Getting Over
Welcome to the 2nd edition of
Getting Over written for Wrestling Envy by Lewis316.
Welcome
Welcome back to Getting Over
everyone! This is the 2nd edition of my online
column called Getting Over. For those of you reading this on another site, who
missed the first edition go to my site www.WrestlingEnvy.cjb.net and read
it. I was very pleased with the first edition,
and I warned all the readers that the 2nd edition
(this one) would probably completely suck. Well,
there's only one way to find out - you read on,
I'll write on..
Wrestlemania
This years Wrestlemania will
surely be the greatest of all time - we say the
same thing every year, but this year I truly mean
it. The World Wrestling Federation roster is
bulging with talent and it's just up to the WWF
management to use them efficiently to put on a
good show. I felt that last years Wrestlemania
was a disappointment. Don't get me wrong, there
were a number of good matches that were on the
card - but it just lacked the magic it has
boasted in the past. I am pretty sure why. It's
two superstars that make the difference - that
give it that magic that we've seen in past
Wrestlemanias. No, no..it's not Triple H and The
Rock. Hell, it's not even Hulk Hogan and Andre
the Giant. In my view, it's Stone Cold Steve
Austin and the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels.
Wrestlemania 14 - the main event was between
those two. We had the magic. Wrestlemania 15 -
Austin main evented against The Rock, but
commissioner HBK appeared right before the main
event to stop Vince being the referee. Magic here.
Wrestlemania 16 (2000) - Where's Austin gone?
Where's the Heartbreak Kid? No magic here.
Wrestlemania 17 - Austin is back from injury and
in the main event once more. Shawn Michaels is
going to be there too. Now we have our magic back.This
year Wrestlemania is going back to it's
traditional roots and I'm glad. This year's
advert has a traditional side to it - it has
Austin on the advert. Guess which superstar on it
is suspiciously the only one not a current WWF
superstar. Shawn Michaels. A hint perhaps? A big
hint, I would say. I wouldn't be surprised if HBK
got invoved in the Triple H/Undertaker match in
some way or form. I would guess as a special
guest referee - or something along those lines.
Mania X-7, this is going to be good. I can't wait.
The reason I can't wait is because of my
imagination. It runs wil when I consider the
possibilities of this years Wrestlemania. Here
are the list of matches that are likely to take
place, with what all the other columnists do -
predictions for what will happen.
WWF Title Match: Steve Austin vs.
The Rock w/Debra
In this match I feel Debra will
have significance in the outcome of the match -
otherwise Vince wouldn't have made her The Rock's
manager. Because The Rock is filming The Scorpion
King in the 6 months following Wrestlemania, he
can't win the title. It will be Austin who will
win the gold. Debra will screw Austin sometime in
the match and help the Rock, but Kurt Angle will
make a run-in, interfere, break the Rock's ankle
and Austin will eventually get the Stunner - for
the belt. Rock's ankle injury will then give him
the perfect reason for his absence. New champion:
Stone Cold Steve Austin.
The Undertaker vs. Triple H
As I said earlier in the column,
Shawn Michaels will be special guest referee. So,
what have we got..The Undertaker is face (good
guy), Triple H is heel (bad guy) and Shawn
Michaels is face too. This match is my pick for a
heel turn. Not for The Undertaker, but for Shawn
Michaels. He will hit 'Taker with the Sweet Chin
Music and give HHH the win. Hopefully, then HBK,
Triple H, X-Pac, and Justin Credible (maybe) will
re-form D-Generation X. Oh well - we can only
hope! Winner: Triple H
Hardcore Title Match: Big Show vs.
Kane
Not even a confirmed match as I
write this column, but as Kane is unbooked for
Mania and his tag partner Undertaker is, he will
probably face Big Show for the hardcore title. I
think Show will retain his title in this match
but will lose the belt mid-way through the bout
to Steve Blackman or Hardcore Holly. Winner: Big
Show
TLC Match for Tag Titles: Dudley
Boyz vs. Edge/Christian vs. Hardy Boyz
This match will almost definitely
happen. Last year we saw these 3 teams go at it
in a ladder match. That was a stunning match and
this year will be just as good - if not better. A
certain candidate for match of the year. As for
the winners, I would go for the Hardy Boyz
retaining the titles through a straight win via a
Swanton Bomb off a ladder, through a table.
Winners: The Hardy Boyz
Intercontinental Title Match:
Chris Jericho vs. William Regal
Well I can only see one out come
for this match. The winner will be William Regal
via some interference in some way. To make this
brief, Jericho is set for a big push in 2001 and
is set to become WWF Champion later this year. So
he will lose the IC Title here to Regal, who will
then feud with Test. Winner: William Regal
Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero vs.
vs. Dean Malenko vs. Perry Saturn
All four Radicalz against each
other in a fatal four way sounds very interesting.
All of these competitors are talented WRESTLERS -
meaning they can wrestle using more than 5 moves.
This is a good bet for Chris Benoit to win - he
will be the only face in the match and versus 3
other heels can only bring one outcome for me.
Benoit will become a solid face in this match-up
as he will move up for bigger things, as like
Chris Jericho. This will be a technical match
with a high entertainment level. Winner: Chris
Benoit
Crash Holly & Molly Holly vs.
Raven & Tori (Mystery Ninja)
This one's a hard one to call. So
I'm gonna go all out and just say Raven and Tori
will win. They are the heel team so to even out
the card a little, the heel team will win the
match. Simple as that. Winner: Raven & Tori
Women's Title Match: Chyna vs
Ivory
This is going to be the easiest
match to predict with the obvious winner being
the returning Chyna. The only other way Ivory
will win is by Chyna re-injuring her neck injury
AGAIN. As this happened in their previous
encounter, it will not repeat itself. So that
leaves us with a new dominant women's champion.
Winner: Chyna
Kurt Angle vs. Test
The only reason I've put this
match on here is because these are 2 superstars
left unbooked through my other predicted matches.
I really want Test to get a win over Test and
move into the big time, but at the same time I
can't see former WWF Champion Kurt Angle jobbing
at the biggest event of the year. Winner: No
Contest
Haku & Rikishi vs. Right To
Censor vs. Acolytes
As with the match before, this is
just another match between the unbooked wrestlers
on the Mania card. This will turn into a big
brawl with the eventual winners being Rikishi and
Haku. This match will spell the end of RTC with
them being at the hands of a beating from the APA
during the match-up. Winners: Haku & Rikishi
Wrapping it up..
Well that's the end of my second
column, and to be honest it didn't suck as much
as I thought it would. Oh well, I guess the next
time I'll see you is after Wrestlemania with an
analysis of the event. This has been a long
column, so I better end it here. Thanks for
taking your time to read it - until next time,
this has been Lewis316...
