Listen up!

Class is in session.

Time to make you submit, and read this dang column yet again. The subject this time around? WWE's "Breaking Point" pay-per-view, in which most of the matches were of the submission variety. So what happened Sunday? Well...

Submissions Count Anywhere Match: Shawn Michaels and Triple H vs. Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes
What Should Happen: WWE is teasing that Legacy will win this one over DX, but I'm not that gullible. Sure, that would be the wise move -- but it just isn't happening.

What Will Happen: This is the lock of the night, kids. DX will win.

What Did Happen: What do you know? WWE finally elevates someone new, as Legacy wins when Michaels taps out.

Question To Ponder: Is DX truly fun to watch anymore, or is their goofy gimmick stuck in the '90s?

Singapore Cane Match: Kane vs. The Great Khali
What Should Happen: This monster mash will involve the dreaded Singapore Cane. If Khali was smart, he'd just force Kane to watch his own movie, "Eyes." That'll make anyone beg for mercy. Of course, Kane could counter with Khali's role in "Get Smart."

What Will Happen: Khali hasn't won a big one in a while. I see him victorious here.

What Did Happen: Kane prevails the caning.

Question To Ponder: Would you rather see this match get more time than Christian vs. Regal?

ECW Championship Match: Christian (c) vs. William Regal
What Should Happen: This is a return bout from "SummerSlam," and I am fairly certain that Regal should make a good showing here. Should he win? Not yet. It's too soon for that. But an epic battle here would be a nice change of pace on a WWE PPV.

What Will Happen: Christian wins, but it'll be a bit tougher than last time.

What Did Happen: Christian got the win.

Question To Ponder: What are the chances WWE will give this more than 5 minutes?

WWE Unified Tag Team Championship Match: The Big Show and Chris Jericho (c) vs. Mark Henry and MVP
What Should Happen: It's a babyface big guy/little guy team versus a heel team of the same variety. Am I interested? As long as Henry and Show stay out of the ring, I am. As for the winner, let the heels reign for a bit longer -- but I don't mind MVP and Henry winning it down the line.

What Will Happen: Jericho and Show will retain.

What Did Happen: Y2K and his portly partner were the winners.

Question To Ponder: Isn't MVP and Henry a vast improvement (as opponents) over Cryme Tyme?

World Heavyweight Championship Submission Match: C.M. Punk (c) vs. The Undertaker
What Should Happen: Thrilled to see the big man return? Who isn't? But he will not and should not win this match. Punk has done too good of a job creating his smarmy heel character, and should retain his belt.

What Will Happen: Punk wins.

What Did Happen: This was a mess, but in the end -- Punk won to retain his belt.

Question To Ponder: Is UT truly the best WWE has right now for babyface challengers to Punk?

WWE Championship 'I Quit' Match: Randy Orton (c) vs. John Cena
What Should Happen: The first performer to utter the fateful words, "I quit!" loses the match. Here, neither man should break. I would have them both pass out at the same time. Orton keeps his belt, Cena doesn't look weak.

What Will Happen: I have a strange feeling this one will end up as a draw. That's a bold prediction, but consider the source.

What Did Happen: Cena won my making Orton scream the magic words.

Question To Ponder: Is there money is an Orton vs. Shawn Michaels match?

That'll do it. For the night, I batted .500. Anyone doing that in the major leagues? Besides Joe Mauer? Didn't think so. I. Am. The. Greatest.

That's it!!

Class is -- dismissed!!!
