Wrestlemania Predictions!
My Wrestlemania Predictions

This Sunday, we will see Wrestlemania 20, which seems to have a few decent outings lined up, but lacks the big star-quality matches that separate it from every other PPV. All will be forgiven by me if Hulk Hogan does show up, but if not, the show is not worth the 50$ price tag. But, since I can't bear to miss out on Wrestle-Freakin'-Mania, I'm ordering the show. I have faith WWE will deliver at least a few big surprises, like last year, NOBODY knew Roddy Piper was going to show, so I'll try to stay positive. Now, let's look at the card, and I'll give my predictions.

Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg- Stone Cold Steve Austin is special guest referee
I say this is more than likely the REAL main event, despite how many matches WWE can pimp as a main event, the lat match of the show is the true one. I really couldn't give a crap about this, Brock & Goldberg suck, and Austin is pretty limited in this role. I'd bet the farm on Brock to win, Goldberg is on his way out of WWE.
*Prediction* Brock Lesnar, with Austin stunning each guy at some point.

World title match: Triple-H(c) vs Shawn Michaels vs Chris Benoit
Say what you will about HHH, he is gonna give it his all here, and him and HBK have a great chemistry. This is actually looking really good to me, with no clear cut winner, you can make a strong case for each guy. Less though for Benoit, with Backlash being held in his hometown or Edmonton Alberta Canada, he might win the gold there instead. Then again, he could always be the champ coming home, but if I was booking, I'd hold off for the epic hometown title win, and rumored return of Bret Hart that would cause the wrestling world to shit it's collective pants. HHH is probably going to be gone for movie roles, so HBK is the most likely winner from my vantage point. I also want to note that I'd love to see this as the real main event.
*Prediction* Shawn Michaels

The Dead Man Rises: The Undertaker (old school Undertaker no less) vs Kane
It's been practically confirmed that `Taker will show up with old manager Paul Bearer, who at last sight, was at odds with `Taker, and Kane is his son. That aside, there is absolutely NO POSSIBLE WAY `Taker is losing, and his `Mania undefeated streak will be 12-0.
*Prediction* The Undertaker, and in mere minutes

WWE title match: Eddie Guerrero(c) vs Kurt Angle
Should be good, and Eddie is just getting started, so he's like a 100% lock to win.
*Prediction* Eddie Guerrero

Playboy Evening Gown match: Torrie Wilson & Sable vs Miss Jackie & Stacy Kiebler
If this goes more than 3 minutes, I'll be pissed, it's HUGE waste of time, and the chances for actual nudity are slim here.
*Prediction* Miss Jackie & Stacy Kiebler, hopefully ending this issue nobody cares about

WWE U.S. title match: Big Show(c) vs John Cena
Show could be awesome if he got into the shape he was in early on in his WCW career, and Cena is being groomed for big things, so he's a lock here. For the record, I don't get the big deal with Cena, I think his gimmick is lame, but he has real potential.
*Prediction* John Cena

The Cruiserweight Open: Battle royal for the Cruiserweight title, with Chavo Guerrero(c), Rey Mysterio & others
It could be good, but it's obvious anyone other than Chavo or Rey are only filler. I say Rey wins.
*Prediction* Rey Mysterio

Handicap match: The Rock & Mick Foley (Rock `N Sock Connection) vs Evolution's Ric Flair, Randy Orton & Batista
I don't like Rock & Sock, or Randy Orton on the other team for that matter, but despite my better judgement, I say the heels will win, since they could use the rub from part-timers like Foley & Rock. But, if WWE's age old "person who gets the last shot in before the PPV loses", Rock `N Sock will win.
*Prediction* Ric Flair, Randy Orton, & Batista

WWE Women's title match: Victoria(c) vs Molly Holly- If Molly loses, she gets her head shaved
Victoria rules, but Molly ain't losing her hair.
*Prediction* Molly Holly

Christian vs Chris Jericho
Vitamin C EXPLODE! Sorry, easy joke, but it reeks of the Mega Powers feud. Jericho is another lock to win, since he is the Hogan, and Christian is in the evil Macho Man role. The faces always win in the big Wrestlemania match.
*Prediction* Chris Jericho, and Trish finally professes her love to him

World Tag Team title match: RVD & Booker T(c) vs La Resistance vs The Dudley Boys vs Jindrak & Cade
RVD & Booker just won the titles, and debuted a fusion theme of their singles entrance songs, they are probably going to be around a bit longer.
*Prediction* RVD & Booker T

WWE Tag Team title match: Scotty 2 Hotty & Rikishi vs APA vs WGTT vs The Basham Brothers
This will SUCK. I hope the only good team here, WGTT (the World's Greatest Tag Team) win the gold. I must also point out Rikishi (when he isn't shoving his ass in people's faces and wearing thongs) & Faarooq are cool, but on their own.
*Prediction* WGTT

Other Happenings: The Hall of Fame inductees better get their moment to wave to the MSG fans, the house THEY (most of them) helped build. I'm looking forward to seeing how the MSG fans will respond, since they can say thanks to these greats. I just hope that Piper & Hogan might show up at some point, and I guarantee the roof would blow right off the Garden, and the show would be more than worth the hefty price.

That's all for now, check back after Wrestlemania, sometime Monday where you'll see my recap and thoughts of the show.
