Yeah, so I've decided to "preview" this week from my point of view as to what we should expect heading into the final week before WMXX! I hope to get some feed back with this, as I will preview for you each match (in order as posted on Wrestlemania.com) that has been announced thus far. And now, the preview:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar
Guest Referee: Steve Austin
A match that is guaranteed to a treat for people who wish to see two unstoppable forces get smacked with a Stunner. That's all I see in this match. Expect on RAW that Austin reminds Goldberg about the spear he got before No Way Out and when he said that when the Stunner comes, it won't be a mistake. As for Brock Lesnar, expect just talk on SmackDown, but Goldberg will come from no where with the spear and Jackhammer, just to get some hype.
World Heavyweight Championship- Triple Threat Match
Triple H vs. Chris Benoit vs. Shawn Michaels
Two Kliq Members, one Canadian, Earl Hebner, one ring. Where have we seen this before? Expect some form of Benoit/Michaels vs. Evolution match at RAW, and Benoit and Michaels fight over the pin. All hell breaks loss, and either Benoit or Triple H end the show holding the World Heavyweight Championship. They are saving it for Michaels (did I say that out loud?).
The Dead Will Rise Again
Kane vs. The Undertaker
We all expected it, so get ready for an Undertaker Promo of epic proportions. Imagine all the Undertaker Promos rolled into one bad ass package. Rain, lightining, Undertaker crosses on fire, fog, and bells tolling. Remember the Undertaker video from his Casket Match with Yokozuna? I think they should reuse it, roll a casket out to the ring, and incased inside is a Kane mask. As for Sunday, expect a crusifixion.
WWE Championship
Eddie Guerrero vs. Kurt Angle
Next to the Cruiserweight Open, this will be the best match on the card. Two great technical wrestlers in one ring, at a Wrestlemania! God has answered our prayers! This will be a great setup, if they don't have Eddie get arrested again. Kurt promises Eddie a good match, then he beats him down before the end of Smackdown, as simple as that.
Playboy Evening Gown Match
Miss Jackie/Stacy Kiebler vs. Torrie Wilson/Sable
3 words: Fil-ler Match. By starting the show an hour early, WWE said "Shit" and realized that they would need more matches. This will be predictable as hell. Jackie and Kiebler hype the hell out of it, while Sable and Stacy sit on their asses on Smackdown. But we know who will win it...
WWE United States Championship
John Cena vs. Big Show
How predictable is this match? Very. Expect Tazz and Cole to hype this by saying that there is no way Cena will F-U The Big Show. That's what makes this match predictable. Look forward to a really good rap however.
WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Cruiserweight Open
One of the highlights of the night, curtasy of Smackdown. All Cruiserweights pour into the ring on Smackdown, and the last four standing are Rey Mysterio, Billy Kidman, Tajiri, and Chavo Guerrero. This is how we set up WrestleMania matches so that you know who will win. Expect Kidman to turn on Mysterio.
Handicap Tag 2-on-3 Match
Rock & Sock Connection vs. Evolution
Rock + Sock = Ratings. Nuff Said.
WWE Womens Championship
Molly vs. Victoria
Stipulation: If Molly loses, she gets shaven bald
Expect Victoria to walk to the ring on RAW with some hair clippers. And expect Molly win. That way, the WWE makes sure you are watching.
Christian vs. Chris Jericho
A ploy to get Jericho on television. Jericho shows up on RAW, only to find out Christian was given the night off.
WWE World Tag Team Championship
Cade and Jindrak vs. La Resistance vs. Booker T/RVD vs. The Dudley Boys or Lance Storm and Val Venis
This will be another good match. Some form of preview with a member from each team in a turmoil of some sort on RAW, with La Resistance or Venis/Storm as the last man standing of a resulting brawl.
This only leaves one title uncontended for. The WWE Tag Team Championships. This will be some sort of tournament that will be decided on Smackdown this week. Expect Rikishi/Scotty 2 Hotty to defend against The World's Greatest Tag Team and the APA in a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania.
