Post your predictions for the big one.
WWE Championship: Randy Orton (c) vs. Triple H vs. John Cena
A toss up between Cena and Triple H - though Trips hasn't held the belt for any substantial amount of time in years, and his recent WM record is dismal (he missed last year through injury, tapped out to Cena in 06, got pinned clean by Batista in 05 and tapped out to Benoit in 04!) - he must be due a win so I'd pick
Hunter for the gold.
World Championship: Edge (c) vs. The Undertaker
As I recall the plan for last year was for Taker to win at Mania and keep hold of the belt for a last long run with it before he retires (next year allegedly). Though that went to fuck when he knackered his arm almost immediately after winning the belt so I think they'll do the same for him this year. He's going to keep that undefeated streak as it's a selling point every year - can someone end Takers streak? - and they make money off it every year. They'd be crazy to end it.
Taker all the way.
MITB ladder match: Mr. Kennedy vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Chris Jericho vs. Carlito vs. Montel Vontavious Porter vs. CM Punk vs. John Morrison
I think surely Jeff was the favourite to win this but now he's out it's thrown a cat among the pigeons. Well, Shelton, Carlito, MVP, Punk and Morrison are nowhere near the heavyweight championship picture (unless they challenge for the ECW belt), so it's got to be between Kennedy and Jericho. Y2J had a contender run earlier in the year and the fans didn't really buy into it, Kennedy was due a run last year before he got injured and lost the breifcase to Edge. For this reason I'm picking
Kennedy again (unless they let Punk or Morrison challenge for the ECW belt)
Floyd Mayweather, Jr. vs. The Big Show
Aye right, like
Mayweather is going to come in on a big payday and lose a fake, scripted match. Pfft!
Umaga vs. Batista
Umaga been on a bit of a losing streak lately, I think
Batista will take this one.
Career threatening match - Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels
There's been so much hype over Flair recently it's pretty obvious he's retiring.
Shawnto win.
Playboy BunnyMania Lumberjack match: Maria and Ashley vs. Beth Phoenix and Melina
Who cares? As long as
Melina is wearing something slutty.
Belfast Brawl: Finlay vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield
I think
JBL, simply because they seem to have plans for his character, but they've never really done anything with Finlay (possibly due to his age)
24-man Battle RoyalParticipants are: Elijah Burke, Lance Cade, Deuce, Domino, Tommy Dreamer, Jim Duggan, Festus, The Great Khali, Mark Henry, Hardcore Holly, Jesse, Kane, Brian Kendrick, Kofi Kingston, The Miz, Shannon Moore, Trevor Murdoch, Jamie Noble, Chuck Palumbo, Cody Rhodes, Snitsky, Matt Striker, Val Venis and Jimmy Wang Yang. The winner will face Chavo Guerrero for the ECW Championship at WrestleMania.
Wow there's a lot of shite in that ring. My heart says Kane to win cos they never do anything with him and I think he's brilliant, but my head says they'll give it to some immobile useless lummox, ie
Khali or Mark Henry.
ECW Championship: Chavo Guerrero (c) vs. TBD
Chavo will lose to
one of the lummoxes.
Wrestling is great
