-Christian vs Edge... :LOL:

Triple H vs Sheamus
-The Celtic Warrior will forever bow down to the King of Kings

CM Punk vs Rey Mysterio
-Meh, neutral feeling

Unified Tag Team Titles: ShoMiz (Big Show & Miz) vs John Morrison & R-Truth
-ShoMiz is out of business

Randy Orton vs Ted Dibiase vs Cody Rhodes
-Legacy will fall apart

Chris Jericho vs Edge for World Heavyweight Championship
-One Word... Spear...

Batista vs Cena for WWE Championship
-As Much as I hate him, I'm goin with Cena...

Mr. McMahon vs Bret "Hit Man" Hart in a No Holds Barred match
-Vince screwed Vince

Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels Career vs Streak Match, Only Pinfalls and Submissions.
-R.I.P. HBK in WWE 1989-2010, plus he can go to TNA. :LOL:

So... will HBK rest in peace, will Vince get the near 13-year beating he deserves, and will Rey join the Straight-Edge Society?

Discuss your thoughts on the grandest stage of them all... My Picks are in Red.

 

[instantCLASSIC]

1st off, I'm not buying it due to that ridiculous price increase this year. What is it $65? geez

2nd, my picks:

MITB: Christian (he's the only one that stands out, plus he can turn heel and face Edge for the title @ Extreme Rules or Over the Limit)

HHH

Rey Mysterio (can't see Rey joining the SES)

ShowMiz (Morrison might turn heel in this match, who knows)

I'd be shocked if Orton didn't win, although I'm pulling for Dibiase (since his daddy's going into the hall of fame)

Edge

Batista (Cena will probably win, but I want Dave to take it)

Bret Hart (that one's obvious, and McMahon has never won at WM)

and Taker will finish it off with HBK's retirement

 

[dalejrgamer]

Here's what I think:

10-Man Money-in-the-Bank Ladder Match
Christian. Best case scenario: Make Edge heel, have Christian cash it in, best rivalry ever.

Triple H. Sorry, Sheamus, but I see him as a career mid-carder.

Rey Mysterio. Him in the SES will definitely be strange.

Unified Tag Team Titles: Predicting a R-Truth/Morrison win via DQ because Big Show will sperg.

Randy Orton should win this match. He should also punt Ted's head...again.

SPEAR SPEAR SPEAR SPEAR SPEAR SPEAR SPEAR SPEAR SPEAR SPEAR

John Cena will win the WWE title because he will DEFY THE ODDS for the septillionth time. Plus, I hate Batista.

Should I really say that the No Holds Barred match might end in a no-contest? O wate, this isn't TNA. Then again, seeing a 64-year-old man wrestling a stroke victim is 100% depressing.

Undertaker. I like Shawn Michaels, but he's not the right man to end Taker's streak.

Just recently added to the match card on WWE.com

10-Diva Tag Match

Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Eve, Gail Kim, & Beth Phoenix vs Michelle McCool, Layla, Maryse, Alicia Fox, & Vickie Guerrero

Someone mind reminding me when was the last time the Women's Championship was on the line at Wrestlemania, oh yeah, Wrestlemania 23... It's like they're trying to replace that match with other Divas matches.

Prediction to win in red.

 

[PepsiRacer4]

Well I was supposed to see it with a friend but he got sick

 

[Sebastian Ruiz]

Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Eve, Gail Kim, & Beth Phoenix vs Michelle McCool, Layla, Maryse, Alicia Fox, & Vickie Guerrero

Hold up, Vickie's a wrestler? :err:

(havent watched in months so i have no idea what's goin on nowadays :twitcy: )

 

[dalejrgamer]

Vickie is a waste. All she's got is EXCUSE ME! *boos* I SAID EXCUSE ME! *boos get louder*

 

[dalejrgamer]

Enjoying WM so far.

 

[instantCLASSIC]

I am still completely shell-shocked that Swagger won MiTB. what the heck?

Anyway, nice job for Rey missing his entrance. Maybe he was adjusting his Na'vi braid.

 

[instantCLASSIC]

AWESOME job by both 'Taker and HBK. ITs going to be a sad night tomorrow when they do a tribute to Shawn.

 

[AJGracing]

WrestleMania was great. $65 is worth it. I've seen WR 23, 24, 25, AND 26. WR 23 is still the best ive seen. But wr 26 was great.

 

[dalejrgamer]

That is a good PPV. Although the Bret Hart-Vince McMahon really sucked the life out of the crowd (not to mention it's a poor match to begin with). And Vickie needs to be fired.

 

[JRRacing64]

$65 is worth it

Wow! $65 bucks for a ppv! That is way too steep. No wonder why I wait to buy these on dvd. From what I read it's about where it was last year. Taker/ Shawn steals the show, Rest of the card seemed kinda underwhelming. But overall not as bad as last year.

 

[AJGracing]

$65 the last 4 years to watch the Greatest PPV in WWE live. But, I watch in HD if I got it in non-HD it would be $45, but, HD is worth it.

 

[instantCLASSIC]

$65 the last 4 years to watch the Greatest PPV in WWE live. But, I watch in HD if I got it in non-HD it would be $45, but, HD is worth it.

It's $55 for SD broadcast. I bought it tonight....$54.95

 

[Fisha695]

Taker is the Jimmie Johnson of WrestleMania... l0l


I just find it funny though, WWE bailed on doing a Hair vs Mask match for Rey/Punk because they claim "The fans would know the outcome before it happens" (ie Rey keeping his mask & Punk going Bald).... Yet they keep doing Takers streak and they bill it as the main thing when in fact everybody knows the outcome of it before the match ever happens.
