Wrestlemania XIX: A Look Ahead

03-28-03

I am literally vibrating.

As always, I am most excited about WrestleMania, and this year looks to be an amazing show. From the fact that four matches could realistically be the main event, to the build that these matches have received, to the historic possibilities of these matches, everything has lined up very, very nicely.

The Three-way for the Women's title between Trish, Victoria, and Jazz- I am excited…by the prospects this match offers.

These are the three best women in the WWE right now, and they have a strong storyline. I expect Trish to walk out with the belt, but Victoria is gaining momentum, and getting good ratings, too. It should be a nice match. I pick Trish.

By the way, Victoria and Trish are both HOT!HOT!HOT!

Cruiserweight Title: Rey Misterio vs. Matt Hardy- What can I say, these two are the best thing in the Cruiserweight division. Matt Hardy is on the cusp of greatness, as his gimmick has taken him up in the eyes of most fans. This will be an excellent match, barring injury or the need to speed through it. Rey wins.

Undertaker/Nathan Jones vs. The Big Show/A-Train- No way this is any good. Jones is far too green, Taker can't carry Big Show, and A-Train is hopeless. Good time for a beer run. UT keeps the streak alive.

Kane/RVD vs. Lance Storm/Chief Morely for the Raw Tag Belts- This could go either way (like Olivia Newton-John). I really want to love this, since RVD is spectacular, if spotty, and Lance Storm is a ring technician, but I have a feeling this will fall flat. RVD hits the Frog Splash to win him some gold.

WWE Tag Title Three-way between Rhyno/Benoit vs. Team Angle vs. Los Guerreros- This could be the show stealer. Rhyno and Benoit are a solid team that never puts out less than 100%. Team Angle is constantly working and is the only team that feels like and old school tag team, with combo moves and a finisher.

Los Guerreros are amazing, with Chavo stepping, and Eddy always looking good, if a step down in recent weeks. This should be long, multi-faceted, and just plain great. This will be the match that cements Rhyno into a top position. Rhyno/Benoit walk out champs.

Booker T vs. HHH for the World Title- Booker's push is a welcome change for recent RAW offerings. The build has been only decent, but Book and H worked well together this week, and I am excited by the possibilities. HHH is champ at the end, but this is only the start. Long term, Booker holds gold by June.

Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels- This will be good. Michaels can still step it up, and Jericho is at the top of his game when he works with motivated people. May not get enough time, but otherwise, it should be very good. Michaels wins with the Superkick.

Rock vs. Austin- This is a dangerous match, as it needs to be real good to build Austin back up and to prove that Rock still has it. I have my doubts, but the fact that Austin has always put out good work at Mania, and Rock had a couple of decent matches with Hurricane and the Battle Royal, and this may just fly. Austin wins.

Vince vs. Hogan- Twenty years in the making, and it is being pushed as the real main event. It will be a good brawl, as both Vince and Hogan know how to work that style so that their weaknesses don't show through. It won't be a classic, but I'd expect a good show. Hogan without a doubt. Mark it, Dude.

Angle vs. Lesnar- The match. No other story will be talked about as much in the coming years than what Kurt does in this match. This may be his last match, and the build has been great. Lesnar is on the verge, as the crowd buys him as the real deal, but has yet to become the draw they need. He'll either make himself the unquestioned #1, or prove that he's only another in a long line of "almost greats" that McMahon has given the belt.

This will be a match built on drama, as I doubt Kurt will take a lot of big moves, but the whole thing will be built around a couple of spots that will change everything. I expect big things, and I think Kurt, knowing that this may be the last chance he gets to establish himself forever, will give it all, like Michaels in 1998. Lesnar wins it, but the real match is to see who gets the standing O at the end.

That's that. It will be a great show, a memorable show if nothing else. Angle's performance has the chance to be historic, Hogan vs. Vince could be the defining moment, the crowd response to some of the underneath guys could change the direction of the WWE, especially if they respond to Matt Hardy and RVD as big stars, as they have at recent shows.

All in all, WrestleMania will be a great show.
