Every year WM seems to get more and more pretictable.Do you think this years will be any different.I mean Orton/Taker can still go either way.Will Cena dethrone Bradshaw with the odd very likly that Batista will win.Will Batista even win or will he get screwed out.

wrestlemania is seeming boring and predictable..the best match that is hard to predict in my opionon is the 6 man ladder match.

I wouldnt say its boring the only match im not looking forward to is the sumo match.As far as wrestling goes im more excited to see how Christy fairs in the ring than seeing Cena/Bradshaw other than that i think it will be an awesome show.

Due to some of the terrible predicting people have done in the predictions thread, I would say the WWE can still put one past us sometimes.

I don't think it's boring or predictable at all.

I'm guessing that the WWE and World titles won't BOTH change hands. Though the majority of people seem to think Batista and Cena will both win. I'm really pulling for Cena and that one seems more likely to me but I don't think anyone can honestly say they either match is a lock.

The ladder match is pretty impossible to predict as well.

The Sumo match, while it won't be a barn-burner or anything, it's tough to know who will win that one. Akibono losing would obvioulsy be terrible for his legacy (Even though none of us know anything about it really, that doesn't mean he doesn't have one), and Big Show losing to a guy making a one time appearance would make him look bad. This one could be the most unpredictable.

Then you've got Orton-Taker. It seems like Orton may be a decent bet to end Taker's streak but I think people still have some doubts. Could be a suprise.

As for Angle-HBK, not a clue. Either way, this is going to be my favorite match to actually just sit back and watch. It's gonna have that old timey feel cause Angle actually could get a clean win over Michaels. This is going to be great in every way a wrestling match can be great.

And of course, don't forget Piper's Pit. No one really knows what will happen there.

So yeah, how someone can consider this WM either boring or predictable boggles my mind.

a typical ppv has one good match maybe 2 and i dont think wrestlemania 21 will be much differnt. Can you remember a good solid PPV? the HBK vs. Angle match has potential to be great , but so did the cruiserweight match last wrestlemania and remember how bad that ended up.

Difference... It's WWE... no cruiserweight match will ever be given proper time. No one should have really ever even looked at it as "having potential".

HBK vs. Angle is ASSURED time. It will be as good, if not better than HBK vs. Jericho.

I think this WrestleMania is extremely unpredictable. You have matchs that can go any way all over the card.

The World Championship matches are up in the air (although face wins are the best bet). HBK vs. Angle is a likely win for Angle, but the winner isn't that important. You have the Money in the Bank Ladder Match which again can go to anyone. There's the Hall of Fame and Piper's Pit segments. You have Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio likely added to the card, where they can give a solid victory to Eddie, or have he hometown hero Rey Mysterio take a win. Even Taker vs. Orton, which by all logic can create a new star that will forever hold a record to his name, if they win, is up in the air. And there's The Big Show vs. Akebono, where I don't think they'll actually book a winner, but just let them go.

Then there are the odd few matches that might be added to the card that we don't even see coming. Orlando Jordan vs. Booker T for the WWE United States Championship and Chavo Guerrero vs. Paul London for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship come to mind. Both of those could go either way.

This is not a predictable WrestleMania at all.

For the most part, yes.

My question is: What difference does it make? People will tune in expecting Batista AND Cena to win, and they will pay. People will tune in for Angle-HBK, and they will pay. People will tune in for HBK-Orton...And both of them will pay.

A lot of these matches are safe bets, with a few surprises here and there. People will buy the PPV, so predictability must not be too horrible.

Apart from HHH's continued monster push the wwe has been anything but predictable.

Bradshaw wwe champion???

Orton not being in the mania main event?

Bradshaw STILL wwe champion going into mania

long as G.M of Smackdown

I agree with Kane, we all have an idea who will win certain matches but we'll still order the ppv.

I actually find this year's WM to be one of the less predictable ones in the past few years.

HHH and Batista I made a post about how he might not win the title.

Cena looks like the sure guy to win, I hope at least. However, still, it's unpredictable.

6 man ladder match...no way you can predict that.

HBK-Kurt....I'm thinking Kurt will come out on top for his last match, then again HBK could come out on top.

To sum it all up, it's not easy to predict.

Though some of the unpredictable elements which you mention are not necessarily unpredictable in a good way.

This year seems more unpredictable than last year.. I mean there are matches like 6 Man Ladder, Cena vs. JBL, and even HHH vs. Batista that are hard to predict

It is hard to see how everything will turn out. I don't see this as being predictable. With the title matches, both Cena and Batista are on major rolls, so I think both should win their titles, but I really don't know if both titles will change. The ladder match, I'm undecided on. Orton/Taker is fairly unpredictable as to who will win. I dont know if Taker's undefeated streak will end or if Orton will be the one to end it. I'm really looking forward to Angle/HBK, but that one is tough as well. Angle doesn't have a good track record at WM, but HBK does. Anyway, top to bottom, the whole card looks solid.
