This year's looks to be one of the best ever. We have some classics lined up.

JBL vs. John Cena
Cena's been getting a lot of pushing lately, and this is his latest foray into the main event status. Make no mistake, I will be rooting for JBL. Should be a good'n PICK: JBL

Batista vs HHH
I'm not excited about either one of these guys, but I'll pick Batista. I'm starting to warm up to him, and he seems like a legit face, despite what I thought before. Pick: HHH (duh)

Randy Orton vs. Undertaker
Orton looks to be returning heel (which rocks. he sucked as face) to take on the Undertaker to stop the Dead Man's WM winning streak. Problems with this are Orton's injured shoulder, which will keep him on the shelf post-mania and Taker's age taking it's toll on him. PICK: Taker

HBK vs. Kurt
I love HBK. No doubt about it. But Angle demands huge respect, and rumors are flying that he will retire after this match.....which sucks. He's one of the most talented guys to ever enter that ring. Will cheer and applaud both. PICK: HBK

Christy Hemme vs. Trish Stratus
Christy Hemme doesn't deserve this. She's not a wrestler and never will be. Crap match. I'd rather watch Snitsky vs. Kane again. PICK: Trish

Money in the Bank Ladder Match (Y2J vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Kane vs. Edge vs. Christian vs. Chris Benoit)
This will be the best match of the night. Kane is the odd-duck, as some of you can see. Story goes that since Edge was a douche, and Lita was a slut, Matt Hardy's return has been held back and may go back to Smackdown instead of returning to RAW due to possible backstage friction. PICK: Y2J

Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio Jr.
This will be a face vs. face match. Wierd to have a match at Mania with such a short notice of build-up, but these two rock. Will be great to see them wrestle again. PICK: Rey Mysterio Jr.

Big Show vs. Akebono in a Sumo Match
This will be wierd. Very old school of the WWE to bring in outside talent for Mania, but should be interesting to see. PICK: Akebono

And then there's the Piper's Pit segment which should rock hard.

WHAT WE DON'T GET TO SEE

Chavo vs. Paul London
Since Chavo is on the shelf, we won't get to see this potentially incredible match.

Make your picks and post Mania comments.

Yep, it looks good. I only order one PPV a year, and that is Wrestlemania, so I hope it's good. My friend orders Royal Roumble every year too. I pretty much agree with your picks, but for some reason I think that Cena and Batista will win.

If Orton wins...this will be the last WrestleMania I will watch.

They're going to let him win. He has to. His character is so damn dead that it's going to take a win of this magnitude for him to get ANY cred back. That and this is the FIRST Wrestlemania where UT streak has ever been brought up.

Uh, no, UT's streak has been brought up every year at least since 2001 when he went for #10 against HHH.

I only watch one wrestling event per year any more at all, and this is usually it with my friends up at Hooters. I've been out of the loop on all the stories...

They've never brought it up like they've done with Orton. Hell it's never been hyped at all, the biggest thing they did was a side note. Did you know?!: Undertaker has never lost at Wrestlemania

They overhyped his match with HHH that exact same way, trust me. It was allllllllll about HHH breaking his streak, because he was the game-uh.

That may have been the plan, but Orton is getting shoulder surgery, so it wouldn't help his character any to beat the Undertaker and not be there to brag about it.

So, after seeing this and not seeing a WWE event since the last Wrestlemania, I gotta say I'm not exactly impressed. It was a meh show at best.

Eddie and Rey just had too many missed spots, and Rey's mask was REALLY bugging him. He was adjusting it while hanging off of Eddie's shoulder. Poor guy. That would have been a great match if they actually hit everything they were trying to do.

The ladder match was cool, although I miss TLC. Shelton's run up the ladder was great, as we were all predicting it but we didn't think anybody in the match could actually pull it off.

Kurt and HBK put on a great match, as expected. Cena's win did nothing for me, as it seemed to happen too fast. I think HHH spent too much time beating the crap out of Batista. They should have gone back and forth more like Kurt/HBK.

And I felt that the Undertaker gliding to the ring was cool, even if there were bad camera angles that showed the platform.

But nothing will really jump out at me as something to remember.

The ladder match was too short. The Women's title match was a joke. A sad.......sad joke. Kurt vs. HBK was great, although at the end, it looked like Kurt was violating HBK's leg. ;)

Good show. Hulk showing up was too badass for words. I went fucking nute going, "HE'S HERE!!!".

The Ladder Match was awesome as Hell. So many jumps. And a lot of those moments where everyone in the resuraunt goes "OOOOOOOHHHHHhhh..."

Cena vs JBL was okay. Seemed like any old Pay-Per-View match.

I'm just glad Undertaker won. I liked how he skateboarded to the ring.

Womens' wrestling is over.

Kurt Angle vs Shawn Michaels was the best of the night. I feel it was a historic match.

Nobody cares about the Sumo match.

Piper's Pit was cool. But that's it, cool.

The Main Event was one of the worst in History. I mean, Batista became world champion. And the whole match was just Batista kicking his ass. His push begun too early. And who wants to see Triple H main event again?
