Rob Van Dam vs. Carlito
RVD wins. I want to see Chris Masters cost Carlito the match, sort of as a payback for New Year's Revolution and the Royal Rumble.
Kane vs. Chris Masters
Kane wins here. I would mark out if Kane breaks The Masterlock, but some people will disagree with Kane being the one to finally do it. Carlito gets Masters back for earlier.
Ric Flair vs. Triple H
I would love to see Flair win here, with Chavo Guerrero & Flair starting a new face stable to battle The Spirit Squad, but I can't see it happening. Triple H wins here with help from Shelton Benjamin, Flair gets beaten down after the match, Big Show comes out for the save.
Shawn Michaels vs. Big Show
I can see Shelton getting involved in this one, too. Benjamin beats on HBK, causing him to win via disqualification, Show gets pissed off and becomes involved in the program against Vince McMahon. We could even have Shawn Michaels, Big Show & Ric Flair vs. Triple H, Shelton Benjamin & Shane McMahon on an edition of RAW. Wouldn't be a bad match. Charlie Haas can come in to team with Shelton to face Kane & Big Show for the World Tag Team Championship.
Rob Van Dam vs. Kane
These two have worked together in the past, but I don't remember the quality of the matches, so this could be good or bad. I am a Kane mark so I would be hoping for him to win, but I doubt they'll have RVD lose so early in his return venture. Kane maybe gets screwed out of a win here by Vince McMahon, who is upset Kane refused to join his new Corporation after the movie deals he's given him.
Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels
Once again, I would love to see Triple H not go to Mania, but I guess it is happening. Benjamin, Shane & Haas force HBK to fight an uphill battle. Triple H wins.
Rob Van Dam vs. Triple H
I think RVD should win this, even if it means that he loses to Triple H on an edition of Saturday Night Main Event prior to WrestleMania. RVD could use the strong push.
So my pick for tournament winner if Rob Van Dam, even if he gets screwed out of the title shot at some point by Vince McMahon. Maybe they'll do a Triple Threat between John Cena, Triple H & Rob Van Dam? Unlikely, but it wouldn't be too bad.
