WWE Championship
John Cena© vs. Shawn Michaels
My Pick: John Cena.
As much as I'd love to see HBK get the belt, I can't see it happening. For 3 main reasons.
1. Cena sells too much merchandise, and kids love him too much to let him lose at 'Mania. All his merchandise revolves around that God awful "Blingin'" belt of his, so taking it off him would ruin his merchandise sales.
2. The Belt. I can't see HBK wearing that thing around. And, as I've said already, it sells merchandise, so he can't revert to the older, much more traditional WWE Championship belt.
3. HBK wants a reduced schedule, and he is too old and broken down to keep going at the pace he is keeping currently. WWE can't put all that faith in him, if he's just going to 'lose his smile' all over again.
Battle of the Billionaires
(Special referee Steve Austin)
Umaga vs. Bobby Lashley
My Pick: Bobby Lashley
As much as I love the 1980's appeal of Umaga, and as much as he deserves to beat Lashley, Donald Trump is not going to go bald. Vince will though, and he'll ham it up when he does, so i can't wait to see him lose his already thinning hair.
World Championship
Undertaker vs. Batista ©
My Pick: Undertaker.
Batista does not give a crap about wrestling, and it shows. he's just there to pick up a paycheck. Undertaker is a legend and he values his 'streak' at Wrestlemania. It's one of the few things in the business that means something now, and he wont relinquish it to someone like Batista. I pretty much think that 'Taker has enough sway backstage to get one more run with the title, and it would be a real 'Wrestlemania Moment' too.
Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Participants:
- Edge
- CM Punk
- King Booker
- Matt Hardy
- Jeff Hardy
- Finlay
- Mr. Kennedy
- Randy Orton
My Pick: Edge
Edge deserves another run with the title, my prediciton is Edge to win, and to jump to Smckdown to feud with the Undertaker. Smackdown needs another heel, who can be taken seriously, and that's Edge. Also, Edge has an undefeated streak of his own at Wrestlemania, and they're billing him to keep it for a while, so if The Rated R superstar wins the MITB match, I don't think there'll be any complaints frm anyone in attendance.
ECW Originals vs. New BreedRVD, Tommy Dreamer, Sabu & Sandman vs. Elijah Burke, Matt Striker, Marcus Cor Von and Kevin Thorn
My Pick: New Breed
It's pretty obvious that Vince and Co. don't give a flying piece of monkey crap about ECW and it's legacy, and they're using the old 'big names' from back in the day to put the newer guys over, so why change now. It'll be good to see Sandman and Monty Brown get to wrestle at 'Mania, and for some of the more promising guys like Elijah Burke it will surely only be the first of many Mania appearances.
It might prvide a feel good moment for the originals to win, but I cant see it happening. UNLESS, there's a major twist and Heyman comes back to lead the Originals, which is a possibility I think, this one is a foregone conclusion.
Women's Championship
Melina ©vs. Ashley
My Pick: Ashley
Honestly, who gives a crap. But Ashley is the face, blah blah blah. Somebody please burn the Womens Championship belt.
Kane vs. The Great Khali
My Pick: The Great Khali
Khali is great. He can't wrestle, he can't speak and he can't move. But he's still great. Kane is only so long for the WWE world, and if he lasts beyond the next Wrestlemania, I'll be surprised. Khali will be in WWE for a long time I reckon. I'm predicitng a face turn for Khali around Summerslam, in a George Steele kind of way. (And besides, Khali said it best when he said; "Urgahaipdsh jkfhsifhas dafjasifha jhaifha !!!"
United States Championship
Chris Benoit © vs. Montel Vonatvious Porter
My Pick: MVP
Oh where did Benoit go wrong? Word is he's moving back to Raw after Wrestlemania, and he can't bringthat title with him, so I'm fully expecting MVP to score the upset victory.
I should note that I think MVP is a waste of a decent push, and that Benoit should still be in that spot he was in two years ago, but this is WWE, not the perfect world.
Any comments, or predictions of your own, stick them in.
