Paddy Power are taking bets on Over the limit, here's my guide to the betting.
Disclaimer: For entertainment purposes only, I lost due to betting on Lesnar last month, I can take no responsibly on your inevitable loss and subsequent selling of your family home.
Betting on wrestling still seems strange, I'm not even sure it's a good idea due to the high number of swerves and unclean finishes. I can almost guarantee that this PPV will have at least one match decided by a run-in.
All odds from Wednesday morning, they will change
World Heavyweight championship
Sheamus 5/4
Alberto Del Rio 11/5
Randy Orton 10/3
Chris Jericho 7/2
Verdict - Sheamus seems favourite and for good reason, however his latest title run has been far from spectacular so I'd place a small wager on Orton.
Pre-Show
Zack Ryder 11/4
Kane 2/9
Verdict: I wouldn't bother betting on this one, however as this is on youtube there is some value to be had with Ryder as WWE may want a face to win.
Cena vs Johnny
John Cena 5/6
John Laurinaitis 5/6
Verdict - People power!
Put big money on big Johnny as it seems likely that Big Show will interfere on his behalf. There's even a chance Brock will attack Cena. Even Cena will struggle to overcome these odds.
Tag Team Championship
Kofi Kingston & R-Truth 4/9
Jack Swagger & Dolph Ziggler 13/8
Verdict - Kofi and Truth seem a safe bet at first glance but Mason Ryan has been acting as Ziggler's bodyguard at house shows.
As Abe has be trying to sign Ryan it would be an interesting swerve if Vickie signs him first.
WWE Championship
CM Punk 4/7
Daniel Bryan5/4
Verdict - Once again there's an x-factor, this time in the appealing form of AJ. She's clearly crazy and is likely to get involved but the question is who would she try and help?
I wouldn't bet on Punk but Bryan would be a good outside bet.
Divas Championship
Layla 5/6
Beth Phoenix 5/6
Verdict - No idea, Layla is just back though so I'd go for her
Conclusion - I'd forget the other matches and just back Laurinaitis.
However Orton, Ryder and Bryan are good outside bets.

Worst Wrestling Shirts Ever?
There's yet another unofficial t-shirt store opened (that
redbubble one is still the best) that has started selling what they think are
the worst wrestling shirts ever.
Personally I think they are being a little hard on themselves,
sure the Sheamus "18 seconds one" is awful and nobody wants a
"Bork Lesnar" shirt but I actually like the Chris Jericho inspired
"Armbar!" & Ask Him!" shirts, the green mist one is cool and even "Rice
Flair" isn't too bad.
The thing is they have an excuse, I'm guessing it's one geek in
their bedroom trying to earn some extra cash but WWE are wrestling empire with
a huge department dedicated to making and producing merchandise but still these
managed to get through Focus Groups.
You can almost
imagine Vince McMahon stating that he loves Ass related t-shirts, how else
would you explain these:
Poor WWE thought they'd make a fortune from HLA, they didn't
At least they had
the good sense to pull the true Sin Cara penis shirt before it went on sale, that really was the worst wrestling shirt ever.
Finally...The Rock had a terrible shirt
