Botched Spot

Wrestlemania 26 is probably the first Wrestlemania in a while where I’ve been looking forward to all of the matches (except one). They’ve crammed a lot in there and seem to have gotten almost all of their wrestlers involved somehow without having any battle royals or lumberjack matches or anything. I think it’ll be a good show that’s had a lot of good build up to matches, more so than previous years, and I look forward to seeing if it all pays off. So… here are predictions!

Black Magic and The White Shadow vs. ShowMiz
I’ve always been a fan of both Morrison and the Miz (except when Miz was doing his Host of Smackdown/ Diva Search host thing) and while I’m looking forward to this match, I have to admit I would like to see them both pursue singles careers rather than go back to tag teams. I think ShowMiz will win though, as they are slightly less thrown together than Truth and Wisdom (or whatever they’re called).

CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio
I love CM Punk’s Straight Edge Society gimmick, but I don’t think Mysterio’s the perfect opponent in a character sense to fight Punk, at least in the way Jeff Hardy was. I think they’ll still have a good match and I think it’ll be used to push Punk’s character further rather than end it, so I see Punk winning.

Money in the Bank Ladder Match
I think there are too many guys in this match, and the majority do not seem like legitimate title contenders right now (in a character/ storyline sense, not necessarily skill). These are always fun matches though and I’m sure that even if guys like Evan Bourne don’t have a chance of winning, they’ll still pull off cool spots with ladders. I see Kofi, Christian, or Drew McIntyre winning, and out of them I think Drew has the best shot, mainly because he’s been talking of the importance of it the most with all of his qualifying matches.

Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase vs. Cody Rhodes
I feel like this feud peaked about three months ago. The most interesting part of it to me isn’t who wins, but if Randy Orton will be booked as a face considering how much he gets cheered over Ted and Cody. I think Ted will win, but a few years from now everyone will remember it being Randy.

Bret Hart vs. Vince McMahon
I can’t imagine any way that Bret would agree to this match if Vince would win. While Bret certainly hasn’t looked his best on RAW since his return, I think they’ll still have some fun going on in this match. Taking it for what it is, I’m sure it’ll be good.

Triple H vs. Sheamus
This is the one match I don’t really care about. I guess Triple H will win.

World Heavyweight Title match: Edge vs. Jericho
I love Edge. He is my all time favorite wrestler. But honestly, the spear chanting is really starting to bug me. He’s great on his own, so I don’t understand why they need to make such a big deal out of his finisher. My head tells me Jericho will most likely win, but I can’t ever predict against Edge, so…. Spear.

Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker
I don’t see Undertaker’s streak ever ending, and if it does end, I don’t think it’ll be by anyone as close to retirement as Shawn. After seeing Ric Flair pop back up in TNA it’s hard to take retirements too seriously, and I hope this isn’t really HBK’s last match.

WWE Title match: Batista vs. Cena
I feel like the build to this has been fast, but effective, and both these guys seem to impress in big matches. I think Cena will win to close the show on a high note.

Random Divas match?
Beth Phoenix, whether she’s in a singles match/ tag team or other.
