No Way Out 2003

The Rock owes Hulk Hogan one, and I highly doubt Hogan can retire at WrestleMania having lost two big matches to Rock. Hogan will win, then try to shake hands like last year, but Rock and McMahon will kick his ass. This heel turn would be good if it wasn't a waste, since Rock is a short-term plan. He'll be gone the day after WrestleMania XIX. What a waste of what could have been a good heel turn.

There is no way Scott Steiner can take the belt from Triple H. Not based on talent, based on pull. Triple H, so long as he screws Stephanie McMahon, gets what he wants. It'd be nice if Steve Austin's return changed things for the better, but until Vince McMahon saves his company, expect Triple H to plow through the competition, much like he will with Steiner at No Way Out. Prediction: Pinfall victory to get away from yet another match between the two men who have become to least talented athletes (not entertainers) in the business.

Steve Austin is going to kick Eric Bischoff's ass, plain and simple. I think it would be neat if Austin "no-showed" and Bischoff started harassing JR, then Austin came out and beat the living hell out of him. Bischoff will try to leave once or twice, but doesn't stand a chance once Austin brings him back to the ring.

Rhyno or Edge, doesn't matter. Team Angle will sneak by the babyfaces in what I expect to be a good match with many techincal based highlights. Kurt Angle will get the last laugh on Brock Lesnar, who may be distracted with Paul Heyman.

This match is going nowhere fast. Expect to see Nathan Jones go after "the biggest dog in the yard" either during or after the match. I imagine he'll align himself with Paul Heyman.

I like Billy Kidman, but Matt Hardy needs something to do and the Cruiserweight Title needs him. Hardy will win and act as if he just pinned Andre The Giant.

"Superstar" teams like Rob Van Dam and Kane are good on television, but they end up breaking up or just going solo. Lance Storm and William Regal will win this one, setting up their match with The Dudley Boyz at WrestleMania.

This will be as good as it was on RAW. Chris Jericho is climbing the ladder and should be the one to fight with Shawn Michaels in what will be Michaels' apparent last match or atleast last WrestleMania match. Jeff Hardy did not deserve this spot, but throwing Jericho off the card would have been worse. REAL smart though kicking out Test, what with his amazing control of a blizzard in order to stay in Baltimore. It would have been smarter to keep that match and have Test lose cleanly.
