[sportscardrage]

Watching Raw this past week really got me amped up for Wrestlemania. I started to look at all the matches and for me at least this might be the best card for a Wrestlemania they had in a long time. I have a vested interest in really all the matches to be honest. So I thought I'd start this thread up to generate some rumblings on WM on here.

Where's Miz?!

Where's Miz?!

Atleast as of right now he won't lose?

Where's Miz?!

He's gone the way of the Funkasaurus.

If WWE cares about their fans, they will have Rock win. If Cena wins, epic fail.

I've been in the mood to rent the old WWF videos. Every once in awhile, it sounds fun.

Aside from the Rock Vs Cena, HHH Vs Taker, and Punk Vs Jericho matches, the rest of the card is whatever. The 12 man tag team match looks horrible and Team Teddy probably has the worst group of wrestlers I have ever seen assembled. After tonight no Christian, no Alberto Del Rio, no Rey Misterio, and even no Brodus Clay in the match. They should have just had a Money In The Bank Ladder Match instead.

Here are my predictions.

Sadly Maria Menounos & Kelly Kelly will defeat Beth Phoenix & Eve Torres in a pathetic excuse for a match.

Team Teddy (Santino Marella, R-Truth, Kofi Kingston, Zack Ryder, The Great Khali & Booker T) will seriously defeat Team Johnny (David Otunga, Mark Henry, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, The Miz, & Drew McIntyre). I can see most likely The Miz turning on Team Johnny and helping Team Teddy win. I have read rumors that they are going to turn The Miz face and move him over to Smackdown in the draft.

Randy Orton will defeat Kane.

Big Show will defeat Cody Rhodes for the Intercontinental Title. Mainly because they will be moving Cody Rhodes into the main event after Mania and he has to lose his title first.

Daniel Bryan will defeat Sheamus. I want Daniel Bryan to win and Sheamus winning is too obvious, so WWE may throw a curveball. Sheamus can always win the title at the next PPV.

CM Punk will defeat Chris Jericho and their feud will continue for another month or two.

The Undertaker will defeat Triple H and retire after the match. Shawn Michaels will probably end up super kicking both Taker and HHH, but that wont cost either of them the match. If they have a double countout or HHH wins, that will be a horrible result.

John Cena will defeat The Rock. I hate that this is the obvious result of the match. But I think this is what is going to happen. After watching tonight, this seems oddly familiar to the Austin Vs Rock WWF Title Match at Wrestlemania 17 where Austin said he needs to win the title at all costs. The end result was Austin siding with Vince McMahon, hitting The Rock with 30+ chair shots, and turning heel to win the title. I can see John Cena actually turning heel and using a chair or chain to win the match since he cant beat The Rock one on one fairly. If they are going to make Cena win the match, at least turn him heel or this whole entire year long feud was an absolute waste of time.

When is this?

This Sunday - April Fools Day.

Thanks bud. I'll try to check it out. I haven't seen much wrestling lately.

from what im hearing,at least regarding Taker/HHH/HBK,is that HBK is going to screw over HHH,which is going to lead to a rumored match between HBK/HHH at next year's Wrestlemania,Lesnar's said he wants to wrestle at Wrestlemania 29,wether it be Taker or HHH,and im sure WWE will get what it wants next year with that masks obsession provided Mysterio's knees can last that long,so they can have a Rey/Sin Cara feud,that divas tag team match is nothing more than a glorified piss break,unless Kharma/Kong comes out and lays out Beth "The Roidazon" Phoenix out on her ass,theyre gonna let Big Show win the IC title belt,since thats the only active WWE title hes never won,which'll give him the distinction of being only the 3rd active guy to do it,Jericho just extended his deal for another few months,so i can actually see him taking the belt off of Punk here,Daniel Bryan's been an utter failure as a heel IMO,with all this YES!YES! crap he makes himself look like a nerd losing his virginity to the high school prom queen,from what im hearing,expect Team Lauranitis to win,but when it comes time for the WWE draft,just what in the hell are they going to do,have Lauranitis represent both shows ?isnt that a conflict of interest?and the Orton/Kane match is nothing more than a throwaway match,it was put together at the last minute after Christian got crippled and they didnt have anyone else high up enough on the totem pole for Orton to feud with worth a damn

[gladdyontherise]

My predictions:

Cena over Rock *throws up*
Taker over HHH
Punk over Jericho
Team Teddy over Team Johnny *SMH*
Big Show over Rhodes *cringes*
Orton over Kane
Sheamus over Bryan *sigh*
Don't care about the Womens tag

[ucffans]

In regards to Daniel Bryan and his Vegan thing, that is getting pretty old and was pretty stupid to begin with.

Does anyone know anywhere on line to get any clips, updates, etc on Sunday night if you are not purchasing the PayPerView? My 7 year old is so excited about it, but I don't know if my wife will go for paying for it on PPV.

[tndcollectables]

I can see Rock winning then Cena smashing him with a chair. Rock then "retires" leaving the title vacant. Lesnar then comes back then there is the fued with Cena.
