LOL, I only know a few. I stopped watching wrestling years ago. I was a big ECW fan back in the day (used to go to local shows since i'm in the Philly area), but the watered down version Vince puts on TV now just isn't the same. I was also at one time a big WWF fan, but again, the "sport" has changed so much as to where either you just have to be juiced on roids and/or have some skills on the mic and you're a contender. I liked the older WWF far better. Maybe it's just cause I'm getting older, who knows.
In any case, my brother is a pretty big wrestling fan, and he said Mr Kennedy or Randy Orton are most likely to win the ladder match, and that CM Punk could be a sleeper. The big dogs, according to him, have no chance....a point to which I agree. Where would the story go if Matt Hardy won? Or Fit Finley? Seriously. The Hardys are just in there IMO to provide some entertainment, and Fit Finley is just in there to take a beating.
He also brought up about UT never losing at a WM. I personally see no reason why he would take a match in which he had to lose and ruin his undefeated streak at WM, in what will probably be his last WM. I think UT -195 is a solid bet. From a fans stanpoint, to see an "icon" like UT lose at WM would sorta ruin the PPV....and his legacy. I could see UT winning by DQ in that match, not getting the title, but still getting the win.
I also like Cena to retain the title against Michaels. When HHH comes back from his injury, he will probably once again want the title back, so unless they're gonna have him turn on Michaels, it doesn't make alot of sense to give the belt to Michaels. Unless it's just to job it to some other heel that HHH will eventually beat upon his return, but that also seems unlikely, for a big name guy like Michaels to win the title and then drop it almost immediately.
Also something to keep in mind....from what I remember, WM was usually the PPV of the "faces", or good guys. It's the biggest one of the year, and the one the most people watch. Seems in the past most of the matches have ended how the fans wanted (good guy winning), almost like giving them a result they want as a reward for watching and buying these PPV's for a whole year. I'm talking about in the bigger matches....not necessarily the undercards. This is another reason I don't see UT losing....like I said, the fans won't like it, and I dont see any reason why he would take a match at WM that he had to lose and ruin his undefeated at WM legacy. I'm sure he's the only guy who can say he's not lost at WM, and he'd probably like to keep it that way. I doubt money is a factor with him, and I am sure that after all this time and success, he has to have some creative control over his character, so I doubt a bigger payday would make him agree to losing.
I believe I'll be playing on The Undertaker to win....not sure about anyone else.
