Wrestlemania 25 matches and final prediction winners…

It is finally here. “Wrestlemania 25” is just around the corner, it’s this Sunday night on PPV. Here is the official “Wrestlemania 25” card with all of my winner predictions with it.

WWE Champion (headlining main event): Triple H vs. Randy Orton

Winner: Randy Orton

(Everyone wants Triple H to retain, but it ain’t going to happen. Randy Orton is a new star on the rise. On RAW last Monday night, Vince and Shane came back to confront Randy Orton and his group along with Triple H, the Legacy. This means that Vince McMahon and Shane will possibly be at Triple H’s side at the match at Wrestlemania when Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase Jr. interfere. Randy Orton will win this all the way.)

World Heavyweight Champion (Triple Threat Match): Edge vs. John Cena vs. Big Show

Winner: John Cena

(I think Wrestlemania 25 is going to be mostly heels winning, but to have a babyface win a match to keep the fans happy, I think Cena will be victorious at Wrestlemania this year. Reason? His new movie “12 Rounds” came out, with Cena as champ, it’ll be good promotion for the movie)

Intercontinental Champion: JBL vs. Rey Mysterio

Winner: JBL

(Mysterio and JBL had a non title singles match on RAW last night, Mysterio won, that’s proof, that JBL will be victorious)

Extreme Rules Match: Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy

Winner: Jeff Hardy

(This match will be a pretty damn good one, there will definitely be a lot of high flying and technical moves in this one. The Hardys has always been known to put on amazing matches when the two brothers are wrestling against each other. Jeff will be the winner of this one)

WWE Tag Team Champion vs. World Tag Team Champion (Unified Champ match): Carlito & Primo vs. John Morrison & The Miz

Winner: John Morrison & The Miz

(Who ever wins, the winner wins all the belts. John Morrison and the Miz will definitely be the winner of this one because they are rising stars, this will be their Wrestlemania moment)

Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker

Winner: Undertaker

(Undertaker will win every Wrestlemania until he retires, period)

Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Christian vs. CM Punk vs. Kane vs. Mark Henry vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Kofi Kingston vs. MVP vs. Finlay

Winner: Christian

(Christian just returned to the WWE after a long run in the TNA company. They will continue to push Christian to the top, so he can have a future feud with his former tag team partner, Edge, for a possible Edge & Christian reunion)

The 25 Diva Battle Royal

Winner: Maryse

(Everyone’s expecting Melina or Beth Phoenix to be the big winner, but to be put on a little surprise, I think Maryse will be victorious. Vince McMahon have been having the hots for Maryse behind the scenes of wrestling that he’s been pushing her and giving her lots of screen time. This will be Maryse’s Wrestlemania moment)

Chris Jericho vs. The WWE Legends w/Ric Flair in their corner

Winner: Chris Jericho

(There is no way Jericho is going to lose this. I still stand by it that Mickey will somehow turn on the Legends and team up with Jericho ’cause that’s what it’s looking like to me. We’ll wait to see what happens)

There are my winner predictions. Feel free to discuss or make your predictions.

Report: Afa the Wild Samoan training Mickey Rourke for Wrestlemania 25…

This article reports that Afa the Wild Samoan, who is Mickey Rourke’s trainer for the movie, “The Wrestler” is reuniting with Rourke for Wrestlemania 25. Does this mean that Afa is training Rourke for Wrestlemania 25? Does this mean that Mickey Rourke will do a lot more moves in the match with “Chris Jericho vs. The Legends” then punching in the face? That’s what its looking like, so I think Mickey Rourke will be part of the action with Jericho’s match this Sunday at Wrestlemania.

I’ll be posting my “Wrestlemania 25” winner predictions later today.

Report: Scott Hall to soon join the club of dead wrestlers?

TNA star Kevin Nash, who is also well known for his work in WCW and early WWE (he wrestled under the name of Diesel), and Nash is a well known member of the wrestling group, the nWo, speaks out on his longtime wrestling friend and partner, Scott Hall. If you don’t remember Scott Hall, he too was a member of the nWo along with Hulk Hogan. Hall also wrestled in WWE under the name of Razor Ramone back in the 80’s.

Scott Hall has been battling substance abuse and alcohol for many years, Kevin Nash says he still is. Is Hall about to join the club of dead wrestlers this year? I know it ain’t cool to predict death on someone but when it comes to wrestling after all the wrestlers that died of drugs and alcohol, I think that makes it okay to.

Report: John Cena challenges The Rock for “Wrestlemania 26″…

WWE superstar, and the leading star of the action film, “12 Rounds”, John Cena speaks out to MTV News, challenging the Rock to a main event match for “Wrestlemania 26” next year. John Cena may not get to wrestle the Rock for this year’s Wrestlemania but there’s always next. Will the Rock come back to WWE next year to accept John Cena’s challenge finally? The Rock vs. John Cena in a wrestling match never happened in WWE before. It’s a dream match that wrestling fans want. So please Dwayne, next year, take some time off from movies, and come back to WWE for a little while.

MTV Movies Blog reports:

http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2009/03/27/john-cena-wants-a-piece-of-the-rock-at-wrestlmania-xxvi/

Now that sounds like a good main event for next year’s Wrestlemania: The Rock vs. John Cena. I want to see that match too if it’ll ever happen.

My idea for main events for next year’s Wrestlemania:

The Rock vs. John Cena

Stone Cold vs. Hulk Hogan (another dream match that never happened)

Bret “The Hitman” Hart vs. HBK Shawn Michaels (a rematch that all wrestling fans are dying to see!!!)

The Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho (another dream match that never happened, Jericho is always picking on the legends of WWE, he’s never had a feud with the Undertaker yet, here’s hoping this will happen next year!)

Now, that sounds like a Wrestlemania!!! I doubt those matches would ever happen, but it’ll be nice.

Cool Video: Chris Jericho on TMZ, talks trash at Mickey Rourke some more, makes fun of Barack Obama…

TmZ catches up with WWE star Chris Jericho in NYC…it’s a good two minute video where TmZ asks him about Mickey Rourke and Barack Obama.

See this funny video here:

http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=226ed418-8ae7-4fe8-be88-79b3a27aaea0

Imagine walking the streets of NYC and suddenly you see Chris Jericho walk by. If that happened to me, I would have stopped him for an autograph and a picture taken with him.

Notice there are no crazy WWE fans stopping him for an autograph or a picture taken. I guess those Victoria, B.C. videos scared people off? People are afraid to meet Chris Jericho now and they should be!

I won’t be afraid to meet the guy.

BREAKING NEWS: Chris Jericho will not face charges against Victoria wrestling fans…

Everyone remembers the controversial youtube videos where Chris Jericho was caught getting into fights with young WWE fans outside of an arena in Victoria, B.C. after a RAW house show.

Chris Jericho, the profesional wrestler was accused of assault and starting the fight by calling an asian fan a bunch of racist names, and Chris was confronted by a bunch of angry WWE fans later. The videos showed Chris being angry at security, accusing them of not doing their jobs, while Chris is being assaulted by WWE fans and he attacked the fans in return for self defense. This incident happened after Chris was leaving the RAW house show for the evening.

Chris Jericho will not be charged with anything due to no evidence being proved. Even the videos in youtube couldn’t prove his guilt. The Victoria police already brought Jericho into questioning, not arrest him, but just questioning him.

Chris Jericho, is set to wrestle a match at Wrestlemania 25 against Roddy Piper, Ricky Steamboat, and Jimmy Snuka with Ric Flair in their corner. Mickey Rourke will be watching at ringside, and Rourke will somehow be in action too. Whether Rourke will help the Legends win and pound the hell out of Jericho or Rourke teams up with Jericho either way. Rourke will be there. Wrestlemania takes place on April 5th.

The Canadian Press reports:

Jericho catches a lucky break on this one. Now that I think about it, Jericho never did anything wrong. He was just a guy leaving a WWE show for the night and fans just wouldn’t let him leave. Stupid kids that obsess with wrestlers. As long as people are hating on Jericho for real, then he’s doing a great job being a heel character in the WWE. That’s the name of the game with the wrestling business folks. WWE doesn’t care if people hate on these wrestlers ’cause that’s what they are supposed to do. 🙂

Report: Interview with Vince McMahon…

New interview with Vince McMahon, chairman of the WWE, at the Hollywood Reporter. Vince talks about the business of WWE from merchandise, movies, music, Wrestlemania 25, foreign wrestlers from other countries joining the WWE, etc.

Read the interview here:

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/features/interviews_profiles/e3i4f087b1aeac6f008ce7e043061b71c40?pn=1

Is Vince McMahon going to be involved in some type of match at Wrestlemania? I’ve been reading reports through wrestling websites, that the entire McMahon family: Vince, Shane, Linda and Steph will all have a match together in the McMahon family feud…but looks like the McMahon family feud storyline has been dropped…RAW has started a McMahon family feud for a little bit but it stopped for some reason. Not sure if they’ll still have the match at Wrestlemania or not.

I don’t think any of the McMahon’s will be involved at Wrestlemania this year…look like they’ll let the superstars have their time at Wrestlemania.

————————————————————————

This official card for Wrestlemania 25, does NOT feel like Wrestlemania. Pretty dissapointing and sad since this is the 25th Anniversary of Wrestlemania. No Stone Cold, No Rock, No Bret “The Hitman” Hart, etc???? If Wrestlemania 25 had some of the past legends and icons at this year’s Wrestlemania, then it would feel like a Wrestlemania.

This years Wrestlemania feels like your typical RAW/Smackdown show. Wrestlemania doesn’t feel exciting this year. Doesn’t look good. Only matches I look forward to seeing is, “Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels”, and the “Chris Jericho vs. Piper, Steamboat, Snuka”. The other matches sound pretty boring to me, but I’ll still watch “Wrestlemania 25” on PPV of course. Hopefully it’ll be good, but this years looks like a dissapointment.

Wrestlemania thought: Will Mickey Rourke help Chris Jericho win the match against the Legends at ‘mania 25? Brock here thinks so…

Everybody thinks that Mickey Rourke will interfere the “Chris Jericho vs. Piper, Steamboat, Snuka” match to help the Legends win, but hate to burst your bubble, wrestling fans, but I don’t think how that’s gonna end. To keep the  match unpredictable and shocking, I think there’ll be a little bit of a twist to it.

Could Rourke actually turn into a badguy, and maybe team up with Jericho? Rourke turns his back on the Legendary wrestlers and sticks by Jericho’s side?

There is NO fucking way, Chris Jericho is going to lose this match. I mean think about it. Jericho has got Piper, Steamboat, and Snuka all against him, possibly Ric Flair to join in on the action too, so that makes it 4 against one. It doesn’t make sense that Jericho could battle all those guys by himself, so it makes sense that Jericho is going to get some help.

I can’t think of no one other than Mickey Rourke to help Jericho win the match. Yes, Rourke will interfere, the WWE will make it look like that Rourke is about ready to punch Jericho, but instead, Rourke knocks out one of the other legends in the match. Creating controversy that’ll get the crowd booing.

Why would Jericho want to lose to a bunch of legends at ‘Mania? Jericho is a top star. Rourke turns heel and helps Jericho. WWE loves this kind of stuff.

This is not a match spoiler, it’s just a prediction that’s all it is. Feel free to write in your thoughts on this.

Triple H vs. Randy Orton for the “WWE Champion” is the headlining main event for that evening. Other matches include, Triple Threat Championship match with John Cena vs. Big Show vs. Edge… The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels HBK… Chris Jericho vs. Rowdy Roddy Piper, Ricky The Dragon Steamboat, Jimmy Snuka with Ric Flair in their corner (also a possible Mickey Rourke interference)… The Money In the Bank Ladder Match… The 25 Diva Battle Royal… Rey Mysterio vs. JBL… and more matches to be announced soon.
