Prophecies of President D

WrestleMania XXIV 2008


Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels

Career Threatening Match

Prediction:Shawn Michaels
Prophecy:This match has the potential to be one of if not the greatest match in Wrestlemania history. The emotion it will bring will be something to remember forever, and with two guys like HBK and Flair, this one is destined to be a classic. Look for an emotional exchange after the match and a long sendoff for Flair from the Orlando crowd.
Result:Shawn Michaels wins

Randy Orton vs. Triple H vs. John Cena

Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship

Prediction:Triple H
Prophecy:Orton has no chance. Cena won the Rumble, and is always a threat to be reckoned with at Mania. Triple H has not had a decent run with the belt since 2005 (not counting the two hours he held it last October). These factors will play a huge role in who wins, but I have to go with Triple H. He deserves to have a decent title run for obvious reasons. I'll go with Trips winning the title via Figure Four on Orton/Cena as a tribute to Flair. Flair and Michaels can even come out to help the celebration I suppose.
Result:Randy Orton wins

Edge vs. Undertaker

World Heavyweight Championship

Prediction:Undertaker
Prophecy:Just like last year, I can't do it. I cannot bet against Taker this far into his career at Wrestlemania. Edge will probably play up the fact that he hasn't been pinned at Wrestlemania to add more fuel to the fire. Expect this match to keep the crowd in a frenzy more than the Batista/Taker matchup from last year. This looks to be an awesome match, and seeing Taker with the belt again is going to be great. Taker wins in what should be a great match.
This is my lock.
Result:Undertaker wins

Floyd Mayweather, Jr. vs. Big Show

The Biggest Battles the Best

Prediction:Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Prophecy:WWE is always nice to their celebrity guests, so their is no way that Mayweather will take a loss here. The match itself actually intrigues me, and it will be interesting to see how they go about it. Big Show and Mayweather seem to click, so the crowd will definitely be into this one. After hearing the crowd responses in the previous weeks, I'm wondering who is the face and who is the heel in this match?
Result:Floyd Mayweather, Jr. wins

Money in the Bank Ladder Match

Winner Gets a World Title Shot

Prediction:Chris Jericho
Prophecy:It's either between Punk or Jericho. Lets look at the options herre. Hardy was becoming insanely OVER with the fans, and was becoming one of the top guys on Raw. However, his 60 day suspension will definitely hurt him upon his return. Benjamin is still on the rise, but his move to ECW is helping him get there. Kennedy has still to bounce back from his bad luck of last year. Carlito is still up and coming as well. MVP was simply thrown into the match. Punk is a possibilty, but ever since he lost the ECW title, he just seems to be shifting around. Jericho is also on the rise after his high profile return from last year, only to not really win any big match yet. For now, I'll go with Jericho for the win. This Money in the Bank match looks to be the best yet, and with 1 more participant to be added, only expect it to get better.
Result:CM Punk wins
0 Points Awarded

Batista vs. Umaga

SmackDown vs. Raw

Prediction:Batista
Prophecy:I actually feel bad for Batista here. He went from feuding with Taker at last years Mania to this. At least he can be happy to be guranteed a win.
Result:Batista wins
1 Point Awarded

Finlay vs. JBL

Belfast Brawl

Prediction:Finlay
Prophecy:The Bellfast Brawl stipulation will be the only thing that saves this match. Otherwise, the crowd would experience something very average. As for the winner, Finlay hasn't had the upper hand once, so expect him to get a big win here over the Wrestling Fraud. Hopefully, this match will signal the end of this storyline that has been quite dull for some time now.
Result:John "Bradshaw" Layfield wins
0 Points Awarded

Chavo Guerrero vs. 24-Man Battle Royal Winner

ECW Championship

Prediction:24-Man Battle Royal Winner (Kane)
Prophecy:The moment I heard this match, the names started flying in my head as to who could possibly win. The main reason for this match is to simply give the guys who don't have a match some air time. After weighing all of the possible winners I'm going with Kane to win the battle royal. He can then face Chavo and hopefully get a well deserved title reign (albeit the ECW title that is).
Result:24-Man Battle Royal Winner (Kane) wins
