WrestleMania XXXIII Predictions

WrestleMania XXXIII is one day away, and as usual the forum is abuzz! I also won't call it "The Ultimate Thrill Ride" because I like Roman numerals.

For those interested, the chatbox will be open for the event and many of us will be there, with notable numbers complaining.

I am going to open threads for each and every confirmed match, but thought I would try and rescue the old "predictions" threads ran by such alumni as Gregers and Samo. I cannot remember their rules or formats, so I'll make it up as I go.

The card is long, convoluted and in many places dull, but I'll see what I can do to make it seem more interesting. Will I have the time to do this each PPV? (EVERY TWO F'ING WEEKS!) I doubt it, so any volunteers always appreciated.

RULES:

Please predict the WINNER:    and    METHOD:               - There is one point on offer for each.

For certain matches, there will be bonus points available. There is also a bonus point option at the end.
