Official Wrestlemania XXV Thread: 4/5/09

If? I'm pretty sure by now, it's etched in stone.

I see:

HHH/Orton
Cena/Edge/Show
Michaels/Undertaker
Austin/Jericho

^Those as the main attractions.

I cant wait for this years Wrestlemania, this year its on my Birthday so i will defiantly be watching. At the moment I'm predicting Orton vs. Triple H, Edge vs. Cena, HBK vs. Taker, Y2J vs. Austin, and Swagger vs. Christian vs. Finlay.

I'd love it if they got The Rock to induct him. He was awesome last year, and aside from McMahon, he was Austin's greatest rival in the WWE.


I'm still guessing they're building up to Jericho/Austin featuring an appearance by Mickey Rourke. I don't see how bashing Hall of Famers every week could be building towards anything else.

I hope they have Shawn Michaels win if he faces The Undertaker. It would only make sense for "Mr. Wrestlemania" to stop his streak. His Wrestlemania matches are much better then the Undertakers.

With Big Show on Raw tonight and facing Cena this Friday, I'm wondering if he'll be added to the Edge/Cena match. I could see Vickie saying that Cena gets his rematch only on one condition, if he agrees to a Triple Threat scenario.

And I doubt Kennedy's going to be involved in any way. He hasn't appeared on TV since his movie came out, so I'm thinking that maybe they're giving him some time off before returning him as a heel. Rather than get thrown into the MITB match for the third year in a row (like CM Punk), he should come back after WM, IMO.

I'd like to see some sort of US Title match featuring Shelton/R-Truth/MVP/Chavo (or some combination of the four), but on the other hand, Shelton's always a highlight of the MITB. Since he doesn't really stand a chance of winning MITB, I suppose I'd rather see him defend his title.

For anyone who might be worried that they're going with something other than HBK/'Taker, let me point this out: If he's not in this match, what else is there for HBK to do? Nothing.

Now, I see;

Orton/HHH
Cena/Edge
Jericho/Austin
HBK/Taker
MITB

Now, I haven't seen Raw yet, so it will most likely change

I don't think Jericho is going to get a match at Mania this year to be honest. It's possible, however, that he might be thrown into MITB -- other than that I do not foresee a match pitting him against any legend. None of them are really in shape to wrestle. And I think the chances are very slim that Austin would ever come back to wrestle. I could have sworn Dave Meltzer claimed that Austin would show up to RAW last night -- didn't happen.

If anything -- Jericho will come to the ring at WrestleMania (before or after they bring out the inductees on stage) and he will again bad mouth the Legends. This will eventually lead to Stone Cold Steve Austin returning to the ring. He will talk on the mic some -- stone cold stunner or two -- and it will end with a beer bash with all of the Legends in the ring. I think it's also possible that the Legends like Flair, Piper and Steamboat will beat down Jericho as well (possibly with their finishing maneuvers). That's what will happen in my opinion.
