The hype is real so say goodbye to Hollywood

Hell yes, what a great week in my shitty life. I turn 21 tomorrow and thats all good and dandy but the real thing that I can't wait for is Wrestlemania 21 this Sunday live from the fake-ville a.k.a Hollywood.

Biggest thing in the year for me is Wrestlemania. Its the culmination of everything that goes on in the WWE and I am so pumped up for it. Its just an awesome experience every year and I love it.

So just to pump me up some more and such I will now go down the card of Wrestlemania and give my opinions and such. I will even throw my predictions in.

Womans Title Match-
Trish Stratus vs. Christy Hemme
-Well this is all the womans division is throwing at us. I thinks its only on the card to get the WWE newest girl in Playboy on the card. Still, they have built up this match greatly for a womans title match and I wish Christy was a good or trained wrestler cuz that would make this match so much more than it is. It should still be interesting to see what Christy has learned in here short time training.
Prediction: Well, as much as I feel WWE wants there newest Playboy covergirl to win I don't think they would put the belt on someone who isn't really a wrestler yet so my prediciton is for Trish to retain.

Sumo Match-
The Big Show vs. Akebono
-Well this match is basicly a spectavle more than a match. A sumo match, hmmmm? Well anyways it will be cool to see two guys this size in the ring at the same time. Wondering exactly how the match will go down. I know a lot of American fans don't really care for this but it really doesn't bother me. It gives the great Japanese fans something special and should be interesting for what short time it should be on.
Prediction: If it is a real competition than Akebono will win because its his match. But if its fixed and such, Big Show will win just because he is the WWE's boy.

Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero-
- This one should be awesome. I hope both guys pull out all the stops for this and steal the show. They have been in some great matches in the past so heres hoping for a 5 star match. Odd that both are faces and I wonder if either guy will be turning in this one. Its been slowly built and is looking to be a good encounter between friends.
Prediction: I predict Rey will win this one as I feel WWE finally realizes his potential and want to push him big. I also expect a possible Eddie turn after the match if Rey wins to turn Eddie heel and possibly reuinite him with Chavo.

Money in the Bank Ladder Match-
Kane vs. Edge vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Christian vs. Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit
-Now this one has been built up superbly and has the ingredients to be fucking great. Should be a awesome sight all around and some of the style clashes should work great. All guys are perfect for this match. Christian, Edge, and Y2J have proven they know how to make a ladder match special. Benoit also can probably work great with a ladder. Shelton has the style and insane quickness to do some cool stuff as well. And Kanes involvement should counter the quickness of the other guys and give this match a unique edge with his power.
Prediction: Hard pick here, real hard. I don't see Shelton or Benoit winning this one at all. Both are good but don't really need this win as Shelton still has his IC Belt to focus on and Benoit was world champ not long ago and doesn't need to be in the hunt quite yet. So then, what else, Kane could be a surprise winner and has been built to look strong in this and Y2J came up with the idea for this match so winning it would be good for him but I think the winner will be one of the full blown heels. Edge and Christian, wow, not so sure, Christian could take it and build into a main eventer afterwards nicely as the underdog but I feel the winner will be the heel they have already built up strongly with some big wins since he turned and that man is Edge.

Randy Orton vs. Undertaker-
-This is one should be pretty good. Taker needs a good match as he has been stale to me for awhile now and Randy is looking good again now that he is back to being the "Legend Killer". Good premise for the match in legend vs. legend killer and the build up has been good on Randy's side. Taker's buildup has been the same, cheesy supernatural stuff he pulls all the time and has kinda made me angry about the matchup. But otherwise, to me both guys have somthing to prove and I hope they can pull off something good.
Prediction: The hardest of all. Who can win this. Taker has a streak of 12-0 at Wrestlemania and thats a big deal but Randy is the future and ending the Takers streak would be a big career booster. I feel Orton will win since it seems WWE wants him to be huge in the future. But apparently Orton has a bum shoulder and may be out after Mania which almost makes me want to say Taker will win again but my pick is still Randy Orton ending the Takers Wrestlemania streak.

Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels-
-The match I'm most looking forward too. HBK is my favorite of all time and Kurt is one hell of a performer. This could end up being one of the best matches ever and I really hope it is. Both guys are phenomenal and will step it up at Mania. The buildup has been perfect with plenty of great moments I will never forget. The attacks on each other, Jannetty's return, Scary Sherri, and of course the hilarious rendition of HBK's them by Kurt. "I'm just a sexy Kurt, I'll make your ankle hurt" OMG was it funny. I simply cannot wait for this and expect great, great, great things.
Prediction: Tough one as both don't really need and the winner doesn't really matter because the match should be phenomenal. As much as I will be pulling for my boy Shawn to win this, I feel Kurt will be going after a world title soon after so I expect him to win.

WWE Heavyweight Title Match-
JBL vs. John Cena
-This one could be interesting. Not expecting a great match but this should be a fun straight-up brawl. JBL can do some good in there but Cena has been looking worse and worse in the ring everytime I see him. The buildup could have been a little better but its still be good with some great promos from both men.
Prediction: All signs point to Cena winning, but I'm not so sure. I expect only one of the World Belts to change hands tonight and just because I hope WWE doesn't put the strap on Cena so bad I expect this one will be the one to not change hands. Winner JBL.

World Heavyweight Title Match-
Triple H vs. Batista
-Not sure what to expect here. Both can be good in the ring but I don't see there styles working together well here. Heres hoping I;m wrong and this is a good match. The buildup to Batista turning on Triple H was fantastic and was one of the best storylines in the WWE in ages. Then things kind of just coasted along and didn't really build up too much steam. Still the excitement is still there and I for one am ready for this one to finally happen.
Prediction: Well, Batista is my pick. They have built him up great and the fans love him right now. I'm not sure how big Batista can be not feuding with HHH but I have some faith and hope his reign can be a good one. I just hope the fasn don't turn on him when its basically been them that got him this title shot.

Well, there it is. The card to the biggest Pay-Per-View of the year. I for one, can't wait and expect to see some great shit this Sunday. See you there.
