Prophecies of HBK SHAWN MICHEALS

WrestleMania XXV 2009


Triple H vs. Randy Orton

WWE Championship

Prediction:Triple H
Prophecy:Randy Orton is not on That Level yet. Is he the company's hottest heel? Yes. Is he their number one antagonist? Yes. However, he is not on That Level ? the one with HHH, Cena, Undertaker, or Shawn Michaels. A while back Mick Foley decided that HHH would be his pet project, and he did everything in his power to make sure HHH was seen as being on That Level . I think HHH is doing the same thing with Randy Orton, because, frankly, the company needs him to be on That Level., and HHH will do what is best for the bottom line of the company. Provided this does not close the show (and I don't believe it will), HHH does the same favor to Orton that Foley did for him so many years ago. Last minute change
Result:Triple H wins

Edge vs. Big Show vs Cena

Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship

Prediction:John Cena
Prophecy:I'd have to say that if they're having John Cena job cleanly to Show the week before WrestleMania, that he must be getting the belt as a reward for having to deal with this entire insane feud. Seriously, why couldn't we just have had Cena-Edge? The match would have been another in a long line of great matches they've had together, and the promos would have been awesome. But no, instead we've got Show-Edge-Vicki in a love triangle and only Cena actually caring about the belt. Well, hopefully that means that Cena gets what he wants, while Show and Edge can waste time feuding with each other as we head to Backlash.
Result:John Cena wins

Money in the Bank Ladder Match

Winner Gets a World Title Shot

Prediction:MVP
Prophecy:I have to give backhanded credit here, it's the first Money in the Bank where it's pretty much wide open who could win. Obviously, Kofi, Kane, and Finlay have no shot. Henry might walk away with it, but I don't think we've done anything to piss off Vince lately that he'd want to punish us for. Shelton seems like the best candidate, and losing the US Title seems like it might set him up for briefcase-related activities, but I actually think he'll never rise above US Title level due to his well-documented limitations. So we're down to Punk, Christian, and MVP, and I have to believe that WWE has big future plans for the athlete who is half man, half amazing, plans which could see him a genuine main eventer by next WrestleMania.
Result:CM Punk wins

Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels

The Streak vs. Mr. WrestleMania

Prediction:Undertaker
Prophecy:Sorry Shawn Michaels, but it's "The Streak". THE Streak. You can't beat it; you can't contain it; you can only be a victim to it. This has been a terrific build and Michaels has played his part as "The Showstopper, Mr. Wrestlemania" like a champ. Undertaker has also been good enough to play up that he has in fact been affected by HBK's mind games. The match itself will be all sorts of awesome, as it has been when we have seen them match up over the past few years in short bursts (the Rumble). Ultimately, it is going to be 17-0 and the build and buzz for the possibility of twenty straight wins is certainly just around the corner.
This is my lock.
Result:Undertaker wins

Chris Jericho vs. WWE Legends

3 on 1 Handicap Match

Prediction:Piper, Steamboat, & Snuka
Prophecy:See, this is how you book a feud, and go figure, it's the one heel who has no problem laying down for anyone, while still maintaining massive credibility and heel heat because he created such an awesome character. Jericho has gotten the upper hand on every single Legend and bragged about it plenty, now it's time for payback. It's truly a shame that we'll never know what a Jericho-Rourke match could have been like, but I'm sure Randy Robinson will get his shots in too.
Result:Chris Jericho wins

Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy

Extreme Rules Match

Prediction:Jeff Hardy
Prophecy:I swear, sometimes I think they've forgotten about this feud. I mean, there's been a couple promos, and Jeff's shown off that he's preparing for Extreme Rules (yeah, because Jeff's never done anything extreme before), but I really don't feel the hatred and blood feud that you'd think something like this deserves. I can only hope there are longer term plans in store for both men, and as for this match, I'm pretty sure it will all come down to whether or not Jeff hits the massive high spot. I'm going to go with him making it.
Result:Matt Hardy wins
0 Points Awarded

Carlito & Primo vs. Miz & Morrison

Lumberjack Match for the Unified Tag Team Championship

Prediction:Carlito & Primo
Prophecy:This unification match has been too long in coming, and in fact both teams have had so little competition outside of each other, that both have held the tag titles for over 100 days at this point. The Colons are a fun tag team, and probably the tag ranks are the best place for both Carlito and Primo, but when it comes right down to it, there are two men in this match destined for greatness in WWE, and they're not the ones with crazy hair. Well, okay, but my point still stands
Result:Carlito & Primo win
1 Point Awarded

John "Bradshaw" Layfield vs. Rey Mysterio

Intercontinental Championship

Prediction:John "Bradshaw" Layfield
Prophecy:JBL had promised that he will do something to make Wrestlemania history and for the first time, I believe him about those claims. JBL wins this one and announces his official retirement at Wrestlemania while still a champion?something no one has done at a Wrestlemania.
Result:Rey Mysterio wins
