil win.

What Did Happen: Kozlov took it, pinning Hardy.

Podcast : 'Old School, New School' -- Episode 95

WWE Intercontinental Tournament Finals Match: C.M. Punk vs. Rey Mysterio
What Should Happen: The winner takes on current IC champ, William Regal. This is a fine matchup, as Mysterio is always better when he works with someone who can actually wrestle. (Sorry, Kane.) While either man would be a worthy title holder, I'd have Mysterio advance.

What Will Happen: I'm picking Mysterio.

What Did Happen: I should have picked Punk, who pinned Rey.

Challenge Match: Randy Orton vs. Batista
What Should Happen: It's the first one-on-one PPV meeting between these two, who have been at each other's throats since their Evolution days. It's too bad a heavyweight title isn't on the line, but you can't have everything. I'm guessing this will be highly entertaining, as Batista has improved in the ring the past year or so. I think Orton should win, to extend Batista's recent losing streak.

What Will Happen: Orton will get the pin.

What Did Happen: Batista won this opening round, pinning Orton.

WWE Championship Match: Edge (c) vs. Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy
What Should Happen: Again, I'd like to see what this Hardy boy (man) could do with the heavyweight title, but you get the feeling it'll never happen. I'm not sure why, because he seems every bit as popular as John Cena. Maybe he doesn't take enough steroids. If I were writing things, a peeved Vladimir Kozlov, pouting because he was left out, would interfere in this one and cost Edge the title --with Hardy winning.

What Will Happen: Edge will keep his title with a bit of Edge-like chicanery.

What Did Happen: Thanks for listening to me Vince. Hardy won, capturing his first WWE title. It's about time!

World Heavyweight Championship Match: John Cena (c) vs. Chris Jericho
What Should Happen: Cena took the belt off of Jericho in the last PPV. I think Jericho should return the favor this time around. Jericho as the chicken heel champion is much more entertaining than the babyface Cena.

What Will Happen: WWE loves Cena, and believes he's a money draw. He'll keep his belt, despite Jericho being the superior performer.

What Did Happen: Cena won, forcing Jericho to tap out.

That'll do it. For the record, I had three matches right tonight out of six. I would have gladly gotten them all wrong if it meant Jeff Hardy getting a title run. That was nice to see.
