It's the biggest event for fans of the WWE. The Superbowl for WWE fans. Nothing can describe the awe and spectacle that plays when Wrestlemania goes live to the millions of wrestling fans worldwide. From Hulk Hogan body slamming Andre the Giant to John Cena winning an upset over Shawn Michaels, Wrestlemania is the biggest, best, and most unpredictable event that the WWE has to offer. These are my Wrestlemania 24 predictions:
ECW Championship: Chavo Guerrero (c) vs. TBD
The winner of the pre-show interpromotional battle royal will go on to face Chavo Guerrero.
Winner: TBD. I think the winner of the battle royal, regardless of who it is, will win the championship. Chavo has had it for a while and I think that the championship will switch hands.
Belfast Brawl: Finlay vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield
Winner: Finlay. Why? Because his name is Finlay and he loves to fight.
Playboy BunnyMania Lumberjack match: Maria and Ashley vs. Beth Phoenix and Melina
Winner: Maria and Ashley. I think Maria has lost enough and it's time for her to win.
Winner: Maria and Ashley. I think Maria has lost enough and it's time for her to win.
Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels
Winner: Shawn Michaels. It has been said this would be Ric Flair's last match forever. Not to mention, the man is nearing an age where it would be impossible to wrestle like he used to. Granted, he's a legend, but all good things must come to an end. It will definitely be an emotional match for all WWE fans.
Umaga vs. Batista
Winner: Umaga. Umaga is in need of a push. Rumor has it, that he is going to be moved to Smackdown to feud with Undertaker. It would be important for Umaga to win so that his push would be more believable. Umaga is also an underrated talent. He's a super heavyweight yet can move faster than some middleweight guys. This should definitely be a powerhouse match.
No Disqualification match: Floyd "Money" Mayweather vs. The Big Show
Winner: Floyd "Money" Mayweather. First off, I don't want Mayweather to win. I don't know how this guy is as a boxer, but in the world of sports entertainment, he is awful. Mayweather has delivered some of the worst promos I have ever seen. I don't think his in-ring skills will be the most fine tuned. Unfortunately, though he will win regardless, even though I am hoping Big Show wins, I know it won't happen.
Money in the Bank ladder match: Mr. Kennedy vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Chris Jericho vs. Carlito vs. Montel Vontavious Porter vs. CM Punk vs. John Morrison
Winner: Chris Jericho. This is a tough one. No doubt if Jeff Hardy hadn't been suspended he would be the winner. But looking at the participants, with the exception of Y2J and Kennedy, none of them has gave me an inkling they have a chance to win. Kennedy has already won the Money in the Bank already, as well, he will be shooting a movie. I think with those odds added up, it will go to Y2J.
World Heavyweight Championship: Edge (c) vs. The Undertaker
Winner: The Undertaker. 15-0 will now be 16-0. Wrestlemania is the Undertaker's show and it's time for him to finally get a championship that he will hopefully not lose in the course of a few months.
Triple Threat match for the WWE Championship: Randy Orton (c) vs. Triple H vs. John Cena
Winner: Triple H. I really hope Randy Orton somehow retains the championship. But I don't think it will happen. At first, I thought John Cena would win, but then a friend of mine reminded me he was filming an upcoming movie. It it hadn't been for that, Cena would be the winner. I do wish I am wrong and hope Randy Orton retains the championship. Hunter and Cena have had their taste of gold numerous times and I wish Orton would be given a chance to keep the championship at least for a few more months.
