Wrestlemania Predictions

Fozzy

All the matches are set, so how about some predictions?

24 Man Battle Royal for an ECW Title Shot -
This is taking place before the PPV, live on WWE.com. The participants are: Snitsky, Brian Kendrick, Chuck Palumbo, Cody Rhodes, Deuce, Domino, Elijah Burke, Festus, Jim Duggan, Bob Holly, Jamie Noble, Jesse, Jimmy Wang Yang, Kane, Kofi Kingston, Lance Cade, Mark Henry, Matt Striker, Shannon Moore, Great Khali, The Miz, Tommy Dreamer, Trevor Murdoch and Val Venis

The only one of those guys that I think WWE really want to get on the PPV is Khali, so he's my pick. They could go for a more logical pick like Kofi, Dreamer or Kane though


ECW Title match - Chavo Guerrero vs Winner of Battle Royal
I think there'll be a new champ


Bunnymania - Maria & Ashley vs Beth Phoenix & Melina
I think the other women will be surrounding the ring. Snoop Dogg's doing something here too

They've got to have the Santino and Snoop Dogg interaction somewhere, with Maria getting the last laugh probably. I guess Beth & Melina will win the match though. As long as Santino is involved in some way this won't be a complete failure


Belfast Brawl - Finlay vs JBL
I suppose this is a street fight. Hornswoggle will probably return here. I think who wins depends on whether the feud will continue or not. I think it will, so I'm going with JBL. Should be a decent match too


Smackdown vs Raw - Batista vs Umaga
I think this'll be good too. Batista needs the win more so he's my pick


Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Chris Jericho vs MVP vs Shelton Benjamin vs CM Punk vs John Morrison vs Mr Kennedy vs Carlito
It went from being easy to pick to being hard. I still think that Matt Hardy could return here, but I don't think that he'll win, more than likely just prevent MVP from doing so. Although having said that, I think this match is between Jericho and MVP. I'll go with Jericho


Big Show vs Floyd Mayweather
Depending on whether Floyd remembers what to do or not, this will either be good or bad. I think Mayweather will pick up the win somehow, I can't really see him losing. Big Show will probably destroy his posse afterwards


World Heavyweight Championship - Edge vs Undertaker
Hmm...a year ago I'd be very excited for this match. But Edge doesn't look as good to me as he did a year ago. I'm sure that the ending will still be exciting, as Undertaker now has four finishing moves and Edge has got two. A spear into that stupid gogoplata maybe...

Considering how Edge has been recently, I don't think he's got any chance of winning here. I'd bet my house on Undertaker winning


WWE Title - Randy Orton vs HHH vs John Cena
Should be a decent enough match, it has the potential to be great. All three guys are over and they're all capable of great matches. Build-up hasn't been the best though. HHH came off looking like a bigger heel than Orton I thought

My first choice for the outcome would be Orton retaining. I think he's done a great job with the title. Second choice would be Cena winning, but I think my third choice will be the outcome. It's been about four years since HHH had a proper title run, I'm shocked that he stayed away for that long. I don't know if he has long left at the top either, so he probably will get the win here


The Real Main Event! - Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels
I'm really looking forward to this. I think the last time I was looking forward to a Wrestlemania match as much was either Angle vs Lesnar or Angle vs Michaels. They showed on Raw that they do care about Flair so I've got more faith in this match now

There's a dozen different things that could happen here. I think that the most basic one will happen though, and that's Flair getting pinned after the Sweet Chin Music. I wonder if they'll have some sort of Figure Four vs Reverse Figure Four spot in the match...I'm not sure how that would work though

The match should be good and Wrestlemania will be worth it for me just to see this match


That's all the matches as far as I know

redmosquito

24 Man Battle Royal for an ECW Title Shot -
Ill go with Khali unfortunately.

ECW Title match - Chavo Guerrero vs Winner of Battle Royal
Khali

Bunnymania - Maria & Ashley vs Beth Phoenix & Melina
Maria and Ashley, with some comic moments thanks to santino and snoop!

Belfast Brawl - Finlay vs JBL
Ill go with Finlay

Smackdown vs Raw - Batista vs Umaga
I wish Umaga, but head says Batista

Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Chris Jericho vs MVP vs Shelton Benjamin vs CM Punk vs John Morrison vs Mr Kennedy vs Carlito
Hardy had this won till he screwed up, im hoping Carlito but again head says Jericho or Kennedy

Big Show vs Floyd Mayweather
Mayweather, only because he's the kind of fella that would never agree to lose. This could make Show look mega mega weak


World Heavyweight Championship - Edge vs Undertaker
Hopefully Undertaker

WWE Title - Randy Orton vs HHH vs John Cena
Triple H

The Real Main Event! - Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels
HBK

ShaneU

24 Man Battle Royal for an ECW Title Shot -
I'll go with Khali or Elijah Burke


ECW Title match - Chavo Guerrero vs Winner of Battle Royal

Bunnymania - Maria & Ashley vs Beth Phoenix & Melina

Snoop dogg will help the playboy girls win.

Belfast Brawl - Finlay vs JBL

JBL


Smackdown vs Raw - Batista vs Umaga

Yeah Batista will win.


Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Chris Jericho vs MVP vs Shelton Benjamin vs CM Punk vs John Morrison vs Mr Kennedy vs Carlito

I'm going with CM punk, he'll be on RAW before long.


Big Show vs Floyd Mayweather

There's no way they'll have a clean victory in this, expect some sort of bullsh1t ending, most likely inteference from Floyd's gang.

World Heavyweight Championship - Edge vs Undertaker

Taker losing at Mania? don't be ridiculous.


WWE Title - Randy Orton vs HHH vs John Cena

Cena will win unfortunately, more $$$ for the "E"


The Real Main Event! - Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels

Expect a lot of indecision from Michaels in going for the pin at first, then flair will start to slap him around and play the heel, michaels hits the sweet chin music, 1,2,3, flair hugs him, michaels raises flairs hand, confetti falls on a fabulous career.

citytillidie

Smackdown vs Raw - Batista vs Umaga

Batista


Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Chris Jericho vs MVP vs Shelton Benjamin vs CM Punk vs John Morrison vs Mr Kennedy vs Carlito

I think Jericho might win this


Big Show vs Floyd Mayweather

Mayweather simply because there is no way he would allow himself to come in and get beat

World Heavyweight Championship - Edge vs Undertaker

Undertaker


WWE Title - Randy Orton vs HHH vs John Cena

HHH


The Real Main Event! - Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels

I have a feeling Flair might win this and then Flair can retire the next night on Raw on his own terms

kronsington

kennedy cashes in to be the one to retire flair instead of title shot

flair beats kennedy to win title shot (somehow)

flair cashes in that same night vs hhh for the belt and wins

Rjd2

24 Man Battle Royal for an ECW Title Shot
Lads Chavo is a heel so they won’t be doing a heel v heel title match so we can rule out Khali and Henry. IL go for Kane to win
ECW Title match - Chavo Guerrero vs Kane –
Chavo to win by DQ, Kane will win the belt in a few months sadly, oh well at least he wont be given a belt with any real meaning!
Bunnymania - Maria & Ashley vs Beth Phoenix & Melina-
Only point of match is for Santino. Otherwise Maria has being pushed quite a bit so I expect her to win.
Belfast Brawl - Finlay vs JBL
JBL by dq, could be a fun match as well.
Smackdown vs Raw - Batista vs Umaga
Umaga destroying Batista would be hilarious as big bad Dave is so ****ing awful in the ring. Sadly useless Dave will get the win and cleanly as well.
Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Chris Jericho vs MVP vs Shelton Benjamin vs CM Punk vs John Morrison vs Mr Kennedy vs Carlito
Shelton,Carlito and Morrison while good are not wining for sure. Punk only recently lost cleanly to Chavo so he is still not ready for a title shot and Kennedy has being getting no push at all recently so we can rule him out. I take Y2J to win with Matt screwing MVP.
Big Show vs Floyd Mayweather –
I hope Big Show will come out looking decent after this but sadly he’s going to lose, I can see Shane interfering on Floyds behalf for some reason as well.
World Heavyweight Championship - Edge vs Undertaker
I don’t really mind either winning. Edge winning would be a real mania talking point moment, however Taker has being class all year and he deserves another title run. Taker for the win.
WWE Title - Randy Orton vs HHH vs John Cena
Orton wining would be great but that wont happen so it’s a between Cena and HHH. Logic says HHH however next year Cena v Taker streak v streak mania 25 would be an absolute blockbuster. And trust me Vince has thought about this. IL go for Cena to win and no heel turn either.
The Real Main Event! - Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels –
HBK is going to have to do the most work to make this match watch able. Ric is past it in the ring, don’t believe me? Watch him against MVP and Kennedy and the matches were very mediocre. HBK will bust his ass to give Flair a fitting send of the least he deserves is the win. Sadly Ric will win though as that is what everybody wants!

Machismo Fan

24 Man Battle Royal for an ECW Title Shot

I'd say Val Venis. He deserves a push. He has been WWEs tester man for new talent on Heat for years and deserves a chance to show what he can do. He had a great match with King Booker on Raw during the beat the clock challenge(the one that Lashley won) and can put on a good match with anyone.

ECW Title match - Chavo Guerrero vs Winner of Battle Royal

Again Venis. They can give Val the spot they were going to give Benoit and he can help the good young talent on ECW.

Bunnymania - Maria & Ashley vs Beth Phoenix & Melina

I don't care. They could have had a good Triple Threat match between Candice, James and Phoenix but they decided to go with the rubbish known as Bunnymania.

Belfast Brawl - Finlay vs JBL

After all JBL has done to Hornswoggle and the very little that Finlay has done to JBL, I can't see JBL winning. Should be a very good brawl.

Smackdown vs Raw - Batista vs Umaga

Umaga has not one a big match in his career. HHH- Lost, Cena- Lost,Team Umaga(Survivor Series)- Lost and Lashley- Lost and if he is to enter into a feud with Undertaker, which apparently he is going to, he needs to beat Batista.

Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Chris Jericho vs MVP vs Shelton Benjamin vs CM Punk vs John Morrison vs Mr Kennedy vs Carlito

MVP will be screwed by a Matt Hardy run in and CM Punk will win to get jim off the ECW brand as soon as possible.

Big Show vs Floyd Mayweather

Neither man can credibly lose. If Big Show is hammered (Bart Gunn/ Butterbean style) that will make Big Show look bad and if Mayweather goes all the way with Big Show and beats him it will make Big Show out to be a bad wrestler and kill his comeback push. Mayweather will not lose though as he will not want his undefeated streak to end in a "fake" sport.

World Heavyweight Championship - Edge vs Undertaker

There is no doubt that Undertaker will go 16-0. Edge is a very good heel and deserves a really long title run but this is not that title run. It should be a great match but there is no chance in hell that Undertaker will lose.

WWE Title - Randy Orton vs HHH vs John Cena

If WWE really want to establish Orton as the top heel and start a really good legacy then he should win. Though, HHH has spent a long time off the top and Cena does draw. I say HHH but I think Orton deserves it more. Orton was one of only a small number of top stars that did not get injured last year and he carried the WWE for half of last year and deserves a major run.

The Real Main Event! - Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels

I'm going to say HBK. Flair can still wrestle, despite being 59, he can still go. He always pulls it out in the big matches. Undertaker, Edge, HHH, Foley and soon HBK. It will be a great match. The HOF will be a great moment. Though there could be two other finishes. HBK gets deliberately disqualified to keep Flairs career going and continue their feud onto Backlash or Flair could win and bow out on his own terms though that would be backtracking on his "I will never retire" promo.

Otis Driftwood

24 Man Battle Royal for an ECW Title Shot

Kane

ECW Title match - Chavo Guerrero vs Winner of Battle Royal

Kane.Been a mid carder for years and a solid worker.Cant see him ever holding a heavyweight belt again so it is a good opportunity to make him an ECW main-eventer

Bunnymania - Maria & Ashley vs Beth Phoenix & Melina

Who cares

Belfast Brawl - Finlay vs JBL

Finlay to win with help from Hornswoggle.Expecting a pretty stiff match here.

Smackdown vs Raw - Batista vs Umaga

Would think Batista.

Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Chris Jericho vs MVP vs Shelton Benjamin vs CM Punk vs John Morrison vs Mr Kennedy vs Carlito

Probably Y2J.He didnt come back to job at his first mania since his return.

Big Show vs Floyd Mayweather

Expecting a crappy finish to this one.Something like a double count out/DQ followed by a mass brawl.

World Heavyweight Championship - Edge vs Undertaker

Been thinking about this for a while and I have a niggly feeling Edge could sneak it.

WWE Title - Randy Orton vs HHH vs John Cena

Hopefully Orton but probably,sigh,Cena.

The Real Main Event! - Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels

Gotta go with HBK.I can see the usual happening,couple of near falls for Flair,HBK tapping to figure 4 while the ref is down,HBK eventualy getting the pinfall after Flair kicks out of the first sweet chin music--MY GOD KING,THE EMOTION,FLAIR JUST WILL NOT QUIT!!!

ec18

IMO whoever gets ahead on SD! this week between taker and edge will lose at WM....Heres hoping edge kills taker on Friday night

Handsome Bob

24 Man Battle Royal for an ECW Title Shot -
Surprise entrant I believe will be Matt Hardy and he will win.

ECW Title match - Chavo Guerrero vs Winner of Battle Royal
Matt Hardy


Bunnymania - Maria & Ashley vs Beth Phoenix & Melina
No interest but i'll go with Phoenix/ Melina


Belfast Brawl - Finlay vs JBL
JBL


Smackdown vs Raw - Batista vs Umaga
Batista

Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Chris Jericho vs MVP vs Shelton Benjamin vs CM Punk vs John Morrison vs Mr Kennedy vs Carlito
MVP all over it

Big Show vs Floyd Mayweather
Mayweather, and since my hobby is boxing I am betting Maymeather will land some killer body punches that will beat Show. I would to see show beat the **** out of him though.


World Heavyweight Championship - Edge vs Undertaker
Undertaker- his legacy is his streak and I don't see him losing it.

WWE Title - Randy Orton vs HHH vs John Cena
HHH

The Real Main Event! - Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels
Ric Flair and for him to retire on his own terms on same night or the next night on Raw

Matt Hardy

That would be pretty good actually.then have hardy vs mvp and unify the us title with the ecw. although if this didnt happen i still hope for mvp crawling up the ladder really cocky with everyone else down, outcomes hardy with a twist of fate on mvp off the ladder.

Ha ha it's a hard one to call ain't it! Initially I thought he was defo going to be in mitb. Some people suggested that it was gonna be MVP v Matt for the US title at WM but I was convinced MVP was going to be in MITB and it turned out I was right!

No sign of MH at the SD tapings so unless they just throw him in there as the surprise 8th entrant I can't see him in MITB. It would be kind of a sickner too for all those dudes who had to qualify!:D

I am a big fan of Matt Hardy. Always had faith in him to shine when the Hardys broke up and I loved the V1 gimmick, he really proved everyone wrong with it. So if he wins the ecw title it's not much but it's a start hopefully to greater things.

Kronsington, why would you want to put poor Naitch through 3 matches!? Poor guy is 60 you sicko!:p

Matt Fact From A Few WMs ago: "Matt often wonders how they did Wrestlemania without him".

I don't think he will compete but he will screw MVP.

MVP will win mitb, I am sure of it. I would love Kennedy to win and play out the scenario that he would challenge the winner of the TT straight after it but I am afraid he will just have to bide his time, he blew it when he got himself suspended and will have to build himself up again. The only other one I can see winning is Jericho to keep him happy.

Bubs101

24 Man Battle Royal for an ECW Title Shot -
I think the Miz has a decent chance of taking this but I'd say it will be Kane. He's one of their top owners and has been on ECW quite alot since the line was blurred


ECW Title match - Chavo Guerrero vs Winner of Battle Royal
I too think there'll be a new champion


Bunnymania - Maria & Ashley vs Beth Phoenix & Melina
meh

Belfast Brawl - Finlay vs JBL
I'd say JBL will win this due to the amount of face wins there'll be on the card but I really don't care


Smackdown vs Raw - Batista vs Umaga
Batista is a lock to win this


Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Chris Jericho vs MVP vs Shelton Benjamin vs CM Punk vs John Morrison vs Mr Kennedy vs Carlito
I think Kennedy might win this and cash it in on the night. Come out after one of the title matches and bring back the countdown that started last year and beat Edge

Big Show vs Floyd Mayweather
Mayweather


World Heavyweight Championship - Edge vs Undertaker
I think Taker will win this but I wouldn't be surprised if he won by DQ so they let Edge keep the belt. They'd get more mileage from the feud considering Batista Taker has been done to death if Taker took it at Backlash


WWE Title - Randy Orton vs HHH vs John Cena

Haven't been following the build up at all but I'd be surprised if a face didn't win the (fake??) main event so Cena to win. Personally, I think they should give it to Orton


The Real Main Event! - Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels
This should be worth watching even if Flair doesn't have it anymore. I do think Flair will win here and he'll do it by cheating some how. Maybe by holding onto the ropes with the figure-4 locked in. It'd be nice to see him return to the dirtiest player in the game

Now that would be interesting. It would be absolutely amazing if Kennedy won mitb and threw us a twist by challenging the SD title winner. Can you imagine the Undertaker winning the strap and then Kennedy cashes in and defeats the streak!:eek: That would be the biggest push ever. But it would only work if SD Title match is the ME, I doubt that.

Never going to happen, MITB is billed to be one of the most dangerous matches in WWE today. Imagine how silly it would look if a fresh Kennedy came out and challenged a champion? Besides if he does win, I could see him facing HHH and HHH squashig him in a minute. The ego maniac that is the Game must be itching to destroy another career:D
Also him coming out and facing SD champ? Seriously look at the names that Taker has defeated at WM? Do you seriously think Ken is anywhere near that level? Mark my words Taker v Cena wrestlemania 25 Streak v Streak!

But I don't think Taker will leave MAnia as champ and it would be very interesting to see kennedy use Edge's trick against him. Also, Smackdown needs him back and he needs Smackdown

Tricity Bendix

24 Man Battle Royal for an ECW Title Shot -
I can't believe Kane won't be involved in Wrestlemania, so he hets my pick. Kane is a bigger draw than anyone else in the match. Plus he's a face, and a former champion, which will lend an air of credibility to the title match.


ECW Title match - Chavo Guerrero vs Winner of Battle Royal
Chavo to win. He's been doing a good job, so I see no reason to put an end to it. If he's going to drop the title, at least let it be in a meaningful match.


Bunnymania - Maria & Ashley vs Beth Phoenix & Melina
Thanks be to God the WWE has an abundence of bunnies. Although ordinarily she would be no great loss, Candice Michelle's injury puts an end to any chance of wrestling in this match. Beth to destroy her opponents after Melina tries (and fails) to make the bunnies look like legit wrestlers.


Belfast Brawl - Finlay vs JBL
Every PPV should have a match like this one: two men going out and just slugging away. Let the grapplers throw every move in the book at each other, let the cruiserweights bounce around, and let two vets pound the snot out of each other. I don't care who wins so long as this one is 'bowling shoe ugly'.


Smackdown vs Raw - Batista vs Umaga
Unless Batista is in the dog house for some unknown reason he will get the win. Umaga is a jobber to the stars.


Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Chris Jericho vs MVP vs Shelton Benjamin vs CM Punk vs John Morrison vs Mr Kennedy vs Carlito
MVP to win. Although I'd love to see Carlito win it.


Big Show vs Floyd Mayweather
Christ let this be over quick.


World Heavyweight Championship - Edge vs Undertaker
Taker has been taking many a beating lately, so I'll go for the deadman. I'd love to see him tombstone Vicky at some point.



WWE Title - Randy Orton vs HHH vs John Cena
I don't like triple threats. Any match involving just two of the three men would be preferable. HHH to win.

The Real Main Event! - Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels
I want Flair to win so badly. He has been made look so weak. This run should have seen more legit victories, just so the fans would know that Flair still has it in him to be the man. Instead, the fans are hoping a tired, broken-down old man will somehow pull off an upset.

Machismo Fan

Perhaps Kennedy could insert himself in the Triple Threat if he wins or challenge Edge before he faces the Undertaker. Or he could make the SD main event a Triple Threat. Or perhaps were all over thinking this.

It's not about that, it's about being given a platform to get to that level. Everybody needs something to get over big time, what better way of ending the Undertaker's streak? It has always been the general feeling that if he was to lose his streak, it would only be to put someone hugely over. I am not suggesting it does happen, like I've said it is the Undertaker's legacy.

Also, it is a scenario that Kennedy himself mapped out. And who says he has to be freshed faced? After all, whoever the champion is would have just gone through a gruelling triple threat so they would be equally beat up.

This is all just hypothetical anyway, I don't even think he'll win mitb, MVP was my pick.

Minto

RAW/ECW/SmackDown! 24 Man Battle Royal for the right to face ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero

This one could go to anyone, Tommy Dreamer, The Great Khali, Mark Henry, Kane, it could even be Jamie Noble. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Dreamer is gonna win it and win the ECW title from Chavo.




"BunnyMania" Tag Team Match with Snoop Dogg as MC
Melina and "The Glamazon" Beth Phoenix Vs. Maria and Ashley

Defo gonna be some confrontation between Snoop and Santino. Should be a 'fun' match with Maria and Ashley winning.




"Belfast Brawl" Street Fight
Finlay Vs. John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL)

This will be a simple match - just two guys hitting each other as hard as the can. I'd assume Vince will stick his neck in here somewhere and interfere only to have Hornswoggle make his return and help his Dad, but I still see JBL going over here. Too many face wins on the PPV as it is, so I'm sure JBL is going over.




RAW Vs. SmackDown! Match
"The Samoan Bulldozer" Umaga Vs. Batista

This match is only an excuse to get 'Big Dave' on the card, it's a pity because Umaga deserves a win, here but the smart money is on Batista at 'Mania, but I think Umaga will go over in the feud if they continue it on SmackDown!




"Money in the Bank" Ladder Match were the winner gets a title shot to be 'cashed in' within one year.
Montel Vontavius Porter (MVP) Vs. "Y2J" Chris Jericho Vs. Carlito Vs. CM Punk Vs. John Morrisson Vs. Mr. Kennedy (....Kennedy) Vs. Shelton Benjamin

I can't pick a winner on this one, but with a shotgun to my head, I'll pick MVP or Jericho, obvious choices, but I think they are the save money (pun intended).




The Biggest Vs. The Best
Floyd "Money" Mayweather Vs. Big Show

David versus Goliath in 2008, who'd have thunk it? There is no way a celeb is gonna do the job at 'Mania, so Mayweather is gonna get the win.




World Heavyweight Championship Match
"The Rated R Superstar" Edge Vs. "The (Undefeated at WrestleMania) Phenom" The Undertaker

Both have never lost at WrestleMania (I'm counting last years MITB as a draw), both have valid reasons to go over, but 'Taker has a legacy at 'Mania, that legacy should never end, but if it is to end, Edge is the man to do so. I'm gonna go with The Undertaker to walk out of 'Mania as the new WHC!




Triple Threat Match for the WWE Heavyweight Championship
John Cena Vs. "The Legend Killer" Randy Orton Vs. "The Game" Triple H

Four years is to long for the King of Kings to be absent from his throne. Triple H to win by destroying Cena and 'injurying' him so he can film his new film and come back in time to main event SummerSlam. I kinda feel sorry for Orton, he hasn't been a great champion, but he has been far from horrible, I've enjoyed his reign, but come WrestleMania, The King of Kings MUST go back on his throne! **Does Triple H pose**




Career Threatening Match
"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels Vs. "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair

This match is gonna be emotional, it's gonna be fun and above all else, it's gonna be great. Ric Flair is a f*cking living legend! His performances over the past few months have been amazing. I've even started watching a lot of his old matches and promos. Anyway, I digress. I'm gonna go with my heart and say Ric Flair to win and retire on RAW on Monday night. This match is probably the most emotional WrestleMania match in a good few years.

Overall
This WrestleMania is kind of tainted since it'll be Flair's last match. It'll be the end of an era, a great era, but in a way I'm happy that he is leaving on his own terms and not in a coffin. I'm currently writing a piece on Ric Flair, I mite post it up here when it's done. This years WrestleMania is going to be so much better than last years.

Undertaker.


Triple Threat Match for the WWE Heavyweight Championship
John Cena Vs. "The Legend Killer" Randy Orton Vs. "The Game" Triple H

The build up has done nothing for me. My interest in the Raw title peaked 2 months early at the Royal Rumble. I'll go with Triple H to get the belt.


Career Threatening Match
"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels Vs. "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair

Shawn Michaels.

Overall

It's all about Flair.

RAW/ECW/SmackDown! 24 Man Battle Royal for the right to face ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero
The only face i can see winning this is Kane. However Chavo hasnt held the title that long so i can see him winning by DQ or CO

"BunnyMania" Tag Team Match with Snoop Dogg as MC
Melina and "The Glamazon" Beth Phoenix Vs. Maria and Ashley
The only thing to look forward to about this match will be Santino. Beth and Melina are way above the other 2 and should easily win

"Belfast Brawl" Street Fight Finlay Vs. John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL): Finlay to win with some involvement from the leprechaun himself.

RAW Vs. SmackDown! Match "The Samoan Bulldozer" Umaga Vs. Batista
Given that RAW is the main show for WWE and this is a battle for brand supremacy i think Umaga will win this one

"Money in the Bank" Ladder Match were the winner gets a title shot to be 'cashed in' within one year.Montel Vontavius Porter (MVP) Vs. "Y2J" Chris Jericho Vs. Carlito Vs. CM Punk Vs. John Morrisson Vs. Mr. Kennedy (....Kennedy) Vs. Shelton Benjamin
A lot of people say Kennedy but i cant really see him win it 2 years in a row. Of the others it seems to be Jericho or MVP. If punk was not on ECW he would have been a top choice. My head goes with MVP, needs a push.

The Biggest Vs. The Best Floyd "Money" Mayweather Vs. Big Show
To be honest i've hated the build up for this match and have to say cant see Floyd not winning it but it wont be clean, expect interference

World Heavyweight Championship Match"The Rated R Superstar" Edge Vs. "The (Undefeated at WrestleMania) Phenom" The Undertaker
I'm intrigued to know if they will let the Taker keep that record until he retires but i reckon he'll win here. Don't like the way Edge goes on about being undefeated at WM, he lost the MITB match last year.

Triple Threat Match for the WWE Heavyweight Championship
John Cena Vs. "The Legend Killer" Randy Orton Vs. "The Game" Triple H
I dont want to see Cena win the title back, he's held it for way too long in the last few years. Orton's been a good champ and a great heel but the build up to Triple H getting the belt back as being going on for a while so i expect him to win.

Career Threatening Match "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels Vs. "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair
HBK to win and get a good match out of Flair. Expect standing ovation for Naitch and we may even get a goodbye speech on RAW the following night

Double C

HHH vs Cena Vs Orton
Here's hoping Orton wins but there is zero chance of it happening. Its all about the game and the show will probably end with HHH with the belt raising his arms doing that stupid stretch flex thing. He'll probably try to outshine Flair too. This match better not be last.

Edge vs Undertaker
I've seen about 10 minutes of buildup for this so I don't really have any interest. Taker to win. One question though, whats wrong with the triangle choke? Takers new submission is awful.

Flair vs Michaels
The real main event alright. I agree with Lance Storm 100%. Flair to win.

Big Show vs Mayweather
I'm interested just to see how the match plays out. Hopefully Mayweather breaks Big Shows jaw legitimitely with a few stiff punches.

Finlay vs JBL
This is going to get ruined by horny but hopefully the first part of the match is as stiff and brutal as I imagine it to be. I can see horny turning heel on Finlay, but if that happens I won't get to see JBL giving horny a stiff running big boot, which would be the best thing ever.

Batista vs Umaga
This has got some potential. Probably wont steal the show but it will come close. It will be funny seeing Smackdown winning the battle of the brands while Raw still gets shown to be the better show.

Money in the Bank
Can't say I'm disappointed Jeff is gone, at least someone likeable will win this now. That being said, Kennedy could always **** up the apple cart. I cant pick between Punk, Jericho and MVP.

Bunny thing
Once its mainly Snoop against Santino in a slagging match it will be all good.

Battle Royal
Well I'd only love if they played off Kendrick walking out on London the other week and have one of them win. London I gues cos he's the face. But no, it will be Kane. One last run for the big man before he retires.

Ive said it all along, its not that bad a card. It really could do with MVP vs Matt Hardy in the middle as a technical~! match, much like Benoit vs MVP lsat year. That aside, it should be good, better than that piece of sh*t last year anyway.

24 Man Battle Royal for an ECW Title Shot -
I have a feeling that Khali will win. I'd like to see Kane pick up the victory. He needs a push


ECW Title match - Chavo Guerrero vs Winner of Battle Royal
Kane


Bunnymania - Maria & Ashley vs Beth Phoenix & Melina
Blah Don't care!! Would have prefered a triple threat between Beth, Candice and Mickie!! The quality of women's matches at WM seems to have gone down, IMO


Belfast Brawl - Finlay vs JBL
Probably Finlay, with a little help from Hornswoggle perhaps!


Smackdown vs Raw - Batista vs Umaga
Gonna go with Batista here. Umaga has become WWE's whipping boy lately. Again thats just my opinion!!


Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Chris Jericho vs MVP vs Shelton Benjamin vs CM Punk vs John Morrison vs Mr Kennedy vs Carlito
Jericho here. I like the idea of Matt Hardy turning up though!!:)


Big Show vs Floyd Mayweather
COnsidering the new stipulation that someone has to win, I'll go with Money Mayweather.


World Heavyweight Championship - Edge vs Undertaker
Edge is not looking as good as he did last year. Undertaker definitely!! If he doesn't win, I'll totally lose faith in WWE!!:mad:


WWE Title - Randy Orton vs HHH vs John Cena
Should be an alright match! Can't see Orton retaining the title though! I'm going with HHH on this one!


The Real Main Event! - Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels
Can't wait for this match!!!!:D:D Hard to know how this will go. I'm gonna say Flair to win and retire on his own terms on Raw. Ah, I don't care!! Match will steal the spotlight!!;)

24 Man Battle Royal for an ECW Title Shot

I'd like to see Elijah Burke or Kofi Kingston winning but I think it's gonna be Khali

ECW Title match - Chavo Guerrero vs Winner of Battle Royal
New champ

Bunnymania Lumberjill Match - Maria & Ashley vs Beth Phoenix & Melina
I think Maria and Ashley because of the playboy factor :rolleyes:. Hope I'm wrong, Santino better be involved in some way....in the opposing cornor perhaps. Much rather see the Glamazon vs. Mickie rather than this tripe!

Belfast Brawl - Finlay vs JBL
JBL

Smackdown vs Raw - Batista vs Umaga
Batista....

Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Chris Jericho vs MVP vs Shelton Benjamin vs CM Punk vs John Morrison vs Mr Kennedy vs Carlito
Looking forward to this match. Jericho to win. Punk is another possible winner though.

Big Show vs Floyd Mayweather
Read during the week that Show's WM record is 1-6....think it's gonna continue tonight. Mayweather for the win. Anyone think Hatton will show up after the publicity during the week lol

World Heavyweight Championship - Edge vs Undertaker
Taker by DQ

WWE Title - Randy Orton vs HHH vs John Cena
Swayed between Trips winning or Orton retaining. I don't think it will be Cena's night.

Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels
I wish this was the main event, would def. end WM on high emotions! I looking to it as the match of the night. HBK for the win.

Fozzy wrote: »

All the matches are set, so how about some predictions?

24 Man Battle Royal for an ECW Title Shot -
This is taking place before the PPV, live on WWE.com. The participants are: Snitsky, Brian Kendrick, Chuck Palumbo, Cody Rhodes, Deuce, Domino, Elijah Burke, Festus, Jim Duggan, Bob Holly, Jamie Noble, Jesse, Jimmy Wang Yang, Kane, Kofi Kingston, Lance Cade, Mark Henry, Matt Striker, Shannon Moore, Great Khali, The Miz, Tommy Dreamer, Trevor Murdoch and Val Venis

The only one of those guys that I think WWE really want to get on the PPV is Khali, so he's my pick. They could go for a more logical pick like Kofi, Dreamer or Kane though


ECW Title match - Chavo Guerrero vs Winner of Battle Royal
I think there'll be a new champ


Bunnymania - Maria & Ashley vs Beth Phoenix & Melina
I think the other women will be surrounding the ring. Snoop Dogg's doing something here too

They've got to have the Santino and Snoop Dogg interaction somewhere, with Maria getting the last laugh probably. I guess Beth & Melina will win the match though. As long as Santino is involved in some way this won't be a complete failure


Belfast Brawl - Finlay vs JBL
I suppose this is a street fight. Hornswoggle will probably return here. I think who wins depends on whether the feud will continue or not. I think it will, so I'm going with JBL. Should be a decent match too


Smackdown vs Raw - Batista vs Umaga
I think this'll be good too. Batista needs the win more so he's my pick


Money in the Bank Ladder Match - Chris Jericho vs MVP vs Shelton Benjamin vs CM Punk vs John Morrison vs Mr Kennedy vs Carlito
It went from being easy to pick to being hard. I still think that Matt Hardy could return here, but I don't think that he'll win, more than likely just prevent MVP from doing so. Although having said that, I think this match is between Jericho and MVP. I'll go with Jericho


Big Show vs Floyd Mayweather
Depending on whether Floyd remembers what to do or not, this will either be good or bad. I think Mayweather will pick up the win somehow, I can't really see him losing. Big Show will probably destroy his posse afterwards


World Heavyweight Championship - Edge vs Undertaker
Hmm...a year ago I'd be very excited for this match. But Edge doesn't look as good to me as he did a year ago. I'm sure that the ending will still be exciting, as Undertaker now has four finishing moves and Edge has got two. A spear into that stupid gogoplata maybe...

Considering how Edge has been recently, I don't think he's got any chance of winning here. I'd bet my house on Undertaker winning


WWE Title - Randy Orton vs HHH vs John Cena
Should be a decent enough match, it has the potential to be great. All three guys are over and they're all capable of great matches. Build-up hasn't been the best though. HHH came off looking like a bigger heel than Orton I thought

My first choice for the outcome would be Orton retaining. I think he's done a great job with the title. Second choice would be Cena winning, but I think my third choice will be the outcome. It's been about four years since HHH had a proper title run, I'm shocked that he stayed away for that long. I don't know if he has long left at the top either, so he probably will get the win here


The Real Main Event! - Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels
I'm really looking forward to this. I think the last time I was looking forward to a Wrestlemania match as much was either Angle vs Lesnar or Angle vs Michaels. They showed on Raw that they do care about Flair so I've got more faith in this match now

There's a dozen different things that could happen here. I think that the most basic one will happen though, and that's Flair getting pinned after the Sweet Chin Music. I wonder if they'll have some sort of Figure Four vs Reverse Figure Four spot in the match...I'm not sure how that would work though

The match should be good and Wrestlemania will be worth it for me just to see this match


That's all the matches as far as I know

Haha, like I said, I predicted this one much better than I usually do! I saw a site that was taking bets on the show, I'd say some WWE guys could've made a tidy profit betting on Punk and Orton

Are you serious? Just out of interest what odds could you have gotten on Taker

It was on Oddsmaker.com, they've taken the page down but looking in Google I think he was about -220, which is about 2/1 on. I think there was a limit on how much you could bet too

Bubs101

That is insane. Tell me you put a few quid on it

Fozzy

Nope, it was too close to the event and too much hassle!
