Wrestlemania Predictions, Part Two.

My Previous predictions were based in the WWE Universe, these predictions come from a completely better world, Kynkys Universe, where i'm not tied to the rules of backstage politics or even Booking 101. Not to be confused with Russo's Rules. Also i don't have to comply by WWE's lineup and can tweak the show into my own twisted vision.

I present my predictions for what WrestleMania 26 should be

Dark Match: NXT Elimination Match: Winner Gets 10th Spot In MITB: Darren Young vs. Daniel Bryan vs. David Otunga vs. Heath Slater vs. Justin Gabriel vs. Michael Tarver vs. Skip Sheffield vs. Wade Barrett.

1. Triple H vs. Sheamus

2. Money In The Bank Ladder Match: Kane vs. Evan Bourne vs. MVP vs. Christian vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Jack Swagger vs. Matt Hardy vs. Drew McIntyre.

3. Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase vs. Cody Rhodes

4. Womens/Divas Title Match: Tag Team Rules: Maryse(c) & Michelle McCool(c) vs. Gail Kim & Mickie James.

5. Unified Tag Team Title Match: Mizshow(c) vs. John Morrison & R-Truth vs. Crymetyme vs. Hart Dynasty.

6. No Holds Barred Match: Vince McMahon vs. Bret Hart

7. WWE Title Match: Batista(c) vs. John Cena

8. Hair vs. Mask: CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio

9. Streak vs. Career: The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels

10. World Heavyweight Title Match: Chris Jericho(c) vs. Edge


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dark Match: Winner Daniel Bryan qualifies for MITB.

1. Nobody would expect this to be the match that starts the show proper(politics and all) but realistically opening the show with a main event calibre star in Triple H is what the event needs, and even though the reuslt is the same in any universe a Face victory is a great way to kick things Off. Triple H via pedigree.

2. Daniel Bryan doesnt win. Thanks to interference from The Miz who mouths off that he hasnt earnt his opportunity (all for their eventual feud when NXT V1 is over), i would really like to see Shelton Benjamin win, or a re-gimmicked Kane, but it has to be Christian as he's the only one that shows main event potential. Will be a car crash and i can see Bourne doing something silly off a tall ladder, likewise Benjamin. Winner Christian.

3. Ted Dibiase and Cody Rhodes are accompianied to the ring by their Hall Of Fame fathers, whilst Orton comes out on his own. Orton playing the tweener will look as if he's got it won until interference from the Million Dollar Man, which costs him the victory to Ted DiBiase.

4. Both titles can change hands with one pin fall. However with the amount of title changes too frequent in the WWE Universe, i would keep the titles where they are, for the moment at least. Winners McCool/Maryse.

5. Mizshow to lose the titles to Morrison/R-Truth thanks to Daniel Bryan getting involved at ringside.

6. Bret Hart with a Sharp Shooter. 100%

7. Batista to destroy Cena, with a pure powerhouse performance. Winner within 5 minutes, Batista.

8. Double Countout After 10 Minutes. Which would leave both Punk to lose his hair and Rey to lose his mask. Teddy Long comes out and restarts the match with a falls count anywhere stipulation, Punk & Rey battle through the crowd and in the back. Rey wins and shaves off sections of Punks beard, part of his chest hair and cuts off some of his hair.

9. The Undertaker wins, in a BLOODY brawl and hits Michaels with all 4 of his finishers, before hitting a tombstone piledriver on the stage for the win. Michaels retirement show for RAW the next night.

10. Just as the match is about to start Christians music hits and he announces that he will cash in his title opportunity. NOW. Making it a triple threat match. Edge & Christian double team, Jericho for most parts of the match, until it looks like Edge is going to win, only to be broken up by Christian. Jericho takes advantage of this to get back into the match, Christian goes for the win only to be stopped by Edge. Edge spears Christian to pick up the title.

Wrestlemania Predictions, Part One.

WWE Universe Predictions. Confirmed Matches as of 17/3

Predicted Running Order

1. Money In The Bank Ladder Match: Kane vs. Evan Bourne vs. MVP vs. Christian vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Jack Swagger vs. Matt Hardy vs. Drew McIntyre.

2. Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase vs. Cody Rhodes

3. Triple H vs. Sheamus

4. Unified Tag Team Title Match: Mizshow(c) vs. John Morrison & R-Truth

5. No Holds Barred Match: Vince McMahon vs. Bret Hart

6. World Heavyweight Title Match: Chris Jericho(c) vs. Edge

7. Streak vs. Career: The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels

8. WWE Title Match: Batista(c) vs. John Cena

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. This looks as if WWE are pushing new talent, but it's obvious from the contenders who will win, the only realistic winner and main event level performer is Christian (Kane, MVP have all been far to stale and i could not see either of them challenging for a title). Winner is Christian and will most likely cash in his title shot against either Jericho or Edge, possibly both, Canadian 3 way.

2. Randy Orton wins as he continues his downward spiral towards babyfacedom.

3. Sheamus gets the HHH rub, but at the cost of being decimated, Triple H to win clean.

4. The part time partnership of Morrison & Truth (The Rock & Rap Connection!) will surely not be allowed to blossom as a tandem in the way Mizshow has, so i expect the belts to stay where they are.

5. Bret Hart with a sharp shooter. 100%

6. Not all the faces can win their matches and as it pans out i guess Edge will be the one to miss out, Jericho to retain by screwy finish.

7. Last years classic, if overlong match will probably not be bettered considering the extra 12 months of wear and tear that both have suffered so the shortcut rule of making it a no DQ match allows for all sorts of shenanigans. i still expect The Undertaker to win as it's been rumoured that Michaels has wanted to go out for a while.

8. Hopefully i'm wrong and this doesnt go on last, but as Mania history has shown us, the WWE title mostly ends up with the face by the end of the show, so i expect that Cena will defeat Big Dave.

The more things change, the more they stay the same

that's pretty much the state of wrestling in 2010.

WWE appear to be booking younger fresher guys in the top spots, but really all that's happening is the old regime are beating newer talent, whilst tna thinks that the only way to compete with WWE is to ditch everything that got it anywhere for a dated WCW approach using WWE cast offs...

oh and WWE is still rated PG, and won't allow blood on it's shows or PPVs....

I'm back. As you can see i'm still every bit as disheartened with the state of the business as i was when i last blogged about it way back when, but now as it's coming up to 'Mania i'm at least a little bit excited about some potential clash of the year contenders and a couple of major storylines.

I shall return with a new post in the next few days, and also a revamp to the blog, it looks so 2009 at the moment, i know that's in right now but i want things to change.
