There are alot of matches on this particular card where I can safely say it's real even, and I am expecting nothing less from the 25th Anniversary of Wrestlemania than a show that everyone will talk about for a very long time, or at least until the Apocalypse comes.  I see alot of instant classics here, and alot of DVD buys later this Spring.

Predicted match order:

1:  John Morrison & The Miz v. Carlito & Primo - Tag Team Unification Lumberjack Title Match

2:  Chris Jericho v. Piper, "Superfly", and Steamboat - 3 on 1 Elimination Handicap match

3:  Money in the Bank Ladder Match

4:  JBL v. Rey Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championship

5:  Matt Hardy v. Jeff Hardy in their Extreme Rules match

6:  The 25-Diva "Miss Wrestlemania" Battle Royale

7:  Shawn Michaels v. The Undertaker

8:  World Heavyweight Championship 3-way match

9:  WWE Championship

WWE CHAMPIONSHIP:  This can go either way, and it won't be surprising, to me, if the stipulations are changed before or during the match.  I personally would've liked it if this was a Street Fight because there are lots of X-Factors here in The Legacy & The McMahons.  A sledgehammer could also come into play here.  Either way, I see the winner finishing the match with either a vicious Punt, a Sledgehammer strike, or a Pedigree.  Any particular twists can and will alter the outcome.

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP:  I'm so 33/33/33 on this one, because this is a Triple Threat match, and that means No Disqualification.  Vickie & Chavo could play a role in this, so the referee in charge of this one will have to have eyes on his back.  I do see a KO Punch, a Spear from Edge, or a Throwback/AA finishing this match.  Narrow nod to Cena, though, because of the extra incentive between Edge & Show could be costly to both of them.

THE STREAK V. MR. WRESTLEMANIA:  I see this one being an epic 20-30 min. match, with see-saw battles to the very end.  Expect the 70k crowd to be divided over this, and plenty of chanting and cheers throughout this match.  I'm 50/50 on this one because I feel that it'll take at least 1 Superkick for HBK to end the streak.  Shawn must be careful not to get too complacent after landing a superkick, because Taker does have his Hell's Gate submission move.  Just ask Edge about last year.  I see this match ending with a 2nd or 3rd Sweet Chin Music, or Hell's Gate being used, and I won't cry if Taker goes 16-1.

MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH:  My order of preference:  1) Christian, 2) Kofi Kingston, 3) MVP, 4) Kane, 5) CM Punk, 6) Finlay, 7) Shelton Benjamin, 8) Mark Henry.  Let's just hope the ladders and the ring itself is still intact after this one.

BROTHER V. BROTHER:  I'm 50/50 on this one too, because there's so much to take into account.  I would like to see either Hardy finish with a Twist of Fate or a Swanton Bomb off the top of a ladder.

THE 25-DIVA BATTLE ROYALE:  My top 5 preference, based on who's known to be in the field:  1) Victoria, 2) Beth Phoenix, 3) Mickie James, 4) Gail Kim, 5) Melina.  I am hoping that Santino gets thrown out immediately, much like his 1.9 second run in the Royal Rumble this year.  What I would really like to see, and I hope it happens, is TRISH STRATUS making a surprise appearance and be the last Diva left in the ring.  Mae Young making an appearance won't surprise me either.

JERICHO V. THE LEGENDS:  Chris Jericho will have alot to handle with 3 legends in the ring, Ric Flair outside the ring, and Mickey Rourke sitting ringside.  Don't be surprise to see Jericho try to drag Rourke into the ring, or hit him physically.  Flair could also take shots at Jericho too, especially a low blow.  I see Piper take advantage of a Ric Flair/Mickey Rourke distraction and get the pin via roll-up.

INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP:  50/50 here between Layfield and Rey.  I am hoping for Rey to win legitimately via a 619/Springboard combo, instead of JBL retaining, then announcing his retirement from wrestling...again.

TAG TEAM UNIFICATION LUMBERJACK MATCH:  50/50 here too, and I see the winners finishing with either a Backstabber from Carlito, or Moonlight Drive from John Morrision.  Narrow nod to Team Dirt Sheet.
