Prediction? Pain!
I'll put a disclaimer right up front: if you don't give a crap about pro wrestling, you can skip today's post.
If you're still reading, you no doubt know that this Sunday is WWE Bad Blood on Pay-Per-View. I've decided that I'll be running my predictions for each PPV right here, mostly because I'm lazy and it's an easy way to post an update. So here it is:
HELL IN A CELL- Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H. This has been going on for a while now, so I think HBK will get the win to blow off the feud. Plus, rumor has it that HHH is taking some time off to film a movie so he'll probably take the fall.
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP- Chris Benoit vs. Kane. I'm still scratching my head as to why Kane has a title shot, or better yet, why the world championship is not the main event. It's like they booked a title match that nobody would care about so that HBK and HHH could headline again. Kane isn't championship material, so Benoit will keep his belt. Hopefully after this fiasco is over, they'll get Kane started in his feud with Matt Hardy and find Benoit a real challenger.
INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP- Randy Orton vs. Shelton Benjamin. Benjamin has a bright future in the business, but it's not his time yet. Orton, meanwhile, has had most of the best matches on RAW for the past few months, and has been a great IC champ: cocky, arrogant, and entertaining. Orton wins.
CHRIS JERICHO vs. TYSON TOMKO- Jericho is one of the all-time greats. Tomko hasn't wrestled in a match yet, but looks like a musclehead with lots of size but not much talent. I could be wrong, though, so we'll see. Working with Jericho at least means the match won't be bad. Look for Trish to get involved but cost Tomko the match by accident.
WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP- Victoria vs. Gail Kim vs. Trish Stratus vs. Lita. Umm, I guess Victoria will keep the belt. To tell you the truth, I had to check the WWE website to see who the champ even was.
TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP- La Resistance vs. Chris Benoit & Edge. Benoit does double duty, mostly just so they could get Edge a match on the card. The fake Frenchmen will win, just because Benoit and Edge as champs doesn't make sense, with Benoit already holding another belt.
EUGENE vs. JONATHAN COACHMAN- Here's a list of WWE superstars who won't be wrestling Sunday night so we can see a retard fight an announcer: Matt Hardy, Tajiri, Rhyno, The Hurricane, Rosey, Garrison Cade, Val Venis, A-Train, Maven, Tommy Dreamer, and Chuck Palumbo. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know Eugene is hugely popular right now, but I'm still not convinced of the long-term viability of his character. Look for Eugene to be jobbing on Sunday Night Heat within 3 months. In the meantime, Eugene wins.
See you on Sunday.

I agree FULLY with your take on the Eugene vs. Coachman match. It reminds me of somthing you would see on a late 1990's WCW pay-per-view.
BTW, love the Clubber Lang reference in the title.

Sadly, it was done on 1990s WCW, Sweetie. David Sullivan wrestled as Evad, and played a part very similar to Eugene.
Not bad on the predictions, Strutter. Although, with Eugene facing off against HHH next Monday, he might show up on Heat a lot sooner than expected. Who knows? Maybe HHH will pedigree Eugene so hard he's not retarted anymore. That might be an interesting angle.
