Late Sunday Afternoon WrestleMainaXXVI (26) Notes last update before the show:
WrestleManiaXXVI (26) comes to you from University Of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ home
of the NFL's Arizona Cardinals.It is a retractable room stadium.I have been told that the roof will
be Open for WrestleMaina.
So here is the weather report:I t will be sunny and warm today.High of 80 degrees about 27C
and 70 degrees 21C by the time WrestleMaina 26 concludes .
Former American Idol winner Fantasia will be singing "America the Beautiful" to kick off
WrestleManiaXXVI (26). A ton of celebrities will be at WrestleMaina including new WWE Hall of
famer Bob Uecker,movie star Micheal Clarke Duncan,Several Baseball Players since spring training
is also being held in AZ.I hear a lot Cubs players will be there.
Expect to see a better Bret VS Vince match that what a lot people think.Bret is in awesome
ring shape from what i hear.We just may see glimpses of the old Bret tonight.
Wrestlers that are not part of the pay per view (PPV) have been told that there will be a pre
show battle royal. I am hearing about 20 to 30 wrestlers.. NXT Wrestlers maybe involved too in
either the match or the PPV.
Still no word on which match will go on last i hear either Cena/Batista,HBK/Undertaker or
Bret/Vince for a happy ending.
Saturday John Cena was presented with Make-A-Wish’s highest honor – the Chris Grecius Award
Cena has granted over 140 wishes to kids with life-threatening medical conditions.
That was indeed "Real" money falling down from the celling at the end of Ted Dibiase induction
speech last night at the Hall Of Fame.
Also that was Paul Heyman Hanging with Brock Lesnar last night at UFC111.Brock and Paul still
do business together.
Rumors:Spear=GOLDBERG in on y2jVS Edge match i do not see that.However Goldberg and
Jericho have some history together.. hmmm....NO
Drew McIntyre winning MITB and capturing the World Tittle all the same night.A lot of people
are telling me that to be the case.We will see....
HBK VS Undertaker 3 at WrestleMaina 27 NO WAY!!!
Dave Hebner in on Bret/Vince match.I really believe that will happen
Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase on separate brands come May.
I am hearing that WrestleMainaXXVIII (28) April, 1st 2012 may go to Dallas,Indy or Miami and
that WrestleManiaXXIV (29) March, 17, 2013 (11 years to the exact date that Toronto hosted
WrestleMainaX8 (18) Will go to either Toronto or Vancouver
WrestleMainaXXVII (27) will take Place On Sunday, April 3rd, 2011 from the Georgia Dome in Atl
By the way, Due to the Championship game of the NCAA basketball tournament, The Score will
not air Monday Night Raw at 9:15 on Monday April 5th. Raw will be shown at midnight instead.
TNA Impact on Spike TV will be on at 8 PM an hour early because of basketball too..
The WWE Draft will happen Monday,April 26th Raw a 3 hour Raw..
The next WWE PPV is Extreme Rules on Sunday,April,25th from Baltimore.
I will be back later with a complete recap.......
Enjoy WrestleMainaXXVI (26) it should be a slobber knocker!!!!!
Notes From Before (Saturday):
WWE has officially added the following 10-Diva tag match to Sunday's WrestleManiaXXVi event.
Beth Phoenix, Mickie James, Gail Kim, Eve Torres, and Kelly Kelly vs. Michelle McCool, Layla,
Maryse, Alicia Fox, and Vickie Guerrero.
Also expect a few surprises as mention before.I do not want to spoil it for all of you.
The whole Hart Family is in Phoenix.
Look for the Anvil and the Hart Dynasty to get involved in the Bret/Vince match.
Also look for the wrestlers that are not currently on the card to get involved on behalf of Vince.
Rumors are floating around that Dusty Rhodes,Cowboy Bob Orton and Ted Dibiase maybe in on
the Randy/Cody/Ted match.If that Happens look for a Father son 6 Man tag at the next WWE
PPV April 25 (Extreme Rules)
HHH may lose and that may lead him to cost HBK his match because HBK "has been selfish
forgetting about DX"Leading to a future match between HBK And HHH (Wrestling Retirements
WWE has not yet decided the order of the matches HBK/Taker may go on last or it maybe
Cena VS Batista
By the way, Raw returns to the Air Canada Centre on May 17
Once again here were my Predictions:
Money in the Bank Ladder Match:Winner gets a title Shot anytime for the Next Year
First time with 10 Participants involved: MVP, Christian, Evan Bourne, Kane, Dolph Ziggler, Shelton Benjamin, Jack Swagger, Matt Hardy, Drew McIntyre and Kofi Kingston.
To me i believe it will come down to either Kofi Kingston or Canadian Christian.They have the most to gain from winning Money In The Bank. There has been some talk of having Christian win and Edge winning the tittle later in the night and having the former partners square off i like to see that happen. Kofi has been punished a lot recently and he could end up winning Money In The Bank too.
My Pick: Christian
Triple Threat Match:Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase vs. Cody Rhodes:
Legacy Explodes: We basically saw this match a few weeks ago on Raw.The build for this match has just been terrible.The right thing to do in this match is that either Cody or Ted go over so they can become big stars,However that will not happen.
My Pick: Randy Orton wins with the RKO
R-Truth and John Morrison vs. The Big Show and The Miz for the Unified Tag Team Championships:
Give me one reason to take the belts off ShowMiz. They are awesome together as a team.
In all honesty Morrison and R-Truth should have been included in Money In The Bank they would fit right in that match.This match will set the stage for a huge Miz/Morrison feud.
My Pick: ShowMiz retains
CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio, if Mysterio loses he must join the Straight Edge Society:
This match is going to be great if done right. They should be given at least 20 minuets.This should be a wrestling match high paced at times and slow methodical at times.
I like to see Rey Win but i think...
My Pick: CM Punk to win and set the stage for a hair vs. mask match at Extreme Rules next PPV (Pay Per View) It will not be a clean victory.
Triple H vs. Sheamus:
The build for this match has been weak just thrown together.HHH has a history of putting guys over at WrestleMania, but I just don’t see it here. I could be wrong,For the time in 2010.
The bigger Question here is Were do both guys go after this match
My Pick: HHH
Bret Hart vs. Mr.Vince McMahon No Hold Barred:
Ever Since November 9 th 1997 the Survivor Series in Montreal.Wrestling fans have wanted to see this fight.
I don’t think there is a person on the planet who thinks Vince wins this match.Vince will have numerous wrestlers interfere in this one.They well be offset by the Hart Dynasty Even maybe the Anvil
My Pick: He waited almost 13 years.Bret Hart finally gets his revenge on Vince McMahon
For the Top three matches i have enlisted some celebrities to pick the outcome
John Cena vs. Batista for the WWE Championship:
Tracy Murray Former Raptor:
John Cena will get the victory and the strap here Joltin Joe.I do like Batista new attitude
My Pick: John Cena New WWE Champ
Edge vs. Chris Jericho for the World Heavyweight Championship:
Perry Lefko Sports Reporter:
My pick here in a battle of two Canadian greats is Edge
Eric Cohen Sports Reporter:
Edge the latest Canadian to capture Gold
My Pick: I expect this match to be the best wrestled match on the show. Both guys will give it their all this is WrestleMaina should be. This feud will not be over Sunday nite.
Edge wins.
Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker (Career vs. Streak)No count out No DQ:
Vernon Wells Current Blue Jay: Taker all the way
Goldberg in Talks with WWE former WCW Champ: Taker..He is a good friend of mine.
These guys will break the house down for a second year in a row
Stormin Norman: Undertaker.I like the name
The main event no matter where is goes on, this match alone is worth the cost of the PPV
This match will go over all over the stadium . I have no idea how it will top last years great bout but it will. But the emotional strings attached to this should be more than enough to carry this match.
My Pick: Undertaker will continue his WrestleMaina Streak. Shawn Michaels will go into wrestling retirement meaning we see him back in 6 months .Perhaps my wife said it the best..
Undertaker he always wins at Wrestlemaina...
