But they'll throw together that crap mixed tag team match a week before Mania, a match that I would dread watching on a normal show, let alone a PPV, let alone WM. It's like the WWE always has to throw in a half star match and take the spot away from deserving guys that could make a 3 to 4 star match at the very least.

I'm not sure why you changed your predictions on this one to Orton, Sheamus and Show. I can't see them winning at all. I expect this to finally set off an Orton heel turn (or at least the beginning of it), with him getting in a conflict with Sheamus after the match or something. At least that's what should happen.

Sorry for the double post but also have to comment on the other prediction. Sorry to say for all the HHH fans out there, but this is going to be his last match. I heard that HHH had said himself it will be because he is trying to focus more on the business aspect of the WWE so that when Vince passes away he will be able to take over more efficiently. He hasn't showed up in nearly a year, so he's just come back to leave on a good note at WM.

Yeah, it's obvious that Lesnar will win, although it'll be one hell of a match. Trips has to have an official retirement match so he can focus on the company.

I am really on the fence as to whether Punk breaks the streak or not; it depends entirely on if Taker thinks he's gone far enough with 20-0 & wants to take things easy before he ends up completely falling apart.

I'm also really on the fence on if Swagger wins the WHT or not. They've continued to push him quite a bit; I wonder if my earlier theory was correct? Sometimes it's REALLY hard to know what exactly goes through Vince & co.'s minds......

Sorry to hear about Ric's son; that's way too young to go. My sincerest condolences to the Flairs.

I expect both those guys to leave it all in the ring, if a guy like HHH is going to retire his last match is going to be an epic (or at least they will try to make it an epic). I'm expecting a pretty good match. We'll see how it plays out.

The streak will never end. Period.

Doubt it. He's built up so much heel heat to the point where when he loses it will be a huge relief to most of the fans. Still I'm kind of excited for this match because of how awesome this feud has been so far but for some reason I don't see the two guys having very good chemistry in the ring together. That's another thing I'll be curious to see.

Put £20 on Wrestlemania, plus a £5 free bet on top.

£5 each on Rock, Punk and Ziggler/Big E, £2.50 on Swagger, Rhodes Scholars/Bella Twins, Henry and Triple H.

Nothing on the Intercontinental match or Jericho vs Fandago because I forgot about them.

I eagerly await the loss of all my money.

I was just gonna say, you're about to lose a lot of money with those bets (excluding Henry). lol.

All the obvious choices were awful money. Like, Cena is 1/8, and Undertaker is 1/12. Waste of time.

Was a toss up between doing an accumulator for the whole card, or taking the long shots. Went for the long shots, since a friend has put on an accumulator that is roughly the same as what mine would have been, and it'll make watching it together more exciting.

The only match that isn't silly prices on one side is the tag team championship. 5/6 for both teams.

Oh I see how that works now. But I still think you will get money for Henry but I'd have bet on Team Hell No, I can see them taking that match.

Really Vince? That was it? Look at the pretty building for WrestleMania! Really?

That was the big announcement?

Can't wait to see the big pokemon match tonight!

Corrected.

too funny

I've won money on every match apart from the tag team championship so far. Off to a good start. Henry was good odds too, 9/2.

Having cash on it makes it so much more exciting. Was shouting at the TV towards the end of that Jericho/Fandango match, for the sake of £2.

This WHC match has to be a joke lol!

Holy shit Evil Zeb!

Had money on Punk. Do not give a single fuck, that was incredible. Superb.

For as much criticism as this Mania was getting, I think it went over pretty well.

Welp.. Cena is champ again. I guess I can't argue since The Rock isn't a full time guy. At least Miz got the IC title back.
I heard Jericho had a kickass match. I hope I can find some highlights or something.

Yeah, I got to admit... WrestleMania just has that magic to it.

Raw. Just, holy shit. This is so good. The crowd's "We are awesome" chants are entirely justified, they're making the show.

Paying $60 for Wrestlemania feels worth it now just cause of this RAW alone tonight.

Wow! Last night's RAW was something special! The audience was not only hilarious, but awesome! Despite the randomness that they were presenting, the wrestlers were still very hyped off of them. Randy and Sheamus became so confused. With different fans from different parts of the world, with their different flags... this is what world peace looks like people!

I mean holy shit! I really hope @aviewaskewed saw last night's RAW.

Fandango's theme song sis still stuck in my head. I really wished they let Dolph cash in at Mania, although that was another little treat to make the Raw even more special.

I am glad to see Dolph get the world title and on RAW no less. Also hearing the audience sing along to Fandango's theme song was hilarious!

This is probably the greatest crowd ever, that Raw was the best since Raw 1000, they made Sheamus and Ortons match moreso than Sheamus and Orton did. Daniel Bryan was made by the crowd, and I think Fandango will be as well if what that crowd did catches on.

I must've been the only one who stuck by Fandango and supported him when he first came out. To be fair though, he did nothing last night to achieve this glory.

That being said, I claim last night's RAW to be the RAW of the decade. That wiped Wrestlemania to the floor. That raw was my Wrestlemania.

I've been watching WWE since late 2005 and never have I ever witnessed such an insane and awesome crowd. RAW on Monday really proved that the crowd plays probably the biggest part in how good a show is (remember MITB 2011). Definitely one of the best Raw's I've ever watched.

I don't think WWE will even think about ending Fandango's push anytime soon thanks to that crowd.

I was there for both the Hall and Mania. God I'm not sure if I hope me screaming for Cena to "die in a fire" when he won the belt should make the DVD. Mania was fun live, but the card was very lackluster, Taker/Punk easily best thing on the show, Lesnar/H a good brawl. Rock/Cena absolutely sucked until right at the end, but since Rock got so massively hurt that makes sense. The Hall was easily better and a really great night but both shows were wrongly paced. Mania throwing all the undercard out at first was pretty bizarre and hurt them I think. They definitely got hurt with the Hall in throwing all the names people had a connection with out first and then saving Trump, Backlund, then Bruno for last was a bad call as well I felt. Still, I really enjoyed myself at both events and it was great to see truly deserving talents honored on saturday, and two of my all time favorites steal the show sunday.

I don't think that Rock got hurt, there is a story going around that he pulled an Ultimate Warrior and went home after Mania. I was at Wrestlemania 18 and I can say that it was one of the best live events in my life (besides Dream Theater and Iron Maiden in the same concert....Portnoy was still with Dream Theater as well =) ). The Rock vs. Cena was a bit predictable, especially since Rock didn't wrestle until after he won the title till Mania, he was being used as a filler champ so he could job to Cena (never though I'd say that about the Rock). Henry vs. Ryback sucked, especially the way it ended, Ryback should have won full stop.

The Hall of Fame should have had Backlund and Sammartino inducted last, Foly should have been after Trump however, but you cannot make any argument that Sammartino should have been last if you know about his history in the WWF and his history with the Hall of Fame.

Chances are slim to none. We'll probably have a Cena title reign lasting a year or so.

Welcome to the club, man.
