Calling all WWE fans -- Papa, Sparky, where are you guys?
Here's the current lines with my thoughts:
Big Show -490 Sheamus +330
Kofi Kingston +250 Wade Barrett -350
Dolph Ziggler -420 John Cena +300
Team Hell No/Ryback +250 The Shield -350
Antonio Cesaro -1200 R-Truth +600
First thoughts:
Cesaro is a lock at -1200, put him in any parlays you can. I think there might be value too with Cena as a big dog if the reports that WWE may be looking to do Rock/Cena 2 for the title at Wrestlemania, one way to make that happen is by having Cena win Ziggler's briefcase (or have Rock beat Punk, but I wouldn't choose that as my way to get there personally -- save Punk for Taker in a title v. streak match, which would do huge money). Also, could we see this match end in a DQ victory for Cena if AJ turns on him and joins Ziggler. I can see her distracting Cena and then slapping him and getting Ziggler DQ'd, which would allow him to keep the briefcase?
Probably some value right now with Kofi at +250, that match is a coin flip in my mind in terms of who WWE would book to win that.
Ryback and Hell No at +250 -- I expect the match ends by Punk interfering and attacking Ryback, which would likely cause a DQ and result in a victory for Ryback/Hell No. The Shield losing by DQ wouldn't hurt them -- but didn't the match have some stipulation that it can ONLY end in pinfall or submission? That sets up for hijinks in my mind and likely ends with a Shield member sliding in to pin Ryback after he is blindsided and attacked by Punk.
Remember from past WWE events -- the heavy favorites are hitting at a HUGE percentage. I can only remember a few dogs winning straight up (Edge over Jericho a few years ago at Mania as well as Miz over Cena, and we remember all the drama that caused).

Since I do believe Dolph will cash in and become World Champion at TLC, I think Sheamus will end up winning the match and then get attacked by Show, allowing Dolph to cash in. Dolph wins the title, and there's a triple threat at the Rumble.

I think Wade Barrett has tremendous value if you parlay him with an NFL game or what not. He's been getting pushed huge since he came back after he was knocked out of WM last year. He should be closer to -550.

I will be there as well. It is definitely worth going and tickets are not very expensive.
The Shield is the new faction with 3 guys from the Developmental Part of WWE. 2 of them were on NXT. Dean Ambrose (Some of the best promos you will ever see), Seth Rollins (ROH and Indy Legend as Tyler Black, used to have epic matches with Punk and what not), and Roman Reings, a 6'3 265 monster, related to the Rock, Rikishi, Yokozuna, Umaga. They are going to be awesome in WWE.

Sheamus +300 (1 to win 3 Units) I think 3/1 is a nice price on a Sheamus win followed by Dolph cash in. With Punk not able to go in Brooklyn, they need something big to happen at the first PPV at Barclays Arena. Smackdown results had Show bringing out a beat up Regal while Sheamus watched Show hit Regal with a chair. This match is going to get ugly. R-Truth +600 (.2 to win 1.2 Units) R-Truth had a nice win against Barrett the other day with a roll up. I don't really think this will happen, but I wouldn't be totally shocked if it did or if Cesaro was DQ'd. Parlay: Wade Barrett -350, Dolph Ziggler -420, The Shield -350 (1 to win 1.05 Units) -Barrett should beat Kofi for the belt. They are building him up huge. Adding to the fact that Kofi gave him Trouble in Paradise to end their Smackdown segment is a good sign for the title change. -I cannot see how Dolph loses this match. I just can't. -Don't see a point to booking the Shield to lose their first match in the WWE, in the main event. Seems like they have to win this.
