Wrestlemania XXIII predictions

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

As the "self-appointed" guru of professional wrestling (or like what Vince McMahon now calls "sports entertainment") on this site, here are my predictions for WWE's biggest event of the year...

"Battle of the Billionaires" - it's highly doubtful that Donald Trump will get end up with a bald head, thus I see Bobby Lashley getting the win over "The Samoan Bulldozer" Umaga. It seems that Lashley is getting a "big" push from the company although he has no personality when it comes to doing interviews. I wouldn't be surprised if "The Rock" shows up and has some bearing on the match (they teased this a few weeks ago). Stone Cold will do his usual act, but it's so old and will most likely "stun" someone.
Result: Lashley wins over Umaga...Vincent K. McMahon will be bald. correct

World Champion title match : Batista vs. The Undertaker
The undefeated streak is on the line for the "Dead Man" and it will probably continue. It's been rumored that the current champion has been a "thorn in the side" with the company of late. It's time for Batista to drop the title and could become a "heel" down the road. I read somewhere that this match could be the best of the night, knowing the Undertaker...I highly doubt it.
Result: Undertaker defeats Batista to become new World Champion correct

WWE World Championship match : John Cena vs. Shawn Micheals
The hype for this match has been overwhelming and quite frankly, I'm sick of it! The "who's gonna turn on who first" has gotten a little old. Think Micheals wins in a close one and sets up for a "Shawn vs. "HHH" (NOT ME!) when he gets back from his injury after Summerslam. Where this leaves Cena, most likely a short break from wrestling and more Hollywood movies .
Result: New WWE champion; Shawn Micheals wrong
.
"Money in the Bank" Ladder match. I'm going with an upset here.
CM Punk gets the victory and sets up for a future title defense against Bobby Lashley at the ECW. Edge and Randy Orton will do themsleves in, setting up for a long feud in summer. It will be also interesting how the Hardy Boys will work together in this match. Can't see any of the others winning, but "Fit" Finlay is ALWAYS entertaining - especially if "Little Bastard" shows up! wrong - Kennedy!
