Metal, could you give me odds on a) Sheamus winning the title, and b) Rey Mysterio NOT winning?

Sure thing. Sorry it's late. I had PC trouble the past few days, and the wife's been in hospital.
Here's the odds...
Sheamus winning the title. The odds prtetty stacked against The Celtic Warrior in this star-studded match, with Orton, Edge and Cena involved. I'm gonna give odds of 9/1 on Sheamus winning.
Rey Mysterio not winning the title. Coversely, I would put Rey as the favourite for this match. Although Big Show is on fire at the moment, and Swagger seemingly delivering all he promises, I think they will cancel each other out, and leave the contest to be decided between Rey and Punk, with Rey emerging victorious. For that reason, I'll give odds of 9/1 again that Rey does not come out of this the winner.
For those who are interested, here are other odds...
WHC title match: Swagger to retain - 6/1 Big Show to win - 7/1 Punk to win - 10/1 Rey to win - 4/1
WWE Title match: Cena to retain - 6/1 Orton to win - 4/1 Edge to win - 7/1
US Title Match: R-Truth to retain - 6/1 The Miz to win - 3/1

I'm gonna bet 5000 bucks that Rey wins, and a further 5 large on Punk winning. Also, 2 grand says Orton wins, and another 10 G's that The Miz makes a liar out of R-Truth, and wins the US title.

I would like to bet 100,000 on Sheamus winning and 300,000 on Rey losing. I know it might be late, but I have just got in from work (the show started 15 minutes ago)

Fucking HELL Andy, have you got inside info or something? That's some serious outlay. Did you get a red hot tip? I know I did, watching Alicia strutting down the ramp lol. Oh, and she just won.
I forgot about the Divas match.
Also, why weren't the IC and tag title matches billed?

The IC match was billed, I don't remember there being a tag match on the card but there has been a bunch of attacks between the two teams. My tip was the reverse momentum rule: whoever has the least momentum in feuds going into a ppv usually wins the match. Swagger got pinned by Bourne a couple weeks ago and I can't see anything being less a momentum builder, and Rey got the pinfall on Smackdown. My tip seems to suck.

by the way, were the fans chanting "Miz is awesome" of "Miz is aweful"? I hope it was the former...

Your tip did indeed suck. You just blew almost 75% of your fortune. Lol, I just saw the vignette for the US title match, and I forgot The Miz won it back last Monday on Raw! I think The Miz will retain. Also, I don't recall Y2J vs Bourne being mentioned in the run up. What a win for the AJ-lite

man, R-Truth had the worst no sell I have ever seen. With his "injured ribs" placed in that modified bow and arrow, there were no faces of anguish or screams of pain. I feel like I will have blown 98% of my load at the end of this; I can't help feel like the whole show is being set up to prove Cena can overcome any odds. That, or Shemus will pin Cena after the latter gets attacked by NXT. EDIT: Following Edge's promo, i think he will be mastermind behind NXT EDIT: wow, is there a worse inring performer than R-Truth? not only did he have that terrible no-sell moment mentioned above that would rival a certain pirate no-sell in a certain now-dead efed, Rtruth left Miz hanging awkwardly from the ropes for a good 5-7 seconds while Miz waited for Truth to hit a modified, "opportunistic" scissor kick. Reminded me of Rico and Jeff Hardy.

so turns out my tip was right in Sheamus's case. I had meant Sheamus got pinned by Bourne a few weeks ago, not Swagger.
