Here's some of my predictions for WM25.

MITB- Shelton Benjamin - He lost his title before WM25 which might be a sign he could win. Shelton should win anyway because he is one of the most talented superstars in the WWE.

Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy: Jeff Hardy: I like them both but I just feel that Jeff is going to win this year. This would be Jeffs first victory at WM25

HHH vs RKO: Randy Orton -Maybe Shane or Vince turning on HHH?

Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker: Undertaker - 17-0 baby.

25 Divas Battle Royal : Trish Stratus - Surprise return and win.

The Big Show vs Edge vs John Cena: Big Show - Cena is taking time off in the summer for a new movie and Edge's knees are bothering him so he might also take a break. I would love to see Big Show as a champion.

Chris Jericho vs Legends : Legends, but I wanna see Austin out there and not those 3 guys who can barely move now.

JBL vs Rey: I expect JBL to win and then is retiring and giving the belt to Rey which will make Rey a grand slam champion.

From some very well placed sources in the wwe there is a good chance that HBK will beat the undertaker. It is unsure of because Vince is keeping everything under wraps so it is hard to tell of what to happen.

They might not be very well placed for long. Hope none of these guys are personal friends of yours. If they are, you should probably tell them that there IS stuff Vince and his inner circle leak to people (especially this time of year) that's intentionally false as a test to see who is a leak. I can't see HBK doing it. Orton didn't do it, the chosen son didn't do it, so unless Shawn has somehow begun having sex with Vince, or become a power mad fuckshit again, can't see this happening. If anything, I could see Shawn vetoing the idea and demanding that he job (remember, this is the guy that was willing to do a three match series with Hogan where he didn't necessarily win, the whole deal fell apart because Hogan refused to take the mandatory one loss to keep it drawing). So yeah, I really think this is yet another Wrestlemania victory for The Dead Man

Yes, i do understand that Vince has intent on terminating anyone who is leaking this info to the web. Luckly i do not know these people in person, there just people i started talking to on another online forum that i found out knew every thing that was going to happen. At first i had to be sceptical with this info and over and over his predictions were correct so now it's very possible that hbk will be the one. Little known fact that the undertaker is looking to retire son as in a year or so. WWE is offering him big money to keep him in the ring. I do think the undertaker has a very good chance at winning, do remember wwe wanted mark henery tp beat him at first and the same with orton. The plans changed at the last seconed, the undertake was okey with losing so that could mean it's time for him to lose this year. We will kist have to see.

Right, it's the media event WWE has pushed non-stop for weeks and hence, it is now time for The D-Lucks 12 Rounds Predi- sorry, The D-Lucks WrestleMania XV Predictions!!! Anyway, winners in bold, match types/stips in italics.

1. 25 Diva Battle Royal

You have absolutely no idea how I would mark if Santino was to win this match on Sunday. But of course that's highly unlikely, as if he even gets in the match he'll probably be first out. However his presence at ringside could easily lead to a Beth Phoenix win, and personally I see Beth, Michelle McCool, Melina, Maryse, Trish Stratus and hopefully Mickie James among the final competitors. Mickie is seriously underutlised right now and has been for some time, so it would be good to see her looking strong at Mania. However, I'm anticipating a Phoenix/Stratus face off to end the match with Beth coming out on top, possibly with Santino's interference. Although it would be logical to have either Melina or McCool win seeing as they are champions, I see them playing the power advantage card here and having Phoenix come out of top, even despite the presence of those such as Trish.
Beth to win.

2. Intercontinental Champion JBL vs Rey Mysterio

Firstly, why they gave away this match away on this week's Raw ON FREE TV when the company is supposed to be enticing people to buy the PPV on Sunday is totally beyond me, but whatever. Point is, JBL has only recently won the belt and did lose said match to Rey on Raw, so it only makes sense that he wins at Mania. However JBL has promised to do something 'historic' at WM for some time now. Whether that purely means an IC title defense considering the belt hasn't even been defended at WM since Something like WM 19, I don't know. But it could also mean that JBL drops the belt to Rey, retires and replaces Tazz back on commentary on SD, making him the first man to both compete at and call a WrestleMania. But then again this is WWE, and it most likely means there'll be a swerve on the night with the stipulation. Or nothing at all. But the point is, I don't realistically see JBL losing the belt so soon.
JBL to retain.

3. CM Punk vs Mark Henry vs Kane vs Shelton Benjamin vs Christian vs Kofi Kingston vs MVP vs Finlay (Money in the Bank Ladder Match)

As far as I see it, only MVP and Shelton Benjamin have a strong case for winning the briefcase this year. This is purely down to the other competitors having weak cases in comparison. Punk won the match last year, so I don't see them giving it too him two years running, unless they intend to build Punk strongly this time. Mark Henry shouldn't even be in the match to begin with; it's just a case of finding somewhere to put him on the show that he's there. Kane is frankly never going to get a main title run at this point in his career, and Christian has only just come back and isn't going to be thrust into the main event so quickly (and yet no ECW Championship match? Not even with Swagger and Bourne? Terrible really.) Kofi simply isn't ready to be given such a responsibility; maybe in a year or two; and Finlay should realistically be in the ECW title hunt at this stage.
So that only really leaves Shelton Benjamin and MVP as contenders. It's arguable that Shelton could clinch it; he's just dropped the US title to MVP and could bounce back with the briefcase. He's been in more MitB matches than any of the others and yet never won, so they could easily make this 'his time' in the match; in addition his promos have improved as of late and so he could be on the verge of the main event. However I can't shake this feeling that MVP will win based on his storyline of coming back after a frankly aggeravating losing streak. So I'm simply going with gut feeling on this one as opposed to logic, however I wouldn't be surprised to see Shelton win it either.
MVP to win the briefcase though.

4. Chris Jericho vs Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka, 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper and Ricky 'the Dragon' Steamboat w/ Ric Flair (Gauntlet Match)

Firstly, this match appeared to be a pure Handicap match. If it remained that way, then my prediction would be different. Then it was randomly proclaimed to be a Gauntlet Match, and my viewpoint changed. If the match is indeed Gauntlet and not some Handicap Tag (which if it is I unfortunately see Jericho getting squashed) and if the Legends come out in the order depicted here, then I see Jericho in with a chance. Plus I honestly feel that the Legends should be putting Jericho over anyway, mainly because if they win nothing will be gained out of it apart from them having one more Mania moment, and Jericho will just lose heat in the process. I can see Jericho going over Snuka and Piper clean, but could use shenanigans to overcome Steamboat, especially with Flair at ringside and potentially Mickey Rourke making his presence known.
It would benefit all involved if Jericho just went over clean and kept his heat, then he has things to brag about on Raw and can remain a top heel. Although this is WWE we're talking here, and even if he does win Jericho will just be beaten down by the Legends/Rourke/everyone anyway. But I'm keeping faith for now that Jericho will be put over and kept strong for the future. Whether this will be in vain, it remains to be seen.
Jericho to hopefully win.

5. WWE Tag Team Champions Carlito and Primo w/ Brie Bella vs World Tag Team Champions The Miz and John Morrison w/ Nikki Bella (Tag Team Title Unification Lumberjack Match)

Personally, I don't like the Lumberjack stipulation for this match, it just seems to me like a poor excuse to give everyone their WrestleMania paychecks which could be the expense of one of the more promising matches on the card. That said, if this match is anything like the previous encounters between these teams, then this could be a potential show-stealer. We have 4 superb athletes in this match capable of big spots, some of which will be undoubtedly made better by the selling skills of Morrison. I'd much prefer it if the Lumberjacks have very little presence in the match and the teams are just allowed to go at it and do their own thing. And hopefully when all's said and done, Miz and Morrison come out as Unified Tag champs. They're just head and shoulders over all the other teams in the company right now (or what's left of them) and even Carlito and Primo lack the credibility as a team that Miz and Morrison possess. The two of them deserve to be Undisputed champions beyond a shadow of a doubt, and I will personally be very disappointed if they do not leave Houston as the victors tomorrow night.
Miz and Morrison to win.

6. Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy (Extreme Rules Match)

The spotlight has been lit much stronger on Jeff going into this match, unfortunately at the expense of my beloved Brian Kendrick and Ezekiel Jackson in addition to Dolph Ziggler on Raw, with Matt only having a win against R-Truth since the match was announced. So really I feel that Matt should be given the win at Mania; he can unload all of his 'jealousy' on Jeff under the Extreme Rules so Jeff can be the babyface in pursuit over the next few PPVs considering this isn't a feud that should be a one-show deal. However, I unfortuantely have to go against what I'd like to see and go with the obvious and unimaginative choice of Jeff 'finally getting his hands on Matt and having his revenge cause Matt is bad, boooo'. Hey, we might even get them making up with each other at the end of the match because everyone knows that blood is thicker than water!
Bleh. I pray that I'm surprised with Matt getting the win so the feud can progress further after Mania, but I bet that the 'E will drop the ball and blow the whole thing off tomorrow night with Jeff nuking Matt.
Jeff to win, but hopefully I'm proved wrong here.

PREDICTIONS CONTINUED IN NEXT POST

PREDICTIONS CONTINUED

7. Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker

Arguably, this should be the match to close the show, although it'll probably play second fiddle to one of the world title matches, unfortunately. On one side you have Shawn Michaels, a living legend who is undefeated against the Undertaker and has been consistently one-upping him each week with promos and attacks on Raw and Smackdown. But then on the other hand you have the other living legend and of course the 16-0 WrestleMania undefeated streak of the Undertaker. And for the streak alone, I HAVE to go with Taker on this one. The Streak is one of the things that, as someone said earlier, shouldn't be broken as whoever does so will be revered by the fans for breaking it and will be hurt more than pushed. Plus it would make no sense to break it now, it's one of the few consistencies that WWE has left now and it should be protected no matter the opponent. Plus Michaels retired Ric Flair at last year's WM; it wouldn't really be fair to give him two huge deals two years in a row. Undertaker's streak is the most special thing about his character, and it needs to be kept clean. So I absolutely have to go with Undertaker on this one.
Undertaker to go 17-0.

8. World Heavyweight Champion Edge vs Big Show vs John Cena (Triple Threat Match)

You have no idea how annoyed I am that this storyline ended up overly comical and more about trying to win Vickie Guerrero's love than the goddamn WHC. I do believe that Edge needs to rest his knees or something soon after WM, so if that is true then unfortunately I see another short Edge reign. I DO NOT WANT John Cena winning, as then things will become completely ridiculous with him 'winning' Vickie as well when he doesn't even want her, and that can only mean very painful viewing on Smackdown. So that leaves Big Show, and while most people would disagree with me here, I see him with a chance at winning at WM. Think about it, if Show wins the title at Mania he effectively usurps Edge's place in SD's 'power couple' which could even lead to a face turn for Edge trying to regain his power and championship (although I personally feel Edge should remain heel). I'm really just hoping that the way Show and Edge destroyed Cena on Raw doesn't lead to another lame 'BAH GAWD CENA OVERCAME THE ODDS' deal again. Plus I'd personally like to see a Big Show title reign, and it would tidy up Show's ugly track record at WrestleMania to boot (1 win, 7 losses).
So with any luck, Big Show to win or Edge if he isn't really due for time off. As long as it isn't Cena.

9. WWE Champion Triple H (w/ Vince and Shane?) vs Randy Orton w/ Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr.

Looking back, I see that I have mostly predicted and/or have wanted heels to win their matches tomorrow night, which may well be in vain considering heels nearly never win at Mania. However I hope this year that all changes, and that Randy Orton wins to cap off the night. I'm very glad that the whole IED thing with Orton was dropped and that Orton just declared himself evil after all, but it's a shame that the McMahons have been focussed on more than the WWE title in the feud. But then that seems to be all the rage these days. Anyway, although it would appear that we'll be getting the generic 'face gets revenge on the evil heel' scenario at WM, I really hope that Creative swerves us with Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase fending off the inevitable McMahon interference (and logically they should as Vince and Shane are really getting on now) leading to Randy Orton going over Haitch to be crowned champion. A key factor is that Randy has actually been cheered with his attacks on the unlikeable McMahons, not booed. People actually want to see Orton come out on top here, and hopefully the rocket currently tied to him will not explode tomorrow night and continue to fly higher. I'm desperate to see the swerve here, and anticipate seeing whether they capitalise on Orton's popularity here or not.
So hopefully, Randy Orton to become new WWE Champion as of tomorrow night.

----------

So, that's my predictions over for now, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of you find my choices intriguingly different. But whether you do or not, any thoughts on my predictions?

Ok, I'm here on my rare appearance only to post my predictions for Wrestlemania 25. Most of these I thought of already, and I thought about it long and hard and am pretty sure that I'm right. Btw I'm skipping the divas match because women are inferior.

JBL vs. Rey Mysterio (Intercontinental Championship): I can defiantly tell that JBL will win this one. They made Rey Mysterio beat JBL last Monday so it can be unpredictable, but I know JBL will cheat to win this one. I'm not happy about it, but I'm pretty sure about it.

Chris Jericho vs. WWE Legends: I know the WWE Legends won't lose at Wrestlemania, and I'm sure Chris Jericho is is for an ass-kicking. I'm not too hyped up about this match, but I'm putting my bets on the legends.

Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker: This one should be obvious. I highly doubt that the Undertaker's streak will end at 16, it just doesn't seem right. I really do want Taker to kick HBK's ass too, he's being a total fucking dick lately.

Money in the Bank ladder match: Christian: I don't expect the WWE to be doing anything very big with the MITB this year, so they'll probably give it to Christian. ECW is going to need some of that excitement anyway, and this is the perfect way to do it for a rising star like Christian.

Edge vs. Cena vs. Big Show (World Heavyweight Championship): Again, I think the unpredictability is trying to be made here by making Big Show beat Cena and Edge beat up Cena. But unlike last year, I could imagine him winning this one, and I really hope he does. In addition, the title needs to go back to Raw.

HHH vs. Randy Orton (WWE Championship): I'm positive this one will be saved for last. This is going to be an awesome match undoubtedly, and they would end off Wrestlemania with HHH winning an epic match. If Cena takes the World Heavyweight title back to Raw, they're keeping this one on Smackdown, and everything works out woohoo yippee everybody fucking go home now :D

Whoops sorry, forgot a match.

Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy (Extreme rules): People have been waiting for Matt to get his ass kicked for a while now, and now is defiantly the time it will happen. Jeff must release all his rage on Matt, and I can't imagine Matt beating Jeff here. In addition, Jeff has a defeated streak at Wrestlemania so they should let him win this one.

Apparently he hated that gimmick and swore never to bring it back.

Trish Stratus, Lita, Victoria, Beth Phoenix, Mickie James, Melina and countless others would like a word with you.

Wrestlemania 25...

Remember people it's 7 PM Tonight.

A big night, something we will all remember no matter what. I for one am going to enjoy it quite well. For those unfortunate to be watching I feel sorry for you.

Doesn't look like I will be getting to watch WM live.
I'll probably find a way to watch it eventually, there is always a way.

Not really that keen on it anyway.

The one thing I want to see is how Undertaker beats Michaels.
Anyone who doesn't think that is how it is going to end is kidding themselves.
But apart from his triangle hold all of undertakers offence is so cliche, it doesn't get a reaction anymore.
Same thing week in and week out with the old school, bouncing off the ropes *yawn* whatevers.
So hopefully he pulls out something special. Not the same old routine.

I'm looking forward to see what happens since there are a few matches that are sure to have some great work involved. I won't actually be seeing it but I will eventually. I just hope that if JBL does retire he doesn't take the IC title with him. That would suck.

Dude, I'm SO hyped up for WrestleMania right now. I just had 8 beers and I barely feel it. Holy shit I'm so numb.

WWE Champion Triple H vs. Randy Orton: Anybody who thinks Orton will wins this one is utterly mistaken. Triple H we all know is the man of the hour, especially this and last year.

World Heavyweight Champion Edge vs. John Cena vs. Big Show (Triple Threat Match): This may be questionable, but Cena's stuck in between a love triangle and believe me, he'll get out of it and, most of all, send the title back to RAW.

Intercontinental Champion JBL vs. Rey Mysterio: Mysterio won on Monday for a simple reason: to make this match unpredictable. Plus, JBL won't give in to his Intercontinental title just yet, believe me.

Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy (Extreme Rules Match): Sorry Matt, but you're a dick. The fans have been waiting for this match for the longest time. Though it was expected, it will be a classic, but Jeff is the enegma. He is the daredevil. And believe me, he'll do whatever it takes to win.

WWE Tag Team Champions vs. World Tag Team Champions (Unified Tag Team Championship
Lumberjack Match)

Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker: Oh, come on, guys! This one is a given. The streak won't end at 16. In fact, it probably won't end at all IMO. Taker should be named Mr. WrestleMania for God's sake.

Money in the Bank Ladder Match- Christian: Christian made his appearance into the WWE and is now in this match, but he is still destined to win. I'm sure he'll make a great ECW champion, and all SmackDown and RAW superstars probably have no storyline in the title.

25-Diva Battle Royal: Who gives a shit.

Chris Jericho vs. WWE Legends: If anything I am sure of, it's this match. I mean, it's the freakin' 25th anniversary of WrestleMania, and these guys are some of the best of all time! Jericho has no chance of winning.

Oh sorry, I forgot a match.

WWE Tag Team Champions vs. World Tag Team Champions (Unified Tag Team Championship
Lumberjack Match): I'm sure that Carlito and Primo won't have a storyline with the titles anymore. And let's face it, Morrison and the Miz know how to win, and I'm sure they'll pull it off tonight.

Im currently in texas, waiting to go inside the arena in about 10 minutes. Well Im getting off of here so i can enjoy wrestlemania.

Yes, man! You're the only person who agrees with me so far.

Night of upsets so far, as I've covered over on the wrestlemania 25 topic on my boards, you've got The Colons winning the unified tag crown and CM Punk being the first man to repeat in MITB. Two matches where the predicted finish was not the finish we got. Screwing with the smarks? Or has WWE finally decided to push these talents? Not regretting having not bought the show, but this does help me decide that I most likely will be buying the forthcoming DVD.

Holy crap at Ricky Steamboat! For someone who wasn't had a match in 15 years, he looked awesome. Jericho beats the Legends in what was a pretty good match.

Of course, Rourke punched out Jericho post-match.

that hardy v hardy match coulda been better, i expected more high spots from them
still it wasn't bad

Matt Hardy wearing tights?! wtf?!

awesome mysterio is dressed as the joker! hahaha

i remember how he used to dress as comic book characters

***SPOILER ALERT***

well just like chavo guerrero vs kane last year... this match only went for about 20 secs with rey winning the title!

sorry for the triple threat here guys

I can understand giving the Colons the titles in order to give the fans a face victory on the PPV. But there it is. On the PPV.
Hell, if I was watching WM, I'd have much rather had 21 seconds of the tag match over JBL/Rey.

MY GOD!!!!
taker vs michaels... was just simply amazing!!!

definately one to put in the books

I know i was wrong with that match and it looks like vince may have found hid person he was looking for and now his contract may be terminated. Now the match was a masterpiece, i have no words for it at all. Dare i say the best match at wretlemania in ten years, honestly this match was the only reason i payed 55$ for this if this match was not on the card they wouls be out of money. Again no words for this match 10/10 five stars as for the rest of the show not so well.

Go to my blog for a "RESULTS COVERAGE IN PROGRESS"

Edge can never seem to keep his title when facing Cena can he? I was realinh opeing Edge would keep it this time around. We got a few suprises with CM Punk winning MITB, and WWE deciding the tag titles were a dvd only match with Carlito and Primo winning the bout. The match that should have been kept off the main card was the diva match. Did anyone really want to see that? I'm sure the "Santina" bit was funny but it sounds like it ran for far too long.

I'm also shocked to see Matt Hardy get the win. That will keep the fued going for them I guess. My prediction that HHH would retain also came true.

I'm also glad Taker kept the streak alive. 17-0. I wonder if JBL is really gone or will he go back to announcing?

I only got 3 right with my predictions.
I really didn't expect The Colons to win, probably the biggest surprise..

You would think unifying the tag titles would bring them back some respectability but no, they take it off the PPV.. and give those losers the title.. great start for the unified tag titles. Ugh.

I suppose they still want it to be a lower card title (or the WWE Champion and the opponent for his title, which they've done numerous times). As if they're going to dedicate any more time to it now it's unified, this just means they can justify giving tag teams half the time now.

Speaking of WWE and their stubbornness, I can only imagine CM Punk's next push will be just as underwhelming as the last. They may as well make Punk the first guy to not win his title match, because then at least they'd be burying Punk in an original way

Also, thank God for Orton getting Orton'ed.

Just finished watching Wrestlemania and have mixed feelings about it. First up, it's a shame the tag match was a dark match, although I think I'm one of the few people that enjoyed Kid Rock's performance.

Money In The Bank was excellent but seemed a tad short. Everyone in the match was excellent and I was glad to see CM Punk get the win. MVP and Shelton have the US title to fued over for a while so the only other real winner was Christian, who will hopefully be drafted elsewhere in the draw next week and be built up there.

Diva match was pretty much as bad as expected. Although thankfully Santino knocked it up from dreadful to light comic relief.

Jericho Vs The Legends was ok. Steamboat sure can go, especially in comparison to the other two. Him and Jericho at the end really worked well. Good to see Jericho get the win, even if he did have to suffer with Rourke. Shame my prediction about Austin didn't happen.

Hardy match was good. Lived up to the title of extreme rules and had some good spots. Despite being a huge Jeff mark I was fairly happy to see Matt get the win. The fued can be continued in months to come and will hopefully end with one hell of a TLC match. (Over the top tier title would be my perfect scenario).

Mysterio/Bradshaw was a waste of time. Apparently were destined to see JBL as a commentator in the near future, but I can't help be a bit pissed at the factv that this match got a place on the card over the dark match. Guess JBL being JBL had to have a Wrestlemania sendoff.

Undertaker and Michaels definatley put on the match of the night. Although the result was pretty much a given, they kept it going back and forth, the audience kept getting more and more fired up, some excellent wrestling, good spots, an overall excellent match. WM25 wont be remembered for the two title matches but for this one.

The two title matches were average and the results were less than pleasing. Cena I could take winning, it's Wrestlemania so a face really has to end the night victorious. I would however have prefered Edge to retain (give that poor man a reign longer than a fucking month!) and Orton to beat Triple H. CM Punk comes out and cashes in having a face end the night as champion. Next night on Raw he cuts a promo dating back to the night Orton kicked him in the head and cost him the title (battle royale ppv, don't remember which one it was). Everyone wins, except of course Triple H which is probably why it didn't fucking happen :(

ok here's my thoughts on wrestlemania

Tag Team Unification match - We all didn't get to see this but it was actually a pleasant suprise to see the Colon Bros. getting the victory, man for a midcarder, Carlito has accomplished quite a bit, he won the US title on his first night on smackdown, won the IC title on his first night on raw, is the first unified tag team champion along with his brother Primo, that's quite a resume to look forward to. But anyway, now it's not that i hate miz and morrison... wait.. let me fix that... it's not that i hate morrison, it's just that i think the Colon Bros. needed this more.. morrison is great talent, and i'm hoping he gets drafted to a bigger brand (not that they both need to.. they're on every show, every week).. the miz on the other hand... the guy's wrestling is plain.. and on the mic.... well.. he just comes off as simply annoying..

The MITB Ladder match - now unfortunately i missed this match too, which is a big shame.. i was looking forward to it, i'll try to find it somewhere to watch. Now once again CM Punk wins it.... wat.. cmon man so many people deserved it more than CM Punk... MVP, Shelton, Christian, Kane, hell Mark Henry definately needed it more than CM Punk... I heard Shelton jumped from a high ladder in the ring onto everyone on the outside, fuck man.. i need to see that.

Women's Battle Royal - I started watching halfway through this match, apparently Kid Rock performed during the big entrance of the divas.. that upset me.. not cause of Kid Rock, even though i'm not a big fan, but mainly coz they all entered at once.. i know their entrances would of taken up a lot of time, but it would of cleared up which divas were in it.. for instance, i had no idea Joy Giovanni was in this match, until i saw the photo shoot on wwe.com.. also it was cool to see Molly Holly come back with her debut babyface look (the blonde hair, the blue top)... ok Santino wins it.. in drag of course.. ok i think santino is a hell of a funny guy, infact he's only one of the few who actually make me laugh out loud when he delivers a promo.. but man after dressing in drag and winning a divas battle royal.. there's no going back.. they should retire him in the ring and at least make him a manager or an announcer.. he would really do great with a job like that

anyway i give this match a 4/10, coz it was nice to see the some of the old divas again, also they didn't leave out candice, and should looked pretty nice.. she didn't look like someone stomped on her face like she has looked recently..

Chris Jericho vs The Legends (Snuka, Steamboat & Piper)
Alright first of all, wow.. how come guys like Hacksaw Jim Duggan are still working and Steamboat isn't.. he was amazing! I was pretty much right about the outcome of this match, but it was ok.. Snuka and Piper were eliminated quickly and Jericho had a great bout Steamboat (which i'm imagining was a dream for Jericho, since he idolised Steamboat when he was younger) and finally defeats him with the Codebreaker, after the match Jericho beat the bejesus outta flair and then issued a challenge to Mickey Rourke, who then comes in the ring and knocks out Jericho with one punch.. yeh that's it.. quite a shame due to all the build-up it made during the past few months and it all ends with just one left hook.. Jimmy Hart recently stated that moment saying "it was like watching a movie that breaks in the end", and i can see where he's getting at.

anyway i give this match a 6/10 for Steamboats impressive showing for a guy his age, it would of gotten more points if the Rourke and Jericho brawl would of gotten more deeper than just one punch to the face.

Hardy vs Hardy Extreme Rules
Ok why the hell was Matt Hardy wearing tights?! you know what forget that.. this match was pretty good.. but the truth is i expected a lot better.. the table spot was pretty original which was good, and that fall from the ladder really had to hurt.. and that twist of fate WHOA! that was pretty original too, but either than that everything seemed a bit too... plain.. just chair shots and stuff its a shame how wwe thinks chair shot are so hardcore.. i mean it would hurt.. but its overdone and very cliched. I was also expecting bloodshed for this one, but was sadly disappointed.

i'll give this match a 7/10 to the nice spots and once again suprised with Matt Hardy taking this one, he needed the victory more than Jeff in my opinion.

Rey Mysterio vs JBL IC Title match
ok this match was just a waste of time.. i actually don't really like either of them but you know that they're both talent and could of made something good out of this, especially if this was JBL's last match. I did like mysterio bringing back his wrestlemania tradition of dressing as a comic book character, this year it was The Joker (Heath Ledger style) also it was quite a shame that JBL had to retire in a storyline like manner, furiously quitting, I'm pretty sure he's pissed with that outcome...

i'll give this match 2/10 as it was really nothing more than an intermission act more than a wrestling match... goodbye JBL.. i'm looking forward to see you come out of retirement again next year..

Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker
OMG!!! for those of you who doubt Shawn Michaels or The Undertaker's abilities, 1. you're retarded and 2. WATCH THIS MATCH! jesus h. christ i was totally marking out during this match.. a match hasn't moved me in ages like this! not even the fact that Undertaker almost crushed a camera man to death and stalled for minutes ruined this match, it was just perfect, reminded me of one of those old school bouts between the rock and stone cold, just amazing.. a part worth mentioning was when the undertaker gave the last ride (i think) to shawn michaels.. everyone thought it was over 1.. 2.. michaels kicks out! the fans are going crazy, and just a second after he kicks out.. the camera zooms in on the undertakers face.. who has broken out of his deadman character and just has a look of shock and disbelief on his face. the beginning was good, the middle was better, but the ending was the best, and i was behind Michaels all the way and even seeing him lose against Taker i was not upset.. this match is definately match of the year already.. it can't be outdone unless The Rock and Stone Cold came outta retirement to join them in a fatal fourway match

10/10! i bet Edge, Cena and Big Show were shitting themselves having to follow that lol

WH title match - Edge vs Cena vs Big Show
Cena, once again makes a flashy looking entrance.. but it's been done (*cough* eminem), nothing really stands out in this match.. well ok 3 things.. i like big show breaking the barrier falling into the crowd by getting speared by edge (i think) and also i liked big show pushing cena off the top rope, with him landing right into a spear by edge and when cena lifted both Edge and Show for a double F-U, but i think everyone was still in awe about the michaels vs taker match and just clearly showed no interest in this match

7/10 for cena's entrance, and the fact that you could tell that these guys were trying to work as hard as they could to follow up taker vs michaels, also did anyone notice cena posed infront of a crowd that had a sign saying CENA > THE ROCK? hmm i smell a public fued!

WWE Title HHH vs Orton
Oh my god, this match was the biggest disappointment of the night... just so boring and terrible.. This storyline had one of the biggest build ups of them all.. also just to top it off if HHH is dq'd then he loses the title.. so hooray just gets more boring! this just seemed like a match they could do on raw instead.. also what bothered me.. no interference what so ever, no mcmahons, no legacy... no one! to be honest i lost great interest just after HHH gave orton the punt.. so i don't know how it ended i just know HHH got the clean win and it rapped up quickly..

4/10.... i don't know why really.. i'm just being generous...

again sorry for the long read... but i tried to shorten it as much as i could lol

So if Viki is going to be the GM of Raw who will head SD? Do you think that job will go to JBL? I can see him doing that instead of commentating.

Batista returns. I was actualy suprised to see him. At least we won't see Vince in action at Backlash now.

Raw was pretty good last night. That flip Morrison did was awesome and Steamboat doesn't seem to have lost a step. I enjoyed that big tag match.
