Man, I haven't been NOT excited for a Wrestlemania like this since 27. It is a question of who should win versus who will win.
John Cena Vs. The Rock II - Just like last year, but miles improved. All the corny jokes dropped and the title involved. This is where it matters most. This rematch will surpass last year's. There will not be a heel turn. And Cena will defeat Rock with the **** winning the biggest match of his career along with the WWE Championship in front of a much bigger crowd than Miami. Aside from Cena not embracing the hate, I'm glad it worked out this way. It was for the better.
Alberto Del Rio Vs. Jack Swagger - The Essence Of Excellence has done a great job so far as World Heavyweight Champion and I hope he makes the undeserving Swagger tap out to the Cross Armbreaker. However, much damage will be done to Del Rio's ankle and Dolph Ziggler will cash in to take advantage of it. The Show Off will then walk out of New Jersey World Heavyweight Champion. Maybe even double champion.
CM Punk Vs.
The Undertaker - Like HBK, expect Punk to kick out out of 8 finishers. I hope Undertaker makes him tap out to Hell's Gate. Then CM will be beaten so bad, so decisively, he will be the one wheeled out on a stretcher for desecrating the honor of The Dead Man's former mentor.
Brock Lesnar Vs.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley - I expect blood to be shed in this otherwise it will not be very good like how we saw with him and Undertaker in Atlanta, which was coincidentally also No Holds Barred. I expect a sledgehammer shot, a Superkick from HBK, and The Pedigree to take down Lesnar, but its Lesnar's return match at Wrestlemania and since he's the bigger draw, he should go over as Triple H has nothing much to offer at this point in his career. Maybe Shawn will do us all a favor and kick his buddy in the face and cost him the match for old time's sake.
The Shield Vs. Team Sheamus Again - Don't care since we got a better match with them at last month's PPV. I am getting tired of Shield winning though.
Ryback Vs. Henry - Goldberg Vs. Lesnar, but 10x worse. Expect Cowboy Skip to botch the Shellshock.
Bryan & Kane Vs. Ziggler & Langston - It would be tremendous if Dolph the tag titles, but Team Hell No will retain to make up for screwing over American Dragon last year.
Jericho Vs.
Fandango - I've seen Curtis' work on NXT and he simply isn't that good yet he's taking on the former 6-time world champion in his very first match. He isn't worthy of such a win especially at WWE's biggest show, but then again, Jericho's lost so many times now that getting a win over him nowadays is almost meaningless. I hope this will be shades of WM 23 where an arrogant rookie named MVP showcased his talent to the world only to lose in great fashion to the veteran. With that said, Fandango's music is so damn catchy to. Win, lose, or draw, Fandango better impress the sh** out of me on Sunday night.
Tons of Funk Vs. Rhodes Scholars - Double splash for the win. Is it wrong I like A-Train better as a face now? It adds dimensions to his character.
Miz Vs. Barrett - Miz will win because they've botched Wade's pushes so much I almost want to give up on the guy because creative doesn't have a clue on how to handle the former leader of Nexus. Defeating the guy who won the main event of Wrestlemania 27 would be a step in the right direction.
I think this Wrestlemania will turn out to be terrible, but then again, WWE proved me wrong before with XXII.
On the whole HBK and Austin returning to the ring talk, IMO both should stay retired, both guys went out at Mania against classic rivals. Enough looking backwards, lets get the next batch of stars out in front.
Hard to make stars when you don't make them.
It was cool Austin lost to Rock, but Rock was already established. Stone Cold should've just sucked it up and job to Lesnar. Even Hogan put over Brock.
And what good did Michaels do by losing to Undertaker? Not a damn thing.
