WrestleZone’s Pay-Per View Predictions: WWE Elimination Chamber

February 23, 2014

Darren Young vs. Titus O’Neil

Killam on what should happen: Anything but a complete and utter squash is fine. One guy gets to win, and the other must lose, unless they plan on giving this feud the proper time and dedication it takes to get deeply personal and worthwhile. What “should” happen is they brawl to a no contest, and spend the next month trying to beat the holy hell out of each other. When was the last time a tag team got the proper blow off it deserved? It won’t happen. There can’t be a Prime Time Player, Real American, Shield and Brothers Rhodes split in the same few months. There’s not enough creative power in WWE to make the stories unique and interesting.

Killam on what will happen: Titus O’Neil wins. Or Darren pulls off an upset victory, they make a big deal about it, and Titus gets his steam back on Raw where they can spend more time giving him promo time. I’d say there’s a 50/50 shot of either of those scenarios.

Isenberg on what should happen: A complete squash is EXACTLY what needs to happen. Titus has money written all over him, if they want him to. With his size, collegiate background and improved personality, Titus needs to beat down his former partner in less than five minutes. How does it look for a guy who is close to 300 pound lose to a guy who is 50 pounds less and with a generic look to him?

Isenberg on what will happen: I can see what should and what would happen actually…happen. Titus picks up a win in under five minutes and moves onto bigger and better things. If Prime Time Players were former champions and built correctly in the tag team division, I would want to see their split more dramatic. They were not as important as people thought they were, which is why this match takes place randomly on a February Pay-Per View.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.

Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.

Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.

His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
