Prophecies of therock

WrestleMania XXIII 2007


John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels

WWE Championship

Prediction:Shawn Michaels
Prophecy:Cena is rapidly regaining support from fans, but there's no doubt HBK will be cheered more here. Say 60/40 HBK. On to the match: Logic says Cena, but my heart has to go with HBK. I'm going against the odds and predicting this is the year of the veterans, with HBK and Taker both winning their respective belts. This may not be a long reign, but I think HBK is the right man to win here. This match easily has the potential of being in the 5 star category, given the quality of the build up.
Result:John Cena wins

Batista vs. Undertaker

World Heavyweight Championship

Prediction:Undertaker
Prophecy:Undertaker will have one more big reign...to quote Cena, his time is now. He won the rumble, now it's time for him to win the title. I can't wait to hear the Detroit crowd give Batista the "you can't wrestle" treatment. Taker won't go down here. Perhaps they will do a Buried Alive or Hell in a Cell at Judgment Day as a rematch.
Result:Undertaker wins

Money in the Bank Ladder Match

Winner Gets a World Title Shot

Prediction:Ken Kennedy
Prophecy:Kennedy takes this one and hopefully moves to RAW at some point. HBK or Cena v Kennedy would be awesome to see. Kennedy's time on Smackdown is clearly done, he's had to job to Batista too many times and I think a MITB win/title shot on RAW would be the best thing for him. Randy Orton I guess would be equal favourite, but given that there's tension between Rated RKO, this will be the time for one to turn on the other in some way. On another issue, I salute the WWE for finally inducting the late great "Mr Perfect" Curtis Hennig into the Hall of Fame.
Result:Ken Kennedy wins

Umaga vs. Lashley - Battle of the Billionaires

Representatives for McMahon and Trump Determine Who Is Shaved Bald

Prediction:Lashley for Trump
Prophecy:Please let the special guest ref be Stone Cold, it would be awesome to see one more Stone Cold stunner dished out to Vince before he gets his head shaved bald. On to the match, Lashley won't be losing to Umaga...for some reason Lashley is "the next big thing" in the WWE...I get visions of another Goldberg-Lesnar match here. I see Umaga and Lashley sharing the boos while Austin saves the day with afew stunners.
Result:Lashley for Trump wins
1 Point Awarded

ECW Originals vs. The New Breed

8 Man Tag

Prediction:ECW Originals
Prophecy:The Originals have copped alot of punishment from the new mob throughout this feud. This feud has pretty much been the only thing that's kept ECW going, but the product has been decidedly better these last few weeks. Originals to win, the new guys have been built up enough already. RVD pins Burke.
Result:ECW Originals wins
1 Point Awarded

Melina vs. Ashley

Lumberjill Match for the Women's Championship

Prediction:Melina
Prophecy:Agree with those that say the Women's Title won't go to Smackdown. Who's a diva on Smackdown who can actually wrestle? At least RAW has Mickie, Victoria, Beth Pheonix etc. They should make the title seem important by having some sort of battle royal at Mania. Anyhow, Melina wins here, and Mickie wins it back at Backlash.
Result:Melina wins
1 Point Awarded

Kane vs. The Great Khali

Giants Collide

Prediction:Kane
Prophecy:Tough call. This one may certainly be "bowling shoe ugly" unless they use some sort of gimmick for the match ie a chain match. Kane is way way overdue for some sort of push, and a win over Khali would certainly give him some momentum. The Big Red Machine deserves better than this.
Result:The Great Khali wins
0 Points Awarded

Chris Benoit vs. MVP

United States Championship

Prediction:Chris Benoit
Prophecy:As much as a US title reign would help MVP, I just can't see this guy beating one of the WWE's most established superstars at the grandest stage of them all. Maybe a rematch later in the week on Smackdown, but I have to go with the Crippler here. He can't lose a title at 2 Wrestlemanias in a row. Go Benoit!
Result:Chris Benoit wins
