I will keep my predictions short
and sweet because I don't want them to drag on -
plus I'm busy with other parts of the site at the
moment anyway. Here I go..
World Wrestling Federation
Championship
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Rock
I truly think that there can be
only one outcome for this match. Although it
seems too obvious, I still think Austin will win
- via pinfall. Shawn Michaels will try to screw
Austin, miss with the Sweet Chin Music - and
catch the Rock with it instead. Handing Austin
the victory and the World Wrestling Federation
title.
Winner: Stone Cold Steve Austin
Triple H vs. Undertaker
The Undertaker is currently
undefeated at Wrestlemania, and the WWF will keep
it that way. Mark Callaway is set to retire soon
and will win at Wrestlemania and go on for at
least one more title shot before he retires.
Triple H will have to job, but if he doesn't then
it will be a double DQ or something. I'm sticking
with a win for Taker.
Winner: The Undertaker
Street Fight: Special referee: Mick Foley
Vince McMahon vs. Shane McMahon
Expect Linda McMahon to pop out of
her wheelchair and distract Vince. Booker T will
then interfere and take out Vince - landing the
new WCW Owner, Shane, the victory.
Winner: Shane McMahon
TLC II
Dudley Boyz vs. Hardy Boyz vs. Edge &
Christian
A tough one to call. I'm just
going to go with the Hardy Boyz because they are
expected to be pushed a lot in 2001. After they
win the titles at Mania I think they will end up
splitting in late 2001 and feuding with each
other.
Winners: Hardy Boyz
Intercontinental Championship
Chris Jericho vs. William Regal
This is one match I'm not really
hyped about. To keep it short, I think Jericho
will break out of the Regal Stretch and win with
the Walls of Jericho.
Winner: William Regal
Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle
This will be a stunning technical
battle with the eventual winner being Chris
Benoit. Benoit will win with the crossface -
after reversing the Ankle Lock from Angle. This
match will solidify Benoit's recent face-turn.
Winner: Chris Benoit
Hardcore Championship
Big Show vs. Kane vs. Raven
Kane is the only competitor that
has not held the Hardcore title during the feud
in recent weeks. Therefore, I'm just going to say
Kane.
Winner: Kane
Women's Championship
Chyna vs. Ivory
Billy Gunn will interfere and
screw Chyna out of the match - giving Ivory the
unlikely victory. A Chyna win seems too obvious
in my view.
Winner: Ivory
European Championship
Test vs. Eddie Guerrero
I think Eddie will win so their
feud can reach new levels. If Test retains the
title I don't think the WWF can take their
rivalry to bigger things.
Winner: Eddie Guerrero
Gimmick battle royal
I have no idea who will win,
really. I'll go with Gillberg - for fun. Hulk
Hogan would be a good bet - except his return is
very unlikely to happen.
Winner: Gillberg (ha ha ha)
Six-man tag
Tazz & APA vs. Right to Censor
Another hard one to call. I still
think the Right To Censor will win, because the
build up to the match has seen the Acolytes and
Tazz get the upper hand - but RTC will come back
from behind and win the match-up.
Winners: Right To Censor

Before I start can I please

following sites….

All of these are great sites, and at the moment,
my WrestleMania column is up, where I take a look
at past WrestleMania's, anyway back to my
predictions.
Im sure this years WrestleMania will excellent,
so here are my thoughts on this great event..
World Wrestling Federation Championship
The Rock V.s Stone Cold Steve Austin
Now this match has the potential to be corker and
I’m sure it will deliver, but as for the
ending…I’m not sure. But what I am sure
of, is that it won’t be a clean finish,
neither man will be willing to do the job for
free. So that means there’s gonna be a screw
job.
Now, if you’d have asked me this on Monday I’d
have given you this theory. HBK will come down to
the ring, start stomping, and then superkick
Austin. Rock will then retain the belt, and the
next night on Raw, SCSA will get a return shot.
The same will be about to happen again, but this
time, Austin will duck and HBK will flawed with
SCM, allowing Austin to pick up the title, and
Rock to have time of to film his movie. Now that
theory isn’t impossible. Because I think
there is still a good chance that HBK will show
up at WM, despite this weeks “rumoured”
trouble, and I do mean “Rumoured”.
But if this doesn’t come to play, then my
second theory will happen, which his as follows.
Vince will screw Austin, turning Rocky heel. Rock
will side with Vince, and Austin will side with
Shane on WCW’s side. There will then be a
WCW V WWF fued with Rock and Austin on a side
each. The way this fued goes could be vica-versa.
In that I mean, that it could be Rokc that’s
screwed, and Austin joining up with Vince.
But my final prediction for this match is Rock to
take the victory via help from the greatest,
Shawn Michaels.
Winner: The Rock
Intercontinental Title Match
William Regal V.s Chris Jericho
I really can only see one winner in this match
and that’s Regal. Jericho is in line for a
very long awaited main event push, and also is
rumoured to have a back problem which will need
time to heal. The commish will obviously use some
kind of devious tactic to win though.
Winner: William Regal
TLC II – Tag Title Match
E & C V,s Dudley Boyz V.s Hardy Boyz
Now Hardyz won the first ladder match, and E
& C have won the following ones, so that
leaves only the men from Dudleyville to take the
gold. I can see Rhyno, Spike and Maybe Lita/Jerry
Lynn being a major factor in this match as well,
so it dithers from the these 3 teams previous
epics.
Winners: Dudleyz
Eunropean Title Match
Eddy Guerrero V.s Test
I really can only see Test winning this as Eddy
is, some would say too big for the European
title, and Test needs a big win over strong
comepetiotn at a PPV, to really get crowd support.
So in my view, Test will retain the title.
Winner: Test
Hardcore Ttitle Match
Raven V.s Kane V.s Big Show
If this match had stayed as Kane V.s Big Show
then we’d have a dead cert for Worst Match
of the year. But luckily, that ever so brave
Raven was added to the mix. Now Big Show and Kane
are both argubaly to big for this title, plus it’d
be too obvious for either of them to win. So I am
opting for Big Show to hit the Chokeslam on Kane,
and the Raven to nail show with a Weapon, then as
Big Show is down, Raven will cover Big Show for
the shock win.
Winner: Raven
Womens Title Match
Chyna V.s Ivory
Chyan will win, no doubt about it. There will not
be another faked injury, because the WWF saw how
badly that was taken before, so Chyna will
dominate most of the match, and pick up an easy
win.
Winner: Chyna
Now folks, on to the non title matches………
The Undertaker V.s Triple H
This has the potential to be a brilliant match,
and H has already said he wants to steal the
show, and he is always out at big events to put
on the best performance possible. Couple that
with the fact that it may well be Undertakers
last WrestleMania, and it’s in home town, he’ll
be desperate to put on an amazing display.
But I can see Undertaker taking the win here, due
to the two facts I stated above, and that he has
an undefeated WrestleMania record.
Winner: The Undertaker
Kurt Angle V.s Chris Benoit
This is probably the match I am most looking
forward to on the card, and also my suspected
match of the night. Both of these amazing
athletes are technically supreme, along with the
fact that both will be trying to prove they are
once again worthy of main event status. Benoit is
going into this match as face, so look for Angle
to pick up the win by using a dirty tactic on
Benoit, then Benoit getting good face heat as the
crowd will feel he’s been cheated out of the
win.
Winner: Kurt Angle
RTC V.s APA and Tazz
Yuuuuuuuuk!!!!
This macth will totally suck, and if the WWF has
any sense in them they’ll keep this complete
crowd killer till near the end of the show.
Look for APA and Tazz to pick up the win, and
also the seeds to be sown for an eventual RTC
break up.
Winners: APA & Tazz
Vince V.s Shane
Look for this match to be heavily influenced by
WCW wrestlers, in favour of Shane, or maybe to
screw Shane???
There is also the possibility of Foley turning
heel and screwing Shane. There are really so many
possibilities for this match up, the out come has
everyone guessing, and I wouldn’t count an
appreance from HBK out either, although that is
unlikely.
Winner: Shane
Gimmick Battle Royal
People have been saying that Hulk Hogan is coming
back for this one, but I’d be very
surprised, and the same goes for Ultimate Warrior
as well. But if it’s true that Gillberg has
been added to the mix, I think either him, or
Gobbledygooker or Doink will win it.
Winner: Gobbledy Gooker
