Wanted to do two things here: 1) If you have predictions feel free to make them here, I'll post mine after I finish my post.
2) I went to buy the show tonight and stopped when I saw the price, $54.95. I realize it is the biggest show of the year(or it is intended to be) however how good of an idea is it to price it this high? PPV buyrates have gone down lately, with the Royal Rumble hitting about a 5 year low this year. So they follow that up by charging an arm and a leg for a show that, let's be real here, has meh potential written all over some of the matches. Plus, with this economic crisis, blowing 55 bucks on this will probably scare most away. I could be wrong, the buyrate numbers will be the proof positive, but due to the price I'm not buying it this year. I'm sure I'm not alone in the world.
Predictions: JBL d. Rey Mystero Mae Young wins Miss Wrestlemania The Colons d. Miz and Morrison WWE Legends d. Chris Jericho Christian wins Money In The Bank(though I still hope for a surprise Mr. Kennedy appearance to get back the case he lost to Edge) Jeff Hardy d. Matt Hardy Big Show d. John Cena and Edge Undertaker d. Shawn Michaels Triple H d. Randy Orton

Predictions: JBL d. Rey Mystero to retain IC title, then turns around and retires for good this time Santino wins Miss Wrestlemania Miz and Morrison def. Colons to become Unified tag champs Jericho defeats the Legends, then Rourke gets in at the end and smites Jericho CM Punk wins the Money in the Bank Jeff Hardy beats Matt Hardy John Cena beats Big Show and Edge to become World Champ Shawn Michaels defeats the Undertaker to end the streak Randy Orton beats HHH to become WWE Champion (After the match, CM Punk cashes in his MITB case to beat Orton and shock everyone by taking the title)
And my last prediction, the buy rate for this show will be atrocious and WWE will end up ignoring it, as Vince seems too stubborn to see that the economy is hurting his company and that when it comes down to it, Mania don't seem like Mania anymore and the lackluster buildup for this show, plus a card nobody gives a damn about and people just keeping a close eye on their pennies altogether and are maybe ushering in a downturn for the business. In the end, I see this Mania being a bomb and hopefully it'll be a wakeup call for WWE.
