| Trish Stratus returns at WrestleMania. |
But that isn't my focus, not with little more then a day left of this much needed break. I am focused instead on enjoying my time of freedom as much as I possibly can. And what better way to cap this whole thing off with WrestleMania tomorrow!
Pictured to the side here is seven time WWE Women's Champion (and future WWE Hall of Famer), Trish Stratus. She is actually coming out of retirement to have a match (John Morrison, Trish Stratus and Snooki vs. LayCool & Dolph Ziggler) at the biggest pro wrestling event of the year.
The rest of the event should be pretty good too, with John Cena facing The Miz for the WWE Championship. Add into this the fact that The Rock will have to have some sort of involvement in this match. I mean after weeks of verbal crossfire between these three guys, how could there not be some sort of physical altercation between these guys?
Of course the other huge match at 'Mania is The Undertaker puts his undefeated streak up against Triple H. Of course there has been teasing that Shawn Michaels (Triple H's best friend and the guy who failed at the past 2 WrestleMania events to end the streak and ultimately cost him his career) may get involved with the match as well. Do I think The Undertaker will lose? After going undefeated for the past 18 WrestleMania events he has been involved with, how can anyone expect him to lose? I know I don't.
The World Heavyweight Championship match may start a new era, with the defending champ Edge faces Alberto Del Rio. I think I almost have to agree that Del Rio will be walking out of WrestleMania with the title. I mean this guy won the first ever 40-man Royal Rumble match and he has been talking all about how his becoming World Champion is his destiny. Factor in the facts that Edge is talking retirement, though it isn't any time in the near future. But come on... there has been a major push towards the next generation and this could very well be the next step in this movement. Then again, the other factors that can tip the scales is Christian (who is in the corner of Edge) and Brodus Clay (who is cornering Del Rio).
The match that I want to see though is the match between CM Punk and Randy Orton. They've been playing a lot of mind games with one another for a long while now and even while Orton has taken out the New Nexus, things have been built up to where it doesn't seem to make a difference now. The Viper (Orton) is even sporting an injured knee, which has to tip the scales in Punk's favor. I just don't see Punk losing tomorrow night...
Another match that has been built up by a lot of mind games is Cody Rhodes vs. Rey Mysterio. I thought the "Dashing" gimmick for Rhodes was a bit cheesy, but this turn about in character is interesting and equally fitting. He has taken a serious turn to a more unstable, almost crazy character and I have to think he has a pretty good chance of winning. As for my official prediction? I can't even call this, I think this could go either way really.
Sheamus, the current WWE United States Champion, will be defending his title against the man he won it from in Daniel Bryan. Now as much as I respect what Bryan Danielson (why couldn't they just use this name?), I don't think he stands much of a chance against the Celtic Warrior. I mean Sheamus was on a heck of a losing streak whilst King Sheamus and now that he has dropped his royal title, he has been winning once again. Maybe this will lead to another WWE Championship?
Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole could very well be a one sided smash match, with Lawler finally shutting Cole up!
The Corre vs. Santino Marella, Vladamir Kozlov, The Big Show and Kane seems like a slapped together match. But I think Team Santino could very well pick up the win here. And why not? The Corre already holds the Tag Team and Intercontinental Championships!
Whoops, didn't expect to have thrown out all of those predictions but there they are. On paper the show sounds like it should be a pretty damn good event. I wish I could afford to buy this event, but alas... maybe next year.
On a final note, which is a video game note, I finally got my hands on a Nintendo 3DS a few days ago and it went above my expectations. Now I didn't turn up the 3D to full as it just didn't quite look right to me. But just a little bit and I thought it was pretty awesome. I can't wait to see how other games will do on this new system, but as for the game I played around with (Pilotwings Resort), it was okay at best.
It reminded me way too much of Wii Sports Resort, which I played quite a bit of at home already...
Do I think it is good? Yes, definitely so!
Do I think it is worth the price? As of right now? No, not until there are better choices in games. Maybe once that happens it'll be a much easier purchase to stomach.
