SPOILER WARNING

HBK will get screwed and forced to retire. There's a chance Bret Hart will interfere I think to try and help him.

Haven't seen rasslin for about a month (and barely at all over the last 5 years) but I reckon HHH and Orton will take the gold. The fans have turned on Cena to a certain degree I think. They're bored of him and general consensus is that he is a poor in ring performer. Then there's the whole HHH being married to the boss' daughter and can get the title when he wants. Far be it from him not to massage his ego with a WM Title win. He's also reported to be desperate to overtake Flair's 15 World Title reigns record.

I don't think Rey could ever hold the title. He's small (McMahon has a big man fetish), he has little or no mic skills and is just a spot fest wrestler. He'd only be fit for a small title reign at best. I reckon Kurt Angle is just a carrier champion to hand the title over to Orton.

Show and Kane will definitely drop the titles, they've had them for ages and Carlito and Masters are two rising stars.

I'd say Taker will beat Henry. Taker have won ever WM appearance and for his record to go down to that slab of meat would be very strange.

I can't see who will win the Money in the Bank, not one of them is fit to be a title contender.

Expect the Michael v McMahon match to contain something to masturbate McMahon's ever bulging ego.

I'm not going to buy this as I don't really watch wrestling anymore but I'll be interested to see the results.

Have to disagree there, Rob van Dam definitely deserves a run with the title.

Do you actually know anything about wrestling or are you baiting?

True, he is one of the best entertainers in the business and has never been given a decent push. I'd like to see Lashley win it, but it would be too soon for him to be given a title shot.

Neither of them are competent all round wrestlers or have any mic ability. Neither would be able to carry the company.

PS anybody who knows anything about wrestling knows RVD deserves a shot and is one of the best entertainers, in the ring and on the mic (especially proven at last year's ECW one night stand).

As for Lashley, well I don't rate him but reckon they have big plans for him.

Didn't see it. He always seemed like a dopey stoner (and I think he is!). Back in ECW he seemed to be managed by some toothless old maniac called Bill Alfonso who did the talking for him. RVD is a spot wrestler. Full of jumps and kicks but doesn't seem to be able to mat wrestle or do average manoeuvres. There are perennial entertainers like Rey, RVD, Jeff Hardy etc. Denilsons of wrestling almost. They have nice flicks and tricks but their all round game is lacking. They also lack the height which is what is generally looked for by McMahon even though I disagree with this.

To be honest I reckon the WWE and Triple H in particular has a big thing about the belt back on Flair one last time, so I expect him to win the money in the bank and then at some stage during the year 'do an edge' and hold the title for about 2-4 weeks as a farewell to the legend that is Ric Flair. RVD is too much of a stoner to be pushed by any company, and rightly so, who wants their company spokesman to appear on the front cover of High Times?

I reckon they'll also put the title on Rey as a tribute to Eddie. He'll be another one who holds the title for a short period of time as its pretty pbvious the WWE wants Orton to have the strap.

And there is no way Bret is interferring tonight, just read a couple of reports on last nights Hall of Fame induction and apparantly Bret has already left Chicago after the event. He also stayed at a differant hotel from the WWE staff, and just before his induction Shawn Michaels left the building to heavy 'You Screwed Bret' chants. Serves the backstabbing areshole right if you ask me!

But Shawn is gonna work a part time schedule from now on, something akin to Triple H (seriously the guy never wrestles!), but with less screen time. That said I still expect him to go over McMahon tonight. No matter how much of a self-absorbed ego maniac Vince is, it would look terrible for their product for him to beat one of their top wrestlers

I read he had a recent divorce and he has crippling support to pay and he shouldn't be expected to give up anytime soon despite being painfully past it. What you've suggested is plausible enough. Would like to see Finlay win.:D

Well said.

I've thought this too, but I'm just hoping they won't be milking his death further. They've been shameful in this so far.

Honestly, I wouldn't put anything past Vince.

Unfortunately I reckon they will continue to milk Guerrero's death for a while.

Expect Mysterio to win. The Rumble winner has always won the past few years. Also, why else would he have been put back in the match. I think Jebus is right that the title will be given to Orton shortly after, and I expect him to feud with Batista afterwards.

I made some awful calls there. Guess I've been out of watching too long. Cena retains and Rey wins. Show and Kane keep the tag straps. RVD wins the title shot.

Wrestling isn't about predicting who will win the match- it is predicting the right storyline.

Can't say I'm overly surprised by the Cena, Mysterio or RVD wins as they seem to suit the way they are tailoring the storylines (especially with a likely heel turn for Cena) although the Mickie James win was probably the most predictable of the night.

Well, it's a bit of both and not being a regular viewer anymore, I don't have a feel for the storylinee direction. Rey is not title material though. Did they lap it up with a bunch of Eddie references? Did he throw himself to the canvas and keep looking up to the heavens and talking and blessing and blowing kisses?
