Prophecies of The Tocc

Prophecy:The Rumble is always tough to call. It looks like HBK will face Taker at Mania, but to make the outcome of that match less transparent Taker won't be champion. Taker's streak needs to appear in jeopardy every year, and it would make no sense for HBK to take his title and leave Raw and DX for SmackDown. Taker will lose his title at the Elimination Chamber. The winner of the rumble will face Randy Orton. Cena and HHH are both always top contentenders. They inevitably find their way to main event matches at Mania. Plus they're on Raw with Orton. Cena promised he wouldn't lose a match until he wins his title back, so I'm changing my pick to Cena.

Prophecy:I don't see Sheamus in a main event at Mania. In fact, I still can't believe he won the title in the first place. He has to lose the title either here or at the Elimination Chamber PPV in February. I'm thinking he'll lose it here so Orton has more time to build up his championship match at Mania.

Prophecy:Taker retains here. Rey is feuding with Batista. He's only in this match to give Taker something to do before his match with HBK at Mania. Batista will get involved. Then at the Elimination Chamber, Rey will cost Batista the title (probably in a chamber match). Then Rey and Batista can settle things at Mania.

Prophecy:No way Zeke will win the strap from Christian here. Seeing Zeke get a pin over Christian on ECW going into the event seals the deal for me. It will go Christian's way at the Rumble. I'm as sure of this as I was that Cena would beat Sheamus in that tables match at TLC... Wait a minute...

Prophecy:This is by no means a sure thing, but Mickie has taken a lot of abuse and makes a great champ.
