The Broncos have decided NOT to trade their cry baby QB Jay Cutler and just cut him.  Cutler will be joining WWE and will be a participant in the Dival Battle Royal since Cutler is acting like a Diva.

Ok, you got me, APRIL FOOL'S.  LOL

Hey, if WWE can pull a joke like the Vickie Pregnancy bit, so can I. :) 

 I also would like to wish Randy Orton, who is one of my favorites, a HAPPY 29TH BIRTHDAY. WOW. He is getting up there. :)  He still looks hot.  :)  Happy Birthday man!

Got big news! The Denver Broncos have decided NOT to trade cry baby QB Jay Cutler, but they are gonna cut him and Cutler will join the WWE!!! He will also make an appearance at Mania and be a participant in  the Diva Battle Royal since he is acting like a diva.

Ok, you all got me: APRIL FOOL'S.  LOL

Hey, if WWE can pull a joke like the Vickie Pregnancy bit, so can I. :) 

 I leave for Houston tomorrow and I am very excited about it.

Also: HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the "LEGEND KILLER"

Well, the buid to this PPV has been not too good.  Silly stuff like the love triangle and ****. 

Anyway, I will be in attendance for my SIXTH Wrestlmania in a row.  I will leaving Thurs and will start my festivities at Axxess on Thurs (Cena and Mysterio are the highlighted guests) and then Friday night (HBK, HHH and EDGE are gonna be there. So can not wait.) I then go to the HOF Sat Night.  Then the grandaddy of them all: MANIA.

Here are my predictions:

HHH (c) vs Orton for the WWE Title

Buildup has been up and down for this.  You would think ORton would win. However I do not like the stip.  It seems like HHH could lose without doing the job. Does not help ORton to win like that, IMO.

Prediction: With the exception of one match, this match and the others are too close to call.

A baby face winning the title usually end Mania (with the exception of 2000 when HHH won as a heel) to give the crowd a "happy ending."  It depends on what they do with match placement and what happens in the Triple threat (I have a sick feeling I know what will happen there).  If this is the final match, I do not know......I have a hard time believe a mega heel like Orton winning would be the happy ending they want.   They could do a swerve where Stephanie turns on her hubby.  They could do a double turn ala Hart/Austin at Mania 13 and have Orton wind up the babyface and HHH turn heel (I Have been PRAYING for HHH to be heel again).  With the way this match has been booked, anything can happen. This should be a very good match.

Prediction: Depending on the three way, I think HHH retains.

HBK vs the Undertaker: Mr. wrestlemania vs The Streak.  Well, this is the only match that has a feel of Mania to it.  It should be a great match and should steal the show. Great buildup too. It will be interesting to see who the crowd favors in this match.  They will be torn, as will I  as I love them both.

Prediction: Unfortunately for my all time favorite wrestler, The Heartbreak Kid, this match is going to the Undertaker. 

Edge (c) vs Big Show and John Cena: This match is the wild card.  Edge, unfortunately for me and millions of Edgeheads, is once again taking some time off.  I am thinking with his new shirt being released, it may not be as long as before, but we will see. He is nursing knee injuries amongst others. I am also nursing a knee issue so we will both need some rest. I will be awaiting his return though.  John Cena is also supposed to be doing a movie in June or July so he could have a short reign if they decide to put the belt on him.  Show does not belong in this match. Period.

That being said, I do think this could be a good match, despite the silly love triangle.  Edge always puts on a great show in a big match situation.  Cena can put on a good show if he wants to.  Show should be used as little as possible.

Prediction: I just think it would be a mistake to put the belt on Show, who loses ALOT.  I think John Cena will walk out of the PPV as Champion.  If this goes before HHH/Orton, maybe Big Show, but I am pretty confident that Cena is winning this puppy.

Women's Battle Royal:  I do not care one iota who wins this probable mess. 

Prediction: Pick a name any name. LOL  I will say, for the heck of it, Gail Kim.  Got no idea and could not care less

MITB Ladder match: The way it is booked, it seems like no one cares about these guys.  I think it could be better than people think despite Kane and Mark Henry being in there.  There is enough workers to make this a passable match to a good match.

Prediction: I am just guessing here. Christian takes this match.

Jeff vs Matt Hardy:  Paint by the numbers feud between two people that no one wants to see feud.  Went too far with the dog, but what else is new? Should be a very good match.

Prediction: Jeff wins this match.

Tag Team Unification Match (Lumberjack): Colons vs Miz and Morrison: Feud is so so.  I am not feeling this match. Could be good. 

Winners: I will say Miz and Morrison take this bout.

IC Title Match between JBL (c) and Rey Mysterio.  This was just put together and I think it could be decent.

Prediction: JBL wins and retires as champ in his homestate of Texas.

Y2J vs a bunch of legends who should stay retired, er Piper, Steamboat, and Super Fly Snuka.  Flair is in the corner of the legends.  This is gonna be a clusterfudge (can't say what I really want due to the censors).  Plain and simple. Poor Jericho. He deserves way better than this.  He has to eliminate each one to win.  I have a feeling Flair and Mickey Rourke who is supposed to be in attendance are getting involved. 

Prediction: Head is thinking Legends. Heart is saying Jericho. I am going with the heart (Jericho).  I am pulling for Jericho.

I am pretty sure that is the entire card.

The card could wind up being better than it is on paper. IT is just the buildup is horrible.  Also sad to see WWE lowering ticket prices.  I predict about 700,000 buys worldwide for this PPV.

I am sure you all know that Tazz is no longer with the WWE. He will be on SMackdown this Friday for the last time.  I enjoyed his work, both as a wrestler and as commentator.  I will miss him. I have met Tazz and he is very cool. Good luck Tazz. God Bless

Will type up a report when I get back Monday. Take care and enjoy Wrestlemania!!

Here is my review of the "go home" Raw before Mania:

Show was just ok. Not great as a "go home" show though.

Good:  Edge/Cena promo.  Edge's post match beatdown.  Chris Jericho's promo (post match). Santino's act (hilarious). Nice to see Vince return.

Bad:  Diva battle royal.  The match with the MITB participants. Orton's promo....sorry, I love my boy Orton, but the promo was putting me to sleep.  Vince Mahon beating a younger guy up.  Cena vs Show. The stipulation for Orton/HHH.  I do suspect, and I love Hunter but this sounds like a way for HHH to lose without doing the job.  I hope it is a swerve.  Would be a horrible way to finish a match and the PPV as I am guessing this match will go on last.

The build up to the PPV has not been great.  I would be surprised if the PPV gets 800,000 buys.

Smackdown this past week was just ok.  I wasn't happy with the Matt promo with the dog. The R Truth match was about the best match on the show.  Cena/Show promo was ok. The MITB 8 man tag was ok.  Still don't care about the match at Mania.  Diva match was just there. I was not a fan of Gail Kim's before , and I am not now.  No HHH or Edge on the show. (Edge won the dark match at the taping) I know that they were selling their beatdowns on Raw, but I thought the show was boring without them. JMO

There will be a Wrestlemania 25 press conference on March 31st at 12 noon at the Hard Rock Cafe.  In attendance will be Edge, HHH, HBK, The Big Show amongst others.
