Wrestlemania Predictions
So what are your predictions for Wrestlemania, and why do you feel the way you do?
Floyd Mayweather over Big Show (100% Sure) There's just absolutely no way that Floyd Mayweather is going to yield his perfect record for the sake of entertainment. The No DQ stipulation is probably going to set up interference from somebody like Rey Mysterio which will result in Big Show losing one way or another; probably by knock out. John Cena over Triple H & Randy Orton (75% Sure) I wouldn't be too surprised if the WWE actually surprised us by having Triple H or Randy Orton walk away with the title, but I just can't see Cena walking out of Wrestlemania without a title. I think the best move would be to turn Cena heel and have him feud with a face Triple H. Regardless, I feel a safe bet is always with Stone Cold John Hogan. The Undertaker over Edge (80% Sure) Taker is getting older, and while I am more worried about his streak this year than any of the previous years I'm still confident he'll walk away with a victory. I can't see him getting the title again, and it would be horrible for him to win by count out or DQ; but that's always a possibility too. Batista over Umaga (95% Sure) I still see Batista in the main event picture after Wrestlemania, with Umaga becoming the monster jobber he was destined to be since his arrival. MVP or Mr. Kennedy for Money in the Bank (65% Sure) I'd go with Mr. Kennedy, but he's promised to cash his in the same night and I don't see that happening. At the same time, I still have a feeling he may win. MVP has been on a roll and it would make sense for him to win as well. I think it's safe to say that Carlito and John Morrison will definitely not win. I don't think they'll give it t CM Punk or Jericho because people would like that. I'd like Shelton to win, but I don't think it's his time. Maria and Ashley over Beth Pheonix and Melina (75% Sure) They were in playboy, which apparently makes you a better wrestler. 24 Man Battle Royal - Chavo Keeps the Title (80% Sure) I have no idea who will win the battle royal, but I can see Chavo keeping the title. The scenario would probably consist of the wrestler being so badly beaten that all Chavo has to do is hit a suplex and a frog splash to secure the victory. ![]() |

I don't think he agreed to come to WWE, do all this stuff, and then lose to Big Show on the grandest stage of them all.
Think about it. Mr. T and Hogan won at WM. Lawrence Taylor beat Bam Bam at Mania 11. Mike Tyson knocked out HBK at 14. DDP and Karl Malone beat Hogan and Giant, then DDP and Leno beat Hogan and Bischoff in WCW in 98. Trump shaved McMahon last year. Celebrities always win. |

It doesn't make sense for Mayweather to win. His record would not be tainted; that's like saying a NASCAR driver gets bumped to a lower starting position in the INDY 500 for losing aheat in a Demolition Derby. They are unrelated fields, gentlemen.

^ Exactly. I don't think they would add it to his boxing record if he did lose, having said that i can't see him losing.

They wouldn't add it to his boxing record, but every sports network nationwide would pick up the story that "Floyd Mayweather was defeated." With an ego that big, there's no way he's going to willingly lose to any man.

I hope Kennedy wins MITB, then Edge get's himself DQed in the World Title match, Taker get's mad and absolutely destroys him, then after Taker leaves, Kennedy runs down with the briefcase and cashes in for a quick win over Edge, moving to Smackdown as a main event heel.
It's like a role-reversal from last year when Edge took Kennedy out in kayfabe and then won the title. The only problem is, I don't know if the WWE would put a heel over a heel, but I figure Kennedy would be a pretty decent tweener. |

Mayweather is going to win for sure.
I have been hearing that the plan is for Trips to win the title, as if that makes any sense. The most interesting one is the Undertaker and Edge, I could see the WWE ending the streak and giving the rub to Edge, I hope not but we will see. |

Well, I think if they wanted to make Mayweather win, they should've made him look better to the crowd, plus Show should win since he lost last year.

The Mayweather/Big Show match is a no disqualification match and can be won by pinfall, submission or knockout. Don't be surprised to see other people joining the fight.

Mayweather over Big Show (not clean)
Triple H over Randy and Cena Undertaker over Edge (possibly DQ) Flair over Michaels (retires anyway) MVP for MITB Kane over Chavo (pulled that one out of the clear blue sky... I noticed the battle royal has been bumped to WWE.com) The Bunny girls over the mean girls Batista over Umaga Finlay over JBL |

I think they are billing Show as the Heel, even though the fans are clearly behind him. The whole thing started when Show was going to choke slam Mysterio, and then escalated with Show flinching the next night on Raw. Then of course, Show went at him from behind when he press slammed him into the Wu-Tang Clan (or whoever that was).

Nah the way they've done it is its kinda like they're both heels, but show is the face in this match only. I think anyway. Cause 'everyone' hates mayweather.

I predict PAIN.
Anyhoo... Mayweather over Big Show Triple H over Randy and Cena Undertaker over Edge (DQ) Michaels over Flair Kennedy to win MITB (and later in the night pin Edge for the World Title) Kane over Chavo (because even tho it's a nothing championship, Kane deserves some singles gold) Batista over Umaga Finlay over JBL |

He and Kane defeated Chris Masters & Carlito to retain the World Tag Team Championship in the opening match of WrestleMania 22, I believe.
I expect to see Triple H take out Randy Orton with a Pedigree (while it is a bit of an extreme prediction to make, since this is WrestleMania, I can see Triple H busting out a "Pepsi Plunge" version of the move on Orton to counter a superplex attempt). John Cena then either FUs Triple H in the ring, or over the top rope to the floor, and then puts Randy Orton in the STFU for the submission victory. Edge vs. The Undertaker is really in a unique position where they can really go many different ways with it, and all of them being good. The countout/DQ possibility might piss people off, but it continues the chase, keeps the streak alive, and keeps the title on Edge for a little while longer. The most likely outcome, is The Undertaker giving Edge the Tombstone, though. Something about Edge taking a Tombstone on his surgically repaired neck just seems like the right ending to their match. Floyd Mayweather will not lose to Big Show. I doubt, however, that they will put Mayweather over cleanly. The posse and some WWE Superstars will get into the stiffest battle of the night (even more so than JBL/Finlay) and we will see someone from the WWE camp cost Big Show the win. Elijah Burke, MVP, Rey Mysterio and even Chuck Palumbo come to mind as possibilities. It would really not surprise me if Chris Jericho made a turn here, though. Big Show will probably go over whoever costs him the match at Backlash. I think we'll see the men end in knockout, which gives each advertised main event a different ending (pinfall for the World Heavyweight Championship, submission for the WWE Championship and knockout for the "special attraction"). It is beginning to look more and more to me like Ric Flair will go over Shawn Michaels. I'm still sticking with HBK in Tipsters, but I am not going to be surprised if Flair makes Michaels tap. I mean, if HBK goes over, Flair is meant to be done. I honestly expect to see Flair in another match, though. Sure, they can say "oh, he's back part-time for just for special occasions," but wasn't that the type of performer Ric Flair was at one stage? It's not like it'd be a massive change to his career at all, which undermines the moment. While I'm not a big fan of the "well that was a good match, now I'm bowing out" scenario, that does make sense from the perspective that Flair steps out of the ring, but could also step back into it for money matches in the future. To be honest, though, I'm just imagining a more emotional moment with Flair actually winning than losing. What good is it being the first active Hall of Fame wrestler if you lose your next match and are gone? You really should give Flair the chance to be announced as "sixteen-time World Champion and WWE Hall of Famer" at least a few times. Also, if HBK goes over, I don't think it will be with the Sweet Chin Music, like most do. I think Flair will give the rub to Shawn Michaels' Figure Four (which might actually become "Tribute to Flair" or "TTF" after that), and tap out to Michaels. Money in the Bank is getting murkier, in my opinion. I think Carlito, John Morrison and Shelton Benjamin can sort of be ruled out (in that order, from least likely to win to most), but the other four guys all sort of stand a chance. MVP was my Tipsters pick, but with Matt Hardy not being around anywhere, and it does seem like a very plausible occurrence that MVP will have the match won (which sort of gives him the rub), but then Matt Hardy shoves him off a ladder, brawls with him to the back, or something. Chris Jericho and Mr. Kennedy both have their potential storylines if they win, but I am actually thinking CM Punk now. As some have observed, it seems he is now in Chris Jericho stuff in place of Jeff Hardy. More attention has been moved to Jericho vs. MVP, but CM Punk and Jericho and the two faces who "accidentally" take each other out, and stuff. Of course, that could be becaus there are no other faces in the match. Also, if CM Punk does not win the match, then where does that leave him? He was in the match last year and came up short (although he had victory just snatched out from underneath him). If he doesn't even do as well with seven men in there as he did last year, then what does that say about his growth? Sure, the same can sort of be said about Mr. Kennedy, but if Kennedy went over, he'd be a repeat winner. It'd be like Edge going over last year. Punk going over shows he's taken some steps as a performer over the year, and it goes hand-in-hand with the rumours that the WWE want to push CM Punk pretty hard with the kids after WrestleMania. Plus, it's a pretty apt dig at Jeff Hardy putting over the straight-edge guy. |

That was longer than I thought it would be. So to summarise:
* John Cena makes Orton tap out to the STFU * The Undertaker Tombstones Edge * Floyd Mayweather knocks out Big Show with a wrestler's assist * I'm not convinced Flair is losing, but I think it is still most likely he will tap out to Michaels * CM Punk is now my pick to be Mr. Money in the Bank |

I do warn you, though. Despite being "disconnected from reality," I do tend to go pretty well in Tipsters.

Alright, I decided to go ahead and post my predictions...
Chavo Guerrero over Tommy Dreamer to retain the ECW Title Finlay over JBL Mr. Kennedy wins MITB. At some point, he fakes an injury and has to be helped to the back before coming back fresh and winning the match. This means he is still fresh when this happens.... Undertaker over Edge for the World Heavyweight Title... followed by Kennedy over Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Title. (Outside shot but I'm going out on a limb. I can see it happening.) HBK over Ric Flair Mayweather over Big Show... hopefully this match has some sort of awesome finish. Batista over Umaga Ashley and Maria win the pillow fight |
