    so a lot of people in the post rumble were predicting what will be the card at WM, and i know we have had a similar thread before but now we have a much clearer picture so who do you you think we will see against each other.

    atm for me maybe:

    Edge vs Jericho (WHC) jericho beats Taker at EC

    HHH vs HBK (WWE title) HHH beats Sheamus at EC

    Straight Edge Society vs ?? (Tag titles)

    Cena w/Bret vs Batista w/Vince

    Ted Dibiase vs Randy Orton (Cody having to choose a side)

    Taker vs ??? for the streak

    Kofi wins MITB

    Big Show vs a Celeb as usual

    I think Mania's shaping up like this:

    Edge Vs Jericho

    HBK Vs HHH

    Vince w/ Batista Vs Cena w/ Bret

    Randy Orton Vs Ted Dibiase

    Which leaves Taker without an opponent, maybe a feud with Punk and the Straight Edge Society?

    Kofi to win MITB.

    Maybe Show vs Shaq, I think they kinda hinted at that a while back.

    What the Fla would book:

    If I had my way:
    Batista w/ Vince vs Cena w/Bret

    HHH vs Punk

    HBK vs Rey Mysterio

    Edge and Christian (reunited as faces) vs Jerishow

    Ted Dibiase vs Randy Orton


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,391 ✭✭✭D2D


    I think Mania will probably turn up like this.

    Dark match battle royal

    Show starts, "America the Beautiful" is sung by a celeb, Pyro

    Money in the bank to start us off with neither Kofi or Bourne coming out the winner.

    Tag titles: Straight-Edge vs. Hart Dynasty

    Big Show vs. a celeb (more than likely Shaq)

    Some sort of Diva's match

    Taker vs. ??? - Streak on the line

    Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase w/Cody as Special gust referee

    Jericho vs. Edge for the WHC

    Batista (for Vince) vs. Cena (for Bret). Cena wins, Bret gets Vince in a sharpshooter

    HHH vs. HBK or Sheamus for the WWE Title


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,007 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Edge V Jericho for WHC title

    Vince w/ Batista V Cena w/ Bret

    Sheamus V HHH for WWE title

    Undertaker V HBK Part II

    Christian wins MITB

    Ted Dibiase V Randy Orton with their dads in their corners


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,054 ✭✭✭D.Q

    This is how mainly how I think it will be as well,
    I would add

    CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio

    Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase

    I can see The Miz winning MITB if Christian doesn't. Christian with the briefcase going after Edge with the belt could be a great program during the annual post WM slump.

    Seamus vs Hornswoggle vs Finlay in a triple threat version of "Money in the bank" called "pot o'gold at the end of the wrestlemania rainbow"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,123 ✭✭✭The Bull


    I see most here puntin or thinkin it will be Batistia v Cena,
    I think that it will be Batista w Vince vrs HBK w Bret, reasons why i think this is: was it not Batista that eliminated HBK in the rumble, plus the fact there is the history between Vince, Bret and HBK from 12 years ago, also was it not Shawn that said only good things will come from bringing Bret back. For me its a lock leaving Cena to face off against Taker, Would any of u agree with my logic :rolleyes:

    tbh i agree i just cant wrap my head around HBK w/Bret but it could def happen and would also allow Cena vs Taker which would be huge.

    The sad thing is that you wouldn't put it past WWE to book something as daft as that! :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 758 ✭✭✭davrho


    Sean Michaels to have a poor run from now to mania and end up in money in the bank. Taker retains the title and Michaels cashes in and wins title ending the streak.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,199 ✭✭✭G-Money


    My prediction for WM? A money in the bank ladder match with Shelton Benjamin in it. That's as much as I'm willing to predict :D

    That would actually be f*cking IMMENSE, but a tad predicatble if he ended up in MITB no? If they could find some way to put him in the match on the night or something it'd be greatness.

    this please.

    that would be so awesome it'd hurt.

    i don't think they should give the 'ending of the streak' to someone like HBK, as he doesn't need it, but i could live with it in this sort of scenario.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 282 ✭✭SilverFox261


    My predictions would be:

    Edge vs Jericho (WHC) jericho beats Taker at EC

    HHH vs Sheamus (WWE title) Sheamus retains at EC after eliminating HHH last. HHH wins a tourney to get the no.1 spot on Raw or something similar

    Straight Edge Society vs Hart Dynasty (Tag titles) one of these team should have the titles by then, probably straight Edge Society

    Cena w/Bret vs Batista w/Vince

    Ted Dibiase vs Randy Orton (Rhodes involved in someway)

    Taker vs HBK for the streak...HBK gets into SD! elimination chamber and costs Taker the belt. Taker gives HBK his rematch

    MVP Vs Miz for US Title.

    Morrison Vs McIntyre I.C title

    Diva's battle royal somewhere

    benjamin, Kofi, Bourne, Kane, and a couple of fillers for MITB.

    Big Show vs someone....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,455 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Hair vs Mask Match
    Rey Mysterio vs CM Punk

    US Title Match
    The Miz vs MVP

    MITB
    Kofi Kingston vs Shelton Benjamin vs Christian vs John Morrison vs R Truth vs Drew Mcintrye.

    WWE Title Match
    HHH vs Sheamus

    John Cena vs Batistia

    World Title Match
    Chris Jericho (C) vs Edge.

    Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels (Loser Retires)

    Bret Hart vs Vince Mcmahon (Street Fight)

    Divas Match

    Big Show vs Kane vs The Great Khali vs Mark Henry (Cross Brand Giants Fatal 4 way)

    If that Michaels scenario does some to fruition, and the Bret match is in the Main Event, I can see Mania ending with the two embracing in the ring a la Guerrero/Benoit. Now thats a heartwarming image for the ages and proper closure for everyone for once and for all.

    Ideally what I'd like is Edge going for the WWE title while crazy HBK plans to win the WHC elimination chamber so Taker HAS to use his rematch clause which HBK won't let him do till WM. But Shawn loses (probably before Taker got out of his 'pod').

    Come WM HBK enters himself into MitB. Wins but is 'injured' and taken off the show. Middle of the show Taker defends his WHC against whoever. End of the show Edge faces the WWE champion (... erm... Kofi?). After that HBK walks down with the briefcase grabs the mic and orders Undertaker to the ring because he's not waiting until WM27 to cash in.

    I don't know about titles....

    Taker v cena

    This appeals to me somuch more than HBK/Taker II. The crowd would be electric and Cena ending the streak would go down as one of the most memorable and debated moments in WWE history. Wrestling needs its iconic moments and none more so than Cena ending the streak.

    HBK v Hunter

    Hunter needs a good Mania match as his last few performances especially last years disasterpiece stunk to the high heavens, best go back to the tried and trusted in HBK. Sheamus is decent but noway he can get as good as match out of Hunter than HBK can.

    Edge v Punk

    Jericho v Edge would be good but this would be more interesting. You could make it a hair match just to keep Vince happy.

    Ted v Orton

    Well its looking likely isn't it?

    Batista v John Morrison

    Batista needs something to and Jo Mo needs someone creditable to put him over. They had a very entertaining match a few years ago on SD so it would be good.

    MITB

    Jericho v Sheamus v Bourne v Drew v Rey v Kane vs MVP vs Miz

    In an ideal world this would be the last one ever as I have got bored with the concept and I would want Jericho and Rey in it to add some star value.

    Christian v Rey

    The storyline or reason for this match would not matter, the match itself would be wonderful.




    Oh yeah thats my fantasy booking!


    The one I assume we will get will be

    HBK v Taker part2
    Hunter v Big Red
    Cena v Batista
    Rey v Punk
    Ted v Ted

    and some other random matches.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,774 ✭✭✭Big Daddy Cool


    my wrestlemania predictions are:

    Edge V Jericho (c) for the belt

    HHH V Sheamus (c) for the belt

    Undertaker V Shawn micheals

    Batista V Cena

    Vince McMahon V Bret Hart in a street fight

    Randy Orton V Cody Rhodes/Ted DiBiase

    CM Punk V Rey mysterio

    Money in the Bank Winner Christian/Ted DiBiase

    after that its anybodys guess

    as micheals is taking time off after mania, cant see this happening


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,720 ✭✭✭✭Penn

    Yeah. I doubt HBK or Taker will be in title matches. I think they're both taking time off after Mania. Taker probably won't lose the streak, and HBK probably won't want to lose 2 Wrestlemanias in a row


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,774 ✭✭✭Big Daddy Cool


    i predict micheals will end the streak


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,774 ✭✭✭Big Daddy Cool


    i really hope they dont put cena with bret hart at mania, just leave it as vince v bret, i would say even at 52 and after a stroke, bret still has more ability then cena,If you disagree look at brets punches to vince on monday night and then look at cena's in any match and decide who's offence looks more realistic, and look at brets selling of vinces kick on raw a month ago and look at cena's selling of moves in his matches, non existent.

    i say let them have a street fight even for 10mins and it will end it with vince in the sharpshooter, and let cena and batista have their own match, i know what match would be more entertaining


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 64 ✭✭tommy666


    maybe something like

    hhh vs sheamus title match

    hbk vs taker,

    edge vs jricho,

    batista vs cena,

    mcmahon vs hitman

    ted vs randy,

    mitb match(kofi, rhodes, mvp, usual mid cards,)

    punk vs mysterio ina hair vs mask match, obviously mysterio will win,

    maybe a diva match

    maybe a tag match and maybe a wwe nxt match but doubt it

    all the ecw guys could be in mitb as ecw is ending becoming ecw nxt


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    I don't know about predicting every match but I'd put money on

    Jericho -v- Edge

    Cena /w Bret -v- Batista /w Vince

    The Miz to win MITB

    Hard one to call on the streak. I do think that a rematch with HBK is unlikely, I mean it would be a bit much to expect HBK to lose twice in a row. He won't end the streak that's for sure. It seems Cena is also out of the question too so who is left? Maybe Sheamus?


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,559 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Ill give it a go:

    Sheamus Vs HHH - Title

    Edge Vs - Jericho - Title

    Taker Vs HBK

    Orton Vs DiBiase

    Cena/Bret Vs Vince/Batista

    MITB (Kofi Vs Morrison Vs Christian Vs Benjamin Vs Kane Vs Hardy)

    Straight Edge Vs Hart Dynasty Vs Cryme Tyme for the tag titles

    Diva battle royal.

    Could see DiBiase eliminating Orton in the EC to set up the match

    at no way out i say cena with bret vs mcmahon with batista leading into singles matches at wm26


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,153 ✭✭✭Jolt2007


    Sheamus v HHH
    Edge v Jericho
    Orton v DiBiase v Rhodes
    Beth Phoenix v Mickie James
    Cena w/Bret v Batista w/Vince
    MITB (Whoever they draw out of a hat + Shelton)
    HBK v Taker to close the show (Both guys break themselves to the point of near death, HBK goes to the top rope for an elbow drop and as he jumps the screen fades to black. Neither guy is seen again.)

    I have not got much more to add to the rest, good predictions guys! So for the top 5 matches I think...

    HBK v Undertaker (HBK to cost Taker the title at EC)
    Jericho v Edge for WHC (Jericho benefiting from HBKs superkick on Taker)
    Cena w Bret v Batista with Vince (Though I would love Vince to have CM Punk with him)
    HHH v Seamus (Midcard WWE title match...I feel that HHH was being so kind to Sheamus for a reason in interviews last year)
    Christian to win MITB having served his time in ECW, thus setting up Christian/Edge WWE title match

    However....one other possibility is for HHH to screw HBK out his Undertaker rematch at EC and for them to meet at Mania. Then maybe tie this in with Vince and Bret. HHH with Vince in his corner, HBK with Bret in his. HHH could come out in support of his father-in-law and claim HBK has gone soft. HHH has been very cool towards the HBK/Bret reconciliation on TV, especially on the night of Bret's return. Then as mentioned above, Mania could end with the image of HBK and Bret hugging, putting it all firmly in the past. Then as they hug...BONG!!! OK maybe not that last part but how awesome would it be to have an unadvertised HBK/Taker match :)

    If Sheamus isn't in a title match for WM would he not be a lock for winning the money in the bank?

    not at all really.

    he could, but it depends on what direction they want to go with certain characters and whether they want to put the title on Sheamus again.

    just because he gets a short run with the title, doesn't mean he'll get it again.

    Exactly Hunter may like Drew more when Mania comes around. :pac:

    It has been said before but I need to repeat it, when the next MITB winner cashes in it his chance it would be awesome if he loses.

    Agreed. They could really make a great angle out of it too. Have the person get really mad over missing his chance, or someone cost him his chance and start a good fued with them, and it'd freshen up the MITB too

    So a lot of people seem to think it will be Bret with Cena v Vince with Big Dave.

    I have to admit, when I watched Raw the other night, the fighting between Bret, Vince and Batista looked bad. I don't know if the crowd were part of the issue, or he timed it wrong, but when Bret went to hit Vince the first time, the crowd didn't react.

    I thought the fighting looked bad but when I re-watched it, it didn't seem that bad after all. Bret's punches looked good and fast. I think the problem was that Vince fell to his knees and had the coat pulled half way over his head. I can't see anyone being able to beat someone up properly in that scenario.

    By the same token, Batista's punches looked much worse when he went after Bret. Again, probably not helped by the jacket being over his head and stuff.

    I suppose my big concern is whether they could have a full match and whether Bret's health is 100%. I mean could he take a bump? What if he hit his head again?

    One thing for sure, he could definitely lock on the sharpshooter with no risk :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 937 ✭✭✭Icky Thump


    My Dream Wrestlemania

    Main events
    HBK vs Taker --- 3 stages of hell. Normal fight, street fight, Stell cage(i hope:D)

    WWE Title
    Batista(vince in his corner) vs Cena(brett in his corner) ---- after the match Brett can still do the sharpshooter on Vince

    World Heavyweight Title

    Y2J vs Edge --- no DQ


    Sheamus Vs HHH


    Orton vs DiBiase


    Intercontinental Title
    Drew vs Kozlov

    Tag Titles

    Hart Dynasty vs ShowMiz vs Khali and Matt Hardy

    Money in the bank match
    Masters
    Rhodes
    Jo Mo
    Kofi
    Christian
    Benjamin
    Swagger
    Evan Bourne


    on a side note what would you guys think of the MITB match being in a hell in a cell instead of a ladder match?? wrestlers would have to climb alone the ceiling to reach the case??
